Great haunt, fantastic people
My wife and I made our first visit to Scream Hollow on Friday, 10/11/19, and we couldn't have had a better time. First, yes, it is quite a drive into the country, down a dirt road, way out in the woods. That gets bonus points from me. The setup is excellent; there is plenty of good food, beverages, bands, restrooms, and even an amazing little quirky gift shop. There are four haunted houses, and three of them I really enjoyed (the only one that didn't really do much for me was "Wicked Darkness", which pretty much a completely blacked out haunted house experience ... I give them creativity and variety points at least). But the other three haunts are quite elaborate and delivered a few genuine scares for me, which is hard to do. But mostly I enjoyed appreciating the artistry and production design of the haunts, which is top notch considering they don't have a massive budget like the mega-haunted houses you find in San Antonio or Austin. And finally, by far the best thing about Scream Hollow is the people. The lady at the front taking tickets was SO excited that it was our first visit. The lady working the gift shop was genuinely excited for us as well, and insisted we come back and tell her about our experience (and was not at all trying to push merchandise sales on us, she was just having fun and making sure we had a good time as well). The performers are absolutely amazing; there are lots of costumed characters that wander, and the characters inside the haunts were just fantastic. A bit of a spoiler: the zombie (think Walking Dead) guy at the gas station was terrifying, and was just as good or better than any of the performers you see on TV (he could lumber at a near jogging speed but look completely "real" and not alive, just wonderful and horrifying to look at!). In summary, this is a great change of pace compared to what you may be used to; give it a try, highly recommended!

Best Haunted Attraction EVER!!
I haven't screamed or laughed so much in my life as I did at Scream Hollow. Sooo glad my son invited me to go! We had a blast going through the different haunted attractions. The cast of characters are top notch and totally professional. The attractions are dark, scary and unpredictable. There are food and drink concessions as well as a gift shop with well prices items. I recommended SH to my best friend who is (or was) a fan of another popular place out in Austin. I insisted she go to SH this year and she was not disappointed. Scream Hollow is my new go to Halloween destination.
