Vivid Society NY

from Lenore Townsend

Twisted Trails is a premier Halloween haunted forest walk-through attraction located in Staten Island, New York. Unlike traditional indoor haunted houses, it offers an immersive outdoor experience through wooded trails, featuring a mix of animatronics, live actors, cinematic sets, and interactive photo opportunities. It’s designed to be family-friendly during the day (less scary, no actors) and more intense at night, making it suitable for all ages. The attraction is often described as one of Staten Island’s top Halloween destinations.
