tripadvisorMy favorite haunted house in Buffalo, I go every year. Really love how they have 5 different houses, the new one last year was awesome!
MoreKept seeing advertisements of this during our stay in buffalo and felt we needed a good scare. We were very excited to go but ended up leaving very disappointed. The venue is inside which can be nice for the cooler/rainy nights but inside is very hot and sticky. It is $40 pp, $55 pp if you want to skip the lines. CASH ONLY. But there is an ATM. We did not get the “fast pass” and the wait for each of the 5 haunted houses was about 30-40 minutes each. The makeup/props/costumes were very good. However, we did not get a scare once. It felt most time was spent on props and less focus on scaring people. Two haunted houses we walked through we didn’t see a single cast member. Is it because were in our mid 20s and are too old for this? We found it overpriced, hot, and uneventful. We would’ve left early but we kept thinking “well maybe the next one might be better”. It is not America’s #1 scare park.
MoreWe had heard for years that this was the best horror attraction, and their publicity claims it as well. The seasonal attraction boasts five separate horror houses in an former retail plaza. The displays appear permanent, which allows them to be much more extravagant than a facility that is re-set each year. Each has a different theme, for example, crazed clowns, or an asylum that's been taken over by the insane, etc. The best attraction was a chain link maze with challenging lighting and many dead ends. Why I gave it a good but not great rating is that there were multiple locations where a scare actor should have jumped out but there were none. Without the actors it's less startling. This was in October 2023, so perhaps another year would be fully staffed. The price point of $55 for the VIP (skip the lines) was a bit much, but I'd still recommend it if you plan to go because lines are long.
