Q: Do I get my money back if I make it through the haunted house?
A:
Like sporting events and large attractions, we do not give refunds
under any circumstances.
Q: How long is the wait in line?
A:
A: It depends. During our September hours, the wait is usually
very short. The beginning of October, there is typically a short
wait, maybe 30 minutes on a weeknight. As it gets closer to
Halloween, specifically on a Friday or Saturday night, the wait
can be long. The closer you come to opening time (7:00 pm) the
shorter the wait. We do offer a
VIP Pass
that puts you to the front of the line and can cut your wait time
on busy nights in half or more. The earlier you come for both
General Admission and VIP Tickets, the faster you can get to the
event!
Q: Do you charge for parking?
A:
There is free parking in the warehouse spaces surrounding our
event. These lots are police patrolled. Please consider that these
properties allow us free parking and try to keep the lots as clean
as possible. Thank you!
Q: Is the waiting area inside?
A:
The waiting area is outside. We are open rain or shine as long as
it is safe to navigate our walkthrough. In the event of rain
outside stage shows and bands may be cancelled due to weather.
However it is our experience that many people find our rain night
more fun and intimate.
Q: How long does it take to go through?
A:
It's really difficult to give an answer to this question- some
groups run right through, while others take their time. It really
depends on how well you can handle the fear! The House of Shock is
the largest and longest indoor haunted attraction in STATE! It’s
safe to say it’s pretty big, so you should be in there long enough
to get plenty scared!
Q: Is The House of Shock handicap accessible?
A:
Yes. We do our best to be handicap accessible inside the
attraction! There are a couple areas that may have to be
by-passed; we provide by-passes for all guests that cannot go
through certain rooms of the haunted house. Please make sure that
you check in with an Event Staff employee and they will help you
through the house!
Q: Do you have a lot of strobe lights in the haunted house?
A:
Yes. We have many strobe lights and fog throughout the entire
haunted house. It is not recommended for people that have Epilepsy
go through the haunted house. We also don't recommend people with
asthma, heart issues and pregnant women go through the haunted
house. You can always ask your physician to see if you should go
through, however, we just don't want you to get hurt.
Q: Is there security?
A:
On most busy nights there are police officers at the event.

No. Photography and video recording (including GoPros) are not

A:
No. Actors will not touch you.
Please
be respectful and do not touch them. Incidental and unintentional
contact may occur.

circumstances.
Q: Can I bring my purse and/or bag into the haunted house?
A:
We do not have lockers or a coat check at the haunted house. Very
small purses and/or bags are allowed in, other bags should be left
at home.
Q: Are there live animals, reptiles, or insects inside?
A:
As far as live creatures go, there are many life-like creatures in
the haunted house. If there are real animals, they will be handled
by professionals.
Q: Is there an age limit for House of Shock?
A:
No. However, due to the graphic nature, it is not recommended for
small children, toddlers or babies. We have had young children go
through and have a great time and adults who go through and are in
tears! You're the parent- you be the judge. A good rule of thumb
is: if you wouldn't bring your child to a PG-13 rated movie, it's
probably not a good idea to bring them to a haunted house.
Q: Can pregnant women go through the haunted house?
A:
We do not recommend pregnant women to go through the haunted
house. We suggest calling your OBGYN and/or Physician to discuss
the situation with them.
Q: If I have asthma, can I go inside of the haunted house?
A:
We do not recommend people with asthma go through the haunted
house. We suggest calling or emailing your Physician to discuss
the situation with them since we have numerous fog machines
throughout the haunted house. If your doctor thinks you’ll be
fine, we definitely recommend bringing your inhaler or another
device that may help you breathe better. We also don't recommend
people with epilepsy, heart issues and pregnant women go through
the haunted house as well. We just want everyone to have a safe
time.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A:
Sorry, we know dogs are welcome at most places in New Orleans,
however, it's just too darn scary for our furry friends at the
House of Shock. They would probably be more comfortable at home
with the other scaredy cats...err humans.
Q: Do you accept credit cards?
A:
Yes. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express at
our on-site Box Office
Q: How large of a group can enter the haunted house?
A:
On a slow night, 2 to 8 people can go in at a time. On busy

Yes, you can wear costumes to the haunted house! However, we ask

alcohol, drugs, etc... We reserve the right to refuse admittance
to anyone we deem not appropriate for entry. Please use your
head!!
