First of all- they charge $10 for parking (cash or cash app only). You park and no one tells you where to go, you just wander around to find the entrance. It's dark and pretty dangerous before you even get there. The wait was long- over 2 hours. The line actors were entertaining, but doesn't make the wait any better. We were in a group of four that started out just fine, and then a few minutes in we easily caught up to another group of four who thought it was a tourist destination, stopping and pointing to everything. We should have asked to go around them, but at some point, one of the actors should have done something to distance everyone. It got so clogged that there ended up being 20 people waiting behind this group to go through it. They tripped all the scares and animatronics, so there were no jumps for us. I think they were family members of one of the actors inside. Many of the rooms were just scenes with nothing going on. They definitely need more actors spaced throughout. Pretty bad for spending so long waiting. read more

One of the best haunts I've been to, the actors knew how to put on a show. There were all types of scares from jumpscares, to vocal scares, all of it. They put in the work and did an amazing job with it!! I'll definitely share them with friends and family. So excited to come back next year and see what's in store!! read more

Arrived at 8:15 didn't get to the front of the line until 2 hours later. Very hard to navigate as you are moving in the pitch dark and there are a lack of actors. Also a slide you climb down that is not mentioned so if you are disabled be weary as it is not a soft tunnel. I give 2 starts because it is obvious they tried but seems like they don't really care. They sell alcohol which I guess is cool? A group of girls accidentally/intentionally skipped ahead in line and someone ahead of my group told the employees at the front. The girls got upset and held dirty stares as they were told to either go back in line where they were or to the end. Overall an experience but for $25 and a 2 hour wait not really up to par. read more

The wait was about an hour and a half which is fine.... The actors came out and we're entertaining during the wait. You could tell how much work they put into the haunted house and I thought it was definitely scary and worth the price. The blindfold at the beginning was definitely freaky! Great work everyone, thanks for putting it on! The one thing that was kind of annoying was paying the $5 for parking. But I'm sure the property makes you charge everyone. read more

I absolutely loved going here. It's an Amazing environment and energy all around. They have alot to offer and for me and my family we had a absolutely amazing time. read more

I'll preface my review by saying I feel like the cons I have are more directed towards the owner rather than the actors. Many of these issues could have been solved very easily with better training by veteran actors which left a 'you're on your own' vibe towards the actors. TLDR: While there were a few good actors the overall majority were under trained and boring(not necessarily fault to them if they were not properly trained). Covid-19 was blatantly ignored and became dangerous when actors were in your face with no masks. I don't recommend attending this haunt for this haunt season if not merely for your safety. I'll start on a good note and list the pros I found. Pros- -The actor with the swirled morph suit making clicking noises was incredible and stayed in character even when pointing out group in the right direction. -The actor in one of the tunnels that was standing over us was well placed and I enjoyed the height threat. -The porch scenery was very well done for being an indoor haunt and the inside of the house worked out to be very mood setting. -The actor behind the desk as you get to the insane asylum interacted and bantered beautifully with us. They really kept the mood and I appreciated the interactivity. Cons- -The 'midway' part or waiting area was very underwhelming and felt oppressive. The couches felt like they hadn't been cleaned and social distancing was not easy if you wanted a seat. The person doing stamps on your hand never cleaned the stamp between people which is crucial during this time. -No one was searched for weapons and one of the actors even told us that there had been a stabbing. All they did was ask if we had a knife on us and never checked if that was true. -They wanted us to wear cloth blindfolds, to which I declined and they had to radio in checking to see if that was even allowed. When the rest of my group gave their blindfolds up no disinfecting was done to them. During this maze part other actors were guiding the group that had blindfolds on by holding their hands. No gloves were used and to my knowledge no hand sanitizer was used afterwards. -I understand being first year actors and that some of the actors were children but I heard the same phrases over and over. 'Get out' 'Keep going' 'Boo' 'Get away' 'Come play with me/us' Simple training would give them a chance to come up with new phrases and left a cheesy taste in my mouth. -The actors that had chainsaws need to be trained not to raise the chainsaw above their head for safety reasons. Along with this they were waving the chainsaws with no control and easily could have hurt themselves or a customer. -None of the actors seemed to really understand what social distancing was and I constantly found an actor in my face. I had an actor startle me only once simply because they fully screamed right in my ear. -This is a high touch haunt and I highly doubt they were disinfecting all the places we touched in between groups. -We nearly fell down stairs since there was no sign or light to see them. -I never saw a single mask being used besides haunt masks. -The tickets were very overpriced for what I saw especially since the haunt was only about 30 minutes long where it felt the actors only job was to make as much noise as possible. There were more cons however I feel at that point I'd be picking them apart. In my personal opinion go to Woods of Terror where for the same price you can go to a hour long haunt with professional actors that were specifically trained in haunting and follow COVID-19 protocol. read more

