Guide Review - House of Torment
They've switched up the inside so long time return visitors to the House of Torment will discover much that's new, different, confusing, and awesome. From the moment you sit down to listen the rules of the house, you're on edge. And the experience continues with shadowy passages, thumps, bangs, strobing lights, things that come out of unseen doorways, something that scampers across the walls, and smells. There are nauseating smells to go with some of those gag-inducing scenes.
There is obviously a lot of attention to detail that goes into to creating the House of Torment experience. It's heavy on the gross-out factor with plenty of monsters in the dark.
Due in part to its central location, heavy publicity, and long-time existence, the lines are often quite long to buy tickets and to enter the attraction. Be prepared to wait.
