Went out on a blackout day and it was agood time. Quite a lengthy haunt with absolutely no lights. It was fun to be a part of this event, though a bit pricey and mauybe just too much darkness.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Had a fantastic time at Realm
Super exciting and thrilling experience. It was a great time with all the monsters they have. Knowing exactly how its going to be in the dark, the actors took full advantage of the situation. I think one of my friends may have peed themself LMAO.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Mind blowing attraction
It was my first time to this haunt and it was truly mind blowing. I am not one who get scared easily but this place had me jumping a few times. The ambience was great. The scares were awesome. The actors did a good job. They were well on their grounds and had each setting executed perfectly well. 5/5 pumpkins for me.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Perfect Haunt
It was great haunted house and we loved it. Never did I like being in haunted houses cuz they are usually such cheese but this one had me go gaga. The bar was available and it was a good idea to pour on a bit of liquid courage beforehand. They had games and music to keep us occupied while we were waiting. As close to perfect as Ive seen from a haunted attraction yet.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Definitely worth it...
One of the best haunts I've seen. Lines are crazy. The skip the line pass is definitely worth it. The props were used creatively. It was hilarious to see people scream their asses off. The actors were completely transformed and didnt even seem human. It created an uncomfortable feeling and we loved it.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Scary as hell
OMG Scary as hell. Great makeup, great scares! Highly recommend 13+ years old, unless you have a very brave child.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: It was amazing on black out day!!
Went out on a black out day and it was a great time. Quite a lengthy experience with absolutely no lights. It was fun to be a part of this event. it was a bit pricey but still well worth the money to have a unique experience like that.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Definitely be back
This visit was worth the money. The makeup artists did an amazing job. The fx were simple but realistic. I was startled more than a few times and the music was spot on. I will most definitely be back!!
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Bone chilling fun
By far the most thrilling and bone chilling fun I had this Halloween season. Remembering a few of those terrific monster faces still sends a chill through my spine lol. Perfect night out me and my girl.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: I highly recommend it
This was a lot of fun. The line was long but it moved quickly.The timing of the effects was perfect. The actors had a good time. They knew the art of the scare and were completely immersed into character. it was a good time.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Unexpected scares
I’ve been visiting a haunt for the first time in the last 5 years, and this one was clearly one of the best haunts in the area. The haunt is creatively built with lots of attention to details. It has got lots of twists and turns with hidden props and scares that you can’t escape. It is dark in places, or dimly lit at best. You got to duck and crawl around close to scene/actors, which could freak out some people. While doing so, the electronic props or scare actors might be close enough to touch you. The maze was excellent. The entire stroll appeared to be straight out of a horror movie. There were unexpected scares from all corners. The actors all did a professional job. I will come again with my wife.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Awesome experience
This was my first visit to a haunted house and the experience was awesome. The house was more of a maze with lots of scary characters waiting to have a go at you. My GF screamed and jumped through the whole maze. The actors were professional and seem to take pride in their work. We opted for a VIP pass that shortened the waiting time. Food and drinks were good as well. Worth every penny paid for tickets. I will come again for sure.
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Email Verified Terrifying scares
Had a blast at this terrifying haunt. We had the best of time here and looking forward to it again. Everything about it was superlative. The set, haunts, lighting and sound, the actors were all great. You will find a good amount of spirits inside the haunt bar to calm your nerves and mind. It was like bring in an action game where we play an important role. The set is fully immersive and that’s quite thrilling. It is full blown action. The terror starts and ends at the parking lot. We are sure to visit this place next season.
