Nightmare On 13th

The Disney Land of Haunted Houses. Everything you’d want in a haunted house and more!
I love their creative themes and how they change them every so often. Many haunted houses repeat their themes for years and it becomes boring to go to them. Not these guys though. They love teasing on social media early in the year what their new attractions are going to be. The variety shakes things up and keeps things lively… or deadly in this case. ;)
The whole experience is very interactive! Right at the entrance there are costumed characters waiting to greet and take selfies with you. You can dance to music, watch scare cams, or fall victim to spooks in the mini theater as you wait in line. You can even interact digitally with the free downloadable picture you take with celebrity horrors.
Inside the haunted house, actors will scare you, but will rarely scream so loud in your ear that it rings in order to scare you (unlike other terrible haunted houses I’ve experienced — quick shoutout to short people, I am sorry for your curse, take ear plugs to those types of haunted houses). The actors are comical if you interact with them and they fill their roles well. The special effects are phenomenal and THERE ARE EVEN SMELLS AND HUMIDITY. Like seriously, that’s over the top awesome!
There are so many positive things I can say about this haunted house. I totally recommend it. If you are worried about prices, there are several discounts and coupons out there if you know how to find them. Please put this place on your bucket list and enjoy your Halloween season. :)

They did very well at scaring both small groups and in the line setting. I will admit when our little group got separated from the line the whole thing was a lot better. Keeps you on your toes. Good at distracting you from the real scare.

There is only one Halloween attraction that I revisit every year. And that is Nightmare on 13^th. Each year it continues to get better and better! They do reuse a lot of things but they change a bunch too. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars from me is the fact that I’m basically just walking through the haunted part in a line so nothing pops out at me because everything is popping out at the people in front of me so I knew exactly what was going to happen. Other than that great props and aesthetics. I will return next year and recommend it this year!

Really let down by this Haunt. I’d heard such awesome things about it, but it didn’t live up to any of my expectations. They have obviously spent a lot of time and money on props and making the place look nice, but it just isn’t scary. Most of the things that pop out at you are just props on timers, and there are so many people in there at once that I feel like my group missed over half the scares because we saw them happen to the group in front of us, so by the time we reached it, it wasn’t even scary. That is my #1 problem with this place. They send WAY too many people in at once. My group of 6 was sandwiched between a group of 4 and a family of 5. It was so crowded, there were multiple times INSIDE THE HAUNT where lines were forming again, just to get to the next room and everyone was missing out on the scares. And this is after we waited in line for over an hour to even get inside. And this was supposed to be the best in 25 years? Yikes. Not worth the time or money. No one in my group had a good time. And the whole place seems a little juvenile, but the good side of that is its kid friendly. I would NOT recommend this attraction to anyone looking to actually be scared. If you want to get your money’s worth out of a haunted house and ACTUALITY be scared, go to Asylum 49 instead.

We went on a Saturday night. We had VIP passes so we got in quickly. Inside the haunted house we were packed into a line and shuffled through each section slowly. There was no one to set a pace for each group so we literally watched the group ahead of us encounter each potential scare before we walked into it. It was hot and humid the entire time. I was kinda bent I paid $ 50+ for a half assed experience in a disorganized attraction. When we were leaving there was no line out front so maybe going later will ensure you don’t get packed into a line and stuck in a crowd the entire time. Won’t be back

If you have small phobias like fear of heights, claustrophobia etc but enjoy being scared then you’ll have a really fun time getting legitimately freaked out! Expect motion sickness, diziness and uncomfortable heat but it all adds to the experience. GET the VIP pass online of you can it was $ 25 for us and totally worth it to bypass the huge line

Out of the 4 main haunted attractions in SLC (Fear Factory, Chaos Castle, Strangling Bros, and here) this one is by far the best this year. ⁵⁄₅ stars! Definitely check it out!
After paying $ 25 online, we drove up around 8:30pm, found parking easily in the lot, and stood in line for 20 mins before starting our scary journey inside. They have great things to see while waiting (huge dragon, video of folks getting scared inside, short videos with voices/​animatronics), so the wait wasn’t bothersome at all.
Once inside, we went through what felt like 25 different rooms each with their own theme. Brilliant! My favorites were the brick wall ledge and the hanging jason masks. There was a ton of variety, and the actors were on their A-​game. It took about 45 mins to get through everything, and you can take a drink/​candy break for cheap at the end and view your formal pictures. We downloaded ours from the website for free instead of buying printed ones.
Awesome haunted house!

I would give it a 5 star! I was genuinely scared and wanted it to end quickly. That’s when you can really say that it does its job perfectly isn’t it? We got the VIP passes on discount and that made it very pocket friendly for us. Overall loved the experience but never going back as I figured I am not that big a fan of scary houses after I watched this one. Clenched on tight to my husband’s arm. Lol

Best haunted house I’ve been to! It has improved so much over the years. They do different things than your usual haunted house. Loved the actors and how they involved so many different movies and themes. Can’t wait for next year!

Good haunted house as usual. Couldn’t decide if I like this, or Fear Factory better. The themes were all cool, and I was glad to see they brought Jason and Freddy back. The name of this haunted house is fitting, so it’s only appropriate they should be here. The foaming at the mouth part was cool, and the vertigo tunnel is always a memorable part for me. Can’t wait to see what they do next year.

