Surprised by the haunted house here I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually quite long. I…read morewas longer than I expected to be, which was great because I felt like I was definitely getting my moneys worth a haunted hayride was also pretty good too. I feel like it was a little bit less scarier than what the haunted house was but if you're going with a family, I thought that it was the right amount to scare for a family so I definitely recommend doing both of them if you can Only reason why I didn't give it. Five stories was because I felt like the actual haunted house didn't necessarily have a theme going on throughout the house. I felt like it was a bunch of different themes that were strong together, which was fine, but I felt like if there was one thing that was consistent throughout the haunted house it would've been more of an experience, but overall, I felt like it was pretty decent

I am an avid Halloween Haunt enthusiat. Every year my Buddy and I select a place to enjoy the sets,…read morethe scares and have a blast. This year we selected Hotel of Horror in PA. The YouTube videos looked great and tickets were purchased. After our pre-haunt meal we arrived. The place was lit up nicely, creepy music playing. The actor who gave the instructions was on point, he was creepy, funny and into the festivities that awaited us. So this is by no means a bad review, however, there was just not enough actors to deliver scares. The sets were fantastic, using all the standard fare that all the great places use. That being said, again, just not enough actors within the haunt. We walked through several scenes without seeing an actor. For the price of the tickets (which are on par with much larger places like Penhurst Asylum and East State Penitentiary) Hotel of Horror just does not stack up with the big boys. Would we return? Probably not, for the money, would most likely return to one of the big boys!!!

If your ready for fall time and you would like to get scared and spooky just before Halloween ,…read morethis is the place that will satisfy your needs. Great place to go with your friend. The Hotel of Horror and Altered Nightmares are both indoor, walk through Haunted House attractions featuring live actors and paranormal activity housed in the 200 year old "abandoned " Pocono Mountain resort once called The Lake House Hotel, Saylorsburg, Pa. Open rain or shine with a covered wait line and free parking. Don't let the weather scare you. That's our job! Our revamped ticketing process gives you less time in line and more time in the attraction. The Hotel of Horror and Altered Nightmares Halloween Attractions are both housed inside the legendary Lake House Hotel intertwined and breathing next to one another, sharing organs and a circulatory system like conjoined twins. The sinister subconscious of the Hotel of Horror feeds off the dark energy that stains the lumber skeleton of this once pristine mountain resort, while Altered Nightmares celebrates the chaos that grows stronger as each soul travels through its decaying halls and abandoned rooms. They are open the end of September until the end of October!!

This place is ridiculous. 10/10. Without spoiling too much, I will definitely say ... do the blood…read moreexperience! You get a cool tie dye shirt at the end. The actors bring you into their scene and leave their mark on you as you pass through. Lots of cool effects from fog, to lighting, scents and sounds. And of course, confusion. Not to say that you'll get lost, but they do add to the anxiety by making it somewhat difficult to maneuver. Their static props are incredibly well made. They'll have your entire group staring at the wrong thing. The scare actors did a really great job with our group. They took their time. My shirt came out the coolest because I got a dahlia smile. If you are worried about touching: The actors will touch your head, arms/hands, back and lower legs/feet. Rough grab, nothing firmer than you would a toddler to prevent running. If you are worried about it being too much: THEY HAVE A STOP WORD. Ask before you go in. Come with the intention of having fun and playing the scene with the actors. You will have lots of fun.

These events change often so I want to point out this was a 2017 visit…read more Halls of Horror is an adult haunt where you can choose the blood experience and get messy!  We did of course (and you get VERY messy).  The haunt is highly interactive and the adult humor is hysterical! There's lots of touching - at one point we encountered a large gentleman in a dress where his boobs were hanging out and we were made to feel them.  After that he tickled me.  We also got to feel a clown's balls (What? She had a room full of balls).  My friend sat down for a shave, where they covered his face in shaving cream.  We were also basted in the kitchen by the chef (the clothes start to get real messy here).  The sets were very intricate, and all of the actors were very committed to their roles.  We even encountered a woman giving birth (cool effect that the baby flew across the room which was followed by a shower of blood).  This was a wonderfully unique experience and well deserving of five stars! You probably want to bring a change of clothes though, and maybe some wash cloths.  Also, if you can find a place other than a public parking lot to get changed at, that would be ideal.

Worst haunted attraction I have ever been too! I would guarantee it is the management style of this…read moreplace! It starts when getting your tickets. Only one line open for online purchases. I purchased online. However every one in front of me is purchasing tickets there so we wait. I have tickets they can't figure out how to scan the qr-code. No manager to help these women at the ticket booth. Then the lines aren't long but no one getting in the attractions except VIP ticket holders. Don't waste your money and time.

