The Funhouse Haunted House Review (2026)

Located in the old Planet Fitness inside of Pueblo Mall, The Funhouse is a breeze to get to with your map app of choice. For those not familiar with the layout of the Pueblo Mall, the haunt is located on the west side of the mall. The Funhouse is operated by Jared, his family, and his friends, who are all looking to spread their love of Halloween to the rest of the city. That sense of family permeates the air, giving customer service the personal touch that’s hard to replicate. Tickets are available online or at the haunt, and run $15 per person.

Given the set up of the haunt, guests are sent in just as the previous group is about halfway through. While that ensures that conga lines are never formed in the haunt, it does cause a line to enter. Dedicated queue actors and other entertainment would help liven up the line and pass the time while complimenting the spooky lighting and fun decor that already greets guests as they enter the area.

The exterior of the haunt featured a sign for the attraction and some mood lighting, which helped highlight the spot and set the mood from the moment guests arrive. Once guests enter the door, the haunt vibe is readily apparent with a large photo op and graveyard stocked with some animatronics, pumpkins, and headstones. The theme is all about eclectic entertainment, and that’s exactly what’s delivered. Guests first encounter a fortune teller who then looses them to a feline friend with a haberdashery habit who accompanies guests through the next couple of areas, one of which provides the best scare of the attraction. After that, visitors find themselves praising pork, making a run for the portapotty, and attempting an escape from the undead. Each of those dedicated areas was situated around a larger open space in the center that our minds tended to wander to between encounters. After navigating the menagerie of fun and horror, we encountered the final curtain before we knew it. The wide variety of interactions, areas, and actors brings this assorted amusement full circle!

The special effects at The Funhouse are spellbinding and various. Some of the areas feature specialized lighting and sound, while others areas rely entirely on human power. Walking from vignette to vignette, the senses are engaged in sights of mechanical creatures, curated lighting, and various sound effects. The scene design was simple but effective. For instance, one haunted area that had a big impact offered the right amount of decor to sell the setting as the bedroom of a young child, and the cast handled the rest from there. Other areas featured some impressive yet familiar animatronics to help occupy some of the space and impose some height.
