I am an avid Halloween Haunt enthusiat. Every year my Buddy and I select a place to enjoy the sets,…read morethe scares and have a blast. This year we selected Hotel of Horror in PA. The YouTube videos looked great and tickets were purchased. After our pre-haunt meal we arrived. The place was lit up nicely, creepy music playing. The actor who gave the instructions was on point, he was creepy, funny and into the festivities that awaited us. So this is by no means a bad review, however, there was just not enough actors to deliver scares. The sets were fantastic, using all the standard fare that all the great places use. That being said, again, just not enough actors within the haunt. We walked through several scenes without seeing an actor. For the price of the tickets (which are on par with much larger places like Penhurst Asylum and East State Penitentiary) Hotel of Horror just does not stack up with the big boys. Would we return? Probably not, for the money, would most likely return to one of the big boys!!!

If your ready for fall time and you would like to get scared and spooky just before Halloween ,…read morethis is the place that will satisfy your needs. Great place to go with your friend. The Hotel of Horror and Altered Nightmares are both indoor, walk through Haunted House attractions featuring live actors and paranormal activity housed in the 200 year old "abandoned " Pocono Mountain resort once called The Lake House Hotel, Saylorsburg, Pa. Open rain or shine with a covered wait line and free parking. Don't let the weather scare you. That's our job! Our revamped ticketing process gives you less time in line and more time in the attraction. The Hotel of Horror and Altered Nightmares Halloween Attractions are both housed inside the legendary Lake House Hotel intertwined and breathing next to one another, sharing organs and a circulatory system like conjoined twins. The sinister subconscious of the Hotel of Horror feeds off the dark energy that stains the lumber skeleton of this once pristine mountain resort, while Altered Nightmares celebrates the chaos that grows stronger as each soul travels through its decaying halls and abandoned rooms. They are open the end of September until the end of October!!

This place is super fun, and needs to be on everyone's bucket list!…read more I've been here several times with family and friends and have had a great experience every-time. I highly recommend coming as early in the season as possible. #1 it's more enjoyable when you're not freezing to death. #2 the crowds get worse as the season goes on. There is a chart on the website that shows the busy days - use this!! The first time I came, it was late in the season and I stood in line for 3+ hours and was freezing! Since then, I have learned. Also, bring an extra jacket just in case. Everything is outside and it will get colder as the night goes on. As soon as you park, you get out of the car and are greeted with tall trees and eery music. You feel chills as you walk through the archway as "don't fear the reaper" is heard in the distance. You enter the village and wait in line as creepy figures hover around you. You'll board the wagon and I won't spoil it from there. All i will say is that the acting is on point and is very entertaining. They go all-out with everything and bring all the classics while also featuring new scares too. The blackout building and the new section (area 51 or something) is really really fun. The later is very interactive and the actors will touch you but it's so fun! I like to go once every year or two. It's a little expensive but it's worth it for sure. It's 10x better than any other haunted attraction i've ever been to. You are MISSING OUT if you don't go at least once!

The wait time is atrocious.... The line is long and boring, moving at a snails pace at about 10 ft…read moreevery 20 minutes..this needs to improve and my group really regretted coming. It killed all of our vibes. Waited about 3 hours..

This place is ridiculous. 10/10. Without spoiling too much, I will definitely say ... do the blood…read moreexperience! You get a cool tie dye shirt at the end. The actors bring you into their scene and leave their mark on you as you pass through. Lots of cool effects from fog, to lighting, scents and sounds. And of course, confusion. Not to say that you'll get lost, but they do add to the anxiety by making it somewhat difficult to maneuver. Their static props are incredibly well made. They'll have your entire group staring at the wrong thing. The scare actors did a really great job with our group. They took their time. My shirt came out the coolest because I got a dahlia smile. If you are worried about touching: The actors will touch your head, arms/hands, back and lower legs/feet. Rough grab, nothing firmer than you would a toddler to prevent running. If you are worried about it being too much: THEY HAVE A STOP WORD. Ask before you go in. Come with the intention of having fun and playing the scene with the actors. You will have lots of fun.

These events change often so I want to point out this was a 2017 visit…read more Halls of Horror is an adult haunt where you can choose the blood experience and get messy!  We did of course (and you get VERY messy).  The haunt is highly interactive and the adult humor is hysterical! There's lots of touching - at one point we encountered a large gentleman in a dress where his boobs were hanging out and we were made to feel them.  After that he tickled me.  We also got to feel a clown's balls (What? She had a room full of balls).  My friend sat down for a shave, where they covered his face in shaving cream.  We were also basted in the kitchen by the chef (the clothes start to get real messy here).  The sets were very intricate, and all of the actors were very committed to their roles.  We even encountered a woman giving birth (cool effect that the baby flew across the room which was followed by a shower of blood).  This was a wonderfully unique experience and well deserving of five stars! You probably want to bring a change of clothes though, and maybe some wash cloths.  Also, if you can find a place other than a public parking lot to get changed at, that would be ideal.

Surprised by the haunted house here I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually quite long. I…read morewas longer than I expected to be, which was great because I felt like I was definitely getting my moneys worth a haunted hayride was also pretty good too. I feel like it was a little bit less scarier than what the haunted house was but if you're going with a family, I thought that it was the right amount to scare for a family so I definitely recommend doing both of them if you can Only reason why I didn't give it. Five stories was because I felt like the actual haunted house didn't necessarily have a theme going on throughout the house. I felt like it was a bunch of different themes that were strong together, which was fine, but I felt like if there was one thing that was consistent throughout the haunted house it would've been more of an experience, but overall, I felt like it was pretty decent

Great local haunted house! Lots of scary and terrifying spots, laughing areas as well. Well worth…read morethe trip!!

First of all, I went here for the hayride advertised by CBS3 Local, so I got a discount of 7.50…read morefrom 15. I am in NO way going to complain about the price. This place seems relatively new for a haunted house as they have few attractions. A few food stand, a few decorations, and the hayride. There is BOATLOADS of potential here considering the amount of land they have (Blue Mountain) and the resources I think they can pull. As of this year though, the 3D experience isn't really worth it. It's cool for the one "garage" you're in, but otherwise is useless as its hard to see their hard work on the sets. The actors do not break character (something ive seen on a few hayrides) and go all out. A few decorations I think were not needed (It seemed like a Gorilla in a cage was misplaced). Otherwise, it's cool how they try to mesh the different areas together. Every single person there is super super friendly. If you're in the area for it, I strongly encourage you to give it a whirl just because of its low price and the beautiful atmosphere. Coming from the city, you really appreciate the stars when you see them (/end cliche)

We had a few very weird occurrences happen throughout the night, most notably in the attic and basement, both of which gave off insanely heavy vibes.

WoWwWwW... What a cool yet scary experience!…read more I was quite surprised to see this haunted house. Situated across from the school, this corner house/yard turned into a haunted experience will blow you away. You can tell a lot has gone into this and they put so much effort into the experience. The best part is that it's free! Yes, no admission fee BUT they do accept donations that they turn around and give to a good charity. Not to take away from the experience and give out the secrets, it's best to see for yourself. You will be happy to experience this. FYI: Parking is located across the street in the school lot.
