A cool shudder trickles down your spine. Glancing around nervously, you see somber portraits staring at you from behind layers of dust, seemingly penetrating your very being. Cold, hesitant light streams in through a cracked window, casting eerie shadows on the walls. As you walk forward, you can't help but feel that someone is following you. Whirling around, you see nothing but the empty hallway and the faces in the portraits staring at you. 'Turn back' they seem to say, but you swallow a nervous whimper and continue into the dark bowels of the haunt...
You enter a dark room in the center of the house. Shadows seem to swirl around your feet, sucking you in. In a burst of panic, you fumble for a light switch.the room remains immersed in darkness. Fear settles in and deep down you know you're not alone in the dark. Something brushes your back. You turn, but there is nothing. Nothing you can see, that is. Outside you can hear the autumn wind howling, and it almost sounds like laughter to your panicked mind. A low chuckle breaks your thought process, directly in front of you. You scream, but hear nothing in the overwhelming blackness. You're being drawn in, drowned in slumbering evil, there is no escape...

Excellent Haunt
Best haunted house I ever been to. Been going for years, nobody can beat their talent! These guys are insane in a good way though. I heard they are not open this year :( they are working with haunted places in Europe. Totally awesome if you ask me.

Incredible!
This haunted house is the best ever! Is so realistic, scary, horrifying. I mean absolutely everything about is incredibly well done. Their props, their lights, their music, smells, everything is great! Definitely not for kids though. The only thing is the wait, people will line up around the block, other than Orlando or Tampa, I have never seen so many people come to a haunt. If you don't show up early enough, you can easily wait two hours. But is all worth it. Believe me! They had me and my girlfriend locked in a dirty cell! For a moment I thought we weren't gonna make out.

simply the best
First off. I would like to thank the owners. Not only do they help a great cause. But also, brings Halloween back, the way it should be. Scary! I have been going for a few years now. We take a yearly trip thru Florida and Georgia looking for haunted houses. I have to say, this one is the most incredible haunted house I have ever been to. You feel like you are in a horror film, seriously. They are incredibly imaginative, original, unsurpassed. The details are amazing, the timing, and the ambiance. Everything you want for Halloween is at this place. You will be scared, you will have fun and yes you will go back for more the next day. I guarantee it! However, I do not recommend it for children, seems to be geared to older crowds. It may be too intense for children. The best haunted house by far.

the best
Best Haunt PERIOD! This is the real deal. This is what Halloween is all about! Horror!
Scare Factor: Fun Factor: Haunt Value: Great!
If you want to be scared out of your wits, this is the place to go. I cannot wait to see what the theme will be this year!!! We usually take a trip there every day that they are open (from Boca) and its worth the drive every time. The effects are great! Scare factor? Off the charts!!! I have never been so scared in my life. When you are in the haunt, it feels like you are in a horror movie. My girlfriend literally peed her pants! She is going to kill me for typing this. Anyways this is the best haunt in Florida. I agree with these reviews The best! Patrick

Incredible
This haunted house is INCREDIBLE .The best I have ever been to. There are no words to describe the quality of this place. Original, realistic, terrifying. The best place to get a good scare in Florida. Absolutely fantastic. My kids (ages 17 and 19 now) lugged me there two years ago and now I can’t stop!! It inspired me to create horror themed artifacts that I intend to donate for charity. Last year they had this incredible actor in an electric chair, when I passed by, he started shaking and all sorts of sounds, started to come out of the chair. They even added fog and I think it smelled like something was burning. Take my advice. Do not spend your money on poorly done haunts. No need to go anywhere else. Best of the best!

Absolutely the best and most terrifying haunt
This haunt has the quality to be in movies, the attention to detail is straight from Hollywood! I have been going to this haunt for 5 years now and every year it's bigger, more detailed and always changing! Not to mention it will leave you terrified!! Even veteran haunted house goers will feel horrified! The owner of this haunt does it for the passion of it. It is non profit and honestly every time we go thru it, we put a 20$ in the bucket at the end of the haunt. It's just too good to not leave any $$$ Please owner of this haunt! Keep it going and I'm sure we will see your haunt at a store front soon!! Go and see for yourself!!
