Halls of Horror Review (2026)

Upon arrival, we entered the address listed online into our GPS, and it brought us directly to the attraction without any issues. One thing to keep in mind is that Halls of Horror is located in a small town, so there is no dedicated parking lot. Guests will need to find street parking nearby before walking to the attraction.

As we approached the entrance, we were greeted by friendly employees who directed us through the check-in process. Before entering, everyone was required to sign a waiver and select which experience they wanted to participate in. If your group decides to split between the Blood Pass and the Original Experience, be aware that the attraction will separate your group. This is done to prevent guests choosing the Original Experience from getting covered in blood or experiencing elements included with the Blood Pass.

While waiting outside, we encountered one queue-line actor who helped keep the atmosphere going. There were also several interesting props and displays around the entrance area that gave us something to look at while waiting. We were impressed with how well the attraction managed the flow of guests. Even though groups were entering, we never caught up to the group ahead of us, which helped maintain the pacing and immersion throughout the experience.

One thing we did notice was that there is currently only a single ticket line and no dedicated VIP entrance. While this wasn’t an issue during our visit, it could potentially create longer wait times on busier nights.

Once inside the attraction, one of the first things you’ll notice is the collection of signs and themed displays scattered throughout the experience. They helped set the tone and added personality to the attraction right from the start.

We quickly realized that Halls of Horror is located beneath another business, leading us to assume that the space is rented and transformed into a haunt each season. Fortunately, this never took away from the atmosphere. The attraction was decorated well enough that we rarely thought about the building itself, and the background music helped create a creepy environment.

Rather than following a single storyline, the attraction features a variety of themes and scenarios throughout the experience. Each room feels different from the last, which keeps the immersion going because you never know what you’ll encounter next. One moment you’re in one environment, and the next you’re stepping into something completely different.

There were a few areas where we noticed some exposed black walls that stood out and slightly broke the immersion. However, the actors, set pieces, and overall scene design more than made up for these shortcomings. The performers’ energy and the rooms’ creativity kept us engaged and focused on the experience rather than the areas that lacked theming.

Halls of Horror relies much more on its actors than on elaborate special effects, and honestly, that’s perfectly fine with us. We have always enjoyed old-school haunted attractions, and this haunt embraces that style. Rather than overwhelming guests with animatronics and flashy effects, it focuses on creating scares through its performers, atmosphere, and room-to-room interactions.

The soundtrack and audio throughout the attraction helped support the different themes, although we felt some scenes could have benefited from slightly louder music and sound effects. Even so, we really enjoyed the type of music they chose for many of the rooms, as it matched the atmosphere and helped set the mood for each scene.

Many of the props throughout the attraction felt realistic and authentic, which added to the overall immersion. Instead of relying solely on Halloween decorations, the attraction incorporated actual equipment and furnishings into its sets. For example, we encountered a stainless-steel operating table and even a real barber chair, both of which helped make their respective scenes feel more believable. These types of details may seem small, but they go a long way toward making an old-school haunt feel genuine and lived-in.

Where the hell do we even start? The actors throughout this attraction are dedicated to their roles, and they are some of the funniest actors we have ever encountered in a haunted attraction. There were several moments where we were laughing so hard that we were literally crying.

One of the first interactions we had was with a guy who claimed he had let his dog out of its cage. The twist? The dog was actually another actor. Before we knew it, this “dog” was chasing our group through a hallway, creating one of the funniest and most unexpected moments of the night.

We also met a barber who immediately started asking members of our group what needed to be cut. He stayed completely in character the entire time, making the interaction feel natural and adding even more personality to the attraction. You may just end up in that chair…

Then we came across the doctors. They convinced one member of our group to lay down on an operating table for a procedure. What happened next had us absolutely losing it. The doctors lifted up his legs, turned on a vacuum cleaner, stuck it near his ass, and proudly announced that they had “sucked the shit out of him.” To finish the scene, they threw fake poop onto his chest. The smell was absolutely awful, but it made the entire scene even funnier. It was so ridiculous and unexpected that our entire group was crying from laughter.

The hilarious interactions didn’t stop there. Another scene that had our entire group cracking up took place inside an ice cream parlor. The actor running the scene made us all sit down before deciding to focus his attention on one unlucky member of our group. Without warning, he slapped a handful of shaving cream right into his face. As if that wasn’t funny enough, he then pulled out a tiny plastic hand and started rubbing the shaving cream around while whispering into our ears, asking, “Do you like that big boy?” The commitment to the bit was absolutely ridiculous, and we were laughing the entire time.

Another standout moment came when we met Bob Ross. Instead of painting on a traditional canvas, he informed us that he needed a new surface to finish his masterpiece. Naturally, he decided that the backs of our shirts would work perfectly. Watching him “paint” on our group members while staying completely in character made for another hilarious and unforgettable interaction.

These are the types of moments that make Halls of Horror different from many other haunted attractions. Rather than relying solely on scares, the actors create unique experiences through improvisation, audience participation, and completely absurd situations. You never know what is going to happen next, which keeps the experience entertaining from beginning to end.

While Halls of Horror is known more for its actors and interactions than nonstop jump scares, there were still some genuinely effective scares throughout the attraction. The very first scene set the tone immediately. We found ourselves standing in a completely pitch-black room with no idea what was around us. Out of nowhere, an actor suddenly appeared, screaming at us, catching our entire group off guard and delivering one of the biggest scares of the night.

We also encountered several classic startle scares along the way. One of the most effective came from Cleatus, who unexpectedly smacked a barrel, creating a loud bang that made us jump. Moments like these were scattered throughout the attraction and helped keep everyone on edge.

What makes the scares here different from a traditional haunted house is that many of them are psychological rather than purely visual. Since actors are allowed to interact with and occasionally touch guests, there is a constant sense of uncertainty about what might happen next. The attraction puts visitors into awkward, uncomfortable, and sometimes downright bizarre situations that force you to participate rather than simply walk through and watch. That unpredictability creates a different type of fear and tension that you don’t find at most haunted attractions.

The combination of physical interaction, psychological pressure, and unexpected scenarios keeps you guessing from room to room. Even when you aren’t being directly scared, you’re constantly wondering what the next actor is going to do, and that alone is enough to keep your guard up throughout the experience.

One thing to keep in mind before visiting is that Halls of Horror does not sell tickets online. All tickets must be purchased at the attraction, although they do accept both cash and card payments. The Original Experience costs $27, while the Blood Pass costs $47.

It took us a total of 34 minutes to complete the attraction, which honestly surprised us. Going into the experience, we expected it to be much shorter than it was. Instead, there was a steady stream of interactions, scenes, and actor-driven moments that kept the experience moving and made the time fly by.

Halls of Horror is truly a hidden gem. It may not have the massive budget, giant sets, or high-tech special effects that some larger attractions have, but it more than makes up for that with its actors, creativity, and willingness to push boundaries. There are plenty of raunchy, vulgar, and outrageous moments throughout the attraction that we intentionally won’t spoil because discovering them for yourself is part of the fun.

If you’re considering the Blood Pass, be prepared to get messy. This isn’t the type of upgrade where you simply get a few extra scenes. The Blood Pass fully embraces the attraction’s extreme nature, and there’s a very good chance you’ll leave wearing part of the experience. For fans of interactive, adult-oriented haunted attractions, that added level of immersion is exactly what makes Halls of Horror stand out from the crowd.
