Mike Krausert of Nightmare New England

LITCHFIELD — Mike Krausert has been building haunted houses for 23 of his 40 years. He was “lured” here from Wisconsin to devise Nightmare New England, which opened five years ago and affiliated with Spookyworld the next year. The Halloween-season destination in  this town features six haunted attractions and a Monster Midway. It closes Nov. 3 with a “Lights Out” session lighted only by glowsticks.
