Atmosphere was nice . Parking was good. Easy to find. This is more of a beginner/ kids kinda haunted hayride. There is a story teller in the hayride which is nice and interactive for the audience in the tractor. Wish that they had a little more scary like chainsaw noise, light up the dead bodies with a red or colored light to set the mood to make it more visible and creepy. Just needs a little more tweaking but it is still fun and entertaining for a one time event.

Each year, they change the theme and characters out so you never get the same experience twice! I liked this year's experience because I went earlier in the season & the house wasn't too crowded. I know some seasons were packed like sardines, so just try to plan for days that would have less of a rush! They also have a zombie shootout attraction this year with live zombie actors, try it out for a real thrill!

My husband and I are constantly on a quest for a really good scare and I will say that I got a few jumps at this haunted house.

Terror Mansion is primarily a commercial haunted house and if you don't find it scary, you may need to verify that you have a pulse. Multiple rooms (their Web site says 23, but I honestly wasn't counting) keep you on edge the whole time. There's no rise and fall in intensity -- it's intense from beginning to end. Winding, confusing and noisy...it messes with your senses in nearly every possible way. But that's not my forte. Even the best commercial haunted houses aren't for me (even though I do subject myself to them every now and then). The best part of Terror Mansion is the "After Hours Ghost Tour." When she bought it, the owner did not know the building was truly haunted. It was only after multiple, strange occurrences that she started to investigate the history of the building and the area. I won't spoil the fun, but there are quite a few stories and photos that just couldn't be coincidences. Full body apparitions and phantom phone calls are just the beginning. Go for the thrills, but stay for the chills. You won't be disappointed.

The only thing scary about this place is how lame it is! Last year, I bought the Living Social deal…read morefor Terror Mansion thinking it would be cool. I was new to San Antonio at the time and did not know any better. After driving around for some time because the place was so hard to find, we get to the mansion and wait in line for about 30 minutes or so. The building itself looked like a regular building with little to no decorations to make it look creepy or haunted. Once inside, I was immediately disappointed. All of the actors looked like teenagers in their street clothes with some rubber masks on. They came up to you and literally just said, "boo." My boyfriend and I were just walking through rather than running and screaming because that is how NOT scary, suspenseful, creepy, it was. At one point, my boyfriend and I are trying to find the exit and I ask him how we get out to which one of the actors walks up and says in a regular, cheerful, non-scary voice, "oh, just walk down the hall and to the left." I have been to countless other haunted houses, House of Torment being my favorite and maybe that is why I found Terror Mansion to be so disappointing but this place was on par with your high school haunted house. The actors did not stay in character, the production was cheap, and the whole experience lasted maybe 5 minutes. It should have cost no more than 5$ for what you get. If you are a parent and you want to take your child to a haunted house that will not leave them terrified then this may be for you. If you like to be scared and want to have a genuinely creepy time and get your money's worth, then DO NOT go to Terror Mansion. For a little more money you can go to House of Torment or the 13th Floor in San Antonio and get a real scare.

My boo and I (no pun intended), freaked out from the ghastly cost of $70 for two people. The whole maze or psycho asylum house was a quick 20 minute run through that featured almost the same things in each areas. Nothing different, and a whole lot of darkness. It was fun but not worth the cost since it didn't offer enough scares to make it worthwhile.

We arrived a bit before 7:30, the opening time, so we were some of the first people in line. Nevertheless, it seemed to take forever for us to be shown in because they did not start letting people in until a bit after 7:30 and they were pretty slow letting people in after that. Unlike other haunted houses that I have been to, there were no characters or actors creeping around outside to spook you, so it was a pretty long and boring wait. Before we made it in, I read up on the history of the building itself, since it really was an asylum back in the 70s/80s, and honestly the history is the scariest part of the building because some pretty creepy stuff happened there. When we were about to go inside, we learned that it was a "total blackout" night, meaning that all the lights would be turned off. We were handed glow sticks so that we could find our way through (really probably so the actors inside could see us coming). We finally go inside and I am feeling pretty spooked from the anticipation. The first couple of rooms are elaborately decorated, but really nothing is too scary. As we walked through the entire house, it was sometimes hard to see the decorations themselves since the lights were off, so that may have taken away from the experience. There were only 4 or 5 actors hidden throughout the duration of the haunted house and they did the classic surprise scare tactic, but didn't really say or do anything that was too scary. The actors, however, were mostly just regular people in regular clothes with some face paint. I was honestly expecting them to wear costumes and have more of a character than just general scary person. There were some features inside that I had not experienced in other haunted houses, like the blow up walls and the big loud gusts and wind. Overall, I got a little spooked and I had a fun time, but it would probably not have been worth it. I'm not sad I went, but I wouldnt want to pay full price and I don't think I would go back.

We spent the night at the Magnolia Hotel and found the accommodations to be very comfortable and…read morewell appointed, filled with interesting pictures, reference materials, and simply drenched with history. The hosts clearly put a lot of effort into restoring the upstairs living area, as it is clean and inviting without losing any of the appeal of the history of the 200 year old hotel. The floors, ceiling, and doors are beautiful and appear to be restored, original elements from long ago. As far as modern stuff, the AC cranks, the mini kitchen is efficient and nicely stocked, and the bathroom is modern, clean, and has a cool shower. Lastly, I am generally a skeptic when it comes to anything paranormal, but try to keep an open mind. Over the course of the night, my wife and I encountered several odd little incidents that led me to believe that the place may very well be haunted. My wife heard children playing at 3 am, saw an orbish shadow drift across the bedroom transom, and heard a grocery bag rustle loudly during the night. I saw shadowy movements at the edges of my eyesight several times, and heard some weird, unidentifiable noises. Never felt anything negative, though, so these must be some of the nice entities that are said to dwell with the hotel. If you love a little spooky, a whole lot of history, and a pleasant and comfortable stay, the Magnolia Hotel is for you.

The lines move pretty quick so get the regular entry! At HOUSE OF TORMENT you're paying almost the same for unlimited walk through. For the prices to be as steep as they are, and this being in BUDA I'd expect it to be cheaper. The coffee stand also sucks- don't even try. The DJ was cool, songs weren't giving scary vibes.
