This was the scariest! The scares were there all around and there were loads of surprises. The props were used in plenty and it was able to create fear in our hearts. My brother pissed himself lol!! A nice haunt for a Halloween night.

Had an amazingly good time at the haunts of Darkness Rising. It was an all encompassed Halloween package with fun and good load of scares. There were several rooms with great visuals. The atmosphere was filled with haunted music and we liked the actors who doled out lot of scared. The managed it well even when it was thronged with people. A decent haunt outing for the entire family.

Loved the haunts at this place. Good theme and fresh scares were there through out the haunts. A good storyline was followed through out. There were various rooms and it was quite interesting. The scares managed to keep us on our heels. You go around like a crazy nut and if you are lucky you will not loose your shoes. The actors can pursue you till the end. It was an excellent performance by them. Animatronics were put to good use. You feel amazed at the enormity of it. Overall, a great evening.

Definitely making a tradition out of this place every year. Good effects, talented actors and reasonable ticket rates. Definitely scary I had my group screaming whole time and everyone was enjoying their time at darkness. The price was great for the fun. Sure will visit again.

Got to know about this haunt through a friend and I checked it out last week. Not bad. I liked the way it was organized. Completely professional about everything. The lines inside the waiting area was managed well. Though they made us wait for long, they were able to provide a hassle-free haunt which we were able to enjoy upfront. was on display from the start. The actors too had great role to play. Top notch makeup and costume make them look their part really well.

Very exciting, and very thrilling. The setup was so good and well organized. When we reached the place was crowded but lines move really fast. Inside it was a scare feast with tons of laughing screaming and running moments.

Amazing and scary attractions. It was fun filled and we had a blast. Actors were spontaneous and interactive. Each room had scenes that were a part of a story. Visual effects, haunting music filled the atmosphere with fear. Well designed and very well managed. We were happy to see the children enjoy most of it.
