Review This Haunt
  • Email Verified Amazing Scares

    The actors and staff at Nightmare are all extremely talented and dedicated to their craft. From the moment you walk in the door and out of the exit anxiety becomes a familiar companion as you are jumped from all sides. The overall ambience of the Haunted House sets the tone for the unerving and other worldy noises that echo off of the walls of the attraction. I greatly recommend any Horror or Haunted House fans to check out Nightmare on Wolcott Street.

  • Lots of rooms to explore

    It was an awesome night for us!!! We were a group of 5 and everyone loved the scares. There were lots of rooms to explore, and scares came from all sides. I am so glad that I jumped and screamed a good number of times. We’ll 100% be back.

  • Actors were great...

    Couldn't be happier with the experience. There was enough blood and gore to freak you out. Special effects were impressive, so were some of the props. Even after a week, I can’t take the skeleton character out of my head. Actors’ performance in general was decent.

  • Will visit again

    Visited with my BF. It was super scary from start to finish. This indoor haunt had lots of rooms, wherein each one was designed with a separate theme and set of scares. The clowns and jokers scared the crap out of us. Reasonably priced. We will visit again.

  • Email Verified Freaky awesome

    I and daughters had a great time in Nightmare on Walcott Street. The lines were short. We waited for just 10 minutes to get inside. The 55 rooms of the house was freaky awesome. Set design and attention to details were impressive. The kids screamed few times. Actors were spot-on and they stayed in character all the time.

  • Hands down to the best....

    Hands down the best attraction we have been to this year. Scares came at regular intervals and few of them really startled me off my feet. The price is competitive and the line is worth the wait. Very realistic displays and actors.

  • Email Verified Custom, Handcrafted Haunted House Full of Movie Props

    Nightmare on Wolcott Street is a winding labyrinth of 55 rooms lined with salvaged movie props. Expect every genre of horror:Killer clowns.Vampires.A Chainsaw wielding maniac.There easily could be 1000 set pieces wired and set up to scare.Humble beginnings, this scare show was set up 5 years ago by the owner of the clrestoration shop it's connected to. There they custom fabricate parts for cars that no longer exist. As we stepped up to take a photo next to the twin 2-story Virgin Mary's, featured in Whoopie Goldverg's Sister Act, one of his mechanics was kind enough to share with us a half-million dollar, mauve restoration from France the owner had purchased and was working to restore to sell at an auction. Many of their cars serve in the scenes of Hollywood films.As you can imagine, many of these mechanics have worked on setting up the haunted house, whether installing new pieces into old mechanical animatronic Frankensteins, or welding steel and mirror to create fun house mazes. As a result the haunted house is custom, unlike any other, and an art piece in its own respect.#2 Haunted House of the year, as we seek to visit 13 haunted houses in the Northeast during this Halloween season.This one is not to be missed and will be reviewed with video and photos on our NY Nomads' blog, for those that want to learn more.www.nynomads.com

  • Email Verified Scare factor was above par!!!

    This is a hidden gem. Never heard about this place before. So thought of giving it a try. The lines were not long. The haunt is of the right length, and scare factor was above par. Use of space was good and there was not a single dull moment I could think of. Actors’ costumes looked real. Their performance was also professional throughout. Staff was helpful too. Recommend this place.

  • Recommend to all scare seekers

    There were lots of twists and turns.. scares kept coming from all sides.. often they would jump out from hidden spots totally catching you off-guard. My husband does not scared easily.. but even he was jumped at least thrice.. the rates were reasonable and the whole thing was lots of fun. I would recommend this place to scare seekers in the state.

  • Scary...multiple thematic rooms

    Amazing haunt house. Very short wait time in the queue and scary ambience inside the house. Multiple thematic rooms accompanied by phenomenal special effects. Impressed by actor’s skills and costume. Friendly staff. Not for one who gets panic easily

  • Actors were fantastic

    Went last night with a small group of 4 friends. Didn’t get too scared but actors were fantastic especially the chainsaw. The creepy sounds were most enduring. Overall, we left terrified and planning to come again.

    Hard work is clearly visible. Good roars and sound effects itself will take your soul out and make you feel crazy. Teens will have their best time at nightmare but I won’t recommend it to kids.

    Perfect price for adequate length inside the house. We had an amazing time as we screamed, jumped, yelled and even ran from one corner to another. High on detail design for sets and themes, phenomenal special effects and scariest night for my group. Hats off to the organizing team.

  • Email Verified Super spooky

    We had a lively time at Nightmare on Wolcott Street. Haunted house was super spooky. There are many turns and twists where you can expect good scare jumps. Everything looked very professional. As it is an indoor attraction, rain or shine does not affect your visit.

  • Email Verified Terrifying experience

    Last month I walked through the Walcott Street with my girlfriend. Trust me, it was a terrifying experience. The actors were so true in colors that they chased us out of the building. Loved the animatronics, in fact the best I’ve ever experienced in any haunted houses. Friendly staffs and ample space for parking. Well done.

    Worth it. No matter how much they try to seperate you from your group don't let it happen. The only way to survive is not allowing yourself to get seperated. Observe the details. Watch your step.

    I really loved this haunted house. I like it most for it's props and lighting. I don't want to give away much, but there's a really cool part with lights. There's also some pretty cool animated props in the haunt. I look forward to going next year. :)

  • Haunted House Connoisseur

    Having experienced haunted house iin Idaho, Utah, California pretty much all over the U.S. I must say, I was gravely disappointed. Definitely at the bottom of the barrel. Right idea, with failed execution. To be fair, if you arrive with low expectations, you'll do.just fine. Lastly, they said half an hour and it really took about 10 mins with the delay of two mothers who brought their newborns and toddler aged kids.
