5: Demon Acres
341 Co Rte 36, Hannibal, NY(Click for More Info)
From Our 2020 Review:
Scare Factor Rating: 8.22/10
Demon Acres has been in the business of scaring people for 10 years, and with each new season, they get a little bit better at it. The amount of energy from the actors, and the sets that are purposely built to give you an uneasy feeling all contribute to the spooky-scary vibe everywhere you. . .4: Cayo Industrial Horror Realm
530 Harbor Way, Rome, NY(Click for More Info)
From Our 2020 Review:
Scare Factor Rating: 9.09/10
The talent at Cayo is truly something to behold. High energy, dedicated actors that know their scene and role very well will barrage guests at every opportunity.

With that being said, the cast at. . .1: Crooked Descent Haunted Attraction

From Our 2021 Review:
Scare Factor Rating: 9.43/10
To quote Crooked Descent’s answer to ‘is it scary?’ – ‘We wait 11 months out of the year for this. What do you think? We really don’t recommend children under 13.’ We were absolutely blown away by the intensity of these attractions, and to think that 2021 is their first year in the new building. We. . .We hope you enjoyed our list of the scariest haunted attractions in New York to visit for 2022!
