Festival of Souls Haunted House

I love haunted houses! Went with a male friend and we paid $ 100 extra to skip the insanely long line with a 3hour wait. the scenery was great but the experience in a whole sucked! Totally not worth it. you’re rushed through because there are so many people behind you eager to see. the people jumping out at you are seen ahead of the line so once you get to them & they jump out you expected it already so it’s silly! I was VERY disappointed & will never waste my time or money on this again. kind of shocked people are so into this because it was weak

WAS AWESOME can’t with till October this year. We will be back!

I attended this event through Unilocal and let me tell you how much fun I had! We went through 2 haunted houses. The first house was your every possible nightmare come to life. It lasted about 10 – 15 mins and man did it feel like 30mins! The cast were super intimating and freaky scary.
The pitch black house was awesome. It was pitch black and you couldnt see anything. Every now and then a flash would happen and you would notice a figure following you around… it was so scary bcs you knew someone was following you but you couldnt see them ahhhhh! Just thinking about it gives me chills lol
If you want something fun to do during the week or weekend I would recommend this place. Its a good adrenaline activity.
Go check it out peeps!

This place was terrible! Not worth the money at all! SAVE YOUR MONEY! It only has 1 haunted house that’s not even that scary and your done in like less than 10 minutes. And a pitch black maze thats not even scary just annoying. And they only let you go in once!!! For $ 35 a person!!! COMPLETE RIP OFF! They were supposed to have a zombie shooting but it was closed «technical difficulties» smh yea right, looked stupid anyways. And there is no dunk a zombie like they claim they have on the website. Just being honest this place was a big let down and a hug rip off!

I was pleasantly surprised by this event. I thought the haunted house was very well put together. I was scared! Definitely got me in the Halloween spirit!

Went to FOS with a group from work and had a blast. Started out with a Philly cheese steak from one of the food trucks parked out front then went upstairs to purchase our tickets. We waited in the haunted masion line first which took about ten minutes… As we approached the front of the line a young boy came running out the front door screaming which I felt was a good sign to come! We walked through and were literally screaming at every turn!
After we got out we had a drink down at the bar to gain our composure and courage before walking through the maze which didn’t disappoint.
All in all we had a great time… Would definitely go back!

Festival of Souls is super scary in an awesome way. I have gone to Halloween Horror Night’s and prefer Festival of Souls. Worth every penny. I would rather wait to go in with a group of 5 at a time than have a long line walking through the house. The 5 at a time rule allowed the group I was in to have their own personal experience. Rooms filled with different themes at every turn. After the House we went to the maze which was pitch black and felt like I was trying to get out with my life which is exactly what I wanted. I have been to a ton of Haunted Houses. This one take the cake. There is nothing better. Trust me.

Pretty fair as haunted houses go. Went on a Sunday and it wasn’t at all crowded, but none the less, the staff was pretty disorganized. Given the Riverfront’s reputation, there were almost as many police officers as staff though which did make us at least feel safe. Too bad they weren’t stamping tickets and making drinks, or I’d add a star.

When we politely decided to pass on the cruise ship style «professional» photos on a green screen, the photographer was pushy, rude and made us wait in line while he photographed other people. Franky, I didn’t come to be photographed and made to wait in yet another line, as a condition of waiting in three other lines.
Next, they offer up a mandatory two page waiver for you to sign, asking for all sorts of personal information. Combined with the attitude of the photographer, lack of organization and overall shoddiness of the operation, we decided to duck under the rope and forgo this process. The girls seemed to be having a hard time keeping track of the forms in their little booth. One has to ask, where do they go from here?
Things did move quickly once we got in the haunted house though. Almost too quickly, if we lingered at all, there were staff to move us along. I’d say the scariest part was knowing the history of the buildings, and being in a deserted entertainment complex, smack dab in the middle of Fort Lauderdale. Kinda felt «ghost townish» without even doing anything. The huge bouncer that gave the prewalk talk was pretty damn scary and would make anyone think twice about interacting with any of the actors inappropriately. Cameras are around every turn in the «house» to further make sure no one gets out of line.
At the ½ price groupon rate, it was a fun, cheap date night. If I had spent $ 30 or upgraded to speed pass, I’d have been quite disappointed, but in the spirit of the season… I’m going to give em three stars.

