If you think Christmas time means pull out the lights and tuck away the skulls, you could not be more wrong. One haunt company in New Jersey is putting the slay back in sleigh bells with their Christmas themed haunt, Santas Slay.

Put on by the terrifying folks at Brighton Asylum, they work hard to have year round haunts and escape rooms themed for every occasion. According to the legend, the Brighton Asylum was opened in the 1940’s as a place to house the mentally unstable and psychologically damaged souls. After a slew of mysterious disappearances, the asylum was shut down in 1952. Although a full investigation was supposed to have taken place, there has never been any indication of such investigations. The doctors of the asylum were allegedly using the patients to run experiments on the deepest and darkest fears housed within their minds. Most of the ongoings in the asylum are unknown due to the lack of documents.

In 2011, the asylum re-opened its doors. This time as a haunt experience. Leading brave souls through the rooms of the patients, it is rumored their haunting energies still reside today. The Brighton Asylum is home to several haunt attractions, as well as escape games throughout the year.

The next haunt to take place at the Brighton Asylum will be held for two nights in December for Santas Slay.

Put some pep back into your step this holiday season with “Santa’s Slay”. Its everything a horror fan could want for Christmas! Take a stroll through Santa’s workshop and see lobotomized elves mindlessly packing demented toys! Evil Jack Frost, rabid reindeer, chainsaw-wielding Santa’s, and SO much more!
