Email Verified Spooky surprises

A great way to end a Halloween season. This is the place to be for fun and scares. All the scenes were scream worthy. Loved the energy of the actors. They were in full swing scaring and giving us spooky surprises.Had a blast with them and my friends. We laughed and screamed our way out. Horrifying scenes are sure to give you nightmares. It was well detailed complete with props and animatronics. Many pop scares to keep you on your feet. Loved the ambiance. Will come again next year.

Ghostly

3rd year in a row coming, every year is better and better. We went for the twitching hour. It was a great experience trying to find a real ghost. A paranormal expert was our guide who was immensely knowledgeable. They had the best ghost hunting equipment. It lasted for more than two hours. Only a brave can explore some of the haunted areas of the asylum. A real paranormal expedition. Do not expect scare actors to scare you. The investigation got us totally immersed and it was fun. A great place to be during the Halloween season!

Screams, yells and running scared is what i love and that's what my family received last night. There were scenes quite innovative and totally out of the box. Amazingly decorated..you couldn’t even tell the real actors from the fake decorated figures.Great price for the fun..loved the imagination behind this!

Wowww

Wowww… what a haunt!! We were screaming non-stop. Bleeding room had all the gore that could freak you out. It was also my favourite. The actors’ makeup and costumes was outstanding, especially those in the asylum wards. Escape room was challenging. We could not break out in time. Now I intend to do it in my next visit.

Email Verified Proffessional

Pretty cool experience, no wonder it is the number one haunted experience. Quite professionally done and the actors were great. House was well designed, looked every bit a haunted asylum. The inmates were plenty. Looked gruesome and bloody. Props were cool, creatively used to scare us. The makeup artists did a wonderful job. Had a wonderful time.

Email Verified Great sets, props

To be honest, I was a bit sceptical in the beginning. It took much prodding from wife and kids for me to change my mind. But it would have been a loss had I noted relented and visited Brighton. We took fast pass and that helped to skip the queue. My wife and kids screamed non-stop in the dark. Scares were well timed and executed to perfection. Great sets, props, scares and terrific actors. The asylum sets looked realistic. Actors’ makeup stood out. The elevator to the tunnel was a creepy ride. The tunnel was dark and narrow and the grotesque characters virtually freaked us out. Escape room was fun too. We all had a great time in the haunt. I will definitely visit again next year.

Dark and creepy

It was my second visit to Brighton, and I loved it. My GF who was with me was totally petrified by the scares and props. The house was well put together, and it was pretty scary and hands-on. You can choose if you wish the scares to be interactive before you enter. The tunnel was dark and creepy, and featured some good jump scares that virtually startled me off my feet. I would not recommend young children.

Email Verified Terror everywhere

AWESOME EXPERIENCE! The place was well designed with scary interiors and lots of nerve wracking terrors. The elevator simulation was impressive. The tunnel was dark and creepy. Bleeding room was the goriest and creepiest in the haunt. Escape rooms were fun. We teamed up with few other visitors to crack the code.

Full of intense scares

Best haunted house I've been too! The scare actors scared the daylight out of me and my partner. She even screamed few times. The lower floor had more intense scares compared with the top floor. The actors’ creepy makeup and costumes virtually freaked me out. The clowns also scared us white. Overall, it was great fun and we had a great time in the Brighton. Recommend this place.

Email Verified Creepy asylum inmates

Went through the regular queue and it took me hardly 20 minutes to get into the houses. Loved the creepy asylum inmates, terrifying themes and animatronics was bundled together to give me a taste of real fear. Enjoyed the music and economical pricing for the haunt. Keep up the good work actors or ghosts.

Email Verified Scary asylum inmates

It was better than last year.. the different rooms are diligently designed to scare the shit out of you.. actors all played their roles to perfection. The makeup and costumes made them really scary entities. My nieces screamed out loud most of the times they encountered scary asylum inmates. Staff was friendly as well. Kudos to the management for bringing such a haunted place in the area.

Love for scary adventure

New adventurous trend of Halloween attracted me a lot and I have become a big follower… exploring new haunted houses has became my new passion… and I find this aggressive haunted house named Brighton Asylum… I went there with my boyfriend who was really fed up of my new passion… but he also enjoyed there a lot… Not so diversified but classified into few adventures...this place rocks in my memory.

Scary and creepy

Brighton Asylum was really scary and creepy. The construction of the asylum was great; each corner of the building was designed carefully to spook the visitors out. Actors were excellent..they scared the crap out of us.. Special effects were also great. I suggest this haunt for all scare lovers.

Vivid and wicked

You must shout more and more to feel the craziness inside you… Brighton Asylum is that vivid and wicked. I went there is my crazy college friends and we had a good time over there. Horror Museum was not like the usual boring museum of real world… very dramatic and had filled with magnetic vibes. The Bleeding Grounds were so dark and muddled, we were enjoying a lot. Special feature was the Brighton Asylum… we felt like culprits and chaotic… A deadly place with all scary activities.

Email Verified I was super dissapointed

I went to Brighton Asylum yesterday for the asylum and tunnels. First we waited in a very long line for the tunnels. We did the tunnels and I did not find it scary at all. They referred to the tunnels as a "warm up" to the asylum. After the tunnels we waited in another long line for the asylum. The asylum itself was disappointing to say the least. 1. If you look you can see over the walls and see where rooms were. 2. Once you entered the "asylum" i totally forgot it was in a real asylum. The rooms were so decorated and poorly used that I actually couldn't tell the difference from a haunted house vs the "asylum". I use the word asylum in quotes because it felt totally transformed into a haunted house and they didn't even incorporate the actual asylum well. 3. The rooms have such bad insolation and the groups were so close together that you could easily tell when there was gonna be a "scary moment" about to happen. 4. I didn't find it scary at all. The jump scares were wayyyy to expected and I wasn't scared the least. I don't get why this place is considered scary. The rooms were super lit so you didn't feel alone or anything. You could hear every scare from the next group ahead so you knew what to expect. 1/10 would not recommend. Very dissapointed.

