Is it scary?
The 288 Scare Factory is where your most frightening fears become reality. As soon as you enter the front door, you will be transported into a realm of terror - a dark twisting maze through rooms populated with creatures from your worst nightmares. Your only goal will be to elude the predators who stalk you through the darkness - to be a survivor, not a victim, of the 288 Scare House..
But is it really scary?
Hey, fear is relative. We do our part by providing hands down one of the scariest haunted houses in the area. Of course everyone has their own particular fear threshold and pet phobias (we like to collect pet phobias). The best answer we can give is that 99% of the people who come out the back door will be screaming. You've got adrenal glands, you be the judge.
Will the monsters touch me?
We have a "no touch" policy - you don't touch us, we don't touch you. Unfortunately, due to the very dim lighting inside the house, you may occasionally come into accidental contact with one of our inhabitants. Our monsters will not grab or maul you.
Can I bring my kids?
By all means, bring the whole neighborhood! Again, fear is relative. We consider ourselves 'PG-13',Children under twelve should be accompanied by an adult. Young children who get to the front door and are too scared to enter will not be forced (not even by their well-meaning parents). Children who are too young to walk through on their own should not attend. We ask that you not carry in babies as this is not safe for the child. At your request, we will hold a spot in line for a family member who stays outside with a small child or baby while the rest of the group enters. We do not recommend The 288 Scare Factory for very young children.
Is there a discount for small children?
No. We do not recommend The 288 Scare Factory for very young children. If you choose to bring them, they will pay the same price as everyone else. Children who are too young or too scared to enter may wait for their party with the usher at the exit.
Do you offer group discounts?
We offer group discounts for parties of 10 or more who pre-purchase tickets before the 2nd weekend in October. Contact Chris Berno at 281-670-1975 for more information.
Are you handicap accessible?
Yes. Patrons in wheelchairs will have no problem negotiating the house. In order to maintain our high safety standards, we do not recommend taking crutches and other such devices into the building. If you must use them, a volunteer will accompany you.
Can anyone come to The 288 Scare Factory?
The 288 Scare Factory is not recommended for patrons with heart conditions, epileptics, expectant mothers, or children under 12 (unless accompanied by an adult).
How long can I expect to wait in line?
Wait times can vary. On most nights you will not wait in line more than 5 to 10 minutes. Even on our very busiest nights, you should only wait in line 20 minutes or less.
How long should I leave my children before picking them up?
Please DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN unattended! The haunted house is a walk-through, not an all night party. Your children can not stay inside unless they continue to pay re-admission. Although we have volunteers outside to address any obvious problems, we are not staffed to provide supervision for unattended minors. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Do you take Credit Cards?
I’m sorry, the credit card machine has been buried but we will have an ATM available on site!
What charity does this benefit?
Funds generated from the event will benefit Dare to Excel Scholarships, Teen Court, Drama Internships, Home Delivered Meals, Brazoria County Youth Homes and the humanitarian clean water project in Carboneras, Mexico through Builders without Borders Inc.
Are you open Halloween?
Gee, do you think anyone would come?
Does anybody ever really ask that last question?
Strange but true.
You didn't answer my question.
If you have questions we didn't answer, e-mail us at DeannaGJohnson@aol.com and we will respond as soon as we can. If enough people ask the same question (or we just think it's an incredibly swell question) we'll add it to the FAQ list.
