Amazing Halloween Night

I visited this attraction on a weekend and had a blast! Very unassuming from the front. It was great frightening moments and the scenes were staged well. The animatronics played an important role and also the audio. I got startled now and then. Amazing Halloween Night!

Terrified

VERIFIED

One of my favourite haunts to go to. There are 2 terrifying attractions one was the washroom where you are given one flashlight per group. It’s really a haunting experience. We all were grabbing the hands of the one who has the light because if she runs away, we all are done and have to navigate in dark that’s so scary even to think. The second one was the amnesia ward where only psychos and lunatics were seen. Both were unique experience thanks for the team for such wonderful creativity.

Super energetic

VERIFIED

I will definitely give 5 stars for this place. Scares were intense and actors super energetic. It was like a live horror experience and survived. Wished it could be a little longer. Will definitely come again.

Excellent performance

There were two attractions and we had a great time exploring the two. The houses were decorated with attention to all details. They had the scares planned meticulously. The scenes were excellent and had a story. Both the houses had different themes. It was unique. Actors their acts played their part with brilliance. Good use of props added richness to the scenes. We were holding hands else we could get lost the mayhem and darkness. The actors were never tired till the end. Had a fun filled evening with family and friends.

Definitely love it...

VERIFIED

I don’t know why people gives one star for this place. To be honest, we loved it. Of course, it’s not possible to scare everyone who visits but they really tried their best to scare each and every soul that entered and its clearly visible. Some people only like extreme scares but for some just a startle is enough to enjoy. Some likes to be chased but some on seeing itself gets terrified. So we cannot judge an attraction with negative reviews. In this case ignore the negatives and enjoy yourself you will love it.

Fun and fear overloaded

VERIFIED

It was fun and fear overloaded at this place!! We visited during the last week with the entire family. A lot of changes from the previous year. It was reasonably priced for the general admission category. There were two haunt houses and both were scary in its unique way. They had a unique theme and the actors complemented it so well. Visuals were great and sound effect was alarming. Definitely recommend, will pay a visit again.

Amazing fun!!

Amazing fun with just the perfect amount of "scare!" Props were scary and with great precision. You may never be able to make out if it wasn’t real. The animatronics was a treat.

Best use of props

You want to get a good scare and also have fun during the Halloween. Then, surely visit this place. You are in for a surprise. The scares were decent and we got to enjoy them first hand. Though it was crowded and they were long lines, the staff sent in small teams in a staggered manner. The house was beautiful yet evoked fear. They had the best use of props. Went there with friends and we came out feeling scared.

We have been to several haunts before but this was none like others amazingggg.... Dedicated actors and they are doing their best to entertain and scare the people. Atmosphere itself was very creepy and there are surprises on every turn. You will definitely love it.

Indeed, the overloaded experience

What this place don’t have!! Mind blowing performance of the actors and they don’t leave a single moment to scare all of us. I really enjoyed the Plastic Surgeon with the scariest of faces I’ve ever seen in those creepy horror movies. Well chaotic rooms and finding ghosts with the flashlight was a damn cool haunting experience one would always remember. Kudos to management. Indeed, the overloaded experience.

scariest haunt...wonderful experience

It was truly an overloaded experience. We screamed from the very beginning and till the end of our voyage in the rooms. The best part is the bathroom crawler and all actors were in scariest of all looks in their outfits. Best Halloween night experience at an economical cost.

challenge your strength against the fear

VERIFIED

Don’t go of you have a history of heart attacks, fainting in confined spaces or due to scary looks. As this place will challenge your strength against the fear. We went in a group of 4 with a fast pass to skip the long queues. The haunts were too scaring and heart pounding and entire house is tormenting us like we are disturbing the sleeping evil spirits. Life time experience and we will be visiting you again.

bathroom crawler was creepy

I and my friend checked this place out recently.. the bathroom crawler was creepy.. the darkness could get to you slowly.. the jump scares were startling yet fun.. the sound effects were great as well. I am planning to visit again soon with my GF and kids.

memorable adventure

VERIFIED

We had gone through both houses and it was awesome. I would suggest if you are not brave enough then go with someone fearless because this place is surely going to take your breath. I am happy that at last I got what I had expected from a haunted house. It was a memorable adventure I had with Fear Overload Scream Park.

Ultimate fear

VERIFIED

Great haunt very thrilling adventure. It is definitely for adults. We had a blast at Scream Park. Houses are scary as hell and will provide best horror effect you ever had. Lots of suspense and always can expect a monster jumping upon us from the hideouts. Ready to scream and face your ultimate fear.

Awesome and suspenseful

Awesome and suspenseful. It was well put together with a perfect blend of horror and escape rooms tactics. Loved every actor performance in scaring us. And the best pleasing element was being lost and not easily finding the right way to go. Perfectly decorated rooms and elegant costumes to strike the sense of fear in the right spot to anyone. Well spent evening.

Pretty good haunt

We went last year as a group and it was a good haunt. The flashlight part was ok but the second part seemed more detailed. We have gone to this one a few years in a row now and it seemed similar to years past. I hope they change things up this year!

An AMAZING detailed horrifying halloween attractions

I can't recommend these haunted houses more highly. Every year a group of my friends (that seems to keep getting larger haha) goes to this place. It's more thrilling than any other haunted houses I've been to (and I've been to a TON).
Anyway, just wanted to mention that if your on the fence about going - don't be - just go.

Tons to fun & VERY scary!

My group went to fearoverload last season and we all had a blast. It was EXTREMELY scary. They have two HUGE haunted houses that took us quite a long awhile to walk (or run in our case) through. The haunt on the right was our favorite (I'm forgetting the name), but we will certainly be back this year for more fun. Highly recommended.

I went just last week..It was pretty good, although the scares were sometimes predectible..The scenery was good, but just wasn't long enough in my opinion. I was in and out within less than 10 minutes..

Must See Haunted House!

I attended this Haunted House before when it was located in the Bay Area. It was amazing and unbelievably scary and I will definitely come again this year! Spread the word around!
