The Valentine's was much better than the Halloween on. A must go if you want to to be scared. Don't waste your money at blood manor, nyc. Go to this one. read more

So we came here with high hopes. Major horror and halloween enthusiasts. Been to tons of escape rooms and plenty of haunted attractions. Spent $154 for 2 people and did the following: First off, we arrived 5 minutes early for a 6pm escape room appointment but were told we had to wait for other ppl to show up who were doing the room with us. meanwhile, a group of 6 arrived to do the tomb and were accommodated first, even though they arrived after us. So after waiting for 25 minutes (in the cold, with no seating), we were finally let in, even though no one else showed up. what a waste of my time! However, we were told that they wouldn't make us wait for the other 2 escape rooms we booked, so that was nice.(but guess what? they lied, and made us wait on line for every damn thing, and each time the girl would say yeah, i'll get you in without waiting and then she'd make us wait. plus, there was another group who arrived AFTER we did, who also did a bunch of escape rooms, so they were told they'd get a fast pass for the asylum as a courtesy, and when i asked about extending that same courtesy to us, she said no, she can't do that....meanwhile we waited for 25 minutes already for NO reason!) TIP to the company: professional companies accommodate their patrons and actually promptly start escape rooms and if you are late, you just have to join in late, wherever the others are up to at that point. that's how these things work. ROOM 1408 (0 stars) Horrible. Nothing makes sense bc it doesn't follow a coherent order. It's just random clues that have nothing to do with each other and you would't know what to do unless you were told what to do bc they don't follow each other in a way that makes sense. there are no riddles or puzzles. nothing really challenging where you use brain power. it's literally just luck. how stupid. the only part of this activity that was fun was the last 5 minutes. also, their devices don't function properly... so i'd ask for a clue, only to find out i already did that and it just didn't work. it's also very difficult to hear any clues being given or anything within the escape room that you need to hear bc the set up is like an open stage set at a studio so there are no ceilings and all of the other escape rooms are simultaneously going on, so you can hear literally everything: the clues for you and other ppl, other ppl laughing and talking, sound effects from other rooms, etc. Also, the rooms themselves give you nothing to work with. it's literally only one clue per room. so boring and not challenging, just frustrating, thinking what the hell did i spend my money on? BOMB SQUAD (0 stars) this was our first 5 minute escape room. prior to this, we've only done 1 hr escape rooms. only $5 online so thought why not? well... yet again, there's no way you can figure this out unless they tell u specifically what to do and even then there's stuff you'll miss. we had no idea what was going on or where to even begin and then before we even had a chance to fully assess the situation...boom! times up! THE DEVICE (1 star) the star was given here bc we thought the lady who brought us to this room was very professional, thorough and concise. (previous lady talked a lot about nothing and was like a fake nice) also bc we love Saw... which is what caught my attention about this escape room to begin with online. this was relatively easy to solve, but that's also bc they pretty much told us what to do, so where's the fun in that? ASYLUM/TUNNEL (4 stars) this is the only thing worth seeing here. the tunnel was cool, i wasn't expecting that. i had already been to a different venue that does this so it was pretty much the same. however, they put u in groups of 5, with strangers...don't like that, i wanna experience it alone--like just with my ppl, other ppl may ruin the experience for me... and you only get 2 guns. what a rip off--- each person should get a gun. plus only one gun has a light so the rest of the group is literally in the dark and can't see a thing. so all 5 people pay the same price but the people with the guns have a different experience. unfair. Then the asylum was a typical haunted house. good actors and props. beware you may trip, there are some small steps that you can't see. we enjoyed this. the asylum was the best part. also, the actors on the waiting lines were also great. props to them! The addition of escape rooms was a smart idea since it's been very popular lately. However, perhaps they should've attended a room or 2 themselves first, bc they clearly have NO IDEA what the hell they're doing! Very unfortunate bc this could be a big money maker for them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! (on the escape rooms) We completed our "fun filled" evening at 930. so 3.5 hrs, and about 90 minutes was spent actually doing something. that means 2 hrs of waiting, mostly for crappy experiences. we travelled 2 hrs to get there, so i doubt we'll ever go back but if we do, we'd only go for the asylum/tunnel... read more

By far the greatest haunted walk through I've ever done and it was the Valentine's Day one... could only imagine what it's like during Halloween. Actors, decorations/theme and staff were phenomenal! Everything was amazing. Highly recommend! Sue is the real MVP!!! read more

