FAQ’S

ANYONE ENTERING THE HAUNT IN ATASCADERO DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.

The Haunt in Atascadero is a haunt attraction that draws horror fans, thrill seekers, Halloween fanatics and anyone who enjoys a good scare (after scare after scare!) twice a year in February and October. Year after year, The Haunt in Atascadero welcomes both repeat and new visitors from all over San Luis Obispo. It is a continuous path through seventeen rooms and side attractions. If you are too scared to finish, any actor will guide you to an emergency exit. Keep in mind, if you exit the haunted house early, there are no refunds.

The actors in the haunted house will not grab or touch you, but, they may get very close. Due to the close proximity, it is possible to brush up against sets, actors costumes or props. Guests are also not allowed to touch the actors, sets or props. BE ADVISED: Any Guest touching an actor or prop will be escorted out of the haunted house immediately by security and may be subject to prosecution.

WHAT TO WEAR?

Dress in cool comfortable clothing. We do not have air conditioning (it can get warm) or heating. Please no dressing up in costumes for safety reasons. The line queue area often includes actors in character. We wouldn’t want you confused with an actor!

VIDEO/PHOTO POLICY

The Haunt is an intense experience. Character interactions, special effects, sound and lighting special effects are constant while you are inside. All guests are required to continuously walk through each room at a reasonable pace without stopping. Stopping or moving too slowly will disrupt the operations of actors and effects and slow the flow of overall traffic causing groups of people to catch up to each other. In addition, it is very dark inside. If you distract yourself to focus on taking video or photos, you put yourself at risk of potential injury by tripping or otherwise losing track of what you are doing.

We have security cameras running throughout the maze. If you are observed taking photos or video, you will be pulled aside and subject to removal without refund.

Thank you for your cooperation with this important policy. Keep your phones and cameras securely inside your pockets while you are inside The Haunt. You will have a better, more enjoyable experience without the distraction of attempting to film or photograph your visit inside.
