Was in town for the weekend and stumbled across Hell's Gate and boy am I glad I did!…read more This place is built by horror fans for horror fans. The houses are created with so much care and were genuinely terrifying (but in the best way). Their house of horrors is a multi-roomed homage to horror cinema that is visually engaging, scary, and FUN! And their longer haunt, self-named "Hell's Gate" is 5 football fields' worth of spooks... between its pitch black hallways, the light physical contact from its scare actors, and its sound design I was fully sweating... and the fact that you're physically in the woods only adds to the horror. Add in some fantastic staff and other fun activities like axe throwing and "zombie paintball" and this place just simply rocks. Highly highly recommend! P.S. Including photos of a few beautiful sets from this haunt but these are truly the only ones I got because the rest of the time I was running for my life lol.

Additionally, it doesn't matter that you buy tickets online. You will then have to stand in a stupid long line to get a wristband to THEN go stand in line at your haunted house of choice. The coordinators literally just created 1 huge line that takes hours to get through for no reason. No street vendors or entertainment outside of the houses anymore. Haven't been in a few years hence why I didn't know about the armband or general boringness of the current experience but I imagine it'll be my last time.

But don't worry, we were told that they stay open until maybe 11 or midnight so it might be worth getting in line. We were told to stand in the same line as people who didn't buy tickets ahead of time. No warning of this line. They just take your money and assume you'll either give up or spend your entire night in a line an half of a mile long. Absolute joke.

I asked the lady can the scare actors not go hard on him. I pointed to the video and she said Oh, that's in L.A. where it's bigger and much more. After everything was said and done, my son loved it.

The set designs were impressive, and a few moments actually delivered a decent scare. However, it was still extremely hot inside, which made the experience uncomfortable after just a few minutes. While the timing between groups was improved compared to The Edge of Hell, the overall organization still left a lot to be desired. For $69 (for two haunted houses), I expected a smoother, more professional setup and better crowd management. Although The Beast offered more thrills, it still didn't live up to the hype or the hefty price tag. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're okay with paying a premium for an experience that feels more exhausting than entertaining.

However, we were chest to back with others the entire way - they slow it down briefly with a slide - but this was mostly animatronics and not many human actors. most importantly - they didn't spread out groups going through the house - which made it super hot and miserable After Beast, we went to Macabre - which was a SIGNIFICANTLY better experience - mostly human actors - couldn't recommend that one enough! 4.5/5 * for Macabre

EXILED will leave you questioning what is part of the show. Prepare to leave yourself in the woods and emerge with a fresh perspective. Thank you for the experience.

There is a reason this attraction costs less than the others... it's more of a dark maze than a…read morehaunted house. Not really scary at all. Not very many ghouls roaming around. A good beginner's house, is how I'd describe it. It's fact, that the original owner of "Poe's Chambers" died in the elevator shaft while doing general maintenance on it. It's also fact, that the coffins used in the "coffin room" are real, once-had-someone-buried-in-them, coffins. They should really capitalize on those two facts to enhance the creepiness of this haunted attraction. They do not even mention it, to my knowledge. Furthermore, something that could be done to enhance the scare factor, is to explain the Poe stories a bit better. Develop the plot. Signs on the wall, a running commentary. A pamphlet they hand out to people in line... I realize the point is to move people through, but there has to be a way to tell the stories better. Maybe a recommendation on the website to read Poe's stories. I haven't read anything by Poe since high school, some 15 year ago. The props in the rooms, although well done, were lacking in any explanation and would have held more "punch" if there had been some instilled fear behind them. Some understanding. I heard people in line talking about the Tell-Tale Heart - they didn't even know the name of the story or any of the details, except something about being buried alive. And, without knowing that, or understanding what you're experiencing afterward in the house - what is there to really be scared of? It's just a maze with some eerie scenes thrown in, a lot of flashing lights and some obstacles to crawl through, but definitely lacking in the spook factor. So, if it's your first time ever experiencing a haunted house, read some Poe stories and then go. Enjoy this and build up to the real thing, a few blocks down and around the corner. If you've already been to the "granddaddy of them all", do not waste your money here. You'll be unimpressed, I fear.

Hadn't set foot In this park in nearly a decade, but Halloween Haunt was the perfect excuse to…read morebreak the streak. It was completely slammed--even a veteran season passholder in our crew swore they hadn't seen crowds this massive in ten years. You will easily crush your daily step goal just trekking from one end of the park to the other, but fair warning: if you go on a peak night, seriously consider snagging a Fast Lane / Fright Lane pass to bust through the brutal lines. Otherwise, you'll spend half your evening standing still. ​Also, brace your wallet for the real horror show: the prices. Between specialty cocktails, standard park food, and gift shop merch, concessions are horrifically expensive, so come prepared for serious sticker shock. That said, my CryptKeeper drink in a souvenir cup--a blood-red cherry limeade and vodka concoction--was genuinely delicious and went down dangerously easy. ​The attractions delivered solid, old-school haunted house vibes. We walked right into a couple, while two or three had monster lines where we had to hold our ground, but the payoff was creepy cool. For rides, strapping into Zulu to get whipped around at breakneck speeds was a blast, But waiting in the line to get there with like being stuck in a traffic jam. Aside from the constipated lines. The hourly live band kept things lively--the female vocalist had serious pipes, which generously balanced out the male singer trying his absolute ghoulish heart out to stay on key. ​To top it off, snagging next year's season pass for just 30 additional bones was a steal of a deal. (It's a promo if you buy a daily ticket) Huge crowds and steep prices aside, it was a killer night.
