THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME, the 3D animatronics were scary good! Looked like real people. The actors were perfect hiding in all the right spots to scare you, and they wouldn't stop following you! The best part was losing my phone inside and thinking I would have to get a new one ‍ thankfully one of the managers(Bobby) got right on top of it and I didn't wait not more then 15 mins before they were able to find my phone! Highly recommend this place and definitely will be returning for the Christmas Themed Scares. More...

My daughter loves haunted places so last year we drove up from the Wilmington, Delaware area.  184 miles and 3 hours 15 minutes drive one-way and it was so worth the spur-of-the-moment trip!  The effects and actors were fabulous!  The wait outside was probably 10 minutes but flew because we had so much fun talking with everyone in line.  You can definitely tell this attraction is a labor of love from the whole team. Well done!!!  We're planning another trip this year! More...

Paid $83 for two VIP tickets so we didn't wait outside very long at all but then you do have to wait in another line to get into the haunted house area regardless if you bought vip or not. The lines didn't bother me really but I wasn't too impressed with this place to be honest. Had some cool stuff for sure but definitely something more for kids. If you have any kids take them here but if you're adults then I suggest going to Legends of fear only 20m away. That place was terrifying even for us adults and the same price! More...

Fright Haven was very fun. Scary but still family friendly. After we went to Blue sky diner and it's smelled of aquarium immediately. This is despite not serving seafood. My burger was mediocre but the diarrhea was top notch. Moral of the story never eat at blue sky diner but fright Haven is ight. 5 stars More...

Fright Haven Blind Rage was a great time & a great way to end my daughter's birthday! We had a mixed group ranging from "not easy to scare. .. to crying because they're so scared" actors worked accordingly.... GREAT FUN for all! So glad we live close to this year round haunted house! Well done Fright Haven! More...

It was so much fun. It was pretty scary. We have gone to many Haunted houses in several states for many years. This  was our first time here. We went Halloween night. It was so worth the price. Loved it. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. And all the actors gave 110%. Special effects were fantastic. ---We only had one issue. The guy after the body parts in bags needs to be talked to. He spoke so vile to the two women I our group and only the women. It really crossed the line. One of our women was young and the other was a senior citizen. He blocked them in a corner and used serious profanity and said he would do the most God awful things to them. Someone needs to check out his problems. More...

Went tonight! It was actually fun!! And "scary". Hahaha!!! Not cheesy dumb like you expect. The only haunted houses I've ever done have been at Universal in Orlando. The 3D part of it was almost on par with Universal. But I was very happy with it!!! I'm kicking myself for saying out loud "oh that creepy guy didn't scare me HAHHAA" literally less than a minute later, the SAME guy finds me and scares the living crap out of me!! LOL!!!! My own fault for that. But lots of laughs and lots and lots jumps and yelps. Hehehehe. Glad I went. Don't spend the $$ for VIP just wait in line for the regular tix. Was only about a 30 minute wait. :) hope this helps.  !! More...

The line experience was divided indoor/out door and was slow but they provided a lot of entertainment which is key when it comes to events with long wait times. The indoor attraction was ok they had cool 3D portion. Not really scary tho. I recommend bringing first timers to this attraction. It’ll be a good way to prep them for scarier attractions More...

Decided to do this with another couple as like a Halloween double date and it was absolutely amazing!! It was a pretty long haunted house and the scares just kept coming. It was not only people but sounds, gusts of air, actual animatronics! The 3D section is unlike anything I've ever seen and at one point I was actually crawling through the haunted house! It's such a and diverse experience I never expected it to be that cool! I definitely would recommend! More...

That moment when that man told me in the beginning to face him and to not turn around, I just knew something bad was going to happen. . I felt my entire body overwhelmed with fear and I turned numb than somebody grabbed me from behind and put a bag over my head. I started to feel like I was choking/suffocating from it too than I panicked and went into a rage..I didn't except that AT ALL! It was supposed to be fun and exciting but it wasn't. IF I have known that was going to happen, I would have never went! It ruined most of my experience..I didn't start to enjoy it until the last 10 minutes. Other than the Blind Rage event, I do like Fright Haven! More...

