2003 Event Reviews

Overall very disappointing; many actors/spooks were under the age of 18. Instead of blood-curling screams, I got blood-curling yelps. No good scares.

When a new haunt shows up I am always excited to check them out so Sunday night my wife and I visited “Halls of Bedlam”. The outside of the place looked cool with large posters of their logo hung up and lit with a strobe. You pay your money and are given a coin to get into the haunt. I thought that was kind of different so we proceeded to walk down the hallway to give the guy our coin. The “coin” actor was pretty good when we could hear him but unfortunately another actor close by was pounding on the walls so hard we could not make out what he was saying. From this point on the house went nowhere. The halls were lit up so much that you could see where the scares were coming from, what little scare there was. Most of the actors thought that standing in your way and not letting you pass is scary. It is not scary at all it is very irritating. Several of the monsters also need to practice better personal hygiene. It was only 7:30 when we went through so they were only working for 1-½ hours but some had very bad B.O. The worse part of the whole house (and I am not making this up) was when one of there actors wanted to French kiss me. Sorry guys but Gay monsters are not scary no matter what you believe. I should have went back in and talked to the management of the place but by the time I exited I was so pissed off by the whole experience I just needed to get out of there. Sorry but due to my experience I cannot recommend this haunt to anyone, it was a big disappointment.

They have really cool ideas they just need to work on there acting somemore.

Disappointing. The worst haunt I have been to this year! Don't waste your money!

I could not believe how scary this haunted house was. The house was actually in an old nunnary ... which is famous for its REAL hauntings! It was frightning before we even went in. Plus they let our group go seperately, with no one else which made it more enjoyable. The graphics, among so many different "surprises" were amazing. Walking in the dark down a large hallway in an old nunnary is frightening enough without the added scares! I don't know if others experiences will be different, but the monsters do get a little "touchy feely" ... I had a chainsaw all over me ... I was scared! It is slightly out of the way, but worth the drive!

Was a lot of fun, didn't enjoy the amount of dark hallways you needed to walk through. Also we were forced to go with another group that was pretty rude to the actors and really destroyed the experience! I don't know if it's the cool thing to do, but all the "wise cracks" get pretty annoying.

loved the loud heavy metal music but the sound system could of been used for better sound effects

The train ride was a little boring. It started off great, but when you see all the actors you tend to blank them out when they scare you multiple times. I especially liked the polka dot room. The huge monster was very impressive. My only grudge I guess would be that some of the actors may have needed to "step it up"

I wish it was like 45 min to see what else they could come up with everything was pretty tight

the props were horrible

GREAT JOB! it's about time dead by dawn productions comes back to have a better haunted house than splatter haus! You guys are great every year. But this one is more creative and you don't use technology to scare customers. you use natural things, tallent and creativity. GREAT JOB! can't wait till next years!!!

make sure you're at the front of the group or you can miss alot. groups bunched together alot. need more time between. super dark, walls in hall very close together--up & down was cool--super awesome music.
