What is the meaning of this non-Al Azar Grotto haunted house nonsense?

Went to the House of Shock last night. Very Satanic and not very scary. I normally don't do Haunted Houses but I was not very impressed with it last night especially for 25 dollars a person.

I like Mortuary better, 13th Gate in BR is the best IMO. I think house of Shock is great if your best ideal of scary movies are those directed by Rob Zombie, and you are somewhat sympathetic to the teachings of LeVey.


I miss the old haunted houses, when there were like ten and you could afford to go to 3-4 a night and you never waited longer than 30 minutes to an hour to get in. Chinchuba, Sheriff Foti's, Lakeside, one in Kenner, one in Elmwood and a few in neighborhoods. House of Shock started in a back yard.

It's just too much now and you have to wait nearly two hours to get in.

I went to House of Shock two years ago and it was beyond terrible. It's new owenership that saved it from closing down, and they shouldn't have bothered.

Never been to Mortuary but have heard good things.

For my money and time, I'd buy a line skip pass and go to 13th Gate. It truly is a first rate haunted house and one of the best in the nation. I've been to haunted houses all over the USA, and very few impress me with their attention to detail and makeup/actors. 13th Gate last year was great, and I look forward to going this year.

The line-skip pass is more expensive but it comes down to how much you value time. An extra $20 to prevent waiting 2-3 hours to me is worth it.

I was dragged to the mortuary this year. It sucked and it's more expensive than house of shock

I liked both but would give a alight nod to the mortuary. However there is a bar and people sellig shots at the house of shock so if you wait in line, at least you can drink. 13th gate is a good one, fun. I want to go to the escape rooms at 13th gate.

I really like the haunted hotel we went to in vegas.

I went to House of Shock about 15 years ago. There was a swamp scene and I got drilled in the balls by an animatronic alligator while I wasn't paying attention


Would not recommend

A house that is designed to scare people has never been scary to me because.. I am expecting them to scare me. But if they charge $25 a head, good for them. It seems like people love that shite.
