  • The best in DFW

    Have been going since 2018 and every time I go I still get scared. I've probably been to over 300 haunts in the past 10 years. I travel around the U.S. to look for new haunts. This is a haunted house I always will jump or scream at. I've also done 3 of their VIP tours and the craftsmanship they put into the place is absolutely amazing. The decor, actors, animatronics, staff, etc. is above and beyond.

  • Email Verified Fantastic production!

    Last Saturday my Wife and I went with another couple to what was my 3rd time that I have been to Dark Hour in the last few years. This year definitely lived up to my recommendation to our friends that went with us. In the past there's usually another quick haunt to walk through that is modeled after a hospital, but that's not there this year. Instead they have devoted all resources to the main attraction. I recognized some elements but they have added a lot more areas and themes to it! The stories of the 13 witches and encountering all of them with surprises along the way was very rich and detailed. The set designs were amazing, making you feel like you're traveling from one nightmare to the next into different worlds. One area was a snowy abandoned village in the woods that was pretty amazing. Without spoiling anything else, the actors and costume designs alone you can tell they're really giving it their all this year. I highly recommend going to Dark Hour every year because they're one of the best i've been to!

    Hands down the best. The sets are unbelievable, it's both scary and interesting. It's long and worth every dime. I'll be back. I'm interested in their scary Christmas show. I have to say the facility was great. Actual bathrooms. Just amazing, great experience.

  • Email Verified Hats off!!

    Hats off. The entire team worked really hard providing the best scare of a life along with tons of fun and lots of unforgettable memories to their customers. The makeup was so realistic that we forget it’s all part of Halloween. As we enter it was like a life and death game. So be careful not to die.

    Incredible and worthy of time and money. The actors are committed to their roles and peerless scares. Reasonably priced and good entertainment throughout.

  • Scares freeze my blood...

    One of the best haunted houses I have ever been to. Its hell scary and that I could hear my heart beat clearly in that screaming house. I felt the scares freeze my blood and I almost died out. When you encounter your utmost fear it’s just something you have to experience yourself, beyond words. If you want to know and feel the exact way then pay a visit.

  • Email Verified New set and scares

    The haunt had changed a lot since my last visit a year back. New sets, scares, and creepy characters made it a wonderful experience for me and my friends. The Carl’s Playhouse moved away from the typical clown theme and included new scares and actors. Actors’ costumes were perfect and the particular demented theme was on point. Attention to details in sets were commendable.

  • Simply awesome

    It was my first visit and it was simply awesome. I was impressed with the scenery and attention to details. It featured water, which I have not seen in any other haunts. Its que line stage show was pretty cool and one of a kind as well. The theme was consistent and creative. Special mention of the half man, half wolf character lying on a bed. The playhouse scared the daylight out of my wife. Actors’ makeup was excellent. Worth the drive. Will visit again for sure.

Shadowy followers will never feel you light and shocking music will shoot all your stress.

    Carl’s playhouse was definitely not worth the money we paid… it was too noise and light effects were dizzying… overall it is expensive for below average scares…

  • Spine chilling experience

    I went to Dark Hour with my husband on this year Halloween season. We lucked out and had no line to get our tickets and we had a spine chilling experience inside the house. We had nonstop fun from the time we get there until we left. Clowns and creepy followers were too terrifying. Snow zone was looking so real and tidy. Loved the whole performance.

  • Email Verified Satisfying experience

    Halloween was never so entertaining. Visited the haunt with my GF.. while we waited in the line (a long one it was), all visitors were kept entertained by the casts and it killed any boredom. My favourite character was the Giselle Scuro. Each corner of the haunt house was designed carefully to scare the visitors. It was fun watching those ahead of you jump in terror.. yes, my GF also screamed out loud few times. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

    Waited in line for 3 hours only to be rushed through all the haunts, the scares were cheap and none of us got a wee bit scary… we got into a hustle with one of the employee while parking the car.

    Carl’s play house was amazingly overwhelming… they had a storyline and quite a detailed one and the actors, props and lighting and sound effect are defined and detailed… it was phenomenal… can’t wait to come in again.

