Houses are not haunted. People are.

"Be careful what you see . . . it may deceive you. Listen closely what you hear . . . it may give you a clue. Smell what . . . Oops, sorry I'm sweating! The hairs on your neck are anticipating next shock. "

New York trip

The atmosphere was intense, the effects were really well done, and there were plenty of moments that had us wondering what was going to happen next.

What a twist

"It was a little slow at first but it was a fresh story line with good jump scares and a twist at the end. Definitely a show where the audience participation is key. We had a great audience opening night!"

Broadway.com Customer on Aug 15, 2026

A really good time, movie fans would love

"Brilliant acting, great chemistry, fun story, had some good scares. The audience was so sucked it, there were barely any applauses since we were waiting for something to jump out. Not gonna win a Tony and Broadway fans might just find it fun, but movie fans and tourists would love! Very refreshing to see new ideas on the stage. "

Broadway.com Customer on Aug 23, 2026

Disappointing

"Disappointing overall. The staging was poor, the script felt weak, and audio difficult to hear. There were very few theatrical tricks or memorable moments. I expected much more and left feeling unsatisfied. "
