A place with so much potential that should be way cheaper. This place is fun! If you scare easily and still enjoy horror like I do, it is worth the visit. A great spooky date or night out with friends for the Halloween season. The actors are so interactive and into what they do that they make the experience worth it. The amount of houses, the time spent within them, the animatronics/decorations/props, watery $15 cocktails, and lack of organization do not justify the prices however. It should be a crime to charge people for only 3 houses- as it would never be worth the time traveling here. My boyfriend and I had a standard ticket with entry into all 6 houses plus a pass into the "secret" bars, yet still left way earlier than we expected. It was a Monday and maybe that explained the lack of actors, but there needed to be way more people in those houses. Some houses delayed opening and we were on line way past 7pm (the time on our tickets.) Use the bathroom in the arcade area, the porta potties are disgusting. I didn't see any actors around outside, so I don't know what those reviews are about. In order from best to last,
1. Uncle Needle's Funhouse of Fear 3D - scary! the mirror maze in beginning is epic! lots of laughing and scares! beginning rooms had corny decorations and props but still fun. actors in end were awesome. I was spookedddd. My favorite one.
2. Bayville Asylum- best actors here. the guy at entry paced everyone so well. I wasn't spoiled by anyone ahead and could take my time. super well organized by everyone involved. the rooms here had better props/decorations/etc in terms of horror and scare factor. The actors were super interactive. This one was so much fun.
3. Bloodworth Haunted Mansion- a classic haunted house with a gothic aesthetic. I love vampires so this was cool. There is a very weird part of this maze where you don't know where to go and it's kind of ehh... if ykyk. This one felt pretty long too.
4. The Cage- this is where it starts to go really wrong tbh. this was just a maze with not much to look at. I like the idea of it but poorly executed, could be a lot more. the walls were still designed better than the temple. poorly paced and crowded, people ahead and behind me. the bottom two have this huge issue as well. the actors in this were so scary and funny though. "You're not my friend, you're my victim!" LMAO. 10/10 acting from who was there, interactive, and scary- but still not enough actors present! Over with fast. We stopped at the bar halfway through, which we paid for in addition to our ticket, and still paid $15 a cocktail. I couldn't even tell there was liquor in mine. It tasted like pure juice and the vibes at the bar were atrocious. So dead and like no one wanted to be there. We left after one drink and never drank at any of the other secret bars because we didn't wanna waste our money further.
5. Temple of Terror- Wtf was this. Be so for real. This was so boring. Literally packed from person to person, we were moving like livestock. No one was getting scared. It was so dead, you couldn't see any of the animatronics. It was just walking through dark paneled walls? There was barely any actors but yet again, credit to the two that I did see that scared the living daylight out of me. Couldn't leave this one fast enough. I don't think anyone looked like they enjoyed this
6. Evil in the Woods Haunted Trail- I have no comment on this. The trail was so boring. Literally just walked through the dark, there was like no actors and when there was eventually, they did nothing but look at you. This was another one packed with bad pacing. Every group was moving fast because there was nothing to see but red lights and poorly dimmed ones. The bus was scary but over too quick. This was the one with the longest line so I expected more.
Shout out to the security guy at the exit of each one. He was the scariest part. Lol. Scared me so many times. He's the bomb.
All of the actors are fabulous and holding this place together. Great acting and so into it. Just not worth the ticket price and over way too soon. We ended up leaving way earlier than we imagined and just spent our money at Texas Roadhouse instead. Disappointed but still was scared and had fun, which I guess is the whole point! 3/5!
