CHS Haunt: Murder Castle Reviews

Knott’s quality right here in Ontario! CHS puts on a great haunt that’s sure to give you the creeps. I’m a grown woman, but I’m glad my parents were there to protect me. Haha!

This is so professionally done! The scare actors are so committed and stay in character. The maze is filled with unexpected scares and sensory props that give you the creeps! These students have the same level of talent or better than theme park scare actors. Their costumes are also impressive! If you have a chance to go, don’t miss it!!

This year’s theme, Dark Folklore, was unique and fun! Midsommar vibes. Attention to detail was impressive, especially for a high school! I’m glad I had my dad in front of me and my mom behind me, for protection. Lol! It felt like we were really heading into a dark forest that became creepy and unsettling. Plenty of jump scares! Awesome actors! Highly recommend!

Took my kids to this and it was ah-mazing! The theatre kids are so good. Chaffey HS has a really good theatre program so it’s no surprise that they could pull off a scary maze in a scary old (haunted?) basement. CHS haunt will be a yearly thing from now on and I will bring some more people next year!

Awesome!! Had a great time, interesting idea of folklore as a theme!!

I have see this Haunt grow over the years. The team genuinely enjoys providing an awesome experience for its guests! In addition, it is a nonprofit school arts program, so your money not only provides a fun/scary experience, but also supports the development of amazing shows you can come back and patronize! This year's next show in December will be "Happy Days!"

Had lots of fun. Reasonable pricing. Very thrilling. CHS did a very good job! Will be back again next year!

This haunted maze was amazing!! Very scary very unique in decor and theme!! Would’ve loved to go every night! Actors were so dedicated 🙏❤️

November 2023

Great new theme, talented scare actors, all-around great experience!

November 2023

Knowing it was a high school production, and it only being $10 I figured it would be a fun little maze. However, I couldn’t be farther from the truth. The CHS haunt is a very unique haunt, it’s maze like layout, professional lighting/effects, as well as the actors all play a very spooky role, I would recommend this attraction every year. This is much like other professional mazes if not better! and the crazy thing is it’s only $10 and put together by high schoolers. Insane, definitely recommend 10/10.

This haunt was amazing! Go if you can! Student created and student run but not your average high school haunt! Chaffey does things big and legit! The style and visuals were super cool. You will get scared and feel creeped out from the experience. I want to go again already!!

Solid haunt for high schoolers. Overhyped, though. Some scarers lacked that pizazz…a spark if you will. Anyways, had fun with my entire family, we’re 11, however we were split into 2 groups. Very scary. Almost got stuck in the beginning between the airbags…Might not recommend for those on the heavier side. The…whats-a-micall-it non playable characters in the beginning of the haunt were very frightening. A few stutters from some of the scarers but overall good work…Excited to see, with my other 11 family members, whats next for the upcoming haunt. -CJ

This haunt was awesomely planned! The props were super realistic and really transformed the basement of Chaffey HS. Oh! You didn’t know it was a haunted attraction in a 122 year old basement in a historical high school built by one of the founders of Ontario? Yep, the history and layers to this haunt just keep going. Great Halloween find! Screamed all the way through. I will definitely be coming back every year from now on.

October 2023

It was really scary and I had so much fun, my throat is messed up from screaming so much

October 2023

October 2023

Amazing and definitely recommend 😁

October 2023

Had some great scares! I go every year and it gets better & better! Way to go Tigers!

This is the first time we came to this haunted house and we were not disappointed. I took my 14 year old son, and he didn't scare easy, but I sure did! They did an amazing job, from the settings in each room to the characters, it was outstanding! A great fright for me and an adrenaline rush. Can't wait to go next year!

October 2022

Amazing job! The actors were fantastic and my kids thought this was by far their favorite and scariest haunt all season. Well worth our time and loved every second!

October 2022

Honestly the effort and detail that the CHS team used for their haunted house is commendable. For a low budget and affordable haunt. They place a lot of passion and effort, EVERYONE of their scare actors really make this a great family friendly scare house.

October 2022

We've come for the last two years and the CHS haunt never disappoints! If you're scared of clowns, you'll either really like this haunt, or hate it, depending on how you handle your fear. I highly recommend it. It's a great value and supports an amazing program at the high school. Come through! You won't regret it!

October 2022

As always, Chaffey High School knocks it out with a great 4/4 ghost scream performance. Definitely family-friendly but with enough surprises to catch even the most stubborn person off guard and screaming! Look forward to it every year, dont miss out!

October 2022

I have done most of the SoCal Halloween events. The CHS haunt was a nice surprise. The maze was quite longer than I expected and there were a ton of scare actors. It was nice to do something close to home. My daughter loved it.

October 2022

this maze is one of the best from a school. on par with knotts scary farm and Halloween horror nights. great value, lots of scare actors, long maze. amazing would recommend

October 2022

I make going to CHS haunt a yearly thing and every year it never lets me down!!! The students who participate are natural scarers and never fail to scare!

October 2022

Great haunt. Pretty scary so maybe 9 years and over would be good. The props on this haunt were so good. I’ve seen musicals at this school and it seems like they have some former special effects staff working here. Want to have a great scare at a reasonable price? Check this place out!

October 2022

I have been going through Chaffey Theatre Company’s Haunt for years and they never seize to amaze. When I was a student I love to participate as an actor and behind the scenes, but since graduating I enjoy going back and seeing what other tricks Mr. Barnhart has up his sleeves.

September 2022

It was scary pretty good scare factors. So good of a scare I cried. If you have a fear of clowns definitely this was scary for that but not bad.

September 2022

This talented team has created the best haunted house you will find in the Inland Empire! It is a must see! If you are looking for an addition to your seasonal rounds of Knotts Scary Farm and Universal Hollywood Horror Nights, this is it. Plus, you are supporting Chaffey High School’s thespians. Bring your friends and family for an unforgettable night!

September 2022

I have worked in the Haunt, and even as a scarer, I cannot believe the creativity and teamwork put into the maze. We go crazy with al the detail and abstract sections, that once the lights go off and the music plays, it changes to a whole nother level. The different range of costumes, I know this year we will get even more beyond this frontier. 5/5!

September 2022

This haunt was located in the basement under the cafeteria! Scary enough! The haunt was awesome, the theme and characters were amazing. My husband and I were scared by cast members while walking through the creepy haunt. Definitely going to this year’s

September 2022

This maze is so well done, it’s similar to what you’d experience at Knott’s! The basement itself is spooky enough (and known to be haunted)… add the special effects, a variety of scenes throughout the maze, and creepy clowns and creatures, and you’ll be giddy with terror!

September 2022

This is not just any haunted house, but an unforgettable experience. The scarers are true performers, the costuming is exquisite, and the scenes that are created are otherworldly. On top of this, the haunt is hosted in the basement of Chaffey High School’s historically haunted auditorium, which was built in 1939. I hope you can experience this amazing attraction!

September 2022

i was gasping for air i was losing it. i couldn’t feel my legs

September 2022

You’ve all heard of the happiest place on earth, but what about the scariest? It would not be an overstatement to say this haunted house is one of the most unique, fun, and spirited haunted houses in California. The atmosphere immerses you, as well as having actors who put their heart into this experience.