I've been to the Christmas themed haunted house twice, so I am basing my review off of that.

Pros: The pacing is fantastic, they wait a good 3+ minutes between groups before sending the next one in so you truly get to walk through just in your group and never run into the people in front of you. In fact, we are even told to take our time and really soak in the scenery. This is a HUGE bonus, though the front entrance guy seemed to allude to the fact that during halloween they push people through at a higher rate. Nothing worse than walking through a haunted house conga line style. There was a lot more actors than I expected for a haunt that is presumably much lower attendance than halloween time. Several rooms has multiple actors, you never went too long without interacting with someone. Several actors really swung for the fences. Last year I was separated from my haunt parter, this year we were often cornered and the actors physically prevent you from moving on until they've had their fun with you. Huge props to the guy with the chain and the Slipknot mask who was extra intimidating and realllllllly made you wait to move on. *The actors making this event worth visiting*. They do a canned food drive and if you bring a non-perishable food item to donate they give you $10 off the door price (which knocks it down to $20) appreciated for both the price reduction and the encouragement to help others.

Cons: It took 12 minutes to walk through, I'm sure they made use of every inch of that warehouse but for the price it always feels disappointing when it ends so quickly. They use fake snow that is just bits of plastic, it dumps on you while you stand in line. Looks cool at first until you realize it's not going to dissolve when it hits you and instead you'll be shaking out of every inch of your clothing for the next week. The set decoration and props are good for what I'd imagine is a lower budget haunt, but nothing spectacular. Lots of flat black walls.

Overall, if you're looking for production value along the lines of something like a 13th Gate, Netherworld, House Of Shock or even Lake Compounce Haunted Graveyard, this isn't it. Know what you're going in for, have fun with the actors and you'll have a blast though. The Xmas haunt is a nice way to fill your haunted house needs during the off season.

Unfortunately I've become desensitized to scary stuff but this place is a blast. They put so much effort, attention and detail into every inch of the attraction and the actors never break character (despite my obnoxious attempts to make them). Tonight was my second time attending an event here and I'm looking forward to become a regular. I only have two complaints; I think it's a bit overpriced (although you do get what you pay for, so I shouldn't complain when I'm being cheap) and I'd love to see them crank up the scares to the extreme!

I went on Friday night with my friends it was the four of us. We freaking loved it ! It was an amazing experience, scary as heck and we screamed a lot haha what can I say . . they did an amazing job ! I have never attended a Haunted Christmas House ... and by the looks of this one id for sure do it again. One small negative factor was the snow that kept falling ... it was really itchy and way too much of it fell down while we waited. I would just leave that part off or just do it once at the entrance and call it a day. Otherwise, great job to the crew and the scenery inside was really gorgeous and well creepy haha. More...

I went to the Valentines Day Massacre with my friend, and loved it!! Such a unique idea I love that they do different themes through out the year. The line was a little long but it was okay, it moved fast and they had people walking by in character to keep us scared and entertained lol. We were next to go in and suddenly the power went out!! The employees remained super professional, very apologetic and were ready to offer anyone in line that needed to leave, VIP tickets for another haunt.. We tried waiting it out hoping the power would come back and about 15 minutes later it did so we were super pumped!!! (Poor girl in front of us who was part of our group came in from New Jersey and was just about to leave when power came back lol!) The 2 gentlemen at the front door collecting tickets were super sweet! The attraction itself was awesome you can tell they put a lot of work into it. Will most DEFINITELY be back! Thank you guys everyone there was great, from the ladies at check in to security at the end :) More...

