Factory of Fear
Manassas, VA 20110
- Nominee - 2025 Haunt of the Year
- Winner - 2024 Haunt of the Year
Factory of Fear is an immersive four-floor haunted house in historic downtown Manassas, Virginia, featuring a new theme and terrifying experience each year. A deadly outbreak has consumed the once-thriving ARTfactory, transforming its four floors into a nightmare of infection, chaos, and survival. As emergency systems fail and the virus spreads unchecked, visitors must navigate dark corridors, abandoned laboratories, and quarantined workspaces overrun by grotesque mutations and desperate survivors. Every level reveals a new stage of the catastrophe, drawing guests deeper into the heart of the outbreak. The only question is whether you’ll escape the Factory of Fear—or become part of it.
Please note that the waiting areas are outdoors, so we encourage guests to dress appropriately for the weather.

This was my first time going to this maze, and it was amazing! I love that they have a story that you have to navigate through. The wait time was very short and it was very organized. My family and I really loved it and we will definitely be back next year!

I put 4/5 only because I think they can do even better butwas an overall great experience. I went with my wife and can’t wait to see this place grow it has the potential to be an even greater experience probably will be one of the best ones around .
They need to check wristbands some guy said “I’m just waiting with them to the ppl up front I’m not going in” and literally followed his group around the building with the group and just went in because they didn’t check wrist bands. I think they should have someone check wrist bands before entry they had multiple opportunities before I rly wanted to say something but I was there with my wife and mom and told myself they should have a system in place it’s not my job but he’s lame for doing that to a charity whoever you are.
The only other thing was it was supposed to be a 17 minute experience but felt a little rushed i love that you only let so many ppl in it to allows us to get the full experience but why even do that if we need to rush through it I could tell there was more time before the next groups at some parts but they were literally rushing you especially at the end you could tell it was a part of the immersion but also meant to get ur group out. overall this was a great one so don’t pass it up wear appropriate clothing because of the time slot thing you will be waiting outside but it will be worth it 4 stars for now but can’t wait to go again next year and see what they do I love northern VA and MD for scare attractions

4-story 20-minute walk through. Full emersion with the acting, scenery, and even videos to set the scene and tone. Good sets, good scenes, just the right number of actors. Definitely worth it and they use it as a fundraiser for their ARTfactory. Super cool event.

Amazing experience, acting, and good story they had going with it. The only negative was all the strobe lights throughout it.

Love the multiple levels and the storyline. The video production needs work to build up the anxiety and adrenaline. Definitely needs a bigger budget
