No. All of Reign of Terror’s Attractions are inter-connected. There may be a wait once you enter the building, but this main queue line is part of the experience and provides entertainment while you approach the main entrance of the Haunt. Once you enter the Haunt, you will be inside until the very last room. Because all the Attractions are inter-connected, when you will finish walking through one attraction you will immediately enter the next. It’s a continuous, one-way walk from start to finish. Typical walk through time is 20 – 25 minutes.

General Admission ticket price varies depending on the night. General Admission prices range from $15 – $20 – $25 per person.

Only groups of 30 or more people can qualify for a group discount. If you have a confirmed group of at least 30 people,  contact Reign of Terror with the confirmed total count, the specific date and time you are interested in attending.

No. The actors in the haunted house will not grab or touch you; however, they may get very close to guests in certain scenes. 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.

Reign of Terror is not a maze. It is a long, one way stroll through 8 terrifying attractions. If any guest is confused while walking through, a staff member will help direct you through the attraction, or to leave early through an emergency exit, if necessary.

Keep in mind, if you exit the haunted house early, there are no refunds. You’re paying us to scare you. Clearly we’ve done our job!

We have a couple of options for anyone in a wheelchair or needing assistance. Please contact us in advance using the Contact form below, or ask any Reign of Terror staff member or visit the box office for details.

No one should enter the Reign of Terror if they are so scared that they will not enjoy an intense horror experience. We do not have any age restrictions, however, we strongly discourage bringing babies, young children or forcing terrified children through the haunted house. There are no refunds…even for those who are too scared to enter.

Sorry, No. NO PETS OR ANIMALS ALLOWED.

No, sorry. For safety reasons, guests are not permitted to wear costumes.

Yes. We’re under one roof. The Reign of Terror attraction and waiting areas are inside.

No. A new ticket is required for each visit.

Yes. Reign of Terror management reserves the right to refuse serving any guest for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to, guests physically contacting actors, including touching or taunting, touching any props or decorations, foul language, pushing, vulgar behavior, weapons of any kind, alcohol, etc. We maintain rules just like anyone else for the safety of guests and our staff.

Violation of these rules will result in Security being called and the offending Guest being escorted out of the facility, without a refund.

We also strictly enforce a Misconduct Policy. See additional details about this policy in the FAQ entitled ‘SPECIAL NOTICE: MISCONDUCT POLICY” . Violators of our Misconduct Policy are subject to immediate removal with no refund.

Not by us. Running is the main cause of minor injuries. Make sure to follow the rules and DON’T run and you should be fine!

NO! And alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the property, so please do not bring any with you.

No.  No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed inside.

NO. No video taking or photography of any kind is allowed. This is an important and strict policy.

The haunt is an intense experience. Character interactions, special effects, sound and lighting special effects are constantly 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 pocket 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.

YES! You can purchase ROT t-shirts, hats and drink coozies at the exit. Any of them is a great reminder of you surviving a visit through the Reign of Terror.

You must be at least 18 years of age. Proceeds from the event go to the Teen Center of Thousand Oaks and the Young Artists Ensemble Theater Group.

If you want to be part of the Reign of Terror team with acting, makeup, or as a staff member, please send us a note using the Contact form below.

YES! Reign of Terror has won numerous haunt industry awards and was voted the #1 walk-through haunt attraction in all of Southern California!
