NYC’s biggest, best, and most fun underground Halloween party tradition, annually since 2006, the New York Night Train Haunted Hop, saw over 3000 revelers last year and is raising the bar even higher for 2023! Jonathan Toubin’s annual record hop has evolved over 18 editions into an epic multi-room indoor/outdoor music festival/dance party featuring nonstop live acts (36 bands!), dancing (10 DJs!), horror cinema (projected from 16mm reels), performance, art installations, visuals, decor galore, food, drink, and the annual $500 costume contest! Eight straight action-packed hours of nonstop thrills and chills in a gargantuan haunted house sprawled out across a labyrinth of unique party environments! Free shuttle back and forth from the Jefferson L Train stop all night long! Dress up! Come early! Stay late! Make a night of it!
