  Worth every penny

  Awesome place to be on Halloween occasion. Electrifying ambience, highly skilled actors, wonderful animatronics!! Very low admission fee and cooperative staffs. Tons of scares and interactive show. Excellent evening spent and it’s really worth waiting and every penny!!!

  Email Verified Scary Awesome

  This was my first time at a haunt house and awesome was the word that pops in my mind. All of us had a scary … screamy time at the Thrashers House of Terror. Kudos to the artists and volunteers for aiding to the fun filled scary experience… to sum up quite a great effort… and a worthwhile experience.

  Email Verified October is Thrashers time

  Long wait and achy legs was out of mind once inside the Thrashers House …fantastic actors, sets and lighting effects that brings out the eerie effect… such good fun to enjoy with your family and friends. Ghost ride was a jolly good thrilling that I could feel my heart thumping… actors and props were scary yet funny at times. October will always be marked as thrashers time and will visit this place every year.

  Excellent animatronics

  We got $15 VIP fast pass tickets to skip the queue and considering the long queue, it turned out to be a prudent decision. We screamed, jumped and ran so often out of fear and one of my friends was damn scared. All staffs were very friendly and they clarified all our queries. Last, but not the least, excellent animatronics and adequate number of actors makes this place very horrifying. I’m definitely coming back.

  Email Verified Full of terror, excellent setups

  This was my first visit along with my friends at Thrasher House of terror. And, definitely they thrashed us from every corner in scaring and threatening. Full of terror, excellent setups and highly skilled actors who never ran out of energy in leaving a moment to scare us. Great work guys!!!

  Worst queue management

  Worst management in the queue handling and a lot of trouble for parking space. The only good thing was low admission fee of $10, else nothing excited me. Think twice, before visiting this place.

  Nothing was fun

  I and GF visited Thrashers.. we had to wait a long time before we could enter the haunt. Once inside, there was no fast pass option and it dragged on for some more time. The long wait took a big toll on my enthusiasm and then on, nothing was fun. I was more irritated by some actors rather than getting scared. Not worth the money you pay for tickets. Avoidable.

  Email Verified Sub-par scares

  One of the disappointing haunts I visited this Halloween. Sub-par scares and amateur actors. I expected more bone-chilling scares and props. I would not recommend this place.

  Love you thrashers

  12 successful years of entertaining Iowa is not a mean task… with every year getting bigger and better. It has been a blast of a laughter and scream or sometimes both at the Thrashers House of Terror. Clowns… Ghost train…and the haunt house itself provides for a whole some entertainer.. We love you thrashers.

  Animatronics were really threatening

  We went in a group of four and we had the general admission ticket. The queue was long, but staffs were very entertaining. Inside the place, everything was placed in a perfect order as similar to any traditional haunted houses. We all got spooked and all actors did a fantastic job, especially the girl with a doll was very scary. Impressed by the costumes, makeups and props, and animatronics were really threatening. Just go for it, it’s a no brainer!!

  In 2016

  Very long wait. Over 3 hours wait for something that lasted less than 10 minutes. First person we encountered didn't even bother to dress in costume. Rooms were so small people couldn't get round the actors so groups backed up into one another from screaming, shouting actors that were not even scary - just annoying. They had 'punch bags' up that were full of something hard - my niece ended up with a cut lip from when her brother swung it back to hard not knowing what was in it and thinking it was a soft boxing bag. They have a rule of no cussing but had a video playing of the Exorcist F-you Jesus scene while also saying they are family friendly. Kids should not have to hear the F-bomb every other word at full volume. Actors were pointing toy guns at people. The actors with ax's, baseball bats, and other things kept the 'weapons' to themselves. Maybe the toy guns should have been left out of the whole haunt since they have a no guns allowed policy. Many actors not in any kind of costume unless the street clothes were supposed to be costumes. They claim to be a charity group yet are only non-profit all money goes back to the organization that runs the house and not to any charity program. This place has declined over the past three years from a fun scary event to too politically correct, too many clowns, and kid friendly to be worth the money they ask for entry.

  Locals love it!

  It is by far the best haunted house in the area! Every year they do something different and it always scares me! Plus they do not touch you!

  Great House, Horrendous Wait

  Drove an hour and a half to get to it. Waited in line for 3 1/2 HOURS to get in. Liked the house and had some unique scares and attractions. We came down the year before and waited an hour and a half just to get to the ticket booth where it was another hour to an hour and a half. We left. Nice house but I'll never go back because of the wait.

  Very Fun

  I have gone 4 years in a row and this year was BY FAR the best yet. I actually went three times this year and every time I went I was scared even more than the time before. They change things up every night and there is always something or someone hiding in the corner or lurking in the shadows or even people popping out from above.

  Slightly Disappointed

  We drove from Iowa City, which is a hour drive to this haunted house. Anyway we got there and waited at least a hour, then got told that if we purchased regular tickets it would be two hours wait so we purchased fast pass instead. Waited 20 minutes (better than two hours) and finally we went through it. It was only 5-6 minutes long and the actors were too formal. To ruin our experience, there was a staff behind us telling us where we have to go isn't haunted house mean we gotta find it ourselves? So it's not worth the drive! It was lacking creativity.
