I have seen the costumes for the actors at this place while walking around in Salem. They are creepy and halloween-like, but not anything ungodly or super gorey. It is good clean fun. Kids would like it, but not necessarily tell the story when they are thirty of how it has haunted them the rest of their lives More

This hauted house is not for those looking for scarey but for fun. Sure there are a few jumps from the actors that give you a scare but the colorful 3D was amazing! It was great for my kids who are 11 and 9. I wondered how my daughter would react but it was perfect because she was in the... More

Tour Date: 2011-10-11. I only give them one star because they actually showed up to do the tour. It was a bit late and very organized and a really scary adventure. First the Haunted House wasn't open even though we could buy tickets online. They still were looking for actors. Then on a full moon a vampire showed up with... More

Not scary, predictable, and the 3-D effects were just ok, and shouldn't be necessary in a good haunted house attraction. More

Biggest waste of $ in Salem. I was hesitant to write this review, however I will to try and spare others from a similiar fate. Not scary, looks like somebody put this together in 5 minutes in their garage. Cheap, flimsy, dull and a waste of money. Sorry Salem - there is FAR better out there than this. Nightmare Gallery...

This tour starts out entertaining with the 2 tour guides dressing the part of a ghost and the excecutioner from the Salem Witch Trials. It's a walking tour which is very difficult to take part in when there on a crowded weekend, plus it was easy for stragglers to jump on for free. It is pretty informative even though... It... More

The ghost tour takes 20 min of your time walking to max 2 blocks away and this 2 actors they are not even well disguise as the death and a ghost..... it shows they did not do a big effort on representing. The Haunted house is OK. probably kids would like it more, its cool because of the 3D perspective... More

Took this tour with the family on Friday Night, 10/8/10, weather was warm and breezy. The other tours were fairy well booked, so we took our chances with this one. After purchasing tickets, the organizer identified that this was a theatrical tour presenting the Salem Witch Trials from 2 perspectives. The first was that of a girl who started the... More

This 3-D new attractions was a little disappointing. You wore 3-D glasses and walked thru a very small area with holograms on the wall. The actors tried to interact with visitors but it was lame. Had nothing to do with Salem witches etc... Limited time not worth the money More
