This planet has been invaded by Aliens from Outer Space, who’ve chosen three places on Earth to start their takeover, New York, Los Angeles, and East Haven, CT!
THE HAUNTED TROLLEY, Connecticut’s most unique Halloween experience, returns to the Shore Line Trolley Museum, 17 River Street in East Haven for the fourth year in a row with an all-new show this year. Whereas it debuted as a curated high-concept event mixing storytelling, the paranormal, theater, and the ride itself, and transitioned into a full-out on-board Murder Mystery Theatrical Experience, the tradition continues but with an ALIEN INVASION theme.
This year, THE HAUNTED TROLLEY presents “ALIEN INVASION: CONNECTICUT,” an all-new exclusive Halloween-themed “OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD” experience very different from past productions. Guests will take an unforgettable ride aboard an ancient trolley with hosts who will turn their evening into a journey they won’t soon forget. It’s a live adventure that includes the interactive aspect of the evening plus the ride itself.
Limited to only 40 passengers per adventure, the event includes a pre-ride audio-visual orientation and introduction to the plot, followed by an immersive 30-45 minute show/program combining an alien invasion, thrills, theater, Halloween themes, audience participation, and a heavy dose of comedy – where the guests help decide the outcome of this curated UFO adventure.
This is like nothing ever “encountered” before. It is not an indoor or outdoor haunted attraction, it’s not a hayride, and it is not a trail in the woods. There are no zombies, no clowns, no masked monsters. There are no chainsaws, loud music, or teenaged actors chasing you or screaming in your ears. And there’s no waiting in line for hours! Expect fun + mystery + a lot of laughs aboard a great ride. The only “probing” might be from a UFO investigatOR.
