I personally have a "weak bladder" so I did not go inside LOL. It is an impressive place, with the Animated Dracula/opening coffin on the building facade. Building was the old Stienbergs Sporting Goods store LONG ago (20 years). Has been in this location for about 5 years(guess) Here is a brief bit of trivia I found from the website for 13th Gate
HERE.During the off-season, the haunt employs a year-round movie industry construction crew, which includes award-winning Scenic Artists, Set Carpenters, Lighting and Sound Technicians, and Special Effects Artists. Many of these crewmembers have an extensive portfolio of Hollywood movies that they have been involved in and it is their artistic talents that have set The 13th Gate apart from most Haunted Attractions.
During the Halloween season, over 100 professional actors, 12 special effects makeup and airbrush artists and several costume specialist work together to bring the terrifying show to life each night.
Whether you are a fan of horror movies or Halloween, love to be terrified out of your wits, or just enjoy the detail of a highly interactive one-of-a-kind haunted house, the 13th Gate has something for everyone.
