REVIEW: 1870 Haunt Manor

One of the best parts of every Halloween season is when you witness the new generations of innovative haunt builders who actualize worlds that you never imagined were possible. We saw this a few years ago with the talents of Murder House Productions, The Opechee Haunt, Twisted Minds Productions, and Rosehill Haunt - all who gained popularity around the same time for pushing home haunts into wonderful, new territories. And while 2020 has been a year in which safety precautions have shut down most of the legacy haunts (HHN, Knott’s Scary Farm, Sinister Pointe, Reign of Terror, etc), it was very refreshing to see 16-year-old Michael Fernandez come up with an extremely well crafted, original haunt with his 1870 Haunt Manor.

Located in a suburban neighborhood in Anaheim, 1870 Haunt Manor is massive in scale. The manor’s architecture is reminiscent of a decaying frontier ghost town, with a looming tower as its focal point. Inside the tower are the ghosts of three murdered men who return from the dead when they sense the presence of visitors. You might even see one of the ghosts pop out of the top window of the tower to greet any observers below. The sounds of 1870 are intense, the structure is immense, and the scare actors (who hail from both Dark Harbor and Sinister Pointe) are very talented and perfectly enhance the haunted atmosphere.

Fernandez has proven that there is a new generation of haunters coming up this season - and 1870 Haunt Manor shows great promise of incredible things to come. This type of new talent only appears every few years, so we highly encourage everyone to make it to the OC to experience this magnificent haunt.
