Spine chilling!

"We LOVED the show! I couldn't believe the value for the price. I was completely entertained. It’s psychologically thrilling and the whole audience was entranced! The acting is also awesome! It was an extremely entertaining show. "

Heart Racing

"I love horror and scary movies but this had my heart pounding more than any movie. I’d love for this to come back someday especially with new effects and scares to keep people on their toes. Although a horror movie can do anything they want with special effects and cgi, there’s something about the suspense and not knowing what’s possible that adds to the tension. "

Amazingly Scary

"This show was incredible!! I didn’t know what to expect when seeing a scary/spooky show on broadway, but WOW!! They packed the show with lots of humor but also sooo many jump scares! It was really fun to hear the whole audience scream together in fear. I enjoy scary movies & this was like watching one play live right in front of us. You never knew what to expect until it jumped out & scared you! They pulled off things that I’m not even sure how they did it… but AMAZING! I highly recommend everyone see this show! "

So much fun!!

"The best indicator of how truly talented this cast is and how amazing the effects are was how much we all, collectively as an audience, loved being spooked, surprised and delighted the whole show. I’ve never been to a stage production where everyone jumps at once, then laughs and claps in appreciation. If you enjoy a good scare done well, this is a must not miss!"
