Trilogy of Terror j21z

Freakling Bros. Horror Shows presents a trio of haunted houses for Vegas visitors called the “Trilogy of Terror.” The first haunted house, named “Gates of Hell,” is purported to be the sole R-rated haunted house in the state. This house is unique because the actors inside of it involve guests in their dramatics by actually touching them. Some guests report enjoying the experience, but others have said they didn't like being poked, shoved, and even “head locked” by Freakling Bros.' overzealous actors.

Two other Freakling Bros. houses, titled “Castle Vampire” and “Circus of Horrors,” will also be on display from now until Oct. 31. "Circus of Horrors" is themed with scary clowns and spooky, circus-like attractions. "Castle Vampire" resembles a haunted castle and treats guests to the experience of a "shrinking" room, hidden ages, and, of course, vampires.
