Review This Haunt
  • Email Verified Great ambience

    I would say the best haunted house in the state. It was great fun and loved to be a part of it. The ambience was great with just enough lighting and other effects. Haunted house resembled a real horror house and most of the scenes were frightening.

  • One of a kind!!

    My friends and I visited them this season. It was a great decision. Amazing set up! It was a terror filled event. You could see the hard work put in by the staff and the crew and it was not wasted. The actors were well trained and performed each scene really well. One of a kind!!

  • Email Verified Most terrifying haunt

    This one is one of the most terrifying haunts in the state. The building had some fabulous props and optical illusions.They were more sophisticated and are designed to play on your inner fears.Even after leaving the haunt, its effect lingers on. Lines could be long. So try to get the tickets online and arrive early.

  • Email Verified It was nightmarish!!

    It was an amazing experience. 5 stars!! This was a real haunted house experience we loved it. Never did I expect so much terror from one place. The scenes can stay on your mind forever. It was nightmarish and makes you want to run out.

  • Enjoyed the night

    Fun for whole family. Enjoyed going to Hellsgate and it had such a creepy vibe to it. This is the best haunted attraction we have been in the years. We ran, screamed, held back and astonished multiple times. Kudos to the management for handling the queue and it was a blast for us.

  • Perfect experience!

    Went on a slow night, perfect experience! An excellent place for mild heart ones to experience horror and terror. All the actors were superb and never came out of their role, especially the girl draped in white dress was so adamant in scaring us.

  • 10/10

    10/10 recommend. It was like a Hollywood horror flick that was completely filled with monsters and ghosts.They had the best of visual and audio effects that can startle you. And the characters really know how to play their parts!

  • Email Verified Perfect and unique

    Great haunt experience! Visited with friends and we really had a blast! It is the best haunt that we had ever visited. The location inside the woods itself make it a perfect place for a haunted house. Every setup was perfect and unique. The woods leading to the haunted house has been really creepy and the rooms in the haunted house has been amazing. Had plenty of scary moments throughout the haunt. The actors were excellent and they were also in good numbers. We were very much thrilled and will surely be back next season.

  • Email Verified Had a thrilling night out

    Went last week with the kids and they loved it. It was a bit scary but they had a thrilling night out. The house was super creepy and we won’t have any idea what was coming next. Will recommend it for next year.

  • Email Verified Really awesome

    Visited Hells Gate with my friends and had lots of fun and laughter. It was nearly a few minutes’ walk to the haunted house from where I live. The house provides complete entertainment from the beginning to the end. Bus ride was really awesome. Definitely come back.
