So grateful I spotted this experience on Groupon and took a chance. My family of four came on a…read moreFriday night - a bit earlier around 9:30p so the wait wasn't bad. The haunt has several stands in the line for you to read about the story and a video screen showing movie clips. The actors were fantastic. They made the line as much fun as the haunt. We loved watching them startle incoming guests. Before going in a group picture is taken and you can buy the copy for $5. Overall, several rooms to walk through and they've really made it full of animatronics. I didn't want to walk too fast because there was a lot to appreciate - even if it meant extra attention from the scare team. There's other fun areas you're "locked" into with a character and they get real close. Some areas of caution. It is built within an industrial building and there's a few steps and bumps along the path. They tell you not to run for a reason. One area is full of strobe lights and smoke - I had zero visibility. Thankfully my kids realized I was disoriented and grabbed my hand to pull me through or I'd still be there! The finale of the haunt is what adds my fifth star. A gift shop of clothing and decor, a snack truck, animals from a sanctuary to pet, desserts to indulge in - plus an escape room. We spent just as much time enjoying this and everyone was so friendly. Street parking plus a private lot available. Security to wand folks at ticket booth. Porter potties are clean. Lighting in key areas.

For our first haunted house, and especially being one of the very few open during the Covid-19…read morepandemic, my friend and I were very excited to visit the Haunted Hotel. Firstly, I'd like to commend the staff on a few things. There were attendees outside who were enforcing the six foot rule, were making sure people were wearing protective masks, and were keeping the line lively with costumed actors chasing people around. It set a great atmosphere that showed you what to prepare for inside, that it would be both safe and unsettling. The interior of the haunt was tremendous, as each room and even the transition spaces were decorated well. A variation of atmospheres made for an exciting journey through what felt like an endless maze. Where Haunted Hotel really lost myself, my friend, and our teenage accomplices is the actors. Several actors only stood motionless, staring "creepily" as we passed by. Not intimidating or scary at all. A few that were great included the first actor, who introduces you, the man in the elevator, and the girl in the church. One girl at the bottom of the stairs tried and performed well, but beyond them, a lot of people were either ill-prepared to scare people or simply pointed and said "that way" to guide us out. One girl, dressed as the nun from the Conjuring series only said "hurry the f*ck up" as we passed, not doing anything to scare us. As we were leaving, prepared for the inevitable chainsaw chase-out, the actor was smoking and we startled him as we entered the room. Not the best thing to see to leave a lasting impression. Overall, you can tell the love that was put into the building as the sets were phenomenal. For most of the actors though, a scare class is needed. What I will compliment the business on is that each actor had a mask that was compliant with the restrictions. Sadly though, after spending $25 to enter and then waiting in line for two hours, my high excitement was deflated rather quickly. Here's hoping they improve as the season continues.

Paranormal treasure [Louisville KY]…read more Hubby wanted to do this tour when he learned that it was located in Louisville. I tried booking online thru Eventbrite but all tours that weekend were fully booked. I decided to give it a shot and called them. They were able to squeeze us in the first tour of the evening which was 9:00p. We arrived 15 mins early as instructed and made our way inside the gothic building. As many other curious visitors of Waverly Hills we were in search of history, architecture and the paranormal. There was a sign posted inside as we were registering: "This establishment is reported to be Haunted. Management is NOT responsible and cannot be held liable for any actions of any Ghosts/Spirits on these premises." www.theRealWaverlyHIlls.com Background: Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a former tuberculosis hospital in Louisville KY. TB was widespread in the area, resulting in a waiting list to stay at the sanatorium. Despite its name, Waverly Hills was not a mental hospital; a sanatorium is any institution that provides treatment and convalescence for chronic illnesses. Our tour guide was a member of the Historical Society. The experience included a guided tour where we were lead, at least partially, across all 5 floors and we also had the chance to look down the body chute. Waverly Hills has a reputation as one of the most haunted places in America and has been featured on ghost hunting shows as "Ghost Hunters," "Ghost Adventures," "Paranormal Lockdown," and "Buzzfeed Unsolved." There were some 30 of us in the tour... the historical stories shared with us were interesting and cool but I did not feel any of the following: full grabs, see shadows, apparitions, or shadow people, feel permanent residents walking up to people, taps, temp changes-cold spots, or hotspots, heard screams, footsteps nor door slamming. Too many people on our tour but I can't complain because we were just lucky to get in as extras. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is on the National Register of Historic Places for both its significance historically, as well as the architectural significance of the building. Review #3911

