NM Slaughter House Review (2021)

When visiting a haunted attraction actors might interact with you. At NM Slaughter House each character will happily interact with you, some you have to talk to in order to continue your journey. Each room had at least one creature awaiting your arrival. The actors in NM Slaughter House each add to the story, some will silently stalk you while others get a little more in your face. Interacting with the cast is a important part of this haunt. Make sure you say hi to grandma and grandpa for a creepy supper. No matter what I said, the characters interacted with me and responded maniacally to my questions. The variety of the characters is also impressive, ranging from creepy cowboys to demented clowns to a very friendly family.

From the moment you enter you can hear the thunder and see the lightning flashing and blinding you. Each scene has eerie music and sounds to add to the believability. Each scene is detailed, wandering through the lightning lit forest you come upon a full house. Every room fits the theme from the house to the neighborhood. Each scene is incredibly detailed, from the kitchen looking like one your grandparents would have to the butcher shop to the demented circus. Wandering on my journey it was easy to get lost in the experience I forgot I was in a haunt and just was excited to explore and discover what terror awaited me in the next room. The animatronics that were spread out were also very well-timed and effective, adding to the intensity. The sound effects from the sets and actors alike were perfectly timed and bone chilling.

When venturing into NM Slaughter House it was easy to discover that you had stumbled upon a family’s farm that hid some disturbing secrets. Each room flowed into the next, it seemed like they built an entire house in this corner of a mall. Scares came from every direction and I experienced one of the best startle scares I have ever seen. I also greatly appreciated that this haunt allowed the intensity build up before you have a big scare. NM Slaughter House also had a very intense and interactive finale, I am interested to see if the haunt offers others.

NM Slaughter House is an awesome attraction, with so many different rooms to explore I could see someone visiting this haunt multiple times and discovering new areas to explore. This haunt reminded me of a demented version of Meow Wolf in that you could really dig into the story. At one point I must have spent at least 20 minutes talking to grandma and grandpa over a truly disturbing dinner that I forgot I was in a haunt talking to the other guests that were invited to dinner. I never had the experience of thinking of what to say to the actors to continue to the next room. After experiencing the haunt I can understand why they have the safe word and have people forfeit due to how intense and interactive this haunt is. The price is also great considering how long you can take to experience this haunt. I also like that the only way you can make sure you don’t get separated from your group is by purchasing and handcuffing your group together. This haunt also uses every inch of space they have to make sure they maximize the scare factor. I highly recommend this haunt to anyone who wants to experience an intense choose your own haunt experience.
