Reviews
The 5 minute skits are based on real events in history.
My favorites were the headless horseman of Canton and the Hoosac Tunnel scene. The sets are always spectacular. Most of the actors are superb!

The sets are so detailed and the actors are great. It’s good to learn some history behind the things we are afraid of. This is not just a “scare you” show, but a well planned out and well researched show

This show was excellent for those that don't like the blood and gore. The vast history that is included is a nice change and well researched. It is in a class of it's own and unlike any other Halloween event I have ever been to. The theme was Phobias that year but changes each season. Well worth the time and money and all proceeds go toward a great non-profit.

This is so great! Every year it’s different and along with a few surprises it lets you in on the horrors of how things were done years ago!!!

Creepy stories from historical murderers. Some well known, some likely new to you. Starts with H. H. Holmes, known as the "The Devil in the White City" and moves on backwards and forwards in time and around the world. Some murdered for money, some for the thrill, some - who knows! Not a lot of "Boo!" scary or over-the-top gore, but scary real life to make you think.

The dramatic scenes are about famous crimes. The actors are excellent. The sets and lighting are extremely well done. My favorites scenes are Burke and Hare and Lizzie Borden. Don't miss this show.
