Is it scary?
A: Our haunted houses are 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 house.
But is it really scary?
A: Hey, fear is relative. We do our part by providing hands
down some of the scariest haunted attractions in Louisiana.
Of course everyone has their own particular fear threshold.
The best answer we can give is that 99% of the people who
come out the back door are screaming. Our repeat customer
rate is very high. Conclusion: being scared is fun? You've
got adrenal glands, you be the judge.
Where can I get a coupon?
A: See Coupons
If I'm in line at closing time will I still get in?
A: Yes, as long as there are customers, we will stay open.
The lines are too long! How can I get a better show
without standing in line for an hour?
A: This one is very simple actually. Come early. We open the
last weekend of September/early October. If you come the first
few weekends you will miss the crowd and the line and will
be able to go into the haunted house with a very small group
of people. This translates into a very personal nightmare.
What is the best time to arrive?
A: We suggest you arrive early. Many people complain about
long lines but everyone always shows up around 9pm. Our suggestion
is for you to come and buy your ticket around 6:30pm so you
are one of the first in line.
Will the monsters touch me?
A: 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 haunts, 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?
A: By all means, bring the whole neighborhood! Again, fear
is relative. We've had six-year-olds walk through without
a quiver and had to carry out grown men. 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). We do not
recommend our attractions for very young children.
Can we win free tickets?
A: In Baton Rouge, listen to WFMF,
102.5FM to win free tickets!; in Alexandria listen to
Q93.
Can I get out if I want to?
A: Yes, around 40-50 people a night are too scared to make
it through each house and are let out by our security staff.
If I get too scared to make it through the haunted
house, can I get a refund?
A: No. You paid us to scare you. If you get scared in the
line or in the first few rooms and want to leave, we've done
what you paid us to do very quickly. Be happy with prompt
service!
What time does the haunted house usually open?
A: Usually we try to open at 7pm. Sometimes we might open
later but only if we’re experiencing a technical problem
for which we’ll delay the opening to fix the problem.
Do you offer group discounts?
A: Group rates are available for parties of 25 or more providing
the reservation and rate is approved in advance. Call (318)
709-1195 and ask for Dwayne Sanburn (for the 13th Gate) or
call (318) 709-1947 and ask for Louis (for The Maize and Louisiana
Nightmares). No discounts will be granted during the final
week of October.
Is there a discount for small children?
A: No. We do not recommend our haunted houses 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 door greeter.
You might consider picking up a coupon from our website if
cost is an issue (Click HERE for coupon).
Is it healthy to get scared really bad?
A: Do you see horror movies? Haunted Houses are just like
the movies except YOU are in the movie with the ghouls jumping
out at you. Yes, you will get scared but in the end it’s
all fun and you’ll come out screaming, but you and your
friends will laugh about it afterwards. Most everyone enjoys
talking about their experience for years telling stories of
how high you jumped out of your shoes. Come on down, we’re
waiting.
Are you handicap accessible?
A: Louisiana Nightmares (bottom floor only-Admission is free).
The 13th Gate: Yes.
We have patrons in wheelchairs visit us every year. Anyone
wanting to tour the attractions with a handicap needs to let
the ticket booth know for any special instructions. A staff
member will accompany your group to assist you if you need
it. 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 staff member will accompany
your group.
Are your attractions open if it rains?
A: Absolutely!!! All of our haunted houses have massive indoor
queue lines to keep people out of the rain. So don’t
worry about that at all. The outside portions of The 13th
Gate are subject to close due to bad weather. If so, it will
be posted at the entrance.
How long does it take to go through?
A: All of our haunted houses take from 30-60 minutes to go through.
Does your attractions have security?
A: Our attractions have a fully trained security staff that
keeps things running smoothly. We also have several Police
and Fire personal on duty at all times.
Do you have live Rats, Roaches, Snakes and Other Critters?
A: Yes, but none of them will be in direct contact with you.
How are your haunted houses different from others I've seen?
A: Please see: About
Us
Is it the same as last year?
A: Absolutely not. The show changes every year, although we
do keep some of the more popular scenes.
Is it better than last year?
A: Refer to the above question. (But yes, we think so.)
Do you sell food, beverages and souvenirs at your attractions?
A: Yes! We sell everything from glow sticks to food to T-shirts.
Can we take flash photos of your haunted houses?
A: NO! Haunted houses are dark and everyone especially the
actors eyes adjust to the low light. When you flash your camera
you’re not only ruining other customers' experience
but your hurting the actors' eyes. Also no other recording
devices are allowed (video cameras, etc,...).
Can I hit the actors, take the props, destroy the
rooms, or come through the haunt drunk or stoned?
A: You should ask the police on duty this question. Every
night (without fail) we have to escort someone (and their
group) out of our haunts into the arms of the police. We do
not allow foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons
of any kind, alcohol, etc. We have a list of rules just like
anyone else that must be adhered to for your own safety Please
go through the haunt in a civilized manner and everyone (including
yourself) will have a great time.
You didn't answer my question.
A: If you have questions we didn't answer, e-mail us at info@midnightproduction.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 add it to the FAQ list.
