- Originally opened as a camp for over achievers in the 1970’s as Camp Gateway, it soon turned to terror as the camp attendees, and staff became consumed by the demon spirits of a nearby graveyard… the staff became crazy, over run by a possessed Camp Director that spread terror and committed atrocities among campers- many campers went missing… and became inhabited by the demon spirit themselves. The camp was condemned by the state after many confirmed abominations and a fatal event. It is said that the original occupants of this Camp Terror still roam the grounds waiting for victims. Will the demons follow you home? Will you become a victim and fall to the camp Director and his staff or will you morph a demon camper and stuck at camp terror forever?
Camp Terror and all our attractions are part of the larger fundraising efforts of our parent company, The Performing Arts Center of Suffolk Country.

About Camp Terror at Gateway's Haunted Playhouse
The Gateway mounted its first production in 1950, making it the region’s oldest professional theater. But the venue's rich history isn't without skeletons—and many of them aren't props. During Halloween season, Gateway's talented directors, actors, and designers come together to create their own brand of terror: Gateway's Haunted Playhouse.
Each year brings new haunted themes, which often play on the theater's own history. Down dimly-let hallways and across moving floors might wait demented prop masters, deranged caretakers, or ushers who have no clue where the bathrooms are located. Audio and lighting effects add to the scares, as visitors get up close with actors decked out in high-quality makeup and costumes. The overall effect is that of an immersive play, and that unique professionalism has earned the Haunted Playhouse rave reviews and local awards.
