Are you ready to experience true fear?
The Downtown Plaza will be hosting Fear Overload, a haunted house that has replaced Gyros and will now be terrorizing the mall for the first time.
"We have had people come out who have wet their pants and run into walls," said David Polanco, owner of the haunted house. "It's crazy what people will do when they are scared."
The haunt features dozens of rooms that brave attendees can wander through unguided, for maximum scare, in groups of one to four.
"A tour guide in a haunted house is not very scary," Polanco said.
Polanco promises that no one is safe, even if you're in the middle of the group, in the haunt, with inmates, psychotic serial killers and savage mutated zombies waiting at every corner for the perfect time to attack.
"We try to scare people from every angle," Polanco said. "It's not just from the back to push people through the haunt. It's from the front, the sides and the ceiling."
Polanco said they pride themselves in never reusing props or rooms. After each haunt, all of the props are thrown out to make room for new, more realistic ones.
This year's theme will be a chemical spill in which zombies come alive.
The haunt will be open from 7 p.m.- midnight starting Oct. 9 and run through Nov. 1. Tickets will be $14, cash only at the door and $13 for online sales. VIP tickets, which are front of the line passes, are also available for $18 at the door and $17 online.
"It is advised that no pregnant women or children under the age of 13 visit the haunt", Polanco said. "There will also be emergency exits every 75 feet for those who cannot complete the haunt."
The Fear Overlod website boasts, "We will bring your worst nightmare to life."
We are busy touching up the finishing touches of the Haunted House as we speak! It looks AMAZINGLY TERRIFYING!!! Our Grand Opening is tomorrow, Friday October 9th! See you all there!

What a bunch of BS. I went to this haunted house & had to go back for more! It was soo scary! They did a really good job this year & those creepy girls in the bathroom gave me nightmares for days!!! The cage area was crazy wild too! The line to get in was very long but it was worth it. Hundreds of people were screaming scared out of their minds & grown adults freaking out & jumping out of their skin. They say it's not appropriate for kids & I agree as the gore factor was excellent but I did see a lot of younger ones so I know they are still having nightmares. I think the people that complain about being disappointed are just complainers in general... just my opinion. I loved the haunted house & had a lot of fun getting creeped out. Can't wait to go again next year!
