Our History

From the mind of a madman……

Fright Night Mansion is the brainchild of founder Mark Purcell. But at an early age by the “mansion” bug with the Auburn Jaycees, Mark crafted the idea in his basement lair with the help of his friends. Frustrated that Auburn lacked a proper haunted house, Mark took his love for the horror genre and began building the very first Fright Night Mansion in his back yard on Case Avenue in Auburn NY. Meant to be a “neighborhood” attraction, the first Fright Night Mansion was an early success. Encouraged by the turnout and an army of new and eager mansioneers, the Fright Night crew moved their operation to the Fingerlakes Mall. Costing only $1 for admission in 1988, Fright Night drew a crowd of over 6000 patrons ready to be scared. It was a raging success, and the stage was set. For 30 years Fright Night has been providing Cayuga County and beyond with high quality entertainment every Halloween season. With hundreds of volunteer hours being given to build what has been called the scariest haunted attraction in central NY.

Over the Years we have grown and learned. As of 2023 we are now a 501c3 and we changed the name to APE Scare and Care Ince because we are getting to doing other events not just the haunted house. We plan to do the haunted house every year as a fund-raiser. Now we are Hosting other events like a Holiday Experience which is a Christmas Walkthrough and Random Encounters Which is a Dungeons and Dragons Experience. We are always looking to do and Help with new ideas to help our Community.