Just from my experience alone, I can tell the employees here really love working here as tour guides. They care for the building, it's history, and it's past patients. The staff are very informative on the history and building and love to share what they know when asked! A lovely experience and was a longer tour than expected for being a mini-tour. The haunted house had a decent amount of scare actors and the overall decoration and atmosphere were great. They provide food and drinks for purchase after, as well as a small gift shop. Notice: Bathrooms are accessible AFTER the haunted house. Until you reach the exit, there are port-a-potties available before you enter the building.

We even had the guy managing the line outside tell us to scoot closer to the people in front of us. We refused especially because people on the other side of the line that looped next to us weren't wearing their masks. My group was only 5 people so they put us with another small group. I thought that was weird because I think on their site they said that they were only putting people with their groups and not combining. The best thing is that the actors cannot touch you. I know haunted houses this year are weird but we still have to enforce these things especially with rates skyrocketing. Now to the scares... I had a blast. It was my sons first time at a haunted house and he kinda enjoyed himself. He was scared lol and I thought that was funny too. I convinced him to go because I told him that they can't touch you this year. Best time to go!! The beginning is what got us. They lined us up in this room and then turned all the lights off. It was pitch black. When the lights came on, the actors were standing right in front of us. You couldn't even hear them come in. That scared my son so bad. I knew this was going to be great lol. Once we started he had his ears covered the entire time. I laughed the entire time at him and the one actor that had the "dead baby". Good times!! I would go again.

It was one of the longer haunts I have been to and I screamed throughout the whole thing. My sister who usually stays in the front kept me up front because she was too scared to proceed in the darkness of the rooms. There is a lot of character interaction which is another unique thing about this haunt. They also keep you spaced out so you are not running into other groups which has happened at some of the haunts I ve been to and it kinda ruins them if you get put in a big group. I can not recommend this place enough. I drove almost an hour to get there and it was well worth the drive. I will be back next year.

It cost 20 dollars to get in which is steep but they all cost around that much so you're not going to get a better deal anywhere else. We waited for over an hour to finally go on the haunted trail but there were actors and posters around so you had something to look at. You do get a few scares but nothing too serious. The actors do take their job seriously but may accidentally break character if someone makes a weird comment to them. Overall, not a bad place to go during Halloween.

A…read morehaunted house was definitely on the list and I wanted to visit Nightmare Forest for a bigger experience. It's a longer drive but also an outdoor event that tends to offer more scenes for a similar ticket cost. We went on a Saturday night and got there around 8:30-9p. The staff told us the crowd picks up after 10p. They helped to safely park cars and it was a quick walk to the ticket sales booth and entrance. Pro Tips: buy tickets online!! There's a small fee but reasonable. We saw people waiting in a long line for tickets, only to turn around and wait in line for the haunted experience. Do the Fast Pass!! You truly pass the bulk of the crowd and go to the front of the line. Even at our time, if we'd stood in the regular line my guess is it would've been an hour or more. We waited 5-10 minutes at the most. Wear comfy clothes, and not your best shows. You're outside, it's dark and full of dust and leaves. No reason to dress to impress. Bring extra dollars. They had refreshments and drinks, plus a few activities like axe throwing, bonfire and side show items for pictures. Like a small circus sideshow. They also sell a bit of branded apparel. The scenes were nicely done, and we walked slow on purpose to appreciate the animatronics. They strategize the scenes well to give the actors opportunities to scare you more than once. Lots of wall turns and lights, plus places to hide. I'd confuse which ones were fake versus real people! I'm so glad we came and made this one of our fall activities. I'd recommend it to others!