Even the line for this place is creepy. You don't even mind the wait, with the ghouls brushing up next to you and whispering their creepy thoughts. Although it is efficiently run, get the fast track tickets if you can. It's completely scary inside. You never know what lurks in the shadows, behind a wall, around a corner. I recall screaming - a lot. Chivalry is dead in this place. Our bud was asked if he wanted to go first, but he asked his wife to. He was petrified. We all were. A great way to celebrate the season. We were worn out after the event from our heart racing. I'd do it again. I rate this 100 scary monsters. Go! read more

I loved this place. I was definitely scared and even my boyfriend who usually laughs when he goes to haunted houses with me was jumping and genuinely scared. It is definitely a must go this Halloween. Everyone who works there is really nice and honestly the line is long but you don't really feel it, at least I didnt. I will definitely be checking out their other events. read more

I honestly didn't have high expectations for this haunted house. Maybe I was spoiled because I just came from Eastern State Penitentiary. Anyways it wasn't that bad! I was really impressed with the scenery. I thought there could have been a few more actors and more interactive. I am curious how contact night would be. read more

This was my first time here. We just left and let me tell you it was amazing. The actors are truly committed to scaring you. Rich did an incredible job. It takes about 20-30 min depending on how fast you walk.There were moments where I thought I was going to pee in my pants and cry. A couple times I thought I wasn't going to make it. Some of the scenes in there are just pure genius. Get there early to avoid the long lines or pay extra for the fast track tickets. Either way it's worth it. The parking lot has room for a lot of cars and they have people directing you where to go. While you're waiting on line they have actors scaring you too!! You have to check this place out!! read more

I lost my voice this place is insane!! I got really scared out of my mind. However I wasn't really happy with the price I had to pay ($40).. Pricey in my opinion..Which I prob wouldn't have paid if the lines weren't two hours long.. ( kinda felt forced to pay the forty or stand in the cold and get sick and pay 20) I wish lines were shorter and I could have paid the regular price.. read more

Purely from a line stand point. It's chaos. Haven't moved in an hour. Highly disorganized. Mixed information causing clusters of madness. Want to turn around and leave but the no refund screwed us. UPDATE: I added two stars because The attraction itself is elaborate and fun. A lot of the typical expected scare tactics but they work. However, reservation lists only cause more frustration when you still have to wait 2+ hours in 37 degrees with no line entertainment and poor communication from employees. We constantly heard, "I THINK you wait in this line." No megaphones and information being told to the first person in line trickling back and becoming misconstrued led to a trampling of line tape and a two line merge that put some people even further back. Recommendations for the family who owns the business...do not do online reservation lists, customers all around were so angry and no line regulators caused tons of "late" reservation patrons trying to cut the line resulting in several arguments. Also, sell hot beverages! Push a cart down the line and make a ton of extra revenue on freezing cold nights. You would have made a killing! Provide some entertainment! Project a scary movie or something on the side of the building. Put zombies in the parking lot. And tell your staff to know their stuff and communicate better. read more

Where to begin!! My boyfriend & I went here looking for some screams & scares.When we arrived the general admission line wrapped around the building,so we went ahead & purchased the fast pass.Only waited about 15 min till we got to go in.Once inside we realized how it wasn't worth the $40 each that we paid..People were on top of each other,completely ruining the whole thing for the rest of us.Due to the fact that everyone was so close to each other the actors had no time to hide & scare us..Never again are we returning to this place.It was s complete waste of time & money. Very disappointed!!! read more

Excellent time! The wait times were pretty good considering it's Halloween weekend too. Even then, they try to keep you entertained while waiting with live music, actors roaming around, etc. Definitely worth it. read more

Awesome experience. Went to the contact and got abducted! Only downside is the wait. Definitely recommend anyone to go at least once!

