The haunt at Chaffey High School was very creepy and fun this year. I had never experienced a haunt where a character followed me through the maze. There were different rooms that were so creatively creepy. The room with the ballroom dancers comes to mind. I loved it so much I visited the Haunt on multiple occasions. Chaffey really nailed it.

An all-new theme for the Chaffey scare house. Based on a real event, this scare house had people following you around a maze of horror with the intention of scaring the daylights out of you.

Historic Transportation

The haunted house is based off the famous first known serial killer of America, H.H. Holmes and going through the haunt feels like being transported straight to the 1800s! The costumes are time period accurate and the ball room had an incredible UV effect! The multiple H.H. Holmes characters really sold the effect of being chased throughout. Great haunt would go again!

Always spooky and fun !!

Chaffey students know exactly how to lighten up the night with their haunts. Their basement alone is spooky and creates a perfect atmosphere with their evolving themes each year. I remember going to one a couple of years ago where you had to crawl through a small tunnel. That was so immersive! No doubt about them winning for me, personally.

I have see this Haunt grow over the years. The team genuinely enjoys providing an awesome experience for its guests!

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.

Email Verified Great but Grape

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

New Halloween Tradition

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.

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!

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!
