Yelp reviewer Mars. W. of Austin, TX said: “Ecopocalypse is redefining what it means to be a haunted house. It’s a brilliant, refreshing idea, with an artistic, passionate crew, and a great guiding premise, and of course, plenty of creeps and thrills in store for patrons. This will be one for the record books, folks.”
523 Highland Mall Blvd
Mon.-Sun. 7 p.m. - 12 a.m.
Yelp reviewer Chris M. of Austin, TX said: “Halloween is upon us, it’s one of my favorite holidays during my favorite season of year so it’s only appropriate to give these guys some kudos. It’s definitely a 4-star experience as there’s no other Haunted House in the area that’s close to what these guys have - which is quite elaborate. I’ve been here 3 times in the past few years and it gets better each year which is another reason why I’m a House of Torment fan - they continuously improve.”

Thu. - Sat.: 7 p.m. - 12 a.m., Sun. 7 p.m. - 12 a.m.
Yelp reviewer Melissa D. of Austin, TX said: “The best haunted house! I’m a Halloween junkie and drive everywhere for haunted houses, and this has a lot that the others are lacking. It’s interactive, creepy, exciting, you’re not rushed, you go with your own group, it’s just plain amazing. Go here if it’s the only place you go! Talked with the owner and he’s super cool, really loves his work and it shows in his creation.”
