Phobius Haunted House

Love the haunt. Actors were great, scenes were BEAUTIFUL, everything is obviously done with a lot of love and not just with dollar signs in their eyes as opposed to other haunts in the STL area.
The little stage-​show in the beginning makes you feel like you’re in an old horror movie circus. Thrilling.

Granted, we spent FOREVER in line, and upgraded the tickets we bought in line, it was worth it. phobius is freaky! while waiting for the bus to take you to where the haunted house is, there’s 3 tents that have food, drinks, and a sponsor tent for their stuff. they also have a dj playing rock music.

Phobius was great. A friend scored free tickets and invited us to go.
We arrived about an hour before close, and truthfully, were it not for blind luck we most likely wouldn’t have made it in. There’s a line to buy tickets (or validate the tickets you bought online, if you did so), and then another line to get picked up by the bus that takes you to the haunted house.
Despite 30+ people being in front of us for the bus line, the assistant called out «any parties of two people?» and somehow, we were the only couple either paying attention or in line, so we got to take the last two seats on the bus despite quite possibly being otherwise two buses «out» from the haunt, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I won’t spoil it or reveal any sordid details. As always, if you are prone to seizures from strobe lights, this is NOT FOR YOU. Some sections will be very smoky due to the fog, and you might cough a bit from the chemicals. I am happy to say that the characters were VERY personable and fun to be around, both in and out of the haunt (once they scared the shit out of you and you could laugh it off, if you’re not a tight ass, that is).
I would absolutely come back.

Great haunted house. Very busy though so get the fast pass! It was well worth the $ 10 to skip one hour line. It’s pretty scary, I won’t spoil it for anyone but there were some things here I haven’t seen at other haunted houses.
