Nightmare Haunted House

The venue features between 15 and 30 live actors of varying ages per night, which makes it one of the most live-character-involved Halloween attractions in the Lower Mainland. The live actors are generally exceptional. When we went through they didn’t scream over-the-top or jump out, go boo and then wonder what to do next. They knew their lines, opened hidden doors and were subtle when appropriate. They were effective and an integral part of the experience. The venue is not wheelchair accessible as there are stairs in the building. The scare factor at the attraction is perfect for most families. It’s a haunted house, but there isn’t lots of blood and gore, nor overly frightening monsters. It is scary, but in a comfortable and reasonable way. That being said, … There are times, especially later at night when there are larger numbers of teenagers in the lineup, when the attraction “ramps things up.” During those occasions, the haunted house gets pretty intense and screaming can be heard from a long ways off! Families with young children are given flashlights, which is a great idea. The lights help visitors see slightly better in the dark, but also let the actors know little people are approaching and that the scare factor consequently needs turning down.
