The Darkness - Haunted House - Insane Animatronics! Escape Room Tours - Retro Mini Golf 

This looks like a blast!

It was such an honor to give my favorite vlogger a tour of our Escape Rooms. Thanks so much for coming and hanging out with me for the night Jacob!

That was "Hands Down" the BEST haunted walk through I have ever seen. Maybe a little over the top , but the production values are phenomenal. Hollywood quality sets that would look great in any movie., and unique animatronic's many of which appear to be custom built. This is stellar ..I really need to go for this Halloween.

Animatronics, darkness, compressed air and Jacob what’s not to love 😁

WOW!!! By far the GREATEST haunt you've ever shared with us!!! MAN that was INCREDIBLE!!! I always give you a Like, but when you got to the dragon I wanted to be sure I Liked the video and I already had...so DOUBLE LIKES on this one! Thanks, Jacob!!!

You and those jump scares. I completely lost it at "AAAAAH HAHA EVERYTHING MOVES!" (4:30 mark roughly)

>inb4 AAAAAAAA COMPRESSED AIR!

Jacob I love going to the haunted houses with you. You are such fun company!!

This haunted house is like EVERY animatronic from TransWorld ever all mashed in 1 place.

The yelling while also describing why it is so terrifying was hilarious. I am LOVING this Route 66 trip. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see the transworld stuff!

That's one of the coolest mini golf's that I've ever seen. I'd love to play that one.

Jacob: Werewolves everywhere. Me: There wolf...

This was the Very Best Haunted House Ever. It was Beyond Scary Nightmare. I Loved Everything About this place That Mini Golf was Killer Awesome. Thank you Jacob for one of the Best Ventures you have Shared yet another Great Video. Cheers

Don't chomp me bro!!🤣🤣🤣

I love watching you get scared. You handle every bit like a champ and it’s always great hearing you laugh it off after the fact.

Carpetbagger…..your waaaay braver then me lol I wouldn’t go in there 😬

The dragon and the doll holding the lady was OFF THE CHAIN! So freaking cool! The large animatronic heads had me speechless

“ Ahhhhhhh he blew on me” I just love Jacob in any kind of haunt. Best scream I’ve ever heard. “Don’t chop me bro”. I’m done😂🤣😂

I got to meet Jacob (AKA carpetbagger) today at the transworld haunt show. The nicest guy ever. He even let me take a picture with him. Such a great guy and love his videos! Thank you carpetbagger!! 🎃

That giant animatronic doll was legitimately my nightmare realized into physical form and it fascinated me to witness

The Darkness Haunted House gives me vibes of a haunted house hoarder. Someone who had disposable income and bought everything they could as shows like Transworld as well as throughout the year from the companies they met there but instead of just hoarding, they figured others would pay to see their kind of organized "museum" collection. This isn't a bad thing, just the vibes. The black light mini golf and their Escape Rooms seem like really amazing experiences, the kind I would really relish in. I hope your first day at Transworld was amazing and I look forward to what new insanity you discover and enjoy.

The Darkness deserves all the praise that it gets.

Like warts or pink eye, your 10 year-old boy enthusiasm for haunted attractions is almost infectious. I need to go wash my hands.

I would vastly prefer nearly any haunt without the actors. They just annoy me while I'm trying to enjoy the props! That looked like a lot of fun!

Jacob, you are absolutely my most favorite person to watch going through haunted attractions!

I own Ichabod's escape room in London Ontario. This escape room blew me away. I animatronics were super and I immediately booked a trip to see them. Thanks Carpetbagger I told them you were the reason.

Lol the excitement over the dragon😂💜💜

I love that giant little girl doll holding that person. Creepy. Love u buddy be safe out there.

That place looks like a blast. I love how much attention they pay to the details. Two thumbs up for The Darkness.

Bless you sir for bringing me Halloween in March.

I love this place. this is my favorite place you've been to, after Marvins Mechanical museum and Musée machinique

“Don’t chop me, bro” 😂😂😂

The escape rooms had an incredible amount of detail!

A neat haunted house! Generally there is a doctrine behind haunted houses, the idea of decor to distract, or animatronics to catch the eye in order for a pay off of fear. Usually utilizing scare actors and props to work off each other. But this was interesting because having no scare actors really seemed to have them throw what they had in animatronics. Which can easily fail as a haunted house. But with the large amount of them, and their quality, combined with the fact the rooms are designed so well you really get, what looks at a video level a great experience. I am going to have to go myself.

I believe the werewolf you ID'd as "Teen Wolf" was actually Micheal Jackson's werewolf character from his classic 'Thriller' video. Still looks like the best haunted-attraction I've seen though! =)

Your genuine reactions in the haunt are great. Great content.

