“The factory had amazing detail, smoke and strobe effects. Scary actors and actresses that did a great job keeping to their theme. Effort and enthusiasm from the staff to make everyone have an awesome experience was top notch. All makeup and costumes look phenomenal every year. Would recommend everyone to try out the only haunted building worth trying in MA.” -Destinie Anne

“Fun and frights! Went to the Factory of Terror with my 10 year old daughter for her first haunted house experience and it did not disappoint! The actors/monsters did an awesome job keeping the scares going the whole time. We can’t wait to go again!” -Kyle Correia

“I have a family tradition of going every year and it never disappoints. The work and dedication the staff have for making it a spooky and fun adventure is obvious and I commend all those clowns and ghouls. It’s a great time for the family, provided they like a little jump scare.” -Michael Amaral
