    In an abanoned Macys department store
    Kelly K.

    Sinister Pointe is a bit pricey for 3 main attractions, but it was a memorable night. 2018 was in an abandoned Macy's. At first I was joking that it was an empty Macy's with 3 floors, but you can see the old sign at the entrance. There were two "scare zones" as we entered, or mini mazes, but hardly any scare actors inhabiting them. We went on a Sunday night and went to level 2 first where we waited for the Boogeyman Express, a mine cart ride for 4 with a driver and "tour guide." We were warned it had the longest line and waited 2 hours, and it was a brutal 2 hour wait. We got churros to soften the blow but still dragged on forever. The actual ride itself it probably 5-7 minutes. Think of it as a tour through a ghost town with some creatures lurking. I enjoyed it as it was a good blend of adult humor and scary moments, but hard to justify a 2 hour wait. But did like how it didn't take itself too seriously. The good news is, we went to the front of the line for the next two attractions. Next up was Evil on 2, which was a hotel themed maze/haunt. The actor set it up well, and the fact the two of us (my friend and I) had the floor to ourselves made the experience super creepy. You basically have to find your way to the end, and with lots of evil "guests" there were plenty of hair-raising moments. One of my favorite haunted attractions I've ever done. The last one was Phobias. Again to the front of the line. This one had a series of rooms with different psychological challenges, some silly, some gross, and some scary. Again, a good mix of humor and scares. Had some memorable moments, but not as much as the hotel themed floor. If you do the math, the average wait time for each would have been 45 minutes - we just happened to wait 2 hours for 1 of the 3 attractions. The VIP pass is twice as much, and I can't see that being worth the cost. I did appreciate that the actors were really into it and totally enhanced the experience. The sets were also nicely done. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with next year.

    Entrance! :O

    Thanks for the tickets Yelp!!! So many mixed reviews for Sinister Pointe, in my opinion they deserve the five stars for effort! If I had to pay for it maybe the star factor would go down a notch! I arrived at 7pm. (Sinister Pointe is located where the old second hand store used to be) lots of parking all around. If you already have your tickets park in the rear. If you need to purchase or pick up, that would be in the front! There are three or four different lines, an employee there will direct you to the line you should be in! I waited about forty minutes before it was our turn!! The mazes take you through different doors and each door takes you through situations you have to figure out how to keep moving thorough to get the hell out!! I mentally had a plan to just rush in and out to get it over with but that was a fail! One of the rooms I had trouble with was one with doors everywhere, I kept trying and trying and the guy with creepy costume breathing down my neck didn't help one bit! I had to keep pushing him out of my way! Finally I broke through!!! The actors were great, the props were scary! I couldn't tell if some were real or fake! Well I made it out alive and even have a picture as a keepsake! Purchase yours for about $18.00 on your way out! Oh, don't forget to wipe that red dot off your forehead!

    I've been to Knotts Scary Farm, Queen Mary Dark Harbor, & Six Flags Fright Fest AND Sinister Pointe was the best in terms of SHORTEST WAIT. Bigger theme parks obviously have more attractions such as rides and mazes but when it comes down to it, waiting for 2+ hours per maze worth it or no? You'd prob get about 2-3 mazes the entire night. Not only that, but the chaotic parking is terrible!! You have to pay for parking and find a spot. Sinister pointe offers 3 mazes and one blackout escape room ($1/person). Although theres only 3 mazes, 2/3 are quite longer than usual mazes at other theme parks. My favorite was the interactive maze. Ive never been to any of these but they have different rooms with different scenarios. Youre able to climb though tunnels, go through lockers, and etc. Its located in Macy's (closed down) at the Laguna Hills Mall. Its about 2 stories and it wasn't as occupied as I expected. I was able to go through 2 mazes twice too! You can finish everything in about an hour if you come at exactly 7pm. Mazes: - Boogyman express train (train ride throughout the maze) 8/10 - Evil on 2 (scary hotel maze) 8/10 - Phobia (interactive maze with different rooms full of surprises) 9/10

