A tarted up shadow of its former self…read more What's left of the original decor is hidden behind countless taped up posters, signs and standing displays - to the point where it looks like a teenager's bedroom or a college dorm. I like movie posters, but you're bombarded with them practically everywhere you look. It's beyond overkill. The actual movie experience on nearly every screen is compromised by the dim projection and because they're mostly in oddly shaped rooms where sightlines take a lower priority to capacity and traffic. Before you watch a movie here, pull up the trailer for that movie on your phone. If the picture on the movie screen is not as bright, sharp and clear as the picture on your phone, there is definitely something wrong. The most common causes are leaving the 3D filter on for non-3D movies, using worn out projector bulbs beyond their expiration date, and running the bulbs at less than full capacity. My guess is all three happen here. The screen wall should be free of distraction, not competing with a ramp to an exit door, especially if that ramp pushes the screen up to an uncomfortable sightline. Worst is #6 where the seats face straight ahead, but the screen is angled oddly to the left. I understand why it was done - a bad choice years ago - but it's no longer necessary, and the result is an awkward asymmetrical sightline. Also, the blue lights on the stairs are 10 times brighter than they need to be. The glare in your eyes increases your chance of tripping, (I did, and the guy in front of me, too). The floor lights reflect on the screen, washing out the picture contrast with a blue glow throughout the movie. Not a premium experience. The main room is very sad. The once beautiful atmospheric sky ceiling shows peeling paint and water damage, the original stage looks like a basement with some kind of pipes or partially dismantled metal framework hanging over the screen. The staff are generally nice except when they're not, seats are comfortable but worn out. Popcorn is pricey but decent. It's bafflling that the theatre got a huge financial grant from the city and instead of repairing the main room and so many other details, they wasted money on things like planters outside. Saving labor by eliminating the box office and selling tickets at the concession stand can stall your access to seating, because you have to wait while everyone in front of you gets their snacks. Asking an unoccupied person behind the counter to pause whatever he's futzing with and sell you a ticket so you can move on gets a curt refusal. I'd like to see this place - and the usually nice folks who work there - succeed and thrive, and I still like the idea of going out to a movie, but for the most part, this place isn't likely to draw me away from the brighter, sharper picture on a halfway decent TV screen, except for an occasional event movie that I'd want to see when it comes out. That will still look much better when it's available to view at home.

Very stressful moment for her as my son's friends were getting dropped off and there was nothing she could do. Shame that the only theater within 30 miles is run so poorly.

I was really surprised I gave this four stars but we had a better time than we thought we would. The event was at the fair grounds. It was easy to get in and park. It was easy to get out as well. There were a lot of wineries at the event but I didn't see much chocolate. There were a lot of other vendors that had cheese or dips or moonshine or vodka etc. we bought some delicious beef jerky and dip mixes. We had fun painting our glasses and trying the wine ice cream. The lines were long to gets wine tasting but they moved quickly so we didn't mind waiting. The free Dunkin gift cards they gave us just for a selfie with the Dunkin mascot were awesome. We tried a few wines we liked and had some good laughs. All in all this was worth going to and we will go again next year if we are available. Good event check it out.

Getting in is always a bit of a cluster. I would suggest, for future events of this "alcoholic"…read moretype, that there be a "drop-off/pick-up/Uber/Lyft/Taxi" lane, and a separate entrance for those attendees to ease the flow of people as well as traffic. Once inside, there were many vendors to tantalize your taste buds with food and beverage. Baileys had a separate shot, or with coffee, of traditional and pumpkin spice. Dunkin was a lot of fun with free donut samples, a great photo spot, some pretty cool swag and a gift card for $5!! Many wine and liquor samplings from all over NYS, some new puckerings from our local stuffed pepperoni peeps, dip samples with great pricing for those surprise Holiday guests. The chocolate part of this title leaves a lot to be desired. In past years a messy fountain with insufficient quantities of options, allowed for a single dipping. This year the chocolate tidbit didn't look appetizing and I gave my ticket for the sample away. Thanks to Yelp and Galaxy Communications I and one guest attended free, along with 14 paying friends and family members. We had a good time as we do every year.

This haunt for the area is good but what made the experience so bad were the wait times... Wish they were like other haunts that sell only so many tickets for time slots. Spent more time waiting than the actual haunt. While they sell VIP tickets they are considerable more. Would have also gone earlier to ensure time to throughly enjoy the experience. My other big thing was they really are not equipped or able to handle handicapped patrons. Not enough handicapped parking and no formal process to help patrons get from parking lot at the bottom of a hill to entrance. I am recovering from a fracture and this was difficult and had I known probably would not have done this haunt. Hayride line was insane and getting on off ride was difficult at best. I have gone to some pretty amazing haunts so my bar was set high but this was not one of them....

They provide you with a plethora of activities outside your standard haunted house with movies, adrenaline rooms, vendors, food and more!
