The Extreme Scream Haunted House

Wanted to spend a second and put out a review of the Haunted house I recently attended. It's a new Haunted house in the bay area called "Extreme Scream", along the lines of Gyro's World of Terror. It's been started up by a great couple I know who attend my church, and run an event rental business. They're awesome people, and even donated the chair covers from my recent wedding. I was fortunate enough to attend the VIP walk-through tour prior to the grand opening on Oct 4th. It runs through the end of the Month.

So the skinny on the new Haunted house? Pretty cool! Last time I went to Gyro's World of Terror was about 6 years ago, and it was pretty run down and cheesy. Extreme scream is in a 60,000 foot facility and is your typical walk through the maze and see what's around the next corner. Most scenes have animatronic components, and are quite detailed. It's great fun when going through with a group, as you get a change to sport your killer costume, as you experience the maze. One particular scene requires you to walk through a spinning vortex with a strobe light and moving/spinning skulls on the wall. sweeeet!

After running through the scene maze, you enter another 3D maze, which require special 3D glasses. This is done VERY well, and everything seems to be floating in cool 3D fashion. The final room is the killer... another walk through a spinning 3D vortex, that WILL challenge every ounce of balance you have. Talk about a mind trip. Yikes. WAY cool!

Anyhow, it's good times, and just trying to get the word out on it and drum up support. You can check out more info at
