Dark Hour Haunted House

Plano Texas Haunted House: Dark Hour Haunted House is DFW's premier haunted attraction, conveniently located in Plano, Texas on Plano Parkway just off of Hwy 75 and the PGBT. Since opening its doors during the Halloween Season in 2013, the goal of Dark Hour Haunted House has always been a simple one: produce the highest quality haunt experience available. Sets worthy of a Broadway production, professional actors, as well as strategic use of technology produces a genuine theatrical experience in terror for Dark Hour visitors. New shows are produced monthly which build on the existing theme of the Witch of Coven Manor, creating an expanded exploration of fear throughout the year. While Dark Hour Haunted House includes the implementation of animatronics from the industry’s leading manufacturers, the technological aspect of the show is much more than that. The lighting effects for the show are run on a system usually reserved for concerts & theatrical events. A centrally located console, linked via DMX, controls color changing LEDs instantly altering the look & feel of the show with minimal manual manipulation, allowing for changes during the show without the guest even being aware. Motion sensors are used selectively which provide surprises at optimal moments. The audio experience is controlled by Q-SYS by QSC usually found in stadiums, convention halls, theatrical venues, and major theme parks such as Universal Studios Hollywood, and Knott’s Berry Farm. WAV files delivered by QSC full range speakers produce optimal clarity of sound. While visitors returning each month can expect to recognize some aspects of the previous experience, great care is given to crafting the individuality of each monthly themed show. The dedicated staff works thousands of hours to provide distinct areas filled with fright for the visitor ensuring that each not so simple scare builds upon the last in telling the story of Coven Manor and the horrifying things that happen there.
