I don't scare easily. Or, I didn't. Apparently I do now.
The actors just kept coming. Thought we'd be through it pretty quickly too, but the walk is actually pretty long.
Came out laughing about how badly some of us got scared.

First time here. Had no clue what we were walking into. The midway was a big part of why I liked it. We hung out instead of standing in some miserable line. Then our number got called and off we went. About 35 minutes inside, give or take. A LOT going on. Actors everywhere. Really well done.

If you're on Long Island and looking for something to do in October, this is it. When you get there there's tons to see and you're not just standing around waiting to get into the haunt. And then you finally go inside and realize the actual rooms are just as detailed. There is SO much stuff packed into them. You can see where the time went.

This was the best haunted house I’ve been too. I just went to Orlando universal studios Halloween horror nights and this was 10x more entertaining and scary! 5 stars for real! The actors were so convincing and me and my fiancé had the best time.

Third year in a row going and they still got me. I don't know if that says I'm a wimp or this place is really that scary.
In my defense, they change the theme every year, which makes a huge difference. You aren't just memorizing the same rooms and waiting for the same person to jump out.
Will make it a 4th next year.

My daughter and her friends went besides the fact that they loved it my daughter lost her phone in one of the areas of the haunted house. We went to security and Mike went above and beyond to help me find my daughter’s phone .he notified security in all different locations of her last location and they ended up finding it. I am so grateful to have such kind people work events like this and will definitely recommend going . They have gone above and beyond it is much appreciated. Thank you again for a wonderful experience. Amazing

Bought the tickets for my husband and his sister. They just loved it! They said-they were in small groups-like 5 or 6 people, instead of just a large group or following alot of people. they were both just so happy with this experience. Well worth the $$ we paid.
