Happy Halloween!
2014 seems to be the year of the extreme haunted house. Mainstream media and sites are covering haunts like Blackout, McKamey Manor, Freakling Bros and others writing articles for and against (mostly against). I've given you the 5 Basic Levels of Haunted Houses. There is just a type of person that loves the extremeness of it all. But as more extreme haunts begin their initial inception, let's talk about the one that seems to...

Reaper's Revenge Haunted House (Review)
Posted on 8:00 PM by the jaded viewer
I thought I was done with my haunted house road trips. In total, I've been to 7 already this month. But when opportunity arises to go to 1 more, who am I to say no?
So I found myself near Scranton, PA and with family in tow I dragged them to a haunt that touts itself as America's Best Haunted Attraction. It's a bold strategy Cotton let's see if it pays off for them. And does it? After going to Reaper's Revenge, it kinda does.
Reaper's...

Gateway's Haunted Playhouse 2014 (Review)
Posted on 1:00 PM by the jaded viewer
You never really know what you'll expect when you go to a haunted house. The night before you go, you start dreaming up worst case scenarios, the unthinkable, the WTF. These dreams become nightmares, frightmares and terrifying dreamscapes. When you wake up, you start to realize it's all in your head. Your mind playing tricks on you.
Then you head to the haunted house. Relatively ready and prepared that none of what you dreamed up couldn't actually...

Nyctophobia 2014 (Review)
Posted on 1:00 PM by the jaded viewer

The first question in Nyctophobia's FAQ is: What is Nyctophobia? The answer they provide: Correct. Well that's just vague and odd. Some clarity would help I think.
But that's the beauty of Nyctophobia. You're not going to get a straight answer. What you experience is a mystery hidden in another mystery. It's a journey that's both visceral and immersive that its hard to even explain after you've gone through it. And you know what else it is?
It's...

Adam Green has done 15 Halloween shorts and he continues it this year. I've featured these before and they are always fuckin awesome.

Here's the synopis:
A quick Skype call between a husband and wife on Halloween night takes a disturbingly dark turn in Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN) and ArieScope Pictures' 16th annual Halloween short film starring Shawn Ashmore (X-MEN,...

Blackout Haunted House: 2014 House (Review)
Posted on 1:00 PM by the jaded viewer

Let's talk horror remakes OK?
Some people love horror remakes, some don't. Some people fall somewhere in the middle. I'm one of those people who falls in the middle. I loved the Evil Dead and The Ring remake, others hated it. I hated the Friday the 13th and the Nightmare on Elm Street remake, some didn't. You're also going to get some horror remakes that were just good but not great. Maniac comes to mind. Horror remakes can divide horror...

Waldorf Estate of FEAR Haunted House (Review)
Posted on 10:00 PM by the jaded viewer

The final leg of the Pennsylvania Haunted House road trip with The Jaded Viewer and The Raven and Black Cat took us to The Waldorf Estate of Fear aka The Haunting at the Waldorf. Located at Lehighton, PA, it's hard to gauge what a haunt will be like as you first enter. Everything looks like a county fair in the middle of nowhere. The drive over to the Waldorf was filled with backroads and endless cornfields and as all our phones began to...

Field of Screams Haunted House (Review)
Posted on 8:00 PM by the jaded viewer

There is nothing like going on a haunted house road trip with some haunted house veterans.
That was the case last weekend when I headed to Pennsylvania with the crew of The Raven and Black Cat to partake in a double dose of haunted house goodness. The first stop was Field of Screams in Lancaster, PA.
Having been on many top haunted house lists, Field of Screams sits on a quaint American town where Main Streets seem to be Leave...

Nightmare New York Haunted House (Review)
Posted on 9:30 AM by the jaded viewer
I love my city. It's got almost everything you can think of. If you want to buy a pair of swimming goggles and grape drink, the corner bodega probably has it. You've got nightlife, restaurants and culture. NYC really is the greatest. But it wasn't always this way.
Back in the 70s and 80s, it was a living breathing cesspool of fucked up depravity. Millennials weren't born yet so giving them a chance to time travel to this evil version of NYC...
