Houston Terror Dome Haunted House

My boyfriend and I went on Halloween weekend 2015 it was a blast. If you have never been you must go its so fun.

I went to screamfest a couple weeks ago and it was so lame… and that’s saying a lot because I’m easily scared. There were different things to do there but I’m more about quality over quantity.
So I went home and did my research. Houston Terror Dome was rated #1 scariest haunted house in Houston. I tried it out the Wednesday before Halloween thinking it would be packed. The guy at the front told me it won’t get packed until the weekends. There was no one in line at all so I was thinking that maybe it wasn’t going to be good at all. They proved me wrong! I was freaking terrified the entire time. The props are ridiculously good. I am scared of clowns and they definitely extended my fear of clowns. How scared? I ran from a clown behind me in a complete panic and literally ran into a wall. The walk through was long too. When I figured we had made it to the end, there was more and more to go through. You definitely get more bang for your buck here for only $ 20. All the actors are so professional too. Go here! I know it’s a bit out of the way but just go and you won’t regret it.

Fun atmosphere and great crew! We were a group of 11 and we had to split up in half, which was understandable. The wait in line was fun with good music and live dancers. Once we got in (not gonna leak any spoilers) I didn’t think I’d get scared by anything, but this haunted house has it all! Trust me, it will find something to make you squirm! It was worth $ 20 and I’d go again next year!

I came here this past October looking to get my pants scared off of me and have a good time. I didn’t expect too much, but I was pleasantly surprised.
You buy your tickets at the costume shop right next to the haunted house. There was plenty of free parking right next to the shop. We also spent a few minutes looking at the decorations and costumes in the costume shop after going through the house.
Tickets are $ 20, $ 30 for VIP to avoid the line and go in more than once. However, the line wasn’t long when we went on a Saturday night in late October. It took about 10 minutes to get through it. While we were waiting they had zombie gogo dancers and a live DJ. Not sure why they have these dancers when there were plenty of kids around, but I guess some people enjoy it.
The place looks pretty tiny from the outside compared to the massive space that Screamworld and Phobia have, but don’t be fooled. The actual house took a good length of time. They have all the typical things most haunted house goers have seen before, but maybe not all in one haunted house: a section where you where 3D glasses, chainsaw finale, clowns, a spinning tunnel bridge, etc. I don’t get scared too easily, but I will admit that I was screamed many times. There were many jump scares that are expected, but still manage to surprise you. Overall, a good experience!

The GFF and I have a goal, to visit every Haunted House in Greater Houston. Here’s our conquered list thus far 1. Kemah Board Walk Dungeon of Doom, 2. Rosharon’s Creepy Hollow, 3. Studewood’s Nightmare on the Bayou, 4. North Houston’s ScreamWolrd 5. Houston Scream fest off of 45 south and Edgebrook.
Experienced Opinion :
This past Saturday we went to the Houston Terrord Dome Haunted House in Channelview, TX. The Terror Dome is run by the same people that run «Spookers Halloween Superstores» you know one of those seasonal Halloween stores people go to for costumes and Halloween home decorations. The Terror dome is located right behind the Spookers super store in East side Houston off of I-​10. It looks to be an old one story aparment building, which I particualry thought this was very promising. I thought about the other places we have went to that our long paths covered by tents and tarps or long conected hauling trailers annexed into «haunted houses». This place was actually an apartment building ! So the tickets are $ 20, dont bother paying extra $ 10 for vip (to avoid long lines) if you get there around 7pm there is no line. I would highly recomend you bathe in bug spray before getting off the car, apparently Channelview is mosquito infested metropolis. So they make you wait a little bit before letting you inside after 7pm, im guessing some of the acttors were still getting into positions, make up and costumes. One of spooks at the door wasnt very scary but very nice — he looked like Joker from batman and another guy looked like one of the villans from House of a thousand corpses, what killed it for me was when people would ask to take pictures with them they would fall out of character. It totally defrauded the illusion we were there to see (lol paradox!). Falling out of character to take pictures with people was totally disapointing. Ok so the time came to go in, we followed a family of three — Dad and his young son and daughter (I think the dad was on something …). We immediatley encountered an actor dressed as the DEVIL ! he was terrifying… even as he explained the rules «no pictures, no recording, no touching the actors, no crying, no running back in reverse» lol he was really good. Im not sure if my GFF Amber got any entertainment out of this for our money because she kept her pretty little head hidden under my arm through the entire walk. I liked it, there was little midget dressed liked a character from the hit American Horror Story series «FREAK SHOW» that almost made me piss my pants … just when I was really starting to get scared … EXIT SIGN appears above our heads … I could hear a couple of texas chain saw massacre guys starting up the fuel powered chainsaws outside ready to «chase us out». FAIL number one, too short of a walk and FAIL number two — Texas Chainsaw finale is over done by almost ALL haunted houses in Houston… time for a new ending idea people !
Next year we will be visiting Phobia. we shall see how that goes .
Until NEXT October Unilocalers ! (ah recommendations if you are looking for best haunted house in greater Houston — Creepy Hollow in Rosharon and Dungeon of Doom in Kemah are the best so far) How you like them TWO CENTS !

I was happily surprised. I am a horror junkie and love haunted houses. I saw there was no line which through me off but they had very good scares and very creative sets. I had noodle legs by the end of it and loved the creativity and great actors. Only drawback was it seemed a bit short but they are the new kids on the block. Worth the trip!

I visited Terror Dome last year. A lot of fun. I especially liked the zombie dancers and live DJ they have on Saturday Nights, made waiting in line not so bad. Only negative is the location, as its down I-​10 east. Plenty of FREE Parking, and the Spookers Halloween store is right next door. This year they have 3D effects and video projected imagery. They give you a set of 3D goggles before you go in. The walls feel like they are jumping out at you.