    Ummm...Noooooo. Maybe I set the standard so high after just experiencing The 17th Door right before showing up here. But seriously I keep an open mind and be completely analytical and objective when writing a review. However, this place just had a zero "wow" factor! Not even sure how to go into this really but here goes... Both my date and I felt like it was put together by The Boy And Girl Scouts Of America. Its as if someone forgot that this was supposed to be a haunted house and not Willy Wonka And the Chocolate factory. The constant open this door and that door was annoying because you would open them and expect something to jump at you as predicted, but no absolute nothingness! A few times here and there certain gollums and ghouls would jump out of which I'm pretty sure I stepped on one of their feet and squeamishly one of them said "sh*t my foot" LOL. Your journey begins with a card reading and that card is handed to you and sets the pace of where you go in the house. Each card represents a symbol and is matched with doors with that exact symbol of which door you go through and yes once again you go through a lot of doors! You move through this pretty quick and at the end left saying in your own head " I dropped $ on this" Honestly, my review ends here not much to really say other than if you want an entry level type haunted house this would be a good start. But if you have a certain high standard set for a legitimate spook then go elsewhere.

    How long should I expect to be in the event if I'm doing the scavenger hunt?

    Is this like a Halloween horror where people scare you while you walk around?

    Hi! In a sense yes! The difference is....there is no actual maze to follow through. You will free roam a fog filled abandoned town crawling with creatures. There is a scavenger hunt game element to it which is fun! But you are not required to play… Read more

    Wow 17th door is back for another spooky season! This year the 17th door brings the fear in what…read moreis probably the most action packed haunt in north america. Every square foot of this haunt is frightfully alive. 17 focuses on great actors and inventive non stop scares with dozens and dozens of monsters throughout all 17 rooms. Makeup and special effects are just amazing. This is a haunter's haunt that attracts the best talent around. Expect to be thrilled, scared, shocked and delighted. These monsters ain't shy, so strap in, you are in for a wild ride! Before you visit any other haunted attractions, visit 17th door first. It's in a league of its own. Sure you can tromp around another huge, overpriced, overcrowded, "just ok" theme park haunt with the same worn out mazes and the same bored rubber masked zombies doing the same tired old pop up gags you see every year, or you can do 17 and see the industry's best veteran scare actors who bring the fright night after night. Easy free parking too right in front of the main entrance. Highly recommend.

I'll be honest, I…read morewas seriously bummed when I found out there'd be no Field Trip this year....that was hands down one of the coolest things I've ever experienced in a haunt. That said (and without spoiling a thing), this year's production absolutely exceeded my expectations. No cheesy jump scares here, instead they go straight for the deep seated phobias, the stuff that actually gets under your skin. The execution? Beautifully done. Creative, intense, and immersive from start to finish. Still holding out hope that the Field Trip makes a comeback one day. If I had a magic Halloween genie, that's the first wish I'd cash in. Tips: - whole experience is about 45 minutes long - Wear comfortable shoes, you'll be moving, ducking, and maybe running for your life - VIP tix so worth it if you go when it's packed, you skip the line straight to the front - If you're nervous or easily freaked out, grab the mercy pendant - You might get wet in a few spots, so plan accordingly with your hair and makeup situation - And please, pray with me that they bring the Field Trip back, it deserves a resurrection!!!!

The whole aesthetic here seems to be a combination of Japanese and Chinese horror which to me is super creepy... i mean, Ju-on (The Grudge)??? I went with a group of four but they only let two in at a time. There was no line which was strange being that it was Halloween night. The staff was really friendly and even asked if we wanted it less scary or really scary. I chose "less scary" because of the two girls with us that were afraid :P‍ That said it was still eerie and had a good amount of scares. The best part is (again) the style of costumes and viewpoint of horror, spirits and ghosts in Asia. I won't spoil the specific scares but there is one part in particular where I had an "oh hell nah!" moment 0_0 The maze seemed kind of short, maybe 7 minutes, but i wasn't counting. There weren't really any extravagant special effects which could be good or bad depending on the person. I feel a haunted house can be good without all of the over-production. That said, this does feel like a lower-budget haunted house, but at $15, I found it to be worth it and my group had fun too I hope this maze gets more business because it could be a little bigger and get more staff for scaring. It's such a refreshing take on haunted houses though and I want this place to be around for more Halloweens!
