Over 100 Years of History… and Every Nightmare That Comes With It!

Award-Winning and Ranked Among America’s Scariest Haunted Houses.

Blood Prison isn’t make-believe. It’s built on real stone, real steel, and real suffering. The Ohio State Reformatory locked up the worst of the worst for nearly a century, and the walls still remember. Every cell, every bolt, every shadow has a story. Some of them never stopped. The warden’s widow still stalks the tiers, her grief boiling into rage. Malformed guards, twisted, broken things, lurk in the dark, faces warped into nightmares. Inmates long dead still pace their cages, waiting for you. You’ll walk under the looming weight of the world’s largest free-standing steel cell block, then drop into The Hole, where the screams never stop. This isn’t just a haunted house. It’s history that won’t stay buried.

Incredible

I and wife drove for 1.5 hours to reach Blood Prison. The dark maze, though, short was scary. The cryogenic lab sequence, with the video display screens and the wall statue puppets were incredible and caught us completely off guard. Strangely, it was also my wife’s favourite. Padded-room mosh pit was a revelation. Scary clown sightings were a nice touch. Actors all did a great job in scaring us. Ticket rates were nominal as well. I will come again next year.

Blast scare

VERIFIED

The scare zones are a blast. The scares were all meticulously crafted and executed. Scary clown sightings were awesome. Actors’ makeup and costumes were spot-on.

Highly recommend

I and my BF had a great time in Blood Prison. The backstory gives you a fair idea of what to expect in the haunt. The cell blocks had a creep feel to it, and some of them were filled with fog virtually blinding you and keep you guessing. The chapel has an eerie feel to it. The zombie area features creepy looking zombies. If you opt for the touch add-on, be prepared to be thrown around. Not a good experience though. The wall statue puppets in the cryogenic lab sequence had caught me off guard. This was one instance where I screamed. Scary clown sightings give you the impression that more scare actors are around the corner. They were professional and stayed in the character. The scare actors were experts in scaring the daylight out of the visitors. I recommend this haunt.

Entertaining haunt

Took my nieces to Blood Prison and they liked it very much despite the scares. The set design was creepy at best. You’ll realize its impact as you walk through the corridors, cell blocks and up and down stairs. It slowly draws you in to the environment and story line. Kids screamed in couple of instances. Sound and light effects were spot-on. In few rooms, silence is also carefully used to build the eerie feel. Actors were professional. Overall, an interactive and entertaining haunt worth visiting. Check it out.

Creepy sets

VERIFIED

Blood prison had creepy sets and great scares. Few of the jump scares caught me unawares. The actors’ timing was spot-on. They were also good at using distraction to catch visitors off guard. Few of the props misfired though. Sound effects were impressive. The padded-room mosh pit was one of a kind. The chainsaw guy in the end freaked me out. Entry fee was reasonable. The staff was friendly as well. Recommend this place to every scare lover out there.

Felt like a scream carnival

VERIFIED

It was like a scream carnival and we were active participants. A prison that is written fear all over. A well made prison in the Ohio state reformatory was replete with scenes that were bloody gory. The cast put their best foot together pretty decently. Went there with my friends and we were one big gang. We got separated into small groups and also got lost in the mayhem. The prison atmosphere was well represented and evoked fear. There was enough conflict among inmates. Had a very good time and we highly recommend.

Terrifying experience

VERIFIED

It was like facing our worst nightmare at this prison. Quite relieved when we made our way out. Been to this place last night with a few of my adrenaline freaks. It was like a bloody hell. It is based on a prison at the state reformatory. The set was rustic and looked every bit haunted by the inmates. The actors where in the character and played their part with ease. They knew how to express as ghosts and they were supported by the right makeup and costume. It was terrifying to say the least. Enjoyed a lot and we are coming again next year.
