Old Town Haunt in Pasadena



Last night we went to Old Town Haunt in Pasadena. It was scary! It takes you in the "catacombs" underneath this bank that was said to be haunted (and for some parts you have to climb through a tiny pitch-black tunnel on your knees!). Apparently it was built on an old mission site where people used to torture and kill enemies to the Church. And in its construction, lots of people died in freak accidents, including the Bank owner's daughter, who they found to be locked inside the bank vault for 9 days (or so they say).

My impressions were that the haunted house was very well made. The actors were very committed to their roles and the props were very life-like. I was only scared by one of them though: this creepy Samara-type character (from The Ring) who bent over backwards and started walking on her hands and feet really fast! SO creepy! That one gets me every time!

But ultimately, I still prefer the Haunted Forest in American Fork, UT. By far the best haunted ANYTHING! It takes a lot longer to get through (Old Town Haunt was only about 15 minutes) and there is a little more variety of scares (i.e. themed rooms from different scary movies).

But I still loved it. Great fun, it got me in the Halloween mood.

I agree with you about the Haunted Forest. We went there the night before Halloween and it was fantastic.
