Brigantine Castle: Take II

[Hsmith1871]

They should bring it bk.. Lol :)

[suiwooie]

I remember these commercials when i was a kid. Unfortunately by the time I was old enough to go it burned down.

[evilunixuser1]

That headless lady is the bomb.

[tippybuddysmokey]

Fond memories!...TY

[UrbanLegendAtQVC]

Although I never went there, I REMEMBER this F*&^%$G commerical at 4 years old and how it SCARED THE LIVING SHIT out of me, especially the headless dummy grabbing the guy! OMYGOD  OMYGOD!

When I was about 7 or 8 I was ready to go, but it had closed down (or burned down?)

I worked up on the pier as a teen in the restaurant on the second floor. It was cool to see the actors out back of the Castle on lunch breaks or just hanging around.

@MIKExxDUDE For real? As an 11yo kid, I lived in AC for a few summers. I visited this place just once, but it's left an ever lasting impression on my mind. I remember I was being a smart ass & saying "This ain't scary! It's all fake, etc". 1 of the employees grabbed me & said "You, the cocky 1, Come with ME!". LOL! AC area, early 80's, VERY nostalgic to me. Best time in my life. I'd give anything to be 10 again & travel back to '81. Alas, it's impossible, but @ least I have my memories.

The Castle was Cool. The best part was when the Vampire jumped out of the portrait. as they were talking about the Castle when you first go in.

@stayshoobie

Dracula is one of my friends on facebook. I knew he was there and I was still scared when he jumped out. It was cool.

[stayshoobie]

@goforward  Cool. He was really the best part of the castle, at least for me anyway. It was a fun place back in the day

[Windsweptzariel]

When I was little I didn't have the guts to go in, but my cousin, who was my age(about 8 or 9)did. She was a bit braver. One of the actors reached out and touched her and instead of being scared, she simple turned around and said: "Don't touch the merchandise." That was funnier if you heard how she said it.

[RammaaJ]

Also driving up the road it always was surrounded by fog..was the erie'est thing..

[RammaaJ]

Geesh I remember every summer, my cousins would come down from Keansburg and the big thing was to go to the Brigantine Castle...Scared the heck outta us, we went every year..sometimes twice a year...just loved it!

[electricland]

I recall that place so well. It looked menacing from a distance. Going in was awesome, similar to Disney's Haunted Mansion entrance.

[phlip5150]

Awesome!!

[firefighter6539]

This was the most scariest haunted castle i was in when i was a kid.

Was awesome though.

Seemed like the more you got scared the more you wanted to go in.

It was a great attraction.

[phlip5150]

I wish somone would post a video of a walk through of the castle!!

[Eminem4851]

@phlip5150 you cant exactly get video of that. cameras were big then and u werent allowed to bring in cameras so u couldnt sneak it in

[phlip5150]

I always wanted to go there when I was a kid but my parent's wouldn't take me (I was 6) but I remember I used to grab the advertizment pamflets and just stare at the castle. I remember the commercials,  they're still awesome to see. Thanks

[sl1ppk3r]

thanks jerzee, but why did they take it down, i wish i was alive back then, seems like a very kool/fun/haunted place :]

[heysoc]

No it actually burned down several years ago.

[finnsox96]

it burned down

[sl1ppk3r]

dammit i wish they still had this :[ i would enjoy going there, what year did they have the castle and why did they take it down

[jerzeebook]

the castle was open in brigantine i believe from 1977 to 1984. When my parents took me there as a kid just seeing it gave me chills. I loved it !! I never went in the castle but just the memories from everyone talking about it was unbelievable.

[mondo270]

these commercials scared the living s*** out of me when I was a kid.

[SCOTTVARG11]

cool
