About the House of Shock

The House of Shock was founded by Ross Karpelman, Jay Gracianette, Steven Joseph and friends in 1993. Since then it has grown into a leader and trendsetter in the haunted attraction industry. It started as a discussion between these lifelong friends about what Halloween meant to them as children. This rekindled their desire to recreate that feeling as adults while sharing that feeling with the youth of today. The House of Shock now boasts a 25,000-square-foot haunted attraction comprising of three all new events.