This year was my second year in a row to Nightmare on 13^th. I love how elaborate the Haunted House is. The costumes are always great and they have some great hiding places for actors and many are on a spring loaded system so they leap out at you really quickly. They had re-​used some of the ideas from last year but it is definitely worth a visit. Both years I’ve been late at night when the lines haven’t been too long. I wish they could take the photos at the end of the Haunted House when you are excited and scared from the experience rather than before the start. I imagine its too complicated to do that when you need to keep people moving through.

This place is pretty fun however I heard that it completely changes each year and I found that a lot of it was the same. It’s totally worth going the first time but I’d skip it for a few years and go to another place after that.

Another 4 star haunted house review. I must be drunk or something. This place is very very cool.
We got the discounted pricing of course. I don’t go to Haunts without coupons. DUH! I don’t go most places without coupons. In any case I thought $ 34 for two grown adults to go through this well decorated haunt was great. The wait was hardly 20 minutes and the pre-​Haunt entertainment was fabulous. This is obviously a well thought out gig. I was very impressed!
Sammie J. Is obviously MORMON and quite the cry-​baby because I rate establishments like this based on the entertainment value.
I was entertained. And I wish I had been there to see the indignant look on that brats face when somebody called her a bitch. For realz.
Anyways, my only complaint was that it’s not a super long haunt and I got sprayed with BS a few times by snot machines. WHOEVER INVENTED THOSE SUCKS! I hate walking out of a Haunt wet. I wanna go to the bar after and not smell like nasty sadness water with a side of sweaty vomit zit juice. THANK YAH VERY MUCH!
Any-​toodles, great work NightmareOn13th keep up the fantastic work and I can’t wait to see what you do next year. Get rid of the sneeze machines and you got yourself 5 stars.
Another observation made by us was that the actors had a hard time talking with their masks on. I know appliances are more expensive but they are much more expressive. You couldn’t really see their facial movements because of such heavy masks.

This place is so fun

My boyfriend and I went here two weeks ago for his birthday and we loved it so much! Last year we didn’t really care for it, but this year it was amazing! They are always making sure people are spaced out, so you can enjoy it all. Great price of $ 17 dollars a ticket if you go during the week and use a coupon.(: we’ve also been to castle of chaos and haunted forest this year. Castle of Chaos is decent probably better if you go during a week day. The Haunted forest sucks every year, but we thought since it was a new location it would be better. No it’s about a 15 minute walk through if you walk slow, they didn’t separate anyone at all so we had 10 people in front and behind us at all times. However I can’t give my opinion on any others, but so far Nightmare is the best. Hope this helps.(:

I’ve been two years in a row and we’ve had a great time. It’s a little bit different each year so it’s fun to keep going. I find that my face hurts afterwards because I smile non stop the whole time.

My daughter’s Jr. High Dance Company group went there last night (10/​15/​2014) at about 8pm. One of her friends saw Beetlejuice inside the haunted house, and in her excitement, called out to him, «Beetlejuice» three times. The actor dressed as Beetlejuice turned to this 13 year old girl and said out loud for the whole group to hear, «shut up bitch!» Then he walked away. The incident was reported to a female employee there who said she would speak to him. If you are thinking of taking kids there, DON’T! Save your money and and go to a haunted forest where you don’t have to worry about the actors cussing at your children. For $ 17 (discounted price) a person, you would think they would have grown up professional actors working for them. Maybe cussing out the guests, was that cowards way of scaring teenage girls… who knows.

First of all. Don’t advertise 3 all new attractions if in reality it’s two of the exact same ones. The first one was exactly the same as last year except void of people to scare you. Super disappointed in their inability to make some minor changes. They changed the theme but didn’t change anything cosmetically really. This tree I bought the VIP ticket online for 22 $ instead of 37 $ at the window and thank god I did. The lines were ridiculous. In my email it also said get a wrist stamp for re entry. When we asked about it no one knew anything about it. So a manager said she would escort us back to the front. Well, come to find out, we waited 20min for this manager to show and we ended up leaving because we decided it was a waste of our time and our money. As the first review of 2014, take my advise and spend your money else where.

I know this is random since it’s the middle of summer but I was just thinking about it and decided to write a review for the Nightmare on 13^th. I’ve been to this haunted house every year for the last five years and it’s hand down my favorite! It seems like each year they do something different that’s creative AND scary. I think they change out their themes every year, which probably explains why I feel like each year is different! They do a really great job with everything and their actors are top-​notch… like I went to Fear Factory last year, too, and their actors just seemed so… amateur lol. The people at Nightmare on 13^th really gave me and my friends a good scare! The price is definitely worth it, too, especially the VIP tickets because I don’t really like to wait in lines. Totally worth it!

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME WITH NIGHTMARE ON 13TH unless you are really keen on waiting over an hour just to get into the same crap from last year (but now with smell interaction) that made me and my friends almost vomit several times! And it was short lived and the actors had TERRIBLE B.O.
I waited in Line for over an hour and 45 mins just to get in, only to be rushed through some of the foulest smells and un-​original use of props and space I have ever seen only to come out at the end in 15 mins and trying to get the smell and nausea to go away! But if you’re a TWEEN and you want low quality, enjoy over spending and like to wait in line all night long then this is definitely your scene.
