Unique experience
It was such a unique experience. The lines were long, but the actors and DJ kept us entertained. The 3D haunted house was awesome. You got to walk through a little through the haunted house to get to the escape rooms. The puzzles to get out were a bit crazy. Our team failed to solve it. I will have a crack at it during my next visit. The staff was cool and friendly. Entry fee was not prohibitive. Check it out.

Email Verified Creepy walkthroughs
Visited the haunt on the event of my GF’s birthday. We had great fun in the haunted houses. The first one had scary interiors, creepy walkthroughs, and scary props. Each room had a different creepy theme and associated scares. Few of the jump scares got us totally off guard. The 3D haunted house was cool. But, personally, I liked the first one more for its scare factor. We did not survive the escape room. But we had lots of fun. The actors were passionate and seemed to love their job very much. Ticket prices were cheap as well. Recommend this haunt to all scare lovers out there.

TERRIFIC! The set was beautifully designed and the haunts looked like an asylum. The florescent and strobe lights will make matters worse and the props, actors jump at you scaring the hell out of you. Don’t forget to hold hands.

Good Scares
This was one of the best haunted house I have ever been to. We never got bored waiting in the line. There was good load of entertainment with DJ music, dance and monsters and clowns on the prowl. We got to click photos with them. It was quite scary and long enough and got our moneys worth of scares. The actors we truly amazing. They had their act presented really well. Good histrionics and was a pleasure watching them. Great place.

Nerve wracking scares
AMAZING. The haunted house had creepy sets and nerve wracking scares. Everything was realistic down to small details. Each room had its own theme and scares. Some rooms were so creepy that I only looked at the floor. There were numerous twists and turns that will leave you confused. Great place to get scared.

Email Verified Had a great time
I and hubby had a great time at the Basement. The lines were a bit long. Even with VIP passes, we had to wait for 30 minutes to get inside the haunt. The first haunted house had creepy sets, and bone-chilling scares and props. Few of the jump scares made me scream. Actors’ costumes/makeup were well done. The 3D haunted house was amazing to say the least. But few more actors there would have made it more entertaining. Escape rooms were challenging as expected. Ticket prices were reasonable. Staff were friendly as well. I will come again with my kids.

Perfectly timed
We had a great time at the basement of dead. Went there with a few of my friends. Most of us liked it . The scenes, actors and props were all top class. We liked how the scenes were set and on the whole how the set is designed. It was all quite unique you have not seen in other haunt houses. The scenes were perfectly timed with ample spacing of groups. Never miss this for anything else. Super, will come back.

One of the best haunt house ever visited
It was one of the best haunt house and we all loved it. It was like a carnival in the waiting area with music, food, drinks and lots going on. Once inside you will have to face the terrors of zombies and clowns. They had two haunts. The second glass was even more challenging. It was dark and needed a black flash light to navigate. It’s themed around evil clowns and the actors did a fine job. A superb experience and we had a great time. Will not miss this for anything else.

Dark and Spooky
Dark and spooky. The haunted house had some nice scares. But over-reliance on animatronics can’t be missed. More scare actors inside would have made it even better. The rooms had different scary themes and hidden scares. My GF screamed whenever a scare occurred. The walkthroughs was really creepy. The 3D thing in the second haunted house was really cool. Actors did their job well. Recommend this place.

Email Verified The Scary Night Out
We had the blast of our life in Basement of the Dead Haunt. It had a huge lot of scares!!! AWESOME!!! The 3D part was really crowded and was one of the best attractions here. The haunts, the props, and actors were all absolutely top class and the best!!! I must say waiting in the queue was also entertaining and fun as the staff and the DJ were taking care to keep us entertained all the time. Great job guys!

Email Verified Best Experience
Truly the best! I must say that the actors outside the house looked scarier than the ones inside it. The sounds effects were loud and so creepy. The DJ made sure to keep us entertained in the lines which were by far the best part of this place. I also enjoyed the live zombie hunt which was real entertaining. The actors, makeup, setup, props everything was top notch. I will be definitely coming back with my friends and family.

Email Verified Scariest House ever
Our visit to the Basement of the Dead Haunted House was the scariest of all the haunted houses we had been visiting so far. It was fun and scary. They had tons of scares and actors appointed. The haunt was mostly in the dark and was very scary. The actors were great in their makeup and costumes and the best amongst them all was the actor dressed as a serpent creature who looked very creepy. Good place to have fun and hear you scream. I will be coming back for sure.