Better than the past couple years

we went to Brighton for 2015 and this was by far the best year yet. They really stepped up their game and paid a lot of attention to the sets and detail. The actors were great and we had a blast. They expanded a bit and it def felt longer than in the past. Great Job!

Actors walk around during line though and even scare you when you use their bathrooms haha it was fun... the scenes were so cool, liked how it was detailed, would of been cool if they added more to it, overall it was creepy & we had a good timeThe owner was such a sweetheart btw!

Sadly underwhelmed

For all the rave reviews I was a little disappointed with Brighton. Long lines are to be expected at any high profile haunt and the line warmers did an EXCELLENT job. However, the rest of the haunt was more schizophrenic than the patients inside and not in a good way. One minute your being tormented by a mental patient and the next you're in a cave? catacomb? wasn't entirely sure what it was. The scenes that you do see are well done and the actors do a decent job with a few scares specifically standing out. No spoilers but the chair totally surprised us. Sadly a handful of decent scares wasn't enough to really work for us. I haven't been to any of the seasonal events that Brighton puts on throughout the year, this review is for the basic haunt. I do plan to come back and try some of the seasonal events. Hoping next time works out better.

The BEST, BEST, BEST!

I have been going to haunted houses since the early 80's so I consider myself a pretty good critic. By far this is the best haunt in new jersey. The scenery looks like it came right out of a horror movie, the actors are excellent and the makeup and costumes are all custom designed and made. Not from your neighborhood halloween store. They also have some really unique ideas that are not in most haunted attractions. Scared the crap out of me and thats pretty hard to do. Good going guys. See you in October and for the 13 haunts.

Brighton Asylum Rocks!

Opening night was awesomely fantastic! Great crowd (it was jammed packed with people but very orderly and super friendly)...phenomenal actors (the way they popped up unexpectedly added to fun) and the asylum itself kicked @$$! Loved the suspense/thrill factor (you NEVER knew who would come out and at what time). From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, your senses are on high alert! There's always a surprise around the corner! Brighton Asylum: Haunted Attraction rocks!

Something more to do throughout the YEAR and SHARE MEMORIES

What is there to say BRIGHTON ASYLUM is this years top place to go. If you are looking for a good scare, de-stress from stress, a lot of laughs with friends. This is the place for you. I went there with family we both agreed that getting a good scare will make you feel younger and de-stressed. If its hard for you to stand on a long line here are some IDEAS when they get close have your group call you and you get out of car and go online, or pay extra and go on the express line. Plus now they have more scares throughout the year give that holiday a twists Get out of the normal routine. It is so worth the memories and something to share with others.But one thing DONT do is be online and let your friends come online where you are I saw that and thought ok I am here waiting and here is 7 people just showing up skipping the line. Think of those behind you waiting like you are.

Best Haunted Attraction

I got to attend on Friday the 13th and I must say that Brighton Asylum continues to scare me year after year!! The set and actors are always changing and never dull. I always try different haunted attractions every year but Brighton Asylum is the only one I return to on a regular basis. As I walk through the attraction I can't help but scream and then admire their attention to detail and creativity. I also think it's awesome to see the horror movie items they have on display. Looking forward to checking out the other year long attractions that are available! !!

Brighton Asylum - the best haunt that exists to this day.

This is by far my favorite place to go because they're open for multiple events all year 'round and they really put a lot of time and effort into their events. I've gone every year now and this year I won a pass to attend all 13 events for 2013. They are super accomodating and really care about their customers. They even have facebook contests when u feel like ur part of the team because they care what u think! The haunts are scary as hell and jm not easily scared. Theres always something new to see when u go there and if u have to wait on line, don't worry - I'd camp out over night to get into their haunts.. hats how amazing they are! Definitely worth purchasing the 13 events pass for $99. That's by far the cheapest and best deal that exists. I love this place and I can't wait to experience the next 12 events with them this year!!!!!!

INNOVATIVE

This haunt was well worth the drive. The haunt was entertaining, frightening and well designed and decorated. The actors were well costumed and seasoned. This haunt is a MUST SEE. The haunt will now feature 13 events that will last for well over 6 months all for one price. WHAT a GREAT DEAL. If you average out the cost for all 13 events it is the best batgain out there compared to all the other haunts. I CAN"T WAIT.

Beyond thrilled to see so many outside-the-box events in store for us--and not just during Halloween!!! I went last year; the house and monsters (everything from blood-drenched demented insane asylum patients...to freaky creatures that relentlessly follow you around only to reappear when you least expect them) are THE CREEPIEST I've ever seen!

Will Scare the F#*! out of you

The location alone is terrifying. I haven't been to a haunt this good in this part of new Jersey in a while. State Scare is getting old, Brighton was a refreshing take on the haunted house industry. I went to both the V-day and X-mas haunts they hosted as well and the place was packed! The make-up was a step up from average haunts from what I saw, and the actors nailed it. I would definitely recommend it! Its not for KIDS fyi, They will not handle this haunt. I can't wait for the new haunts they have in store for next year!

I was browsing the internet and found this ad for Brighton Asylum and wanted to say that we had an absolute BLAST last october and definitely plan on going back this october! We have been to haunts all over the east coast and this one definitely stands out. We have been going to the haunt they run in Montvale for years, and always enjoyed it, but this one blew us away! most haunts are skimpy on the actors, and very cheesy on the sets. Not this one! cant wait until oct. 5th!