The best thing that can happen to a haunted house is for it to be run by people who seem to love haunted houses. Freight Haven hits the nail on the head. Not only are the haunts always fun - the staff is polite, helpful, and responsive. Freight Haven is also doing stuff that other haunts simply are not doing. Valentines Day, Christmas, full contact haunts... and now this weekend a Friday The 13th haunt. It’s like Halloween in July and I CANNOT thank the staff and cast enough. More...

Pretty cool haunted house. Great attention to detail in the sets, decorations, and actors. Went there on a Sunday evening and waited for about 20 minutes in line. The walk through was about 20 mins and the sets were amazing. I don't get startled too easily but I was startled a few times during the walk through. More...

Really awesome place! Won contest tickets to their special Valentine's themed haunted attraction, so free passes is always a great start. Friends decided to join in, then winter storm Nico hit and we couldn't go for our regularly scheduled time of Friday at 7pm. Luckily this place is a class act and allowed us to redeem the tickets on Saturday instead. The wait wasn't too bad since we got there early, VIP cutting ahead definitely pushed it back to about 30 minutes- so if you can splurge, VIP seems worth it. The scare factor itself is about 6- they pop out of nowhere! But sometimes they are just following you around and screaming at you, however the decorations, installations, and interactive rooms bring up the entire experience to a solid 9/10! Really cool 3D area, and some great acting. I had to drive an hour from New York and I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience, would go again, and the feeing was mutual amongst my friends. Hoping they do more special weekend thrills and not just for Halloween! More...

Can't believe the negative reviews for Fright Haven. The bad reviewers clearly don't understand the incredible amount of work that goes into the production of a haunted attraction. Not only is this their first year back open, this is their first year in the Stratford location. Just this summer the building was still a dumpy abandoned gym. It is amazing what they have been able to do in just a short time. The attraction is fantastic! As someone who has attended over 20 haunted attractions this season alone, Fright Haven is high class. Many of the local negative reviews are saying "Trail of Terror is better and longer". You also cannot compare an outdoor attraction, that has collected millions of dollars in revenue for years, to a brand new INDOOR experience. I attended Fright Haven on opening night and again on closing night of the season. The attraction was so much better in just that short time! I sincerely believe they will continue to make the attraction better for next year! IT WILL continue to grow.If you are someone who loves haunted attractions or are looking for a fun local attraction Fright Haven is for you! Do not let someone else invalid negative opinion keep you from experiencing this attraction. Fright Haven IS SCARY, and you will absolutely have a good time if you go in with a fun group and an open mind. As for kids, It depends how brave they are! More...

Had a great time. Purchased a Groupon ticket for 2 at $39. We went the first Saturday it opened, so there wasn't much of a wait for us to get in. For me, the scariest part was at the beginning, since I had no idea what to expect and I led our group. Definitely jumped and screamed quite a few times. The attraction started off strong with the scare tactics, but midway through, right before we got to the clown area, I'm not sure if it was because my eyes adjusted to the dark by then, but I was able to see where the actors were standing/hiding before they saw me, so by the time they saw me and tried to scare me, it just wasn't happening. Also, the actresses/clowns at the end, the ones just screaming commands at us, were kind of annoying. I couldn't really hear the words they were saying so it was hard to understand what they wanted, I was more confused about what was happening there than scared. Overall, I still recommend, I feel like what I paid was worth the scare I got. The clowns, and 3D section at the end were a little disappointing, but the actors, and props at the beginning were awesome. More...

Great Haunted House! Its early in the season so there was no line and a very short wait to get in. Actors outside to start the fun while you wait. They offer a VIP pass to skip to the front of the line for a little more $$$ i might be worth it in a long line and colder weather. The props are pretty impressive looking, lots of scares lots of actors who are super into it. Even has a 3D component. A very fun night and love that they are open rain or shine! Only reason i didn't give 5 stars is even though there were only 2 people in front of us in line we waited for about 10 minutes to get in. I didn't mind until i got in and saw there was PLENTY of room to wait and line up inside and no reason to keep people waiting outside shivering. Would go back for sure though. More...