One of the best haunted attractions I've been to in a while! I was genuinely scared and their…read moreeffects were outstanding. The parking was organized and there were many employees available to help you with any questions. Some notes: 1. Wear sneakers -- there are long lines outside on grass and lots of walking through the haunted areas. 2. Porta potties located throughout the attraction. Bring hand sanitizer. 3. They have smoke throughout the entire area -- inside and outside. If you have asthma, bring your inhaler just in case. 4. Lines are long so think of ways to entertain yourselves during the wait. The earlier you get there, the less you'll wait in the lines. There were entertainers throughout the lines but they were infrequent. 5. There was a snack stand right before the first attraction that sold pretzels, hot dogs, candy, and drinks. There is also the pumpkin patch at the end of the route that has carnival vibe food areas with funnel cake, corn dogs, fries, slushies, candy, etc. 6. The first haunted house has many exits if the place is too scary. Because of this, the first one wasn't as scary. On the other hand, the other 2 attractions did not have exits if it is too scary. 7. There's a VIP line and it looked worth it after standing in lines all night.

Incredibly disappointing tour; Many of the individuals in our tour group drove 1-2 hours for this…read moreexperience. Our tour started almost 30 minutes late because the guide was waiting for a personal friend to arrive - and on top of that we hended up having a spark notes version of the tour because of an event happening later in the afternoon. Our questions were shot down and we were told we would cover that topic during a different section of the tour. That part never came. We missed several buildings and the buildings we did see we weren't permitted to view inside/certain floors. They tried to end the tour over an hour early, but as soon as we demanded a refund/reschedule opportunity they said we could go backtrack to a few different places that we had initially not been permitted to see. The guide started the tour full of energy and stories - she told us about court cases that lead to many current laws and legislations that have been passed. However, after she tried to end the tour early that same energy she had was lost. For the entire last hour of the tour we were brought to empty rooms and told very little history of the place. Instead she just spoke to a few individuals (which I'm assuming are the ones she knew personally). This experience was a wasted drive, and quite frankly wasted money. They prioritized a specialty event that was happening instead of focusing on each and every individual tour - who honestly had paid just as much to be here. We spent more time standing around and waiting than we did hearing about this places history.

Under 3.5 stars for this place is criminal. We come at least once every 2 years and sometimes for…read morethe Christmas event. Amazing sets and actors. Reasonably priced food and games. Would drive up to 2.5 hours for this event. I don't 100 percent love the concept of the hayride closing doors in a bunch of show rooms in a row but they are working with limited space and are well done. Not the best hayride in the area but the 2 haunted houses are really cool and the outdoor walkthrough has some really cool props. Would def recommend to anyone to check out at least once. I was able to get BOGO vip tickets via their facebook page through a third party seller.

I purchased the tickets ahead which was pricey but overall worth it! The tickets included admittance to the three attractions which were the haunted house, hayride and the corn maze. My fav was the corn maze, the actors did a good job with jumping out at random moments. I definetly got a good scare or two lol! My only gripe was the long lines, each attraction took about 40 minutes to enter due to the long lines. At the end we got cinnamon sugar donuts which were hot and delicious!

The business does a great job managing the crowds of people from lines and parking. Be warned that you can't bring large purses or backpacks. This was not clear when we bought tickets, and online it only said to make sure we wore closed toed shoes. Aside from that, I paid approx $60 and for 3 haunted attractions on a Sat night, including parking, was a good price. The haunted hayride was the true showstopper in my opinion but the corn maze and house were good too. Really fun overall!

We had a few very weird occurrences happen throughout the night, most notably in the attic and basement, both of which gave off insanely heavy vibes.

First of all, I went here for the hayride advertised by CBS3 Local, so I got a discount of 7.50…read morefrom 15. I am in NO way going to complain about the price. This place seems relatively new for a haunted house as they have few attractions. A few food stand, a few decorations, and the hayride. There is BOATLOADS of potential here considering the amount of land they have (Blue Mountain) and the resources I think they can pull. As of this year though, the 3D experience isn't really worth it. It's cool for the one "garage" you're in, but otherwise is useless as its hard to see their hard work on the sets. The actors do not break character (something ive seen on a few hayrides) and go all out. A few decorations I think were not needed (It seemed like a Gorilla in a cage was misplaced). Otherwise, it's cool how they try to mesh the different areas together. Every single person there is super super friendly. If you're in the area for it, I strongly encourage you to give it a whirl just because of its low price and the beautiful atmosphere. Coming from the city, you really appreciate the stars when you see them (/end cliche)

I've always loved the actors here and the different themes that they have. There is a lot to do at Shocktoberfest.

The actors are among the best and I like the design of everything here. When you walk in, there is a Jurassic Park like entrance with a zombie on it.
