Fright Nights — Attraction in Florida

This was the Worse year I’ve ever experienced at Fright Nights! My family and I go every year and always have a great time. This year was a completely different. First we are on the email list, and Facebook page so we made sure we purchased advance discounted tickets like we always do. It helps make it a fun affordable evening. This year the advance tickets only covered 3 of the 4 haunts, which it used to be for all 4 haunts. So you were covered for the whole event pre purchasing your tickets. They did not even make this known until you show up and get your pre purchased admission and haunt (tickets) cards. It’ll actually end up costing you 10 more dollars per person to go through the 4th and final haunt. What a rip off!! Then on top of that, the scare zone before the lines sucked this year it was just a foggy open area with a few actors hanging out in a circle. Nothing compared to past years, where it was a winding very cool setup with actors scaring you throughout making it a lot of fun. Then when you exit the haunts there was nothing. This area used to have props and actors also making exiting the haunts fun as well. Now it’s basically just a dark fenced in area letting you down. There wasn’t even a Dj this year just music playing and no actors trying to scare you while waiting line or anyone performing on stage making waiting in line boring, long, and terrible as well. This was also our first year we actually had to purchase RIP tickets which is just another rip off, having to pick an exact time to use them for one haunt costing you another $15 per person. We really used to look forward and loved coming to this event every year. This year was a real disappointment. Costed way more money than it ever has with all the additional costs (having to buy more tickets for final haunt) and you actually get way less of a experience for what your paying. Then on top of that if they weren't including all the haunts in there advance ticket purchase, they should of disclosed this information and let you know, or atleast give you a option to prepurchase everything online like we always used to. Also if you want to raise your prices you should try to offer more, not take multiple scare areas out of the event. It’s really sad but after this year we probably won’t be returning after years of bringing my family for a fun, enjoyable evening. It’s just No longer worth the price for the quality of the haunts and long wait times, just not as fun as it always was and still should be. Seems like they’re getting greedy, and offering...

Take a lot of the reviews here with a grain a salt. If you're a true horror/Halloween junkie looking for a thrill, of course this event isn't going to be an intense or truly scary experience for you. But it is a well-done event that provides some good family fun, entertainment and jump scares here and there.

I personally thought the houses were great! There was a variety of special effects used in each house. The scare actors were phenomenal. They were all super into their roles and very creepy, and made it an immersive experience. I was honestly surprised by the amount of scare actors in each house, it seems like there was one around every corner and they were popping out of places you didn't expect. I wouldn't call the experience itself scary, more like a buildup of anticipation because you didn't know when/where to expect a jump scare, and in some rooms you couldn't see around you (fog, strobe lights, etc.) The actors were so good at scaring people even in the middle of the bunch. Overall it was fun and entertaining, our party had some good screams and laughs. My advice is to walk slow, we went slowly in each house and there was nobody in front of us so walking into "empty" rooms was eerie.

Went Saturday night, our longest wait for a house was just under 30 minutes. They have a DJ for entertainment and a few dance shows for while you're waiting in line. I'm giving 4 stars because I do feel if you're paying $40 per person you should have access to all 4 houses and not have to choose 3 out of those. The food prices were also pretty high but what do you expect...

Awful handling of their casting call. More fair to call it a first-come-first-serve sign up, no actual "casting" or consideration for talent. The house leaders were not wearing anything differentiating them from the rest of the people there, making it incredibly difficult to locate them, and by the time I had, all the paid spots for their houses were full. Literally the first person to approach them saying they wanted to be in that house got in. How is the event supposed to be any good if they clearly don't care about who they are "casting" and not acknowledging talent at all?? I was then put on a "callback list" to MAYBE get a role if somebody on the "cast" dropped out OR if they realized at rehearsals that they actually didn't like that person as much for the role and would've preferred me... is the point of a casting call not to do this? To place people in roles they're best at???? You don't do that at a rehearsal- literally take away someone's role because of your own negligence? Additionally, no consideration at all was given to those of us who went to their Scare Actor Training in August and showed interest there early on. Needless to say, I didn't continue with Fright Nights and recommend you go to another haunt if you want a place with good actors who were actually selected based on their talent to get your money's worth. Disorganization of the casting call likely speaks on their...
