Forget the dark woods — the real scares this Halloween are waiting at 93 Sprucewood Drive in Levittown.
That’s where Carol and Kevin Powell have turned their home into a full-scale indoor haunted house — complete with eerie lights, smoke, live actors, and just the right amount of terror for every visitor.
Walk through the front door and the fun begins. Ten rooms and hallways on the first floor have been completely transformed into spooky scenes, each featuring at least one live actor — one scarier than the next.
Carol, an artist who has adored Halloween since childhood, says the project is a dream come true.
“I’ve always loved Halloween since I was a child,” she told Greater Long Island. “I’m an artist and I like to create things, so this lets me do both.”
Her husband, Kevin, a contractor, plays a key role in bringing the elaborate haunt to life.
“I create and break things, he fixes it,” Carol said with a laugh. “He wasn’t on board at first, but now he is. I couldn’t do it without him.”
The transformation is so complete that their son temporarily moves out each fall once construction begins in August — because there’s simply no room left to live downstairs once the monsters move in.
Visitors can even choose their own “scare level” before entering — low, medium, or super scary — making it fun for both thrill-seekers and those who prefer their frights a little lighter.
Guests who’ve made it through say it’s the real deal.
“It was super scary, but I loved it,” said Madison Gutmann of Baldwin.
“I jumped like six or seven times,” added Melissa Knatz of Rockville Centre.
Admission is just $5, with all proceeds donated to a family friend of the Powells who has a handicapped son.
For Carol, it’s never been about profit — it’s about creativity, community, and sharing her lifelong love of Halloween.
“It’s a lot of work, but seeing everyone’s reactions when they come through makes it totally worth it.”
