  • Haunt Review: Madame Tussauds After Dark!

    Wax museums have a long history in horror and the macabre. If fact, one could say the whole point of a wax museum is to stimulate the weird notion of the “living dead” by seeing non-living representations of famous or infamous people, but in a fashion that makes them seem “alive”. As such, a wax…

  • Philadelphia Haunted House: Fright Factory Review 2011

    We visited Fright Factory in 2011 with our friends Amber and Isaiah. Fright Factory is a haunted attraction in Philadelphia that had 4 attractions for 2011: iChem Industries, Philadelphia Haunted Asylum Tours, Undercroft Cemetary, and Amygdala. We had gone to FF before and had some issues with it. Since then, they have redone the place.…

  • Behind the Scenes at Busch Gardens Howl O Scream 2011

    If you’d like to read my review of Busch Gardens Tampa’s Howl O Scream 2011, click here. As usual, Harknell and I had a blast. We have been traveling all the way from New Jersey for this for 3 years now. It would have been 4 years if I hadn’t been the idiot who thought…

  • Shocktoberfest in Sinking Spring, PA

    Shocktoberfest in Sinking Spring, PA was one of the best haunts we have ever been to. The haunt consists of: – Prison of the Dead – Biohazard Hayride – The Unknown (New for 2011) They also have Club Shock: Ghouls Gone Wild – a dance club in the tent that covers the queue for the…

  • Haunt Review: Frightland in Middletown, DE

    Cut to the chase: Frightland is, in our opinion, the worst haunt we’ve been to, ever. That was a bit harsh right? But it’s unfortunately true for our experience. Before I go through the reasons we really didn’t like this event, let me give some basic info on it. Frightland is located in Delaware and…

  • American Horror Theater and Blackout NYC

    The Guardian wrote an article about American Horror Theatre. They cover all of the northeastern haunts I’ve done. They talk a lot about Blackout NYC, which I haven’t done. We really don’t care to do this one. Both Harknell and I go to haunts to escape from real life horrors and stress. Blackout of more…

  • Haunt Review: Steampunk Haunted House NYC

    To say that Oni and I were amazed by the quality and concept of the Steampunk Haunted House in New York City would be an understatement. Our first time through the haunt we were given press passes, the second time we paid ourselves (so consider that a spoiler for how highly we thought of this…

  • Haunt Review: Nightmare Fairy Tales

    Oni and I were invited and given press passes to visit Nightmare: Fairy Tales, a haunted attraction in New York City and we did so on November 3rd, 2011. Nightmare has been running for a few years, and uses the phrase “New York’s Most Horrifying Haunted House” as it’s description–let’s talk about how well that…

  • Lulu’s House of Horrors in Sinking Spring, PA review

    Lulu’s House of Horrors is a yearly fundraiser for the Lulu Shriners in Plymouth Meeting, PA. This is a small haunt, but well worth your time. Imagine if you will, a haunt put together by your Dad with CLASSIC haunt techniques that you will not see anywhere else. Imagine if a rich man went all…

  • Blood Manor in New York City review

    I have to admit to being cynical. I didn’t intend to go to any haunts in NYC. As much as I love NYC, events held in here tend to be crowded and expensive. You can spot someone from NYC in any club in the country because they have a unique dancing style that involves keeping…
