Third Haunted house in two years, maybe the most unique is the bunch. Certainly a lot of thought of into each of the sections. For the 2022 season, the best section was the stage. Lots of potential for this but for the short time you were there it definitely brought a lot of questions about the people sitting in the audience. Well done! Can't wait for 2023!

Really expected to be scared more. I have high anxiety and heard a bunch of hype for nothing. We walked through and had no one approach us. Our group was split in half. The stuff was cool looking but it was a casual walk for me. Definitely didn't think it was worthy of $60. Probably first and last time I'll go. Sadly. Maybe my expectations are to high but I don't even like scary movies and this was a walk in the park for me.

What's is the age for this??14 and up??

Jaron Bridges | Oct 17, 2018
Jason Olinghouse | Oct 17, 2018

It is NOT recommended for all ages and all sizes. It basically has a PG-13 movie rating. If you let your kid watch those movies this will be fine for them.

How scary is it really, for the average child under 10. The FAQ says pg-13ish. But does anyone have experience bringing kids there?

Valerie Boss (IGN DeathVally) | Oct 17, 2017
Traves Hartman | Oct 17, 2017

I am part of the build team, i have a 9 year old and am not taking them. It's a high production level haunt with very detailed displays and costumes with a more mature theme. 13+ yes, under 13 just not sure.

Is this only olen during October?

Elizabeth Cabrera | Oct 17, 2019
Matthew Smith | Oct 17, 2019

Yep, just during October. I highly recommend getting the express tickets if they offer them again. Last year, the general admission line was clear to the street and around the corner, and took hours to get through. We had the express tickets and got in within 30 minutes. The slaughterhouse was cool, but not "wait in line for 3+ hours" cool.