Actors are not scary - they are annoying jerks. Screaming directly in your ear...and then doing it in the other ear when a patron complains: not scary. Incessant cussing: not scary at all - annoying. Look at their own comments on Facebook- they "promise" that the problems from last year have been fixed ... obviously unable to create a truly scary experience. Try the Stoney Point Trail of Terror instead - waaaay better actors! Fear Factory: NOT worth the $$. Btw: I addressed these & other issues through the Fear Factory's Facebook page almost 24 hours ago & have received no reply despite the trend that they respond in just a "few hours" read more

I'm not much of a Haunted House Person but this was truly a cool experience... totally worth it!

My 19 year old son and some of his friends went to this attraction last year and ran into an incident. One of the knuckle-head volunteer scare actors kicked open a steel door from the other side as my son led the next group through. The door busted open his lip and took off a pretty good size chunk that required a Womack cosmetic surgeon to be recalled and carefully repair. Not a single volunteer nor worker offered any assistance to my son. The actor who kicked the door open couldn't even be bothered to stop. He just proceeded on as my sun buckled and went to the ground. So, my son's girl friend did the only thing that a teenager with no experience in these situations would have done; she drove him home and then I took him to Womack. Along with the damage to his lip (which required carefully stitching it back together) one of my son's front teeth was bent inward slightly. He just came off braces 6 months prior. Luckily, his tooth has returned back to normal with the use of a retainer, but the dentist noted that the root of the tooth is damaged and will, eventually, result in a root canal in the not-so-distant future. We have my son on video and more than half a dozen witnesses, but after contacting Fear Factory about the incident, they were absolutely no help. As a matter of fact, we even had a lawyer contact them in which they became belligerent about how they are not responsible and that everyone signs a waiver. That's a load of BS. That waiver only protects them against actions visitors take that cause injury. It doesn't cover them from assault or the buildings roof collapsing (if that were to ever happen). Anyway, they pride themselves on chasing lawyers away and avoiding lawsuits. I didn't want a lawsuit. Only wanted them to let go of the incompetent volunteer that caused this and to pay for a future root canal. Nothing else. I do not recommend this place and it presents way too much risk with untrained volunteers who are irresponsible and negligent. Also, based on what my son informed me (and the numerous reviews that I've read about this establishment) marijuana use is a serious problem here. My son informed me that numerous young adults smoked marijuana while standing in line for hours. The same comments are out in the reviews. Just look them up as this seems to be a consistent issue. Based on that information alone, I would suggest that this establishment be black-listed with admission to the off-limits list for Service Members for their protection. Instead of this establishment, try Stoney Point trail of terror or the MWR haunted trail. Both have security, are drug free and will be a safe environment with emergency assistance should an incident like my son's incident ever occur. THEY will accept responsibility unlike this establishment. This issue was dropped by the lawyer team, likely due to the insignificant amount of damages requested. Had I been billed by Womack/Tricare, it would probably be different. So Fear Factory should send them and the tax payers a "thank you" note. read more

BRING CASH!! Cash only accepted. ATM's on grounds but could always run out of cash. Definitely fun but plan to wait for at least 2 hours before entering the actual haunted house part. Beer and popcorn is served. read more

The line was more scary than the inside of the actual haunted house, and I could Not believe after how many people brag about the place I was shocked, the workers was around back , they had a whole side of the place closed couldn't go threw it. Guided us the wrong way. 0-10 could not believe how bad it was there was maybe 10 boogers in there If that keep seeing the same ones over and over. Waited in line for 2 hours at that WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WISHED I COULD OF GOTTEN A REFUND ‼‼‼‼ read more

Tonight was our first visit to Aberdeen Fear Factory and I was severely disappointed. The attraction was just okay and consisted of mostly walking around in complete darkness. It was definitely not worth the $25. We started walking towards the car after exiting the Fear Factory and a vehicle passed us and told us to be careful. Shortly after a young man in a Jeep Cherokee drove up to us a started screaming and using profanity towards us. He told us we needed to turn around and walk completely back around the building when our car was within 100 feet. I talked to the people running the attraction and apparently this young man was there son. His mother explained to me that this is just the way he is. I told her that he still has no reason to cuss out a grown woman. She responded be telling me that she is bigger than me. read more

Stood in line for 4 hours after paying before cutting our losses and leaving. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. At least they sold beer. read more

