CREEPSHOW AT THE FREAKSHOW!
PHANTOM OF THE PRESIDENTIAL WAX MUSEUM
DAILY, October 17th - 31st
Poster Design by Jamie Coville
PHANTOM OF THE PRESIDENTIAL WAX MUSEUM is an interactive show (allow
45 minutes for the complete experience) that tours various rooms at
the Coney Island Sideshows by the Seashore building generally not
available to the public such as the creepy basement, back stairs, etc.
Audience members will take a "tour" of the "historic" wax museum and
meet Presidential and First Lady ROBOTS along the way including
Lincoln, Clinton, Hillary and Laura, Nixon and finally robots Obama
and McCain. Audience will also get to partake in a Presidential Shooting Gallery and fire ping pong ball rifles at Kennedy, Lincoln,
Garfield and McKinley. The show concludes with the funeral for an"almost" dead president with Obama and McCain robots competing to
give the better funeral speech.
Along the tour the audience will hear the "true" story of murder and
fire that closed the famed Coney Island Presidential Wax Museum in 1971.
All in all this is a story of 1970's carny horror!
CREEPSHOW AT THE FREAKSHOW is Coney Island’s only Halloween extravaganza and one of the best haunted tours in all of New York City. Come see what the New York Press called "not only the best and wildest haunted house in town, but the smartest as well."
