Professional Haunted Attractions

NYNJ trip

Stiltbeast Studios documents a working trip to New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia that combined professional actor training with haunt research. The creator visits several notable attractions — including Times Scare, Corner of Chaos, and Eastern State Penitentiary's Terror Behind the Walls event — capturing reference photography of aged architecture, paint, rust, and stonework. The footage and images serve as real-world inspiration for recreating weathered, decayed environments in haunted attraction set design. Coney Island and various New York locations round out the visual reference library.
