WebsiteHeadless Horseman Hayrides

The Headless Horseman Hayride and Haunted Houses is an outdoor haunted attraction in the Hudson Valley area of New York. It is located in Ulster Park, about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Kingston, New York. This haunted attraction covers 45 acres (180,000 m2) and includes a hay ride, corn maze, and five haunted houses.[1] The attraction has been rated as the "#1 haunted attraction in the United States[2][3] by Haunt World Magazine, and listed as one of the "Top 20 Hometown Haunted Houses in America" by Fangoria.[4] H5 has been featured on Emeril's Halloween special and the Travel Channel, and draws celebrities as customers as well.[5]

Background

The hayride opened for the Halloween season in 1992,[6] stemming from a disguise business Michael Jubie developed during his time as an undercover police officer, as well as the couple's love of Halloween.[7] As of 2015 it featured twelve distinct attractions and employed over 350 people during the season.[7] Owners Michael and Nancy Jubie started the attraction out of a love of Halloween and experience with disguises.[8] Michael has written articles about safety in outdoor haunted attractions,[9] and lectures about his experiences in the industry.[10][11]

H5 is located on a 45-acre (180,000 m2), 200-year-old farm that some employees report is actually haunted.[12] The facility, which was named Tourism Business of the Year by the Ulster County Development Corporation in 2008,[13] has garnered a reputation for tailoring the terror experience to the individual customer.[14]

Production

A year-round crew is employed to develop and implement the annual themes at the attraction. The storyline is developed by the Jubies and Dave Berman in concert with the production crew, headed by Kyle Jubie and Ernie Bonelli. Creative Director Rob Corsino (2002-2014) develops both the sets and oversees the makeup professionals as they create a look for each actor that complements the set and writing.[14]

The sets designs, writing, and acting have led industry publication Haunt World Magazine to repeatedly list H5 among its Top 13 haunted attraction list, "America's Best Haunted Houses," and as its No. 1 Best Scream Park.[2][3][15]

Attractions

Hayride

Storyteller dressing to guide wagon riders on the hayride

Patrons are first taken on a hay ride on a wagon which holds 25–30 customers. Customers are given ample opportunity to be scared by actors during the trip, which is facilitated by a "storyteller," another actor who is on the wagon for the ride. Each year the hayride has a different theme, and the storyteller narrates the tale, interacts with other characters, and sets the mood for customers. The veteran actors along the trail attend regular acting classes to sharpen their scaring skills.[14] There is some debate about the ideal place to sit on the wagon for the most enjoyment,[5] but the hayride is scary enough to cause some customers to jump off the wagon, or knowingly leave valuable possessions behind.[16]
