Reaper’s Revenge Haunted Attraction

Been to quite a few haunts between PA and NJ and Reaper’s is probably the best, so any claims they make are pretty much supported. The atmosphere is set well in a forest setting, the actors take their roles serious, the staff make it as creepy as possible, and there are legit scary moments. Now, the attraction is divided into four parts; last time I went it was only three. Each portion is approximately thirty minutes each, so for the price you’re getting a good value.
Yes it is very interactive but that’s understandable considering the attraction. However, the actors might be so into their roles they can get a little jerky and rough.
Lines can be dumb long too, but that’s to be expected.
Will be going again tomorrow on Halloween because I haven’t seen Sector 13 yet. Pretty excited!!!

THE BEST Haunted attraction I have ever been to hands down. period!

I had high expectations based on other friend’s recommendations, and I will say they were met. To sum it up: it was absolutely worth every dollar spent.
I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll make notes in regards to logistics.
I went with 8 other people and we were all generally able to stick together through all three attractions. We were split up every once in a while, but overall we are able to get caught up.
If you want to avoid long lines, make sure to check out the website’s calendar indicating the anticipated crowd size. VIP tickets sound like a rip off. I would not pay an extra $ 25. If you want to avoid long lines, PLAN AHEAD, get your tickets in advance, and get there at dusk! We went on a Friday night, and got there as early as possible to avoid waiting in long lines. We all purchased our tickets online to skip the ticket booth. We arrived around 7:30. The gates opened within minutes of our arrival, with ~hundred people already lined up. I think we waited in line about an hour.
The website says that it takes around 75 — 90 minutes to go through all of the attractions, but it was WAY longer. It took us about 2 and half hours. I think this is due to waiting in lines for the attractions, but they moved pretty quickly.
Only other note I want to make is about the Pitch Black attraction: if you are claustrophobic, you should skip this one. You’re walking down narrow hallways with lots of twists and turns in mostly pitch black (duh), where you end up landing in small rooms. It’s a bit unnerving — especially if you get stuck behind a crowd that can’t figure their way out. That happened a couple times.
Other than that, I will say the production and sets were remarkable. The costuming and make up with awesome as well. They truly make the investment to provide their audience with a high quality experience. I will be back next year!

I’m going to provide a somewhat mixed and dissident review. I want to be even keeled about this as much as I can, figuring the best way to do this would be to have a pros and cons list.
So here goes.
Pros
–Location is absolutely beautiful and sprawling
–Hayride is organized well
–The owners force a you have «to wait a bit here» in order to keep the experience feeling personal and spooky and not as if you were being herded like the field of cows sitting nearby
–Theatrical value and production is high, really high
–Actors are really attentive and in their mode when playing on the fears of patrons and focused at times on individuals to give them a real fright of an experience
–Security enforced a no cut rule
–The experience was potentially all age friendly up to even as young as 5 years old
–There was a real entertainment and fun factor to the attraction vs. pure uneasy terror.
All in all if you are a haunted house/​Halloween nut like we are, we’re actually thinking of running down to Orlando to visit the one down there that everyone is talking about. Reaper’s Revenge is a must go to. However it has no return factor for us like Bane, Eastern State, or Field of Terror near Princeton.
Here are the cons that knocked this attraction down a bit for us.
#1 –Absolute WORST VIP experience ever at any Halloween attraction that we’ve ever been to. Purchasing a VIP pass, that is essentially 75% on top of the cost of the ticket gets you in a VIP line. In order to get this ticket you have to wait on a rather long line rather than getting the full VIP experience of being able to jump straight to the line the way that you can with a regular online purchase of a regular ticket.
Instead of being shuffled to the very front of the the start of the events of which there are 4, you actually have to sit on the VIP line — it was a busy night I suppose and we waited 30 minutes. Furthermore there was an overlot for car parking which I failed to mention that was an hour long wait. So VIP access buys access to a 90 minutes worth of lines.
So if you didn’t purchase VIP tickets as we did the entire wait for the event was 4 – 5 hours in total counting the wait for the bus to get you from parking to the event.
In all the lines every last living cigarette smoker and tobacco dip/​chewer/​spitter left alive in the Northeast congregated. I repeatedly watched a dude that dipped standing behind us spit tobacco on the ground as evidenced by the brown stains on his Timberlands. Maybe I’m getting older and not used to being in the muck but there are some trashy Mo-Fo’s down in Penssatucky. LMAO. You would think that Camo and Realtree were hitting the runways of Milan hard this fall season.
Again maybe I exaggerate slightly just to highlight how many smokers and people spitting chewing tobacco everywhere but that’s not something that I’m accustomed to anymore and neither was it far from the truth.
Without revealing anything, I have to say that some of the attractions were novel and spectacular and some were just ok. There was a very high level of theatrical production and effort put into most of this.
They could have used:
More crowd warmers
Concession stands spread around more places
A separate VIP/​Will call pickup/​line for tickets
Personal plastic tarps so as to not get someone else’s dip on your kicks.

The best haunted house I’ve ever been to!!! Worth the wait, the drive and the money!!! The theatrics and actors are amazing. They time each group perfectly so your not on top of each other when you go through the stages. A must see! We had a great time.

My fiancé and I are haunted house fanatics. We go to 15 – 20 every Halloween and we have been to 5 since September 2015. Reaper’s Revenge has taken the #1 spot so far. It is super scary and terrifying. We got the VIP passes because the line was pretty long and we didnt want to wait. There is a hayride which was awesome and 4 haunted attractions. I can’t even make up by mind as to which part was my favorite or which part scared me the most because throughout the entire time I was scared! And it takes a lot for me to let out a scream. I kept looking behind me to see if anyone was following me lol It is very interactive and they CAN and WILL grab you. I don’t really want to give anything away because I don’t want to ruin it for you guys!!! lol But trust me, if you are looking for a haunted house and REALLY want to be scared, this is place to go. We drove 2 hours and it was definitely worth it.

NEPA’s best haunted attraction along with Americas best haunted attraction. 1.5 hours of haunted fun. For fans of all genres. 65 acre haunt with a hayride and the 3 Walkthroughs. 4 attractions in total. Children under 10 not recommended.
