I went to Dungeon of Doom on Saturday September 27th for their opening night. I’ll start off by saying that I was already a fan of the Dungeon. I was sad to hear it was closing, then overjoyed that it found a new home with Reindeer Manor & 13 Street Morgue. It is a massive improvement over Uncle Stinky’s Playground. I miss the old location in the Arlington museum because of the multi-levels & stairwells. But they have done a great job working with a single level, especially in the short time they had to put the Dungeon back together.
The line was short and I got to go through this haunt alone, which I live for. I love the movie theme of this haunt. The Silent Hill area was so awesome. The nurse was so chaotic & contorted, banging herself into the walls. I was mesmerized by her and had to kind of hang there for a while just to watch her. The Psycho scene was very nice too. I especially loved the strobe effect with the layers of bloody shower curtains. I got lost in that for a bit. The Exorcist bit was fun, especially because the crazy priest trying to save me. I was laughing my ass off at that point. That moveable floor really messed me up. I screamed like a little girl as I was tumbling through that corner.
The decor inside was well done. They put in some time to setup some really good themes. Most of the actors did a fantastic job. There was a little bit of timing being off, but I do know that there were some new actors and it was opening night. For it being the first year in a new location, I found this haunt to be a lot of fun and very worthwhile. The price wasn’t bad either, especially if you buy the combo ticket. The walkthrough time was fair when compared to the price. The atmosphere is very dark has great movie themed scenes. I’m sure each year in the new location will get better & better. Some things I’d like to see in the future would be a little more expansion and a few more recognizable scenes, such as Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc…
All in all, I found Dungeon of Doom to be a lot of fun with some good scares and recognizable characters, and would definitely recommend.
I give this haunt a 7/10 rating.

Reindeer Poop
I went to Reindeer Manor on Saturday Sept 27th & was amazed how busy it was. I should have known better to get in line for Reindeer Manor first, but I went to The Morgue & DoD beforehand. I ended up waiting in line for 2 and a half hours, only to be stuck with the worst group I have ever experienced. These teenagers heckled the actors, called them all kinds of names, and cussed them out the whole way through. They would tell everyone what was going to happen in every room we went into. I ended up yelling at them a couple times. Another person in our group was really pissed about it too. Then Security had to talk to them about it twice during the walkthrough. That didn't even stop the assholes from ruining the experience for everyone. Security followed us most of the rest of the way through. Toward the end the teens were still starting shit with the actors, and a couple of the staff got really agitated and just told them to hurry & get out.
Reindeer Manor is one of my favorite places. Even though I knew what to expect, I hate that these assholes had to ruin my experience, as well as the couple people there that had never been there before. If you're not at the haunt to be scared & have a good time, why the hell are you here? The rest of us spent our hard earned money & waited in line to enjoy what Reindeer has to offer.
To their credit, the actors at Reindeer were very professional & did their best to keep the show rolling. I commend them for that. I would have been so pissed having to put up with that after putting so much work into the haunt. And Security tried their best to get them under control, but the kids just didn't care.
I will be going back to Reindeer Manor later in the season. Hopefully I'll have a better experience next time.