It was ok not as everyone makes it seem or how it seems on the internet it was very expensive too general admission is gonna run you $40 to be honest it isn't worth $40 maybe $25 but definitely not $40 the main reason they also have good reviews is because they tell you at the end give a 5 star rating for a free escape room so that why they have a lot of 5 star rating but don't let it fool you it's alright as I said some people are hidden and well hidden but most could spot out the obvious this was my very first experience and first time in it but as I said it was ok nothing great don't expect it to be the crazy scariest haunted house ever even as my first time it was easy to see who would scare you and know exactly when they would the one thing I'll give it is nice an lengthy but as I said it was not that scary if I was you and you wanted to give it a try and think about going just remember the cheapest ticket is $40 cause I'm assuming your not gonna be bringing 20 people of a group you could give it a try if you please but I'm warning you now don't expect it to be scariest thing in your life and don't expect it to be the best as it was my very first time to If really wanna be scared and wanna almost crap your pants I wouldn't waste my money but if you just want it for experience give it a shot but just like I said don't expect it to be the best haunted house ever its ok I would give it a 2.5 out of 5 stars cause like I said it's ok but it's not as scary as it may seem and it's quite expensive to not be scared for $40 you would think damn I'm gonna shit my pants but your not really some parts might be a pop scare but not as you may think it might seem also if you think it may be as clean as they say it is it isn't my hands became really dirty and I haven't touched anything and also the escape room they said they keep it clean and maintained I took the easiest escape room and the main item was broken it has a piece chipped off also it was very hard to find staff is great but place isn't it was dirty and a lot of things were broken you would think paying so much money and each customer paying the same amount as you it would be a great place it's ok not as great as it may seem or the owner may make it seem now you could either believe me from my experience or believe the owner word someone who just wants you to go to take your hard earned money and make it he's like I said earlier they ask people to give 5 star rating to get a free escape room don't be fooled read more

1st, the website gives you all the wrong rules. one of the main ones was 4 people per group. they're was groups of 10,7, and like 25. the outside was very confusing and the workers outside "directing" the crowds had attitudes. General admission line was SUPER long we bought the fast pass and found our line after 5 min. we pretty much waited like 1 min in line and went right in. they didn't have much scary people walking around scaring others, just a few. it seemed like they were so tired of scaring people all day, they didn't have much energy. at the end of the day, we all felt like some parts where missing like we didn't go thru the whole thing. read more

Wow did they amp up from last year. And last year was awesome! Went last night and man was it incredible! Plus the new escape rooms are insane!!! The entire experience was awesome. I can't wait for contact night for twice the fun!!! read more

I will start off by saying the parking sucks they make you park on top of each other and it's in the outskirts of the ghetto so the roads are really beat up . If you have a nice car leave it at home. The building is pretty creative it's an expired factory.While waiting in line they have a few good actors in character picking on anyone who looks scared . If you get there a few minutes early don't buy the upgrade pass it's a waste . They only allow 4 in at a time so keep this in mind before you leave. The props and costumes were nicely done. I was hoping to see something a little more different then the predictable actor jump out from behind a corner or playing dead blending in from the props. I have seen this done time and time again at other attractions in NJ without name dropping the competition even though it may make you jump it gets pretty old.Would I go back,possibly to check out the Xmas or Valentines edition how creative they are . read more

The haunted house: I thought the lines were way too long for a haunted house that was so boring. I don't mind waiting 3+ hours if the attraction is great but knowing what I know now, I would have skipped this place altogether. We did a standard pass. We went Saturday 10/17/2015 a no contact night. Our friends were in line from 8:00 PM and were still towards the middle of the long line that was the 9:00PM time slot. We waited until 10:30 to finally get into the haunted house. The spacing we experienced was ok but we still missed a lot of the scares because the characters were still trying to get back to their spots or just missing?? The walkthrough seemed lackluster. It was pretty obvious where a character could attempt to scare us, as there are a lot of wall cut outs. In my opinion it lacked creativity when trying to produce a scare. The decorations seemed like they used a lot of random things hanging from the ceiling instead of working on really staging the haunted house but they did have a few unique rooms when reviewing the rooms. There are 3 pretty cool and probably expensive larger scare items but it was not worth the $25 and the hour and a half wait time that I went through. Also the rooms have open ceiling so you hear everything going on in other areas and it made the rooms we were walking through less suspenseful since the noise was so distracting. Most of the actors just have makeup on . Not many have latex or more creative textured paint/masks. Escape room: The MP3 player didn't work and we tried to communicate it to the actor. They just directed us back to the handwritten directions, which we tried to follow for over a min. which was mission critical when only having 4 mins to solve the puzzle. We walked out feeling cheated as they didn't take our feedback seriously. In my overall opinion, this place just doesn't cut it. Highly disappointed after all the hype. read more

This was not worth the $$$ at all. I purchased tickets for the 9 pm time slot along with 12 other friends. We were in line for over 20 mins just in the parking lot to be directed on where to park. Once we parked, we stood in line to get in the attraction for over 2 1/2 hours in the freezing cold. We arrived at 8:30 with our pre-paid tickets for the 9 pm show and did not get let in until after 11pm and we were freezing cold. The escape room was after the main attraction and their MP3 player wasn't even working to give us all the clues to get out so that was a waste of $$ as well. The asylum was just an old warehouse with a bunch of props and bad actors in bad makeup. Way overpriced, poorly run, long waits for nothing and dirty. read more

