Old spook house. Lame. Cramped narrow hallways, stiffling hot. I didn't like it and neither did my family.

Corny but fun - a definite must see for families, watch the small kids though. My younger ones were freaked a little but it's all in good fun

fun for the kids, but low budget, pretty impressive art, I wouldn't go in it again, however. It's slightly more than a museum because there are some surprises, almost too dark because you can see the walls and run into them.

It was fun--a little scary--some things will get you!!--I held on to my new husband for dear life. Some parts you are in complete darkness--so watch out. Not recommended for children, they will be scared--cause as an Adult--I was!

The “scenes” in this place are ridiculous. There is nothing remotely scary or haunted about it. Kind of sad, I love haunted houses!

If you want to have a good laugh, a bit of a thrill and are a kid at heart, definitely check this out. I've been going there for years and it just never gets old, even though the props are silly and it isn't REALLY scary. It's just plain fun!

We bought our tickets promised by the old man that nothing would jump out at us or grab us and we trusted him but then we went to put our tickets in to what looked like a coffin and the top wood part jumped a little and I did as well. The guy laughed and that set the tone for... More

Too scary for my Daughter and my Husband thought it was old and cheesy. The exhibits are outdated and for the price it was just not worth it.

It has great outside appeal to draw you in, but it is a weak and very short excursion through the theater. Not what i was expecting