My first visit and definitely not going to be a second. Not worth the $25. If I wanted to walk in the dark I would of stayed outside and asked people to jump out at me. read more

Aberdeen Fear Factory - Haunted Houses Near Me - Aberdeen, North Carolina

What a waste of my life, time and money! Halloween Weekend 2016 a group of 6 and an obscene cost of $150 for a total let down! Our group, which consisted of 2 children, stayed for the "hardcore" haunt and even the 9 year old was not scared! The actors are rude assholes that spit on you and even BIT! One of the people in our group!!!! Bit her! No joke! This place needs a serious overhaul of staff, costumes and props! Seriously, No one is afraid of the SAW movies! We told the owner one of his actors bit a person in our party and the only thing he has to say was "sorry we will make an announcement" what?! No refund?! No offer to come back another night for "maybe" a better experience?!...don't waste your time, don't waste your money...honestly had a better time at the haunted corn maze in Raeford a few years back. read more

We arrived at 9:15 and finally entered at 1:30. Four hours in line, freezing to death. At 1:00am we went to ask for or money back which was refused. Poor communication between staff and many groups of people cutting line. I am not super into haunted houses, but there were many empty rooms and spaces (without actors) throughout the walk. I would have been fine with paying $25 for the action after a one or two hour wait....but four is unnecessary. I feel like I wasted time and money. read more

This place is amazing! So freaken scary but so fun! Highly recommend. Also the staff is so nice

2020 It was too long of a wait. Covid- safety protocols are ignored. It was a long hot wait. There are Porto Potties outside, that's always such an awesome experience( sarcastic) Atleast 2 out of the 3 teens thought it was fun. The clown at the end was memorable! $20-$25 per person is a bit overpriced. But the teens enjoyed it! read more

This is one of the best haunted houses in North Carolina. It's really scary and me and my friend almost passed out.

Awesome night out with a couple friends! I was really hesitant on going because of the bad reviews but am so gld I didn't listen because we had alot of fun! They pushed the line fairly quick and the ride to the entrance and to the car made it completely worth it!!! read more

It's okay. My girl got scared but I never even flinched. Pretty much worth the $20 I guess.

Absolutely horrible. We waited 2 hours in line. The "hardcore" supposedly super scary. They said it would be in appropriate for my nephew that was 9. The first 10-15 minutes in the place no actors were even around we just walked straight through looking at props. Then as actors began to show up. They were less than impressive. They broke out of their roles. We were gathered by one actor into one area and spit on (in my face) by another actor. My wife was walking through and one actor put her mouth on her to bite until she stopped her. You could see i costumed people above in the rafters. We finally ended but could not exit because we were stuck behind each party buying a picture. Once in the parking lot we spoke to the owner. He was aware of spitting but had previously passed the word not to without checking. All in all not even my 9 year old nephew was even remotely scared. I feel like I wasted the money completely. I will never return nor will I recommend. read more

This haunt was awesome and completely different this year and has awesome actors..wrench the clown terrified my buddy so bad he jumped in a min puddle completely priceless scare.i highly recommend Aberdeen fear factory. read more

Definitely not worth the $25 price or the 2 HOUR WAIT. The actors seemed to think that "scary" means "cuss as much as possible". I also don't enjoy people getting two centimeters from my ear and screaming at the top of their lungs- and then doing it again in my other ear. Honestly I felt annoyed more than scared and just wanted it to be over with. The pitch black hallways that are throughout the fear factory cause lots of confusion and end up making it take a LOT longer than it should have. I regret choosing this over the Stoney Point Trail Of Terror now. read more

I waited until Halloween weekend and the "Hardcore" time from 11pm to midnight expecting to really enjoy a good scare. After all, my husband and I paid $25 each to get in. You get what you pay for, right? Not in this case. My husband and I are haunted house connoisseurs and critics. This was a fail. You can tell the owners don't have a passion for this particular kind of art, or else it would show. They have spent a lot of money on premade props that while they look ok, have no real support behind them. Lots of the sets lacked actors and the "hardcore" adults only portion had nothing but profanity, assaulting with water and rave paint and this murder scene that looked more like a rape scene. It was so rape-like I felt, as a woman and mother of two adult women, VERY uncomfortable. I truly believe it was supposed to be a murder scene, but it was done all wrong and came off as somthing that you would see in a church's hell house instead of a haunted house. All in all, if you are looking for a genuine scare, skip Fear Factory. It is way overpriced for what it is. This house has a small potential, but some serious things need to change before it is worth the current $25 entrance fee. read more
