Dark Scares Haunted Attraction

This was my first haunted house ever. I didn’t find it particular scary, but I’m also a recovering Saw film fan! I think this would be good for children or tweens. There was a pretty long wait for about 15 minutes of «action». I don’t think it was worth $ 15, but it was entertaining and the employees were a lot of fun. Go with a smaller group/​break up your large group for the best experience.

Cliff Notes: Great experience, especially for the price. Recommended.
Longer Version: The girl & I decided to swing by here late Saturday Sept 29 and see what’s going on. She’s a huge haunted house fan and I’m part of the 2 person haunted house fan club so away we went. Dark Scares was offering a special, it was only $ 5 admission per person and proceeds went to charity for this particular evening.
The layout was good. You enter into a room that’s the lobby of a hotel. The desk clerk is rude and demanding and things get pretty dark from there on. One of the cool things was the phone ringing and the desk clerk handed to my girl, saying it was for her. I won’t say what was on the other end of the phone but it was a nice touch that I hadn’t seen for a while. It’s a hotel & casino theme (best casino experience we’ve had in a long time, lol). From there on the haunted house had several very interesting features which I’ll leave for you all to experience yourselves, but the important part was that the staff really seemed to get into it. The girl is, like I said, a haunted house fanatic, and she’s a clown too, creeping scared through the hallways. The staff picked up on this, yelling «we got a SCREAMER!!!» and they really made the most out of picking on her and scaring her. I could see her getting a little unnerved in some of the rooms and thought it was great. It was hard for me not to laugh at some of their comments.
The bottom line was the layout was good but the staff was great, they got involved and acted like they were enjoying the process. We went to a couple other places that night and Dark Scares was our favorite. Recommended overall, for the price it’s a no brainer.
