Waldorf Estate of Fear 2021 Review
On a muddy Saturday night we made our way to Waldorf Estate of Fear in Lehighton, PA. Here they have two attractions, escape rooms, and zombie paintball. In the midway, they also have carnival games, craft vendors, and carnival food.
We started with the hotel. Upon entering, you are greeted by the bellhop of the hotel. He may be one of our favorite actors of the evening. He did an amazing job setting the mood for yhe Rest of the attraction. The bellhop had scripted dialogue, but he also used great original dialogue based on our interaction with him. His vocal tone and inflection was very eerie and creepy. The sounds he could make were even creepier. Once in, you definitely knew you were walking through a hotel. We appreciate how they kept the scenes true to a hotel setting. The scenes flowed very well from one room to the next. Just imagine anyone who might work in a hotel; they were all there, in their creepiest version. As we walked through, another favorite scene was the library. The librarian played her part perfectly. We were a little scared to do any talking in that library; she wasn’t having it! The actors here do a great job interacting and dialoguing in their scenes. There are some scream actors, but they are spaced out so you don’t feel like you are just being screamed at the whole time.
Next up we headed over to the walkthrough, Terror in the Corn. At the entrance you come to meet the morbid hostess who gives you the backstory as she leads you through the maze-like entrance. Once through that part, you will come face to face with many classic horror movies. We don’t want to give away who you will see as you go through, but we have to give a shout out to Beetlejuice. It was like he was fresh off the Hollywood set. He had the voice, mannerisms, humor, looks, you name it. He could easily have been the real Beetlejuice. We loved the interaction he had with us in that scene.
Each scene fit perfectly with the main character from a well-known horror movie. It’s roughly a 20 minute, and possibly muddy walk, so make sure you have on appropriate footwear.
With this haunt season ending, be sure to keep Waldorf Estate of Fear in mind for next year. One of the great things about their location is they are in the vicinity of other great haunted attractions; we are talking 30-45 minutes. You could easily hit this one up and at least one other in a night. This was actually our second haunt of the evening. As always, when you go next year, let them know the HRC sent you.
