2015 Factory of Fear Haunted Attraction Event Reviews

It was very fun. I recommend the laser tag game with 4 people. Times were scary and fun. Well worth it!

Awesome service! Prices are great! I had a amazing time.

This haunted house was differnt.. They had and indoor waiting area with characters right there ready to entertain you ,right after that they send you upstairs to the zombie laser tag. This is quite an experience,in my opinion I think when a zombie dies they should be out of the game just like if we get infected our house gets closed, but it was a lot of fun. My mom and I really enjoyed it then they took us to the next part of the haunted house which was the actual haunted house. The best part was when we first walked in and got to interact with mrs. Bones. I am wondering how does she know what to say when. Some of the actors make up was very good. However there were others that could of used more or differnt. I was a little nervous to go thru the children of the corn room. Overall it was a good experience. I dont want to tell all but the Maze was amazing (lol).

Went here for the first time last night and we had a blast! But let me for warn anyone planning to attend this haunt that we had to wait 2 hours to get in!!! So plan accordingly. We got there at 8:30 and entered in the wait area after purchasing our wristbands for all three attractions. They had a new paging system that sent us a text when we were getting close to going. I thought that was pretty cool because we had the option to leave if we wanted and come back once we received the second text. We opted to wait it out... We first did the Zombie Masscre laser tag game. It was a lot of fun! I've never seen anything like that in a haunted house and thought it pretty clever and different! I totally felt like we were in a Call of Duty game! The next maze was really good! I LOVED the actors... They were really creepy and into their roles and placed very well throughout the haunt. I really liked how they interacted with you and didn't just give you a stare or what they may think is a scary face. It didn't have much animated props but that's the way I liked it... Made it much more believable! I'm not telling any part of it because I don't want to spoil it for anyone! The scenes were pretty well done and not too cheesy. The second maze "Blind Madness" was a great extra add. Didn't have too many actors in it but why would you need so many actors in a pitch black maze anyway? I almost forgot to mention that they let us go with our group only. As a matter of fact there were 7 of us and let split us up 4 & 3. We really liked that as we didn't have to be thrown in with strangers and got to enjoy the whole haunt alone with NO conga line due to them spacing us out very well! This was a great haunt over all!

So I went on a camping trip this weekend with a few friends, one of whom is just as into haunted houses as I am. We got tickets for "Devil's Nightmare" (the haunted house portion), "Blind Madness" (the pitch black maze), the coffin simulator & their new "Zombie Massacre" (interactive laser tag).

I have to say this experience was the highlight of my trip.

I'll throw out the only two criticisms I have though first: 1) the coffin simulator is in the waiting area and there's a black & white camera angled on your face which broadcasts on a small tv screen next to the coffin -- basically people waiting to get in are able to watch your reaction(s) as you go through the simulator ride. We didn't really like that element so we opted out (definitely more just a matter of personal comfort thresholds there though). 2) The "Blind Madness" maze was more funny than scary to us. There were a few great surprises but mostly we were worried about getting disoriented (we got disoriented anyway) and hitting the walls too hard (which we did anyway & broke a couple nails in the process lol). We kept bantering/bickering at each other about which way to go too so that was pretty campy & funny. The very end of the maze was A+ though and found us screaming and laughing in equal measure (well, more the former first and the latter immediately after).

These two things pale in comparison to the absolute blast we had overall though. The haunted house itself was totally thrilling. Without giving too much away, the sections of the haunted house featuring taller-than-normal actors was SUCH an AWESOME surprise. Freaked the hell out of me because I did NOT see it coming. Furthermore, I flipped out when I got to the section that referenced a certain horror flick. That movie scared me so much when I was a teen - I can't explain how much respect I have for that flick and, by proxy, this haunted house for featuring that segment.

Last but not least, my FAVORITE activity of the night - apparently it was new this year : The Zombie Massacre interactive laser tag game. It seriously left my friend and I sweaty and adrenaline-punched for the rest of the night because we were SO into it. I think it only lasted about five minutes but so much happened in those five minutes. My friend and I have known each other for well over ten years and so one of the best aspects of this game was the level of natural teamwork and camaraderie it pulled out in us, where we were gleefully freaked out but basically in it to win it (which we did btw), super amped and ready to kill us some zombies and make sure our little cabin room's windows stayed boarded up. Favorite parts of the laser tag game: 1) while my friend was reloading I was watching her windows and suddenly my friend screamed my name and I felt a hand scrabbling at my shoulder. I twisted, ducked a bit, and shot upwards at the zombie that'd managed to get his entire arm through the window to touch me. It was such a friggin awesome rush of fear seeing that he'd managed to reach out that far while I hadn't been looking -- I got him within one or two shots & managed to get the board right back up. 2) While I reloaded, watching my friend holding a board up against the window against a zombie as she tried to shoot him at the same time. She also started shouting one-liners after each kill like "HEADSHOT! YEAH!" lol

Needless to say, it was basically one of the coolest experiences we've ever had at a haunted house (and we've been to many, many haunted houses).

Minor things that make all the difference: the security and staff were A+ friendly and on task. The entire warehouse location was perfect - set design was superb (the lighting! OMG you people the LIGHTING was fantastic!) - the actors and actresses never broke roles... best of all though, the actors and actresses never over-talked. They were damn good and creepy -- they didn't heckle you or engage with you too much. I've been to places like that and the heckling/overtalking can get relatively cheesy - you start to register their voices & recognize they're actors, not actually ghouls or lunatics with chainsaws, etc. This was nothing like that. This was basically perfect & super-respectable fear tactics of tense fearful anticipation, wonderful surprises, and spooky as hell settings.

Last thing: I LOVED that my friend and I were allowed to go alone (just the two of us) through the haunted house. I don't know if that's standard or not but I can't tell you how many Haunted House experiences we've had where the strangers in our group are rather incompatible with the way we want to enjoy the haunted house. It ranges from fake-over-screamers to genuinely-terrified-people-who-don't-seem-like-they're-having-a-good-time to obnoxious-hecklers-at-the-actors (one time we had a guy who kept "white-knight" telling us what was going to happen next "so we wouldn't be scared" and it literally ruined our experience; we didn't really have the time as we went through the thing to tell him politely to leave us alone). The two of us, on our own, years of friendship, have an understanding: get spooked, try to find where Scary Thing is, scream in fright when Scary Thing happens, & laugh our asses off as we move to the next section to start the whole thing over again. It was SO NICE to be able to do that together and enjoy the hell out of everything without the distraction of strangers in our group.

All in all 5/5 best Haunted House experience I've ever had. Y'all are nailing it.
