About

The Village of Sleepy Hollow hasn’t had a haunted attraction in this legendary Halloween-centric village since 2019.  They decided to remedy that by partnering with Psycho Clan, a band of misfits from the city who the NY Times calls, “The Emperors of Immersive Horror,” to create The Horsemen: Terror Lies in Chaos. Additional collaborations with the Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective.

Psycho Clan is bringing their brand of terror to Sleepy Hollow this fall! This new horror experience is the surreal fever dream of a madman, taking place in a nightmarish hospital as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse descend upon us.  To stop the end of the world, the patrons must find a 5th horseman, a headless one, CHAOS, and destroy him before he destroys us all!

The production team includes: Timothy Haskell (writer/ director), Paul Smithyman (Production Designer), Faye Armon (Props and set-dressing), David Hinkle (SFX) Yang Yu (lighting), and Zoe Stanton-Savitz (sound)

No one under 16 admitted without a chaperone.  We highly recommend no one under 12.

Who’s Who

Psycho Clan is the artistic team behind the world renowned “Nightmare Haunted House” that has been running on the Lower East Side and elsewhere for 21 seasons.  Additionally, they created and produced the recent immersive horror theater experiences The Dark House, I Can’t See and This is Real. They have also been asked to build Haunted experiences for Central Park in Bethesda Tunnel, Luna Park in Coney Island, and they even built a haunted house to introduce a new flavor of Pop Tart at the Kellogg’s store in Union Square. Psycho Clan has also produced the extreme Easter egg hunt "Full Bunny Contact" and the twisted Christmas spectacular "SANTASTICAL".

Partnering in this scarefest is The Village of Sleepy Hollow. The Village of Sleepy Hollow is located along the eastern shore of the Hudson River in Westchester County, NY. Home to approximately 10,000 residents, the land was originally settled by the Lenape Native Americans. Dutch immigrants began to arrive in the 17 th century and a portion of the area became known as “Slapers Haven,” (roughly translated as “Sleepy Harbor” or later, “Sleepy Hollow”).

Thousands visit the Village year round - but more fervently in the fall, to honor the legacy of Washington Irving’s famous short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The fictional tale features actual local landmarks that survive in the Village to this day, Including the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, built in 1697. Today, the Village is proud to be an ethnically diverse and welcoming community.

THE HORSEMEN… couldn’t happen without the valuable contributions from the Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective. Founded in 2021, the Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective (the SHAC) is dedicated to building community through artistic collaboration and education in the performing and visual arts. SHAC provides a range of programming from toddler music classes and in-school theater residencies to holiday concerts and evening workshops and shows for adults. Partnerships with SHAC include local organizations such as the Hudson Valley Writers Center, the Foundation for the Schools of the Tarrytowns, Shames JCC, Tarrytown Arts Camp, TaSH farmers market, and the Sleepy Hollow Bookshop.
