Nightmares Manila — Attraction in Parañaque

You're not just entering a haunted attraction—you're stepping into a fully immersive world of fear, fantasy, and phenomenal artistry. This is not your average scare house—this is the gold standard of horror entertainment in the Philippines.

Nightmares Manila is not just an attraction—it’s an experience. It’s a testament to what can happen when passionate artists, skilled performers, and expert designers come together to scare the living daylights out of people—for fun. If you're looking for a night of unforgettable thrills, Nightmares Manila is the place to be. It’s terrifying, yes—but it’s also inspiring to see such craftsmanship, dedication, and artistry on full display. Bravo to the entire team. You don’t just create nightmares—you live them. What truly elevates them is the sheer talent and dedication of the actors. Every actor fully commits to their role with remarkable intensity and consistency. Their body language, timing, and improvisation create terrifyingly real experiences—whether it’s a silent stare from a lurking figure or a blood-curdling scream from the shadows, each interaction feels personal and unpredictable. The professionalism is obvious. You can tell these aren’t just actors—they’re storytellers, athletes, and horror aficionados, all rolled into one. Whether you're being stalked in the haunted house or chased through the zombie-infested attraction, the cast never breaks character. Their attention to detail, from makeup to mannerisms, proves they take their roles seriously—and the audience is all the more thrilled for it.

Nightmares Manila offers a diverse array of attractions, each meticulously designed to deliver a unique form of terror. The haunted house is a sprawling labyrinth of horror, filled with cinematic-level sets, creepy corridors, and spine-chilling surprises around every corner. The outdoor scare zones are alive with energy and perfectly timed scares, while interactive challenges and escape rooms offer a more psychological kind of horror for those brave enough to try them. Every environment is rich in detail—fog, lighting, sound, and smell are all perfectly calibrated to create a total sensory experience.

What sets them apart is the incredible artistry behind the horror. From the gruesome makeup effects to the detailed set pieces, everything is done with a deep love for the genre. The costumes are movie-quality, the prosthetics are disturbingly realistic, and the lighting design amplifies the unease at every turn. Even the transitions between rooms or themes are expertly done—each attraction feels like a chapter in a well-crafted horror anthology. It’s clear that the creative team puts their heart and soul into...

Overrated. Expensive. Disappointed. Not recommended. Save your money for something else.

Not impressed at all! We came on a Tuesday night. We were a big group of 11. There were lots of delays. The whole process was long despite that it was a weekday and we came at 9PM already. The people-in charge at the main entrance door failed to inform us that the attractions have certain schedule to follow and you have to wait to get in. We waited for more than an hour from purchasing ticket, filling up waivers and to getting inside the room at 10:40PM. We chose the haunted house theme as the staffs recommend (obviously as this was their most expensive attraction and highly feautured by local celebrity vloggers). We expected to see live actors disguised as zombie/ clown or people in makeup, masks and costumes to pop anywhere and scare the s* out of us but nope. Instead, We were greeted by electric dolls and mannequins. There were only FIVE actors we saw inside included the 2 people who greeted us and says the script in english.

Overall, nakaka "bitin" lang because because it was nothing close to the ones we see on youtube by our favorite bloggers. our Expectation was up the roof.

The haunted house was a 2 floor maze type room. Its very dark inside, loud sinnister music is played all throughout. Not good for asthmatics or anyone with lung problems as it muggy, smoky with really poor air ventilation. It takes 20-30 minutes to finish the maze depends on how fast you walk. Lol. It gets boring as you get farther away. The actors are not in character. They seem tired too and just want to get the job done.

When we get to the end part, I overheard my 10 year old niece asking my cousin if that was all it is since the vlogs she saw was more scary as compared to our actual experience. I addressed this to the staff and she said, it might be because they were understaff as some actors took a day off. Ghosts need a break sometimes I guess hahaha

It was Not worth the 699/pax. Too expensive! Id rather you save your money for something else or watch classic horror...

5 stars for the attraction. The actors are always in character! 👏🏻

Low ratings are for the for:

The ripped off parking! Very muddy parking area and there is even a car with broken rear windshield! Don't leave your things. The parking area is pitch black at night. Ladies, please don't park alone!!! You built an attraction but you didn't thought of the parking?! The parking was so packed at night. Since we came at 3pm on the dot, at night it's already double parking, your car couldn't get out at once! And Php100 parking payment!!! Lucky for motorcycles, they'll only pay Php30, but you'll still have to endure the muddy part. BAD LOCATION! Suggestion, park at SM BF or Santana Grove for flat rate. Then walk(Good cardio) or ride the jeep going here. Update, homeowners assoc are the ones earning from the parking. So they built an attraction without thinking of their own parking?! Cafe food was soso. I was expecting that it's good since it looks good selection on Grabfood before. BEWARE of their PH QR for Gcash, Maya and other banks. The transaction isn't showing up!!! If I didn't tell the mom beside me that our account was already deducted, they wouldn't check if our payment got in. They rather pay you double in cash. In Gcash it says "under process" But I had 1,100 in my Gcash!!!

By the way, if you're not a VIP/Vlogger pass, you're not allowed to take photos with the mascot. The photo studio, is expensive. But I get that they need profit there.

Am I coming back? Most likely no. I rather spend my money on a relaxing massage and good food. If you wanna pay to scare yourself, better go to century old houses and...
