When are you open, how much does it cost and how do I get there?

We will be open:

See the directions page for details; COST - $15 adult; $10.00 for children under 12.

Is it scary?
The 288 Scare Factory is where your most frightening dreams 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 Factory.

But is it really scary?
Hey, fear is relative. We do our part by providing hands down one of the scariest haunted house 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 Factory, you may occasionally come into accidental contact with one of our staff. 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 Scare Factory for very young children.

Is there a discount for small children?
No. We do not recommend 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 back door.

Do you offer group discounts?
We offer group discounts for parties of 20 or more who pre-purchase tickets before the 2nd weekend in October. You can purchase discounted group tickets by calling sales at 281.235.3399. (This will be our volunteer coordinators cell phone number)

Are you handicap accessible?
Yes. Patrons in wheelchairs will have no problem negotiating the factory. 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 Scare Factory?
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?
This is our first year 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. There is no indoor waiting area. 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.

What charity does this benefit?
The funds generated during this event will go towards the projected 2007/2008 initiatives that include:

Brazoria County’s Neighbor Day, which supplies construction materials and manpower to local homes in need; Project Graduation; and Teen Court, in which youth sentence their peers for minor delinquent and status offenses and other problem behaviors.

Educational Programs, which include the Dare to Excel Scholarship Fund, the Organize Success at Work (SAW) Program, and a High School Essay contest on Laws of Life.

Humanitarian Programs, which assist to fund two clean water projects – one in India and a second in cooperation with Builders without Borders in Carboneras Mexico.

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 dxan@excessivemarketing.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.
