Eleventh Hour

Went to this on a Friday night and there was a decent turn out. Not too many actors outside to mess with you, one did have a chainsaw tho… For the most part there were decent scares. The acting was pretty good but mostly saying «hi» in a creepy tone. There was also a solid beginning and climax but the end in my opinion was pretty weak. I also feel that for almost $ 30 a person it could have been a bit longer. Overall it was a great time, can’t wait to see what they have next year…

I was with a friend from high school and we went here the year before last in early October. A certain worker had what I called «hormonal issues,» rude and ignorant. Other than her having a menopausal meltdown; we ignored her and had fun. I laughed my butt off falling inside a dark tunnel but I wasn’t the only one who fell down when whatever zombie it was rushed us. If it was real; I would have been eaten :0)

I was able to attend this show the last weekend. First let me say I loved the detailed sets. This is why they are at the top. People like these guys and Dream Reapers set the stage for the haunts around now.
Let me base this on what I saw when I was out there. The staff was upbeat and full of energy also mostly adults as it appeared. The rolls conveyed were well received and the waiting lines were as to be expected for the weekend before Halloween. The staff seemed to have things down with tickets and traffic flow. I waited about 50 minutes but we expected that. If you think your going to roam into a Pro Haunt and pay $ 15 for a Pro Show with a 15 minute wait time and spend 25+ minutes, your delusional. I enjoyed this production for everything it was. There was incredible set work, great props, wonderful staff /​characters. I wouldn’t say it is exactly a in your face aggressive scare but it was much better than Rob Zombie or Massacre without question. I paid to visit many shows this year and these guys stood out as did 2 smaller shows in town.
I believe its having the right staff and minds behind the design, and these guys have it. Most bad reviews seem to be from 1^st weekends, NEVER go to a haunt opening weekend as this is when they are working out the bugs. Always best to review Unilocal for input prior to attending as reviewers /​competitors are paid for and often give garbage reviews.
I wouldn’t advise to bring children under 14 here. As a haunt viewer I will be back and hope they do a Valentines show again. Parking was slightly a pain and the sign we saw was immediately before the turn. So pay attention as its in a business/​warehouse corridor. There were plenty of staff to direct you around and entertain while you wait. Great use of space and on point acting/​scares. Took about 19 minutes to go through. To much hype with the big shows but these guys clearly delivered where there big competitor’s failed miserably!

This is now called the 13^th Floor. (see alternate Unilocal entry)
1^st off I want to thank Unilocal and the Thirteenth Floor for inviting us out to experience this haunted experience. My brother and I made the treck and had a great time. Now… let’s get to the brass tacks.
Age approprietness: The warning is that that this «may» be too intense for children under 12. I think that is a fair statement. With that said I also believe that most parents of young kids would do well by keeping them close as there are some areas that can be a little jarring… but they will likely enjoy this immensely.
Organization and safety: This was by far the most well organized HH I have been to. They make an effort to send small groups through at intervals in order to maximize the fun. There is always a sense of guiding as you walk through. If you look carefully you can see workers whose job it is to keep an eye on everyone and they apear to be focused.
Design: Excellent layout for those who do not want to feel lost or unsure where to go next. The place is designed to so that you always know where you are supposed to go next. For the older kids it might be a little more fun if that sense of certainty was occasionally not there… that raises the terrifying factor a bit. The rooms and set were top notch. Everthing looked well thought out and care went into the buid-​outs.
Cast: The makeup and dress was great and the characters tried very hard to both scare you and make sure that you were safe. I think these folks were «into the vibe» yet you could sense they were looking out for those walking through. Hats off to them.
Scare factor: The «monsters» typically focus on girls and likely kids. Only a couple of the cast engaged us guys but that was not unexpected. Our group consisted of 4 people…3 guys and a girl. Understandably the scare was almost always in wait for the girl.
Value: Haunted houses are expensive. They always have been. This one is no exception but the tour takes quite a while as this place is huge and it is room after haunted room… non-​stpo for quite a while. The design elements are top notch. Might be good to have more cast members and alternate more «scarey or interactive paths if possible.
Super cool: Tesla coil. I could have stayed there and watched that thing for an hour. There are also a couple rooms that throw your sense of balance off… very cool.
Suggestions: –Try to make sure each group has at least 2 or 3 scare targets (girls or kids). Having a few people in the group that will scream and jump around intensifyies the experience for everyone.
–Try using air streams or blasts, hanging threads and cold air in some rooms to throw off the folks that might not otherwise react.
–Have a couple rooms that allow choices of exits to alternate rooms/​paths will vary the experience. You can make a few rooms very scary or interactive and have your cast members guide those with young kids to the least scary paths.
Overall: Definitley worth a trip.

