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.

When you get there, there is a video on the screen. That is NOT what it's like. Thank Goodness !! He looked at that video and was even more livid. 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. He said Okay, that was pretty great. All of us agreed that it was the best one that we've done out of a dozen.

This was absolutely one of the scariest haunted house experiences that I have ever encountered…read more Carolina haunted houses have nothing on the Kansas City thriller.. The Beast! I was very happy to find out out that Eastern Missourans enjoy a nice scare. First and foremost, I certainly advise you buy your tickets before arriving. The line to get in is incredibly long, and it is very much so worth a few extra bucks to skip all this waiting. I really liked the fact that there were food vendors around on the corners of the streets (food trucks). This helps with the annoying wait time. But once you get inside, everything changes for the better. The actors working at the haunted house do an excellent job at keeping all of us on edge, but without scaring us too badly. I was certainly glad to experience such a wonderfully terrifying experience. The art installations were phenomenal, and designs were very authentic. I would certainly go back next Halloween season!

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.

We absolutely love going to Jack's Hollow every year! It's a true gem for the KC Horror community…read more There is a suggested donation of an unopened/unused and unwrapped toy that will later be wrapped and given to children in need during the holiday season (if you can't find a toy, they accept Venmo donations!). The event itself is multi-layered. You first turn your radio to their personal station and drive through some haunted woods filled with animatronics, carved pumpkins, and some living(?) characters, too. It's kind of like holiday lights, but spooky! After you park, you can walk through the outdoor decor. There is PLENTY of neat things to look at, especially their huge, handmade animatronics. You can purchase apple cider slushies and popcorn if you're hungry, and there is a port-o-potty if you're worried about peeing your pants Finally, you can go inside to walk through a life-sized replica of the Evil Dead house, you can curl up on a couch and watch the Halloween Tree or go inside and watch a grown up spooky movie. There are other scenes to walk through, too. This is fun for all ages, the people that run the event are so sweet. They make and keep up the scenes and do so out of the kindness of their hearts. So, if you want a fun place to explore without getting too scared, or you want to see some fantastic craftsmanship, I recommend going to Jack's Hollow asap. You can sign up for a visit on their webpage!

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.
