The Sundown Manor - CLOSEDFear Farm HauntHauntHaunted houseI absolutely.Loved the build on this. It was quite beautiful when walking up to it. Inside of it was full of spooky goodness. Great props and lots of monsters that were ready for you.
Reichland Asylum [prev. Human Roast House] - Closing Oct 4Reichland AsylumHauntHaunted houseYard displayVery impressive for a yard haunt. Very detailed starting at the beginning at the front yard, going into the backyard and sideyard. Every inch of it was covered in props and an incredible amount of scare actors. Lots of details went into this and it shows it was incredible.And we will come back for more next year.
WidowsKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI love the story line, the build Is very detailed, dark, creepy and lots of spiders, a great mixture. Lots of scare actors at every turn. It takes a good amount of time to get through. Really original on the idea for the story line. I have a knotts scary farm pass and I go to this everytime. Absolutely love this one.
The Realm of Shadow - Closing Oct 4Realm of ShadowHauntHaunted houseWe have gone to this for several years. This year it was set us a bit difference at times it was confusing of where to go. What looked like a end at one point was a tight squeeze to go around it. Several times we didn't know where to go and the scare actors had to tell us where to go. The staff while waiting was very nice. Talent was good and great props.
Realm Of The Supernatural - CLOSEDThe Haunted RoseHauntHaunted houseWe have gone to the haunted rose since it was a home haunt. It's come a long way. Last year it moved to the whittier museum. Last was good, this year was even better. A few tricks up their sleeves, be sure to pay attention during a certain scene. The build is fantastic and the museum mixed with their maze props works very well together. Scare actors were on their game and ready for you. They interact with you as well scare you. A must do. Tickets were $10 and worth it. If you go on Oct 28 and 29th they will have vendors, hearse's and entertainment. Mudd the magician will be performing on the 29th, if you haven't seen him, you are in for a treat.
Twisted Dreams Haunt - Closing Oct 4Twisted Dreams Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseMazeThis was my 2nd going. Home haunt that is in their backyard this year. Slightly smaller than last year where it was in the backyard and garage. Still packs a punch those. Nice props and scares actors do a nice job and are ready to scare you. They take donations.
Shady Pines Asylum: The Escape [2023] - Closing Oct 4Dark Harvest - Garden GroveHauntHaunted houseWay shorter than expected. It just got going and it was over. Felt like a $10 maze. Much better, longer and detailed last year. I find it so strange when a that was good last year seemed to go backwards and be the complete opposite. Felt very basic.
OC Nightmare [Season 2023] - CLOSEDOC NightmareHauntHaunted houseVery disappointed and unorganized, got there at opening, we were the first in line and they were not ready. Waited 20 minutes while they ran around trying to get ready. Was not worth the price should have been about a ten dollar haunt. I felt like as soon as it just got started it was over. Too short and not enough scare actors. Not scary at all. Also we stood there waiting to buy tickets and were never acknowledged even though we were right in front of the table directly in front of them.
Mansion of Lost Souls - Closing Oct 4Mansion of Lost SoulsHauntHaunted houseThis is a great unique haunt that we have done for about 6 years now. Always a fave. They have a few awesome tricks up their sleeves at this one and they use doors for each new room so you do not know what's coming at all. They also have built this out of shipping containers but it works out extremely well. Thre are scare actors within the line to keep you entertained. The clown girl pictured was amazing. I highly suggest this one.
Cinema SlasherKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseReally great that they named the movies from past mazes. My favorite part is the concession stand, I won't give it away but it works well. Takes a while to walk through and I enjoy every minute of it.
Mesmer: Sideshow Of The MindKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseCircus meets magic, perfect in everyday. A classic with exceptional talent. The characters are well thought up from head to toe.
The Chilling ChambersKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI have attended scary farm for 38 years in a row. This maze was like visiting old friends. Me and my hubby were grinning from ear to ear. Beautifully built, lots of talent and details. All the sounds that brought it all back to me. Simply stunning. My favorite maze this year.
The Depths - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI miss the elevator they had the first year as you werevtaken down the mines. But the set up still works. There are some fantastic features and sounds, talent is great.
Wax Works - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseBackground story is straight out of a horror movie. Creepy and unsettling. brilliantly played. A must do everything we go
The Grimoire - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseLike this maze but I think it's time for a refresh. Takes time to go through, great sets and props.
Bloodline 1842 - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseLet me say this first, I miss the guns, it brought so much energy to this maze. It's still a beautifully built maze with a fun talent. The music is fantastic, the costumes spot on, great size and walk through flow.
Room 13Knott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI like it but don't love it. The atmosphere doesn't seem to change much and the same music through out doesn't help. It's like a slow zombie march of music. It has some good points like the bar scene. The line needs to be reworked. The first time we went on it we could not find the line and it took over 2 hours. Line control let 20 to 30 front of the line in for every 2 people in the Normal line. I still like it just don't love it.
Dark Entities - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI want to like this maze and as much as I try, it just falls very flat. It feels outdated and not enough talent. I give it a chance every year but alas it just doesn't work.
Dark Ride: Castle of Chaos - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseI hated to see this one go. I honestly would never tire of it. It was outstanding, every bit of it. The talent fantastic, especially the ending scene, it was always a wow moment. The music fit it perfectly and the talent was a bang. The dark ride set was believable.
Pumpkin Eater - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseThe sounds of the drippy gutted pumpkins and the hanging seeds within were a chilling creepy effect. Enjoyed it every year. Yes it's gone but not forgotten.