I agree with the bad reviews, David W has one review only hmmmmm.
This was such a waste of money! For me though it was worse though. I was in line for the maze, which had not one scare actor, and a group of kids went under the rope. I went to tell the guy at the front and the women and they looked at me like I was crazy. Then he said they were there, he kept lying instead of fixing the issue. At hhn that never happens, they are orderly and take security seriously. People that work there from the box office, security, to lame photographers are unprofessional, it’s a circus. Then I was charged extra for using my credit card! I went last year and it was the same, mediocre at best. Never again for me, it screams cheesy

If I could put zero stars, I would. Absolutely awful! Do not waste your time or money. All the advertising and website is completely overrated. It’s 2 short, lame haunted attractions. The website says there is 3, but dunking a zombie in a tank is not a haunted attraction! And the zombie shoot was «out of order». Also, the dunk and the shoot are not included in your outrageous price so now you have to shell out even more money. The lame dark maze is just a dark room with walls and you find your way out… it’s not scary and I can go down a dark street for free and do that. The other one is just as bad. Save money for an extra week and go to Halloween Horror Nights. This whole event should be shut down for false advertising. We arrived at 9pm and were done with everything by 9:30. Should have known this was shitty when we pulled up and it wasn’t very crowded for a Saturday night. Enough ranting… just don’t go!

By far the worst hundred house I have ever been in. The pitch black maze was only that, pitch black. No ghouls goblins or specters anywhere. The main maze, a little better. But still by no means scary. They really need to work on their timing.

This was by far one of the best haunts in a very long time! Trust me I’m very desensitized! You will be scared. Prepare to scream.
Took six other ppl with me and they were all screaming. So much fun. Thanks

The haunted house was fun. Definitely a lot better than some I’ve been in and worth the money. The zombie safari, however, was awful! Don’t waste .05 on this! You basically are sitting on a bench with a mounted paintball gun in the back of a open trailer and shooting 4 «zombies» as you pass by. Yes they are real people but they just stand there getting pelted. No theatrics at all. Come on! This is Halloween! They are in full protective gear… except for a cup because the guy leading the ride kept telling us to not shoot below the waist… some of his guys have had to go to the hospital… there’s letters from a lawyer… blah, blah, blah. I don’t feel sorry for any dimwit in full protective gear getting spewed with paintballs at 20 ft who isn’t sharp enough to wear a cup.

Wasted almost $ 90 bucks for 2 people to get in! Bought VIP pass, yet stood 20 mins in line to give my Groupon and get hand stamped. Then I went to the line for the Haunted House, they barely want to let people in with the fast pass, I only had 2 people that jumped ahead of us, and outside the ropes and I waited 30 minutes. Then since it is a Haunted House, a lil thrill and you walk out about 3 mins later so why did I wait 30 mins??? The zombie shoot, you will be shocked how boring, long line, boring on the pick up truck, 3 zombies that are tired stand in front of you, 2 mins it is over. Went for a beverage… got back in fast pass line after speaking with them briefly, I was one of the few people there with a costume on, so then it is my turn to walk in after waiting a long time again in their so call VIP Fast Pass… OMG how long do people wait in the regular lines… so I am about to walk in and girl denies my entrance??? Said the fast pass is single use and states on ticket. Ticket states good for 1 day event. So I waste money, and endure lines, and was ripped off. The only reason I didn’t argue or ask to speak to the manager, I was hot and tired from dancing to the dj that was jamming. Other than that… they need to become organized. If you do not want to be miserable, best you go from 6:30pm to buy tickets, then 7pm to 9pm, because the couple of minutes attractions are not worth the long waits.
