NIGHTMARE, now in its sixth year, moves to a new location this fall with an all-new version of the critically acclaimEd Halloween production: NIGHTMARE: VAMPIRES, plus a new attraction, NIGHTMARE 666. Both events will take frights to new heights at a brand new location, THE NOHO EVENT CENTER at 623 Broadway (at Houston Street, enter on Mercer) from September 25th - November 7th. The "spectacularly scary haunted house and Halloween extravaganza," (Gotham Magazine) is created and directed by the "King of Horror" ("ABC World News Tonight") Timothy Haskell and presented by Psycho Clan (Producer/Executive Director, Chip Meyrelles). Visit www.NightmareNewYork.com for more information.

Now in its sixth year and at a new location, NIGHTMARE's fully immersive haunted house takes haunting to a whole new level. Get ready to play your part in NIGHTMARE: VAMPIRES, a unique haunted attraction that unfolds as an original horror story! Set in the Museum of Vampyric Artifacts (MoVa), the world's first vampire museum features antiquities related to vampires from the headlines, in the media and from around the world. However, when MoVa and everyone in it are attacked by blood-lusting maniacs, you won't just be viewing the exhibits on display . . . you'll be running from them! Witness the birth of a new vampire legend!

NIGHTMARE: VAMPIRES is a classic walk-through haunted house that features downtown fearmeister Timothy Haskell's trademark theatricality. The horror continues with NIGHTMARE 666, a short, sharp and grotesque black magic show featuring a variety of sacrifices . . . some of them human. Will you be one?

Finally, MoVa will be open during the day, operating as a "vampire" museum, and not a haunted house. It will still be fully interactive, so expect a few thrills as you wander through each exhibit. Although the artifacts aren't real, the information is, so it's perfect for any vampire lover young or old. There will be attendants around to answer any questions you may have. Entry into the MoVa is only $5 cash at the door.

Created and written by Timothy Haskell, NIGHTMARE: VAMPIRES is co-directed by John Harlacher ("Urchin"). Additionally, for the first time, several emerging visual artists have been invited to contribute concepts and designs for their own signature rooms. They include world renowned horror photographer Joshua Hoffine ("Lady Bathory") www.joshuahoffine.com, Liza Petrosyan, Sylva Ventiko (www.ventiko.com) and Brooklyn Art Department (BAD - www.brooklynartdepartment.com)

NIGHTMARE: VAMPIRES will also feature the work of its veteran design team, including Wendy Yang (costumes), Aaron and Justin Haskell (props/sfx), Paul Smithyman (sets), David Roy (sound) and Garin Marshall (lights).

Timothy Haskell (Creator/Director) recently directed the Off-Broadway hits Stitching, The Jaded Assassin, Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy starring Corey Feldman at the Classic Stage Company, the Paris Hilton spoof, I Love Paris and the 2002 cult hit Road House: The Stage Play at the Barrow Street Theatre.

Chip Meyrelles (Producer/Executive Director) has produced theater on and Off Broadway. His credits include The Lieutenant of Inishmore, Ethan Coen's Almost an Evening, Bug and Orson's Shadow. He is the executive director of Art Meets Commerce. (www.artmeetscommerce.net)