This year all new professional sets and props! Amazing upgrade! These are Broadway sets that 11^th Hour purchased and had to move into a new, HUGE location to use.
Also, I do not like scary things and I REALLY REALLY do not like the scare-​level here. That means others would probably enjoy it. :) The actors (I got to go behind the scenes) are super dedicated to their scaring… they come back each season and are in character ALL the time. :X

Eleventh Hour was the best haunted house that I went to this season. We also got discounted tix on Goldstar to celebrate my BFF’s birthday. Since it was a Thursday, there wasn’t many people there. It was just two of us but there was a group of four in front of us.
The biggest highlights were the shaky elevator that was totally dark. Also, the way the actors made us figure our own way out in totally dark areas. We moved so fast that we caught up with the group ahead of us. As a bonus you receive a free movie ticket to use at Hollywood Blvd or Hollywood Palms.
The best part is that Eleventh Hour is the closest haunted house in my area. Many times they are at a least twenty minute drive. I will attend again next year and hope that I have another great experience.

There were positives and negatives to my Eleventh Hour experience, but taking into account the fact that this is a brand new location with (presumably) new actors, the good outweighed the bad by far.
Their website advertises enormous 20 ft sets, and while the majority of the sets were traditionally small, claustrophobia-​inducing rooms, the back alley set and the cemetary set particularly impressed with their size and details. The huge sets also provided the actors plenty of unexpected paths to weave through the guests and return for a scare again and again.
The length of the experience seemed longer than the average haunted house, though some of that time we spent lost in a maze (not the most enjoyable part). The actors on the whole did a very good job as well– the mad scientist was equally funny and creepy.
I do feel like the haunt was front-​loaded with actors– the latter rooms felt a bit sparse. In addition, the waiting area prior to entrance is enormous and has a lot of potential, but other than a lightning-​spewing tesla coil, there wasn’t much to grab your attention.
I recommend getting your tickets online ahead of time, not only to save a couple bucks, but it bypasses the ticket purchase line, which was significant the night we went.
I feel bad for the reviewers that didn’t enjoy the new location this year, but I would guess that this place is just going to improve year-​to-​year, and I can’t wait to see it.

A must for the autumn season!!! So fun and scary at the same time. Went through once with my parents and once with my younger niece… there is something for everyone. Oh, and the hot cider was yummy!!!

The actors were fantastic. You can tell they genuinely are having fun, enjoying their jobs. Not only do they try to startle you, but they also are great characters and are pretty good at improv. I could have done with less strobe lights. No need to feel sick when you’re already dealing with sensory overload. Not huge fan of haunted houses and kind of went reluctantly, but glad my friends dragged me among!

Very good haunt. Good set up, good props/​actors. Line waits inside. Lots of parking nearby. Took us about 30 minutes to get through. Bring cash. They charge $ 3 extra for debit/​credit cards. $ 23 admission unless you have a coupon. If you like their page on Facebook you get $ 6 off per ticket.

1.5 stars. Not 2.
I’ve gone to Eleventh Hour three years in a row. However, after this year it’s safe to say that I will not be coming back to Eleventh Hour again.
Quality:
This house has so much potential, especially given its new location. The rooms were spacious and much of the scenery goes all the way to the ceiling, which is pretty cool. However, while some of the scenes are great and very well thought out, many are just pitch black spaces with a cheap flake flickering candle or cheap props that you could find at any Halloween store. I was seriously disappointed in the lack of detail, – this seemed to take a back seat to just making the scenes larger than before.
Actors:
Awful. I went on a Saturday night at 9pm, a time that I would consider peak hours for a haunted house. Despite this, Eleventh Hour only had a handful of actors in the house, and actually had the same actors in different parts of the house. If I’m being generous, I’d say there were maybe 15 – 20 actors throughout the house. And for as large as this house is, that’s completely unacceptable. It’s no wonder that there were super long stretches of the house where we didn’t see a single actor. Aside from the lack of actors, their acting was essentially terrible. All they really did was growl. Pretty stupid.
Value:
I got a small discount on tickets because I bought them from Goldstar. I think I paid $ 40 for 2 VIP tickets (meaning we got to skip the line). Regular price for regular tickets (no VIP) was $ 23 plus a $ 3 service charge per ticket. Even with my deal, I feel like I seriously overpaid for this house. Less than halfway through my boyfriend turned to me and said «do you think we can get our money back? This is a waste of time» and he was right. I’d be even more upset if I had paid full price for such a crappy haunted house.
Scare factor:
Feel free to bring your 8 year old kid. They’ll probably end up laughing the entire way through just like the little kids in my group did. This house isn’t scary. If anything it’s comical once you realize how much money you just spent to have teenage actors growl at you.
Other:
Eleventh Hour was more interested in shuffling as many people as possible into the house at one time than ensuring that guests had an enjoyable experience. My group had 14 people in it. At other haunted houses, I’ve had max 6 people per group. Not only was our group too large, but ran into the equally large group in front of us, making the already boring haunted house worse as we had to wait several minutes for the group to move.
Overall:
Will not be going back. Ever. I had high hopes for the new location, but it disappointed on every possible level. I think the haunted corn maze that they had at the old location was scarier than this entire house at this new location. This house is good for younger kids. Or adults who like throwing their money away on overpriced «entertainment» and being growled at.

Scenery is amazing!
