Now, the asylum has re-opened and is accepting new patients! Brighton Asylum is a massive walk-through dark attraction filled with terrifying live actors, horror movie style scares, and Hollywood quality special effects. Check in here. You have nothing to lose but your mind!

3 Terrifying Haunted Attractions

BRIGHTON ASYLUM

Once home to the most disturbed minds, Brighton Asylum has lain in decay for nearly 60 years. Now, its doors have reopened, revealing the horrors that have festered in the shadows since 1952. Uncover the dark secrets within—if you dare. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Subculture

They were among Brighton Asylum’s most feared and dangerous. Escaping to the tunnels during a routine patient transfer, they adapted to the dark, preying on anyone who traveled through. They’ll try to trick you. They’ll try to recruit you. And if all else fails, They’ll simply take you! Will you escape? Or will these inhabitants overwhelm your mind and spirit?

The Bleeding Grounds

Venture into the forsaken staff quarters on the abandoned second floor of Brighton Asylum, sealed off since 1952. Here, the staff once worked, slept, and conducted their twisted experiments. Uncover the chilling truth behind why this once-bustling floor was condemned, earning the haunting name…The Bleeding Grounds. Will you escape with your sanity?

Add-on Attractions include The Hack Shack, Fear Pressure, & The Twitching Hour

Loved It

Visited with my girlfriend and both of us had a great time. Tons of scares and high quality haunts to be experienced at an economical admission fee. We reached just before their opening time and got the general admission tickets. Spent approximately an hour in the queue but the wait was a worth. It started with a ride on an elevator to reach the tunnel and here it all began; the encounter with the creepy monsters and zombies. Loved the walk-through on the hanging bridge and meeting actors draped in the costumes of ghosts/ghouls were astonishing. After 30 minutes, we reached into the haunted house and trust me it was damn frightening. My girlfriend being more sensitive to scares had a hard time in screaming and yelling. Loved to visit again!!

Horror at its Best

VERIFIED

Horror at its best! I along with my family visited this place this season. We had a great time! Got the fast pass tickets to skip the queue and it hardly took 20 minutes to get inside the elevator. The walk-through in the tunnel was super scary and all actors were superb. Impressed by their costumes, make-ups and attitude to scare us till the end. Later, visited the haunted house and it was designed unexceptionally well as compared to traditional houses. All the terrifying actors were on the toes to frighten us and we screamed a lot. A well spent evening with family on a note of high quality horror for an hour by spending a meagre admission fee.

Perfect Place for Horror Freaks..

VERIFIED

Wow....scary haunt! Interactive scares and perfect blend of special effects like theme sound and sudden loud music with a pinch of lightning was incredible. Perfect use of special effects and actors here were like in quest of fresh flesh of humans. All the actors and actress were great, especially the lady crawling on the floor. Loved the maze design, high quality special effects, room layout and intermittent loud noises. Last but not the least, staffs were very helpful and friendly. Overall, we enjoyed a lot and it’s a must try event for any horror freaks. Kudos to team at Brighton Asylum!!
