Review This Haunt
  • Email Verified A step above the unual "haunted house"

    Unexpectedly fascinating. First, no reiiance on disgusting/degrading gore or just cheap "boos!". This is in a Unitarian church, and it's apparently put on by a huge number of spook-crazy volunteers influenced by Mary Shelley, Margaret Atwood, etc. And Harry Potter. A consistent, followable story line connected one room-experience to the next to the next. It seemed like every inch of the building was used and stuffed with props and deco. Volunteer cast of dozens. Large, brightly lit before-and-after room with snacks and kids games, Harry-Potter themed. The drawback: long waiting line, mostly outdoors, that extended beyond the rain-proof tenting.

  • Email Verified Not your typical jumpscare haunted house

    This haunted house happens at a very New England church which makes it really unique. We went closer to opening and didn't wait in line but I saw the line later was very long. Clearly very popular! There are a bunch of rooms you are guided through in a group of about 15. They had some older references, I Love Lucy and twilight zone but I think they were translatable - my youngest quickly figured out Lucy gets into trouble easily. There were so many actors there playing parts. It was not just scary statues. The rooms upstairs where maybe more physiologically disturbing than jump scares. The downstairs dungeon was creepy, dark and definitely had the jump scares. I heard many people scream down there - definitely not for the little kids. My kids were both over the age of ten and were ok. I think under 7 is probably a definite no-go down in the dungeon. I did see one 5 year old get scared just hearing all the screams while waiting in line. I highly suggest the younger kids go to the daytime, little kid trick or treat. We didn't go but we heard it was very tame, all the lights on and no actors, just the sets. All in all, it was better than any of the "haunted" hay rides I have been too. Those single note jump scares can get a bit old quick.

  • Email Verified Monsters R amazing

    Profoundly entertaining actors embrace their guests in a genuine and charming fashion. Even if you know them personally you will often not recognize them. The commitment demonstrated is a perfect blend of old school and hi tech vehicles and is simply captivating. An annual tradition that will entertain youth and the youth deficient alike. Don't miss it.

  • Email Verified We made a new tradition

    Superb. The Mary Shelly theme was quite unique and the crew brought her characters alive in the old historic church building. It was a nice tour throughout the different rooms and floors of the building. We decided to make it a tradition to come back every year cannot wait.

  • WOW!!!

    WOW!!! It was literally Mary Shelley’s world. You get to be with the monsters, alchemists, Jinn, Mrs Sweeny and Todd. The characters you lived from the novel were brought alive and it looked very realistic. The actors need a special mention for portraying these characters effortlessly. Best haunt in MA for sure!

  • Eerie silence

    AMAZING!! Very much creepiness! It was spine chilling and loved the eerie silence only to be broken by sudden noises. The scares were subtle and looked and sounded realistic.

  • So creepy looking actors

    This place is terrifying! Every actor was so creepy! There were some very creative scares that can blow your mind. Each instance of a movement or a noise is quite alarming as the place is in itself spooky. Loved it and we are coming back.

  • An Amazing, Creative and Spooky Experience!

    First Parish in Bedford's Haunted House is a wonderful experience for children age 8 and older (and adults!) . Creatively conceived with great attention to detail, the tour through the three floors of the historic church building are mysterious and full of creative scariness. Don't miss this annual experience, conceived a master-minded by an intergenerational group of wizards!

  • Unique theme

    An old historic church that looks haunted is all you need to have a scary good Halloween. I have been visiting this place often and this time they had a unique theme that was mind blowing. themed haunts did justice to the novel. There were rooms in plenty over different floors and each had something new to offer. It was creativity at it’s best. The actors were wonderful. It was all out of the blue and caught us unaware. Excellent and I definitely recommend.

  • Email Verified Place looks so realistic

    One of the best I have been to so far. I like visiting haunts and this place was looking so realistic. The old church and all its historic facts were brought alive during the tour. They had good sound effects that made us jump a few times. This is not going to be our last trip.

  • Scary in a fun way!

    Always creative and amazing. The non-scary Saturday day hours for little kids is perfect. The night time is scary and funny with no gore. Sets are super creative with great attention to detail. The Sweeny-Todd pie ladies were a creepy hoot. Home made treats and games at the end. My grandson and I go every year. We went through twice and it was still cheaper than for-profit haunts.
