This is a review I read about screamers hollow here, (some unexplained-mysteries forum) from a guy named simon. Sounds pretty bad.
"THE PRICE WAS THE SCARI EST PART"
This past friday, a group of 6 friends (25-30yrs old) went to Screa mers Hollo w at the Renai ssanc e in Sterl ing NY. First let me start out by saying we expected to be scared out of our minds for the price we paid. Per couple for 2 trails and to listen to a crappy band $ 54. 00. Thats $162 profit.
It was absured! The only thing scary about this entire " haunted trail " was the PRICE ! The tour guide was horrible! The trail was extremely steep with lots of rocks and the only light is provided by the tour guide that takes off infront of you.You travel through buildings that have fake effects, nails stick ing out of boards, steep stairs, no lighting, trails that aren't meant to be ventured out on in the dark...horrible! We encountered maybe 7 people during both trails that were real with horrible getup costumes that didn' t even make you jump! Maybe laugh ! The headless horseman, comes out on a real horse but unfortunately didn't even hide his head!
Towards the end, one of the employees, were hoovering over a bridge above our head and shot something down to scare the girls infront of us. Well, I was up again st the wall and put my hand throu gh a nail that was stick ing out! !!!We immediately stop the tour guide and she shruggs us off. Meanwhile blood is dripping from my hand.
We go up to the front gate and ask for somet hing to steri lize my hand and a banda ge ( this was a rusty nail) and the cops direc t us to this miniv an? ?? YEAH... MINIVAN! Anyways, finally this man walks over 15minutes later and has nothi ng but a bandaide! We could n't belie ve a place that charg es $25 per perso n PLUS TAX (no other haunt ed trail charged tax) doesn 't have anything to sterilize an open wound ! The "EMT? " then gets rude towards us and says, "this is the best I can do !"
Meanwhile a half hour has passed and we have yet to venture though the 2nd trail. We are finally able to speak to the manag er, which tells us we are not getting any refund and wouldn't write down his number, name or even bother writing up an accident report ! !! My husband tells him how rude his employees are and all we need is his info so when I go to the Dr. for a tet. shot, we'd bill him for it! This man, the ower, gets in my husbands face and tells him hes not " getting anything and he's gonna have my husband arrested" !
ARRESTED?
For what? ?? We simply wanted his name and insurance info, after all I did get injured on his property. After the owners threats and choice words towards us, we told him if we weren't getting a refund we were going to finis h the other trail that we paid for which was also a joke! Upon getting in line for the second trail, we overheard him radio to the ticket person, "hold up that group, I want them followed my security?" I could not believe the audacity of this business owner! I honestly thought this must be a dream?
I'm really hoping you'll listen to my story and hopefully pass this on so no one else wastes their time or money and gets hurt at this place ! If you live in Central ny do not go to the haunted house at the Renaissance fair in Sterling NY! Rude owner , staff , and dangerous trail ! I could have went to Party City or Dougherty's Masquerades in Syracuse and seen the same effects for free! Not wasting time or gas!
If you' re looking to be scared out of your wits visit Trail of Terror in Volney, NY! Its $8 for the trail and extre mely scary ! Well worth an evening of fun!
Thanks a bunch for listening !
