    Definitely worth going. It's a professional scare house and the scares ARE scary...You'll either be crying or screaming the whole way through!

    Went tonight! moi (25) and my two friends both 27.

    its good, but if you aren't spooked by things that go bump in the night its more an experience then scary!


    the two girls screamed their heads off all the way through where i found it funny and laughed all the way through it!

    definitely worth the €10 we paid (student discount) and its not really for kids!

    Its only scary if your a child/girl/stoned. Its really just a load of kids in masks hiding in the dark and going WooOOOOooo when you least expect it. Not scary at all. But then again Im ridiculously tough and nothing scares me ;)

    It wasn't great. They let far too many people in when we were there so the actors lost the opportunities for occasions of surprise by jumping out. For the most part it was just a bunch of costumed "actors" walking around the place. About 75% of the punters were teenagers, btw.

    i found that too, i saw most of them running back into place, and because the group behind were right next to us, they'd do nothing until the whole group was there at which point id have passed the 'scare' point!


    there were an awful lot of teenagers there the night we went too, im guessing its their target market!

    Well we went there last night and have to say the same. It wasnt scary but a good buzz. And all was good until this pack of twatty, rude, load bunch of kids broke up or group and started screaming and being very nasty to some of the actors (i really worry about todays kids himself even spotted one young girl giving out to one of the actors for looking at her).

    Tis fun and something differant but defo have less in there even have someone watching inside to make sure the groups dont get overcrowded

    four of us went and its more scare tactics than anything was kind of disappointed. the outfits looked cool though. when we were there it was savagely overcrowded with young ones so we went to the fast q for 18euro and still qeued 40mins when the other queue was a tenner for a 3hr wait.
    strangely enough I enjoyed it as it was different but not worth 18euro or a 3hr wait

    Madness - went last night, grabbed a drink in Sextant for hour until queue died down about 9pm, Hardly any queue outside, bit of a one inside but broken up by freaky fellas running about the place which was quite funny. Depending on who is in front of you/behind you (i.e. screaming teenagers) it can be annoying, though we had great craic frightening the life out of 4 of them at one stage. Paid ten in with college id, fast track thing ridiculous obviously. Total queing time 20 minutes I'd say. The full price of 12 euro for normal entry is a bit saucy, you certainly wouldn't pay any more than that. Still all in all if you go slowly and with smaller crowds, good craic.
