Halloween House Long Island has a new address. The all-ages walk-through attraction that spent the last several seasons inside Broadway Commons in Hicksville opened this week at 777 Pulaski Road in Greenlawn, and it arrives carrying the same promise that made it a family favorite: nobody is going to jump out at you.

That one design decision is the whole identity of the place. There are no actors, no chase scenes, no gore and no strobe-lit hallways built to make you scream. What there is instead is roughly 45 minutes of fully decorated, fully indoor themed rooms, built for people who love Halloween itself, the pumpkins, the glow, the candy, the costumes, rather than the terror industry that grows up around it every October.

What is actually inside

The Greenlawn building holds a string of immersive rooms, each one a different corner of the holiday. A Beetlejuice-inspired illusion room plays with scale and perspective. The Glow Room drops visitors into blacklight color. There is a haunted carnival with games you can actually play and prizes you can actually win, a zombie bunker, a spiderweb spectacle, a haunted hotel room, and a trick-or-treat room where the candy is real. New for this season is a Halloween edition of Jeopardy, played as you pass through.

The whole route is indoors and climate controlled, which matters more than it sounds on a raw October night with a six-year-old in a costume. Tours run about 40 to 45 minutes at a stroller-friendly pace, and the operators are explicit that the target feeling is spooky, never scary. It is the Halloween attraction for the kid who wants to be inside the holiday without a masked stranger lunging at them, and honestly for plenty of adults who feel the same way.

From a mall in Hicksville to its own building in Greenlawn

Halloween House started as a pandemic-era project and found its footing at Broadway Commons, where it ran alongside a sibling Christmas attraction and built a following among Nassau families. The move east to Pulaski Road gives it a standalone home in a hamlet that readers mostly know for its delis, its LIRR stop and its stubborn small-town feel inside the Town of Huntington.

For Greenlawn, it is a genuinely new kind of tenant. The hamlet has never had a destination attraction of this sort, and for the next month the family minivans of half the township will be learning exactly where 777 Pulaski Road is.

Hours, tickets and the practical part

The posted schedule gives the house real range: weekday evenings from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Friday nights until 9, Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with hours subject to change as the season peaks. The long daytime weekend windows are the tell that this is built for young families, because no haunted attraction that wants to terrify you opens at 11 in the morning.

Tickets are sold online through the attraction's own site, with separate adult and child pricing and an express-entry option for the weekends closest to Halloween, when the line gets real. Weekday evenings early in the month are the quiet play.

Why this is the season's family move

Long Island does scary extremely well. Bayville runs a full scream park, Melville fills a park with haunted houses, and the corn mazes of the East End get properly dark after sundown. What the Island has had less of is the other half of the holiday, the version you can bring a toddler, a grandparent or a jump-scare-averse middle schooler to without anyone riding home in silence.

That is the slot Halloween House occupies, and the move to Greenlawn puts it within an easy drive of Huntington, Northport, Centerport, East Northport and Commack just as October gets serious. If your family's Halloween is more candy corn than chainsaw, the new address on Pulaski Road is the one to put in the phone.
