Email Verified Very Scary! Great Haunt!
We had an incredibly enjoyable experience during our visit. It marked our inaugural time at this haunted house, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. The 3D segment of the tour was a particular highlight for us, and in the clown area, Steph had to cover her ears to brave the eerie atmosphere.

It was my first time here and we liked it. The scenes were nightmarish and the scares were spot on. Lighting and animatronics were superb. It gelled well with scenes. It's a great place for a good scare. Definitely recommend.

Best entertainment....
I loved the scares in Basement of dead. It was unique and lots of scope for some scary excitement. It was crowded and all we could hear and see was the excitement outside and screaming from inside. The location was nice and the outdoor haunts were really good. The scares were detailed and scenes used cool props and animatronics. It was the best kind of entertainment for me and my family.

Terrifying attraction
Amazing scares, found myself screaming and laughing quite often. It was awkward and funny. There was quite an effort to make it look scary and haunting. The props were gory and creatively used to create the fear factor. A terrifying attraction worth every penny.

One of the best...
I visit most of the haunts during the Halloween season. Basement of the dead was one of the best. It really wasn’t what I had expected. We did not survive the escape room which was the only disappointment. Else everything was top notch. Cool props and smart actors. Technology and design were all used to create a fear factor and it worked. There was a ritual room which had some voodoo kind of magic. It was really awesome.

Awesome scares
So much fun! Very scary. The actors were interactive and doing their best to create awesome scares. Gory makeup and costume made things worse.

Damn scary
It was actually really good and pretty damn scary. The actors are awesome and engaging. Surprise scares are what get me most of the time. A great mix of scare, fun and laughter.

Email Verified Highly Recommended
I with a group of friends were planning to visit a haunted house. Then, one of my cousins mentioned about Basement of the Dead Haunt and how good his last visit was. So we drove 2 ½ hours to reach the haunt and it was indeed scary fun. The DJ playing Michael Jacksons Thriller while we were waiting in the line was a different experience. The 3D section was really amazing. The live zombie hunt was very terrifying. I have never screamed like this in my life. My favourite was the Clown House. Creepy clowns there would freak you out. Costumes and makeup of actors stood out. I give the score 8/10 to this house. Loved the visit. Recommended!

Email Verified Escape Room Very Challenging
One of the scariest haunted houses I had been to. The Trauma escape rooms was really challenging. The riddles and puzzles really confused us before we eventually made our way out. Character Joe and the ice cream clown was very frightening. In most of the haunted houses I had visited, there was only 1 or 2 clowns. But here there was a plenty of clowns. Special effects were really awesome. The Wizard event was a good experience. The Valentine’s Day, St Patty’s Day and Easters Event were fantastic too. The spinning mad hatter room was really a classic touch. The most interesting part was the zombie shootout. It was fun chasing and shooting zombies. But be careful not to exhaust your ammo. I suggest this to anyone who likes to get scared. I will visit again.
