The 17th Door 30 PLus minutes of fright
10.14.16
If you have it in you to tour one of the most intense and interactive haunted houses in the country, then you’re in luck. The 17th Door at The Market Place in Tustin is giving guests the fright of their lives.
More than 20,000 guests went through it last Halloween season, and now, there’s a dozen new rooms and a mini escape room. And it lasts more than 30 minutes, with more interactive features, monsters and scares. “The storyline will continue where last year's left off with Paula’s battle with her dark demons and her asylum residency,” said Heather Luther, co-creator of The 17th Door. “We will be diving even deeper into Paula’s twisted storyline.”
Guests must still sign a liability waiver to enter and the actors are allowed to grab guests. If at any point during the haunted house experience guests wish to leave, they may use the safe word, ”mercy” and will be escorted out of the haunted house.
Last year, an estimated 3,000 guests cried, “Mercy.” “Naturally, we’re hoping to surpass that this year,” said Luther. The 17th Door occupies the 15,000-square foot space next to Party City, between Best Buy and Home Depot on the Tustin side of The Market Place.
Ticket prices range from $22 to $35, with options for a VIP speed pass to skip the general The17thDoor.com
*The 17th Door is designed for a mature audience, preferably 16 years of age and older and not recommended for children under the age of 13 due to intense thematic material throughout the haunt.