Santa's slay was AMAZING!!!! I am a huge fan of horror and have been to almost every haunted house in the tri state area. When i heard they did a Christmas themed haunted house I couldn't wait to go. The set work, props, costumes, and actors were so damn good. It even started off with a live action zombie kill game. The prop guns were heavy and realistic. It was so fun. Then you got a picture with undead santa and continued on without the prop guns through the rest. You had the choice of being touched or not by the actors. Of course we wore the glow necklace to be touched. I never get scared during haunted houses, I just really enjoy them, but I actually got scared during this one! There was even a bone ball pit, a slide, and krampus chases you out with a chainsaw! I'm going back next weekend!!! read more

We purchased our tickets online, and we weren't expecting such a long wait. The line was REALLY long, we were waiting a little over two house outside in the line. But once we got in it was really good! It was really scary and the setup was really good! The only thing I'd suggest is making two lines for people who buy their tickets online and people who buy their tickets there, and also spacing people out a little more. I would've been scared with the chainsaw at the end but the people in front of us were too close and we already knew it was coming read more

Went to this place last night and it was AWESOME!! This easily one of the best haunts I have ever been to. The actors were amazing and I loved how interactive it was. I won't give too much away, but you have to be ready to duck, crawl, and slide. The night I went instead of the tunnels it was a zombie night where two people in your group got a gun and you had to shoot zombies. This place is not for the faint of heart, there is a lot of gory realistic looking corpses. It also has really scary stuff in it. Overall, one of the best haunts I have ever been to. read more

I loved Brighton Asylum!!! Tonight was my first time but it definitely won't be my last. In the beginning of it, they give you guns where you have to shoot zombies as you spot them throughout the house. Then the second part of the asylum is amazing! Great scares, great props, great animatronics, and a lot of awesome surprises. I can't wait till next year! read more

Went last night and enjoyed all the props they had including all the different room scenes and moving floors. The actors were pretty scary too. Theres some steps and stairs that you may not see (since its dark) a suggestion is to perhaps put down some lighting on it. However, there was 1 thing they definitely could do away with... the slide. I was thinking it was going to be a long slide that either a) made you slide into a ball pit or b) somehow stopped you at the end of it. Instead I ended up sliding out pretty quick and busting my butt on the floor. *high five* to the creepy guy with the electric saw for helping me up though. Overall, it was pretty cool and as a Halloween junkie it satisfied my thirst this year lol. read more

Okay so I never ever leave yelp reviews but when a place scams people I feel it is my duty to warn everyone. Scenario: 4 people hand the ticket booth attendant $220 for 4 tickets. The lady at the ticket booth is insisting that they only gave her $120, there was $100 bill "missing." The people buying the tickets are so sure they gave her $220 they go through the trouble of calling the police, filing a report, asking if there are cameras so they can review the footage (a question which got conflicting answers from security guards) one said yes and the other said no. Simple question...do you have security cameras...yes or no? The police come, they just ask if the ticket area can be searched for $100 bill, they say no and they say that nobody paid with $100 bill all evening, which for a place with $50 tickets I find hard to believe. They end up having security escort these people out and do not even refund the money to the friend who bought her ticket on her own in an entirely different transaction. Do you really think anyone would go through all of this trouble, get the police involved, file a report etc to get into some lame haunted house for less money? Why would anyone do that? More likely...they scammed these people for $100 and these "kids" that they scammed put up a lot more of a fight then they were expecting. Moral of the story DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I've been to alot of better places the line here was super long even though we got there an hour early we still waited 2hrs in the cold.The scares were for young kids I feel cheated!! I go ever year to a good haunted attraction I always do my research n I dont get how its listed as best haunted attraction!!! Very disappointed Now I have to wait till next year & go to a better place !!! read more

Had a great time tonight!!! Definitely worth it!! We laughed, we screamed!! I even watched as my friend was dragged away into another room! I would definitely go back! read more

I look forward to going to this haunted house every year for Halloween ! However this year I was a little disappointed . There were barely any actors outside entertaining the crowd . I felt that I didn't see many actors inside the attraction . What also had me very confused was the tunnel . The attraction felt just as long as any other year I went to it . The website made it seem like you were getting two attractions for the price of one . I still feel I didn't go through any tunnel. The man stated something about an elevator . I didn't see any elevator that brought me to any tunnel . I gave it 4 stars for the previous years . I did enjoy it this year however I just thought I was expecting more . read more