  • Email Verified I was pretty startled

    I am a tough guy and I don’t get scared easily. At least, that is what I thought of myself. But the haunted house proved me wrong.. it was one heck of a scary experience. Scares came at unexpected corners and times and I was pretty startled few times. The theme and story line of the both houses were unique. I even felt that I was walking through multiple haunted houses. I came out with my heart pounding, and my tough guy tag in tatters. Now I am planning to bring my GF along.

  • Wonderful fear factor

    An awesome visit it was. I with my 2 friends went to the Dark Hour Haunted House. It resembled one big Hollywood movie set. It had both good actors and modern technology to create the fear factor. The snow, rain, fire, the simulated jeep and other events seen only in theme parks were recreated here with great results. A good time was had by our entire group. Great job!

  • Best in class Halloween experience

    It is absolutely realistic and fun packed haunted house in Texas. I went there in a big group of 9 people. There were lots of flashing lights and many actors. A zeep was coming closer to us between the snow, fire and rain. This gave magnetic impact of horror to our group. I strongly recommend this place to have best in class Halloween experience.

    Wow….amazing scary techniques. The second house was creepier than the first one. One of us even ran at one point.. lol. The ticket rates were OK. My only one suggestion is that make the show a bit longer. Overall, a perfect hang out with friends and well worth money and time spent!! I will recommend this haunt house to all scare seekers out there.

  • Email Verified Not as good as 2014

    They threw together pieces of the whole year--leprechauns, winter, the coven witch, and cyborg--no real cohesive theme and not nearly as good as the 2014 Coven show. VIP downgraded--don't waste your money on this so called extra. The behind the scenes extra is a video to promote crew unity instead of showing the intricacy of the set, which is what it was in 2014. Yes, you get two trips through the house, an opportunity to shoot the air cannon and shake the boo-box bars, cheap snacks, and supposedly a fast pass into the second C-level haunt (we had to wait on regulars before we were admitted)--but given the short lines and average effects, it's just not worth the money. Plus, no more free t-shirt with VIP--only a cheap water bottle and $5 off a T. Skip for a better attraction. Sad to say, they're more about maximizing profit now than building an A-level haunt.

  • Top Notch Halloween Attraction

    I want to take the time to comment on one of the best if not the best places I have gone to for a Halloween Haunted House or event.My buddies and I went this weekend and had the VIP package, I would strongly recommend getting this. You get to go through twice, and going through twice is well worth it just to see the stuff you miss . You get a T-Shirt which you get to pick , bumper sticker and magnet and get to watch a awesome video on the making of the event and another great surprise as well. Really get to see all the time and energy that goes into this place and it shows.All of the people at Dark Hour are top notch. The Haunted walk through is very detailed oriented, great sets, actors and special affects and tricks to surprise you and keep you on your toes. I thought I had see everything and they got me to jump many times. The workers care and are very motivated to make your experience special. The walkthrough itself is about twenty five minutes, and we loved every minute, every turn gave us a cool new experience and they sparred no expense to put together a experience that will last a long time. I strongly recommend that if you get a chance you should go. I live in the North East and would travel back to Texas just to go again.I compare the quality of the set design and make up to Universal Studios Orlando, top notch, however this experience was so much better, they don't make everyone go all at once, instead of waiting hours plus to get into a house at Universal that lasts four minutes if your lucky . You get twenty five minutes of straight fun and scares and in a small group at Dark Hour. I enjoyed two straight hours going through both haunts and the VIP tour, the people and actors are wonderful and once again the sets are top notch.They know how to treat you as the customer, they give top notch customer service, top notch scares and loads of Halloween fun and a gorgeous Halloween Houseenvironment that will appeal to all ages.

  • 2015 Haunt Season

    I had a great time in 2014. Lots of jumps & screams. I don't mind the long lines. If you weren't good, then you would have the long lines. The rooms & costumes were excellent. I would like to see something new in October 2015. Something different than most haunted houses. It seems like all big haunts have the same scares. Is there a giant haunted house Walmart where you guys buy all the same themed stuff? Why don't you go old school this year... Change it up & get creative like you did when you first began. Think out of the box and give us a unique show:)

    Even when busy, Que line moves quickly, and indoors. Great Stage show with dancers, lots of surprises and startle scares, rooms detailed to the max. Roaming Actors to keep the fun going inside and outside.
