The actors were really good and make a solid effort to make it worth your while. It is kind of short so skip paying for the VIP ticket - it'll feel like a slight rip off. We paid for regular tickets - 20 bucks for both haunted houses. There were no lines on a Sunday night - glad we skipped paying for "VIP."

Was a bit hard to find, but the logo and spooky faces on the wall, line outside and lights out front made it obvious. Glad they are back after not being around in 2024!

Located at the Moreland Pumpkin Patch next to Easterbrook Discovery School in SJ, we attended the…read morescary version of Grimm's Hollow: The Oubliette. The ticket purchase process for the "scary hour" was far from ideal. Only same day puchases, with very specific sales times?!? Soooo inconvenient!!! ..... But in the end, it was worth it. The attraction itself was better than expected. The props were pretty amazing, lots of great sets, and the actors were beyond frightening. You'll come face to face with the creatures of your scariest nightmares brought to life, and chased slowly through this "maze of madness"... and when they say "maze," they really mean it. Beware, if you get lost in this freak circus, you will not be able to stop screaming. Once you escape one monster, there's already another one creeping up on you. I certainly lost my voice, and that was just our first haunt of the night. This isn't highly advertised like some other haunts in the south bay, and buying tickets feels unnecessarily complicated, but don't be fooled by its cryptic nature or the family-friendly atmosphere (cute outdoor setup with kids' activities, carnival snacks, even a screen showing movies)... This haunt is SCARY, and fun at the same time, definitely top value for what you get (and I've been to a LOT of haunted houses over the years to compare it to). Well done!

The bar downstairs is ridiculously expensive at around $12 for a small glass of liquor with lots of ice, of $7 for a bottle of water. Restrooms are open to anyone and mon gendered so be mindful when you're at the urinal because women can and will be behind you at the sink washing their hands. The decorations look like something out of Hobby Lobby meets Dollar Tree. Oh with a lot of cheap flat screens everywhere. The actors reminded me of everyone in my High School acting club. Good try, lots of passion, but not scary. Especially when I've been to both Universal Studios Florida and LA. Groups are about 10 people and our group had a lot of scaredy cats. You can pay extra for these red glow necklaces that make actors choose you or try extra hard to scare you. Turns out some people in our group are scared easily even though they were posing as tough with their necklaces LOL So the theme this year 2025 is good witches against bad witches who are turning humans into rats and zombies. Ummm. .okay. I found the whole thing comical and give this place 3.5 stars. Wish they would spend more time and money on the decorations, tone down the overacting and screaming, and get a better plot line. Crystals that change color, and finding those crystals seem less than scary if you ask me. This would be a 4 star haunted house if you're like 12 years old.

October 2025…read more... Another Halloween season of driving from Sacramento all the way to San Jose to experience Bernal Scream again! We're pretty dedicated fans of this Haunt and they never disappoint! The props are really well executed. Actors stay in character and really perform in a way that is curated well. Security measures are present and it always feels like a safe environment despite the screams and fun. I enjoyed 2024' location, I enjoyed 2025' location... I have one gripe that..... might give away one of the areas during the walk-thru experience.... For 2025... It was held at the fairgrounds and you get your tickets, walk inside to the lined waiting areas and wait to be called for entry. Once we entered the haunt, just the 2 of us, it was a series of different rooms to walk thru, experience the "theme" of each area, actors are spread out within the venue for that extra scare... One of my hesitations with any haunt.... it's not the actors, props, setups, or darkness...... it's usually having to face the unknown of what might be a scare presented as a phobia. For 2025, there was an area that had from what I could see.... like plastic prop style snakes, and that's a real phobia for people. Obviously, this is my issue to deal with personally, but it would be nice to not encounter a snake effect during haunts. That room scared me the most, and although I knew logically they weren't real, it's a real phobia, a real scare, and an elevated heart rate that I didn't want to experience. We will continue to support and enjoy Bernal! The team does amazing work! But please..... if reading this, take that into consideration. Other than that..... thank you for offering another great year of scares!

Tour groups are TOO LARGE! they pack over two dozen people into tiny rooms with the people breathing down your neck. Price of the tour is TOO EXPENSIVE: if the groups were smaller so the experience wasn't so rushed and crowded, I would accept the high price. But to charge this amount and then jam you into a too-crowded tour group is simply price-gouging at the expensive of the customer. Really takes away from the positive feeling of the experience. If it weren't for the great guides (maybe I just go a good one?), I don't think this place would do very well on its own. . ..

Signed on for the optional self guided attic and basement tour and I'm so happy I did. Got to speak with a guy named JT who works there and he was so full of knowledge regarding Sarah and the house. He really gave such a new perspective to the designs I had never thought of before. I understand the tour guides have a script and they like to lean into the paranormal but Sarah is such a character, just like her house. It almost felt disrespectful walking through and hearing they had 'ghost' noises playing in part of the basement. This woman was highly intelligent and did so many great things just to be painted as a crazy woman. Winchester needs to do better. Major shout out to JT, if he ran that place I just know it would be spectacular.

I mean, there were literally residents shuttling people in golf carts because parking was at a premium for the entire town. The haunt is kinda in the middle of it all.... they spaced everyone out, which makes me happy because I'm able to enjoy the haunt without others screaming, pushing, or stopping inside. It was like 20 dollars per person, very affordable, and well staffed! We actually did get scared several times... And the props were amazing!! We will definitely return next year if it's active again!

The entire park looks reminiscent of a wannabe Disneyland. I know some are crying over the loss of Halloween Haunt but this is probably more of a moneymaker for Great America and by the size of the crowds they are doing well this season. Trick or Treating Halloween Themed Shows Halloween Themed Sweets Halloween Activities There are four areas of the park Patch Place Ickyville Sweet Tooth Acres Everfall Most of the popular roller coaster rides are operating during this special event. The lines for the trick or treating are long but lots of kids and their families are having fun. You see many families with their young children up to teens enjoying the park. I love the addition of the bonfires with seats around- such a great addition to the park on the chilly evenings. We have Gold Season Passes and have enjoyed Great America's Tricks and Treats. The park has been quite packed both during the day and night. I look forward to seeing how amazing Winterfest will be this year since the Great America's Tricks and Treats has been so fantastic. Noelle's Notes Great event for families. Amazing options for foods- sweet and savory. Love, love, love the Bonfire seating- so EPIC!!!

A pro tip: consider ubering or parking early in the day since the parking line for haunt gets so so long (1hr at 8 pm) Tooth fairy was my favorite by far
