Fear Factory

This haunt hasn’t been open for a full season until this past year and it definitely shows. There are some really good things going for it, but they still have a long way to go to get things up to snuff compared to some other haunted attractions out there. There are some talented actors and some really cool things happening, but they need a lot more of that.
The night that we visited, they had a lot of call outs and a few other issues with some props/​effects were a bit broken or misfiring. These things happen and again, they’re still very new. However, don’t think this is a haunt that is well established yet, they’ll get there though, hopefully.
For now, I’d say check it out if you’re in the area, but be aware that they still have a lot of growing to do.
If you want a more in depth look at what Fear Factory offers, check out my full review here:

First, a group of couples and I with my boyfriend, wanted to go to a haunted place/​Halloween attraction. Everything around the area is just so expensive and always crowded. Someone then heard about Fear Factory, with a reasonable price and a reasonable distance. And we go.
We arrive to the destination and kind of suprised of the outside look of it. Again, keeping the open mind, we continue.
As we walk in, it’s dark with few lights around us and bouncers around the area to keep it calm (I appreciated that part), and headed into the line to buy tickets. In line, we heard screaming coming from each attractions from people in it. Thinking that the lines were long, we decided to just go to one attraction.
Going in to the line, it was suprisingly short and waited about 10 minutes. As we were waiting in line, there were actors there, scaring people, and keeping up with the suspense.
Going through the attraction was suspenseful, scary, thrilling, fun, and always moving. It was just heart-​racing, a lot of running, as you’re scared of the actors coming in every which way. We ended up running out of the attraction, screaming our heads off from what we just experienced. We loved it though.
Based on the short lines and the great experience from the first attraction, we decided to go and buy a ticket to the second attraction.
Line was just as short and got in quickly. This was definitely scarier, and shorter in time as we ran faster. This was just as good, even better.
After that second thriller, all the girls had to go to the bathroom, and guys join, as we heard that even going to the bathrooms is scary. We went through the doors that leads to the bathroom and it takes you into a long hallway, completely gray. At the end of that long hallway, there was another one… as suspense is just building up. We finally arrived to the bathroom, which happens to be next to a break room for the actors. Seeing them, they were still in character, making you nervous and getting scared. One of the girl and I went into the women’s bathroom to go our business. As I came out of the stall, a girl came out of her stall, quickly came up to me as I wash my hands and screamed hello. Not realizing she was one of the actress. I screamed. The other girl then came out of her stall, hesitant to come out, after hearig me. She washed her hands and as she was doing that, that same actress said hello in a creepy, young girl voice. She exits the bathroom, then me and her starting talking about that whole incident.
Another actress slams the door open, and screamed on top of her lungs, scaring the shit out of us. And the girl with me said omg that was scary. And she went charging at her, then we went around her, screaming out of the bathroom, to our boyfriend who were waiting for us. I was just so scared and ran down the long hallways and got out of fast as I could. I
That was just an experience and that was just worth everything dollar, $ 30 for both attraction. I definitely recommend it. I loved it.

I went to this haunt with an open mind and didn’t let the previous 1 star review persuade me.
I am SO glad that I did!
They were very busy and I paid for both attractions. It is well worth paying extra for a speed pass because the lines get long! The sets were extremely detailed and each haunt well thought out. It freaked me out real good and the actors kept you guessing where the next was popping out from.
Grab a few friends and see for yourself, but do not bring any kids under 10 – 11. There is no way they would goto sleep after that!

The «Fear Factory» boasts the LARGEST and SCARIEST in NJ. With two attractions with 15 – 20 minutes for EACH attraction.
After buying out tickets we were told the attractions were only 20 minutes total.
The reality is «Fear Factory» was the shortest one I’ve EVER gone to in NJ. Each attraction was approximately 10 minutes long for a TOTAL of 15 – 20 minutes.
I went on a Saturday around 8 pm. There was no atmosphere. No strobe lights, no fog machines, no scary music. It was pretty quiet and HOT. Almost everyone around us were fanning themselves, complaining of the heat, talking about feeling the need to pass out, it was NOT pleasant. The people walking around during the wait lines were not impressive– not great makeup effects, just some cheap plastic masks.
The attractions themselves were EXTREMELY short– with no strobe lights, fog machines, etc. The whole thing was lit entirely too bright. Unlike the website says, there are NO moments of complete blackness, it was not scary at all, with low-​budget anamatronics.
The actors seems to be into it but things were off. Along the attraction the actor’s water bottles were just scattered along the trail — I had to step around them all-​there isn’t anywhere else to put them?
I have been to about 6 haunts in NJ– and this one was the worst — by far.
I’ve had Unilocal for over 5 years, have rated over 70 business, several of them, Haunts throughtout NJ/​PA I attend. This rating is what, I feel, my experience there deserved. Since I paid over $ 50, for 20 minutes worth of time, I feel I earn the right to rate my experience honestly.
I’ve noticed all negative comments about it being short/​hot on Facebook get deleted.
