This was a HUGE waste of money. I was so disappointed. As per a prior review we went on a SATURDAY NIGHT and there were hardly any actors in the houses. We waited in a 30 minute line at both houses we went through and decided to leave. We figured it wouldn’t get much better for the 2 hours we’d have to spend to find out. Just not worth it. Such a let down.

Wow, what a disappointment! We went on Halloween and expected it to be busy.
Waiting in line for an hour wasn’t a surprise. If it had scary it would have been worth it.
Most of the haunted houses only had a few employees (monsters) and we spent the time walking through burlap strips into room after room. They had these bladder blow up rubber tubes. They squeezed as you had to walk through them, they used them too much through the houses. I could only think about the germs as we had to walk through them .
Will not go here next year.

First off, we waited in line for a good hour. It really shouldn’t take that long to sell people a $ 20 ticket. There needs to be more windows for ticket selling.
The actual houses were just «meh». I consider myself a wuss when it comes to being scared, but I didn’t jump or scream once. Some were nicely decorated. I do not remember which house it was, but I think there was just two actors in the entire house. What a bore. It was also fairly bright in most of the houses, kind of kills the scary vibe.
The price is just right for five houses. Fright Town is about double the price for less houses.
We won’t be back.

Travelled 3 hrs from central WA to this haunt. Noticed a sign on the way in saying «actors needed» and should have taken a hint… sets weren’t bad but they were empty and short. Only a handful of actors to scare you in each brief haunt. Def not worth the drive or $$. Timing between groups was also too quick so you got stuck with people you didn’t know.

First time here… Well worth the money… Good scares and great body’s!!! Dead body’s!

Maybe I had higher expectations than I should have. First off, hardly any actors walking around to scare you while waiting in the long lines and the ones walking around did just that, walked around and only that. Also, huge lack of actors and scare in the houses which only took a minute to get thru. Confusing to navigate through the houses because everywhere you turn seemed like an exit. So you get redirected by someone in there… lame. In the corn maze the chainsaw guy was the only actor and he was taking a break while a lot of people walked thru so there was no scare or he focused purely on one group and ignored others walking thru. The best part for me was walking through the giant airbags when you enter and exit the Festival of Freaks… it went on forever and it was awesome, but than a huge let down when you walk out of it because there were no actors to scare you just turns upon turns trying to make your way out. Overall it was a good laugh, not a good scare. It had the potential to be awesome and was a let down. But I had a good time with good friends, just wish it lived up to its hype.

We visited Fear Pdx for our first time last year when they were at the Vancouver location a smaller venue, only 3 haunted houses but it was 100% better than this year! Last year they spaced out the groups going into the houses so you got to enjoy your scares instead of being all bunches up with so many people in front and in back of you. This year they seemed to be rushing everyone thru like cattle… barley any actors inside the houses to scare you, the houses were very small and you were thru them in less than 5 minutes. It seems like they wasted too much money making it BIGGER and lost the purpose, making sure their customers get what they came for a great time and a great scare! There were no signs telling you where things were or what was happening … very confusing. We were so excited after our experience last year, to do it again this year, definitely a HUGE let down ! We stopped going to the other ‘big haunted house’ in pdx because of this same reason. We definitely wont be back next year and won’t be recommending it to anyone !! Don’t waste your $$$ not worth it !

They had a lot of room for the haunted house but not many monsters and had bad lighting.
They had some animatronic monsters but not all of them worked. Not very scary.
I think last years was much better. I wouldn’t spend my money on it.

Having been to every Haunted house Portland has to offer this year… this place freaked me out BAD. I was pushed to the front of my group where a Werewolf scared me to the point of pissing myself. Then had to walk through zombies that had way to realistic makeup (some crazy female zombie made me piss again) then through a totally nightmarish fun house haunt… by this time I’m not sure what happened next, I have lost my voice… I sleep with the lights on now. So if you dont want nightmares… Don’t go!!!
I think I’ll stick to Oaks Park!!!

Having gone to several big Halloween Haunts in recent years such as Universal Studios Hollywood Horror Nights, Knotts Scary Farm and Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare, I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by a smaller haunted house.
First of all, I bought my tickets online and was thinking that I could go to this haunt and head straight for the line. Which is true, but it was the regular box office line. To exchange my printed online ticket for a regular cardstock ticket. What was the point of purchasing online when you still had to wait in line to get a regular admission ticket?
There was two options, general admission and VIP. VIP ticket holder were allowed to go straight to the front of the line. Which is OK, but if there was a long VIP line, ALL would go through first before any general admission ticket holder would be allowed to go through. Not cool in my book. A reputable place would alternate admission between the two.
Anyway, there are a total of five haunted houses here. Each with a separate entry. The first I entered was named the Condemned. Nothing scary about this house at all. Very scarce with actors. If I had to say what was truly scary about this house was waiting in line to get in where there was 2 electrical boxes with exposed wires. Whether they had live wires is unknown but cover that shit up. Safety hazard!!!
Second house was called Blood Moon. Long line for what seemed to be less than a minute of walking through.
Third house was Festival Of Freaks. I actually enjoyed this house. First you walk between through, what seemed to be, giant air bags for quite a distance. Then through the maze of curtains, flashing lights and actors. Before you exit, you walk through another set of air bags. (To compare, if anyone’s ever been to Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare, you walk through a giant vaginal canal, something similar to that.)
After that, I was done. Lines were too long for such a short time inside each house. I will say that there are no dates written on the tickets so I guess you can go back on separate nights as long as you have skulls on your ticket.
Each ticket has five skulls on them, each time you enter a house, the attendent rips off a skull a just throws it on the floor. Litter bugs!!!
Before writing this review, I did check out their Facebook page to see the reviews there. It claimed to of had 4 of 5 stars rating. I can’t believe that to be true because some of the reviews were made 7 months ago. Who writes a review for a haunted house in March? Others were employees of FearPDX. Bias?
Would I recommended this place, hard to say.

Went here last night, i went to the house of shadows last year and woah that was great. Fear pdx was okay my brother bought me the VIP pass it made no difference there was only about 7 cars there so maybe that was why, it was honestly a lot of empty buildings, barely any actors… Barely any props actually. Wasn’t impressed at all. Wish I liked it but wasn’t a huge fan.

Not as good as prior years. There are lots of haunted house options don’t waste your money. Seems people were spread thin and the new attractions were very poorly built. Bought VIP but attraction opened late so we ended up in a large line of VIPS. When attraction finally opened newly arriving «VIPs» were allowed to skip the line of VIPs. In one of new attractions the actor did not see me came out to scare my wife and her younger sisters and ran into me. I jumped out of the way and said I am sorry. After security comes and tells me to watch myself he was told I was «stonewalling» his actor. A sorry we will be more careful was what he should have said. Across the board very bad experience.
