Theatrical History
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.

Email Verified Scary killers from history
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.

Villains is very creepy
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.

This was a great show and exhibit. The museum does a tremendous amount of work to create some amazing sets to illustrate the ghostly stories.

Email Verified Sometimes history is really scary
Great presentation of witches and witchcraft in history and literature. Really well done dioramas, great live actors portraying witch trials and executions. Pretty scary while also educational. I wouldn't take small kids (take them on Saturday 10/14 at 2 for kids tour), but older kids should be fine. A super value for your $10. And it all goes to support this terrific little museum.

Great Halloween Fun for every family
Super cool haunted house in a really neat museum. Great effort by the Windham Textile Museum to create a fun, spooky and engaging exhibit that will be a really nice experience for any family. Go check it out on Friday the 13th!!! (Also Sat 10/14)

Email Verified The Truth is Scarier than Fiction
This is the perfect haunted house because it's scary for those who like scares, but not for those who don't. That might sound contradictory, but here the scares comes from the history, When you enter, you enter a world of fantasy until the terrifying truth dawns on you....this is reality. That fact is the true horror. At first, it is just a museum tour where history comes to life, literally, including with live actors talking about "Macbeth" with Shakespeare himself and the horror of superstition. It seems innocent enough till you go upstairs. Upstairs, history comes alive as you watch an actual witch trial from the accusation of the witch to the burning. It is very much like a play. Then you go in the maze where you see the execution of the witches. You also see prisoners reaching out for you, crying for you to help them. But you can't. All reality. You are left with the reality that this happens all the time, still. Suddenly, you realize that you are the one with the choice in life and these true horrors happened not because of monsters under the bed, but because of humans and fear of the unknown.