Went there with a few friends last night and had an absolute blast! The haunt was insane and the escape rooms were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!!!!!!! read more

We go to haunted attractions throughout the Tri-State area. Brighton once again this year went all out! Awesome, professional quality sets and actors they really put a lot of attention to the detail in this haunt. We went with a group of 15 and split into groups of 5 had such a blast! great makeup & a few surprises that you won't see at any other haunt. Go and find out for yourself! read more

This was the most corniest haunted house I have been too. It took forever to get in and the experience was very short. For the price I paid. I expected more. Not happy at all. read more

Very well done and lots of fun, the actors are fantastic they're in your face. They make it a great experience!

Very disappointed in Brighton Asylum this halloween season. Every year I go during Halloween and the other ones they have during the year. Always happy when I leave! I went last night, October 14, 2017 and let's just say happy was not the word.. I brought my tickets for the 11pm time slot online. My boyfriend and I showed up a half hour early to stand in line. In two hours on standing there and waiting, we moved 15 feet up in line!!! It was ridiculous! The line was not moving at all. At that point I went to see if I could upgrade my ticket to a fast pass, now being past 12am and they were charging more money then it was originally! No way, and I'm happy I didn't spend extra. Finally we entered the first attraction, "tunnel" at 1:25am. Very disappointing. There were very few actors jumping out and it was very dark so you couldn't see much. Got out, went right in the next attraction "Brighton Asylum" again, not many actors jumping out, it was very dark and one thing that actually did scare me was there were a lot of stairs that you can't see throughout the house because it's too dark so be careful where you're walking!!!! I travel all over to different states every year for these attractions and I was always happy there was a close one near me, but this halloween I was very disappointed. Most aggravating thing is I had 11pm time slot, got there at 10:30 on the line and didn't leave till 2am.. so clearly the time slots don't matter. read more

My friends and I drove 4 hours from Baltimore MD to Brighton Asylum to stand in an unorganized, cluster hell of a line for an hour an half with no one to direct us or keep anyone is order. After waiting for about an hour we noticed groups of people who just arrived jumping in lines and merging with other people. We still didn't see anyone directing them or telling them to go to the end of the line because there was no security for the line. We complained multiple times about everything they settled it for about 5 seconds then it went back to being a zoo. The manager there is incompetent and has not a clue what he is doing in the slightest. A couple security guards did not care at all what you had to say. They let groups of people go to the front of the line to shut them up. It was a horrible experience out side of the Asylum. Security guards can't tell there left hand from there right hand that's for sure. But the attraction inside was pretty cool. Very creepy and scary. The actors do a pretty incredible job. read more

My friends and I live an hour away from this haunt and we still made the drive last year to go due to the great reviews online. We really loved how they had actors dressed up to walk around while you wait in line and they even hung by the bathrooms ! ( thanks for providing bathrooms too Brighton asylum that was smart and I'm thankful for that ) but it created more fun to the waiting process because it was a long line.. The haunt was very creative with different areas, the only downside that happened with my group was loosing a friend who ran out by accident because their was an area that wasn't closed off that people were accidentally exiting too early before the full haunt was over so we ended up loosing her for the rest of the way.. I'm sure they fixed that though for this year as we did mention it to the owner who was so sorry and gracious to her about it! That was appreciated greatly. The reason why I'm giving 4 and not 5 stars is the time length of this haunt was not very long...I wouldn't mind waiting even longer if the haunt was longer because we did make a long trip up there for it to end so quickly, looking forward to 2015 new changes to this haunt! read more

pretty good overall. we went on lights out night, where its pretty dark and all you have is one glow stick per group. about 30 minutes to go through, a few roaming actors outside to entertain the line. ive worked at one of these places and i could tell there was tons of effort and thought into each scare. fun was 9/10, scare factor was 8/10. the only few things i didnt like was how the group size is a minimum of 5 people, so my party of 2 was grouped with a party of 3 strangers, but i understand why it was done. its a pretty popular/busy place and we went on a busier night, so they need to get everyone going through. if it was split up, there would be more wait time and we'd catch up to one another. our group did in fact catch up to the one in front of us more than halfway through, and the one behind us caught up to us. this sort of hindered the experience because we could see the next scare happen and knew what to expect. overall a great experience read more
