Haunted Doll Maker
The Theatre welcomes you at first in a friendly way, but as you are led to the entrance, things change. Tickets are $5 and go to a local charity. There are several emergency exits throughout the route if someone gets too scred.
When it's your group's turn, you are led into a room where a TV suddenly turns on. It's 'old timey' and talks about the history of the place. How there was a dollmaker who was obbsessed with making the perfect doll and as time went on, he went crazy, but then he slipped into obscurity... or did he?
Rooms
Room 1
Mannequin room - there are lots of mannequins in different poses. Some with full body, some missing an arm, a head, etc. And some are people who jump scare you.
Room2
Workshop - There are dolls in different states of being created. Over the dark and creepy music you can hear giggling and things move around randomly. A lot of shadows and subtefuge here, but no jump scares.
Room 3
A winding hallway where a killer doll with huge scissors chases you. It says things like 'let me cut your strings', 'you'll be one of us soon enough', etc
Room 4
Play room - This room is upside down on the ceiling and you're walking on a mirror with some creepy giggling, rocking bassinet (overhead), headless dolls, dolls without eyes, but no jump scares.
Room 5
A room that's a bit of a maze with some life-size marionettes, a few lunge out, some cry for help (like help me! Please! he's coming!)
Room 6
A hallway - Voice over of creepy Doll Maker talking about stuff like adding to his collection, special specimens, almost time, etc
Room 7
A hallway with doors that are locked, but occasionally ones get banged on when you walk by and there are screams for help
Room 8
A playroom - there's kids in various states of turing into dolls. Some chained up. One has doll legs and tries to crawl to you with outstretched arms, others walk around with doll arms, some are stuck where they are because only their head is still human.
Room 9
Another room looks like another play room, when you walk in, the door closes behind you, lights go off - pitch dark. You hear the Doll Maker "you're mine now", There's some creepy noises like him working on stuff in surround sound so it sounds like he's moving around you. There are footsteps, etc. Suddenly, a scream. Lights on. Doll Maker is there looking sinister in front of you (there's actually a thin pane of glass to stop you from going too far so he can appear). Lights off quickly. Sinister laughing. Then you hear a doll say 'I'll help you escape!' A door to the side of your group opens.
Room 10
A hallway that's twisty. The nice doll says things through speakers like'hurry! he's right behind you! This way!' etc
Last room Workshop - Doll Maker is there with a big bloody tool. He says something like "I got you now!" A doll appears out of nowhere and yells like 'no! Let them go!' and attacks him. She also shouts for them to escape.