Dark houses/ haunted houses, coaster parks are my most favorite that you tour. Love to hear you scream on the coasters!🤭🤭🤭 The chili cook off is up there too!!

Spooktacular!! Thanks Jacob!!👹

I need to go to this place!!! Omg it looks so amazing. My son was watching with me and he absolutely loves animatronics and how things work. He put this place on his bucket list lol Thank you Jacob for another immersive video experience.

I've always wondered, on the average, how many walkthrough (or ride throughs) it usually takes for a video.

Jacobs screams after a jump scare are one of the most wonderful sounds

Jacob that was AWESOME!! Loved the dragon!! Thanks for sharing this adventure. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog!

Is this a year round haunt or is it just open for Transworld right now? I been to St. Louis many times, but I've never heard of this place.

Glad to have you back in our great city! I also came to see how many people would comment about you calling it the north lol. Most people around here consider it the Midwest but a good portion consider it the south.

That escape room was filled with Animatronics from the Jekyll and Hyde club in New York! So cool to see they’re still being used!

Always love to hear you say “ No scares on stairs “ I can’t wait to see Trans World.

I liked the parts where you said, "AHHHHH!!!" xD

Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

This is an AWESOME place!! Such care for the details! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Better you than me! I get sick when I get scared, I'm not a good person to have at one of these sites. Have a great day.

I love all of the creepy animatronics 💕

Welcome to St Louis! BTW, we're mid-west, not the North!

Loved everything. Animatronics were outstanding.

Yess i love the horror attractions please more !❤️❤️❤️

I've been to the Darkness many times, but I've never had the chance to see the escape rooms. Thanks for sharing what's inside them all!

This has to be one of the greatest haunts youve been to! I loved it! I wish i was there to experience it. Thank u for sharing! Cant wait to see u at Transworld!🙂☘

Anyone who knocks this attraction based on a video has, obviously, never been there in person. The narrow focus of a lens forces the camera to miss the totally immersive 360 degree hyper-detailed sets and areas surrounding the over the top animatronics. Truly, the only way to experience the true greatness of The Darkness is to actually experience it, in person. Great video Jake, but this should only serve as a teaser. Go through it!

I’m starting a medication today that is likely to cause very painful side effects for the next three + months, so the timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. Thank you for making my spooky loving heart happy. 🧡

This one's very special, a large scale haunt with beautiful props and figures, many of whom were doing non-trivial animatronic stuff. i especially liked all the details on the figures. Never saw anything the likes of this before. Appreciate it very much Jacob! You are opening doors that normally stay shut for your audience. Sleep well, stay safe!

I've been weighing all morning love your videos.

I really needed this today ☀️ Those animatronics were really creepy but very entertaining! The random huge doll sitting in the corner of the room was cool yet freaky 😅 loved the Medusa sculpture 🐍 thanks Jacob and best wishes ✨

Wow those Animatronics look amazing! You gotta go to 'Night of Terror' in Mullica Hills, NJ or 'Frightland' in Delaware this October. Those both do an AMAZING job!

Love the videos man! That doll room was awesome! I wonder who made the giant girl animatronic??? Someone please point me in the right direction. Keep up the great work and glad you enjoyed my city Corpus Christi,

I went last night after watching your video several weeks ago. Wow, what a bummer. Groups were basically running through the place, shoving us from behind, pushing past us in the dark. So much for their timed entry… A few of their animatronics actually hit me in the face. If I wasn’t wearing a strap on my glasses, I’m pretty sure that they would have ended up trampled on the floor. Some cast members started taunting us with cattle prods and telling us to keep it moving. I was honestly just trying to enjoy the attraction, especially as a former haunted corn maze ghoul where I worked for years. At one point, my shoelace got stuck on a prop and I could barely figure out how to get loose. AndOF COURSE there was another cast member, yelling at me to keep moving. I AM STUCK, DUDE! It’s a miracle that I never managed to trip and fall. I attempted the 5 minute escape room, but it really wasn’t an escape room at all that they sent us into, and they had an equipment malfunction that made everything shut down right in the middle of it. We were just walking through this clown thing with no effects operating at all. After being rushed through everything, I was trying to check out the gift shop, but my friend decided they really just wanted us to leave because we were one of the last groups of the night - despite there being several groups of people playing video games. An employee said, “No! You are fine!” I told them that it is ridiculous to be charged nearly $70 to be rushed through a haunted house and then beg me to waste more money in their gift shop with all the time in the world to spare, and then we left. It was fun until we got harassed by staff. I understand timing for effects and cast members, but I shouldn’t be the one getting told off. The people shoving past us running through the place with SMALL CHILDREN should receive the brunt of it. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I’m wondering how much crap they are going to give us when we attempt to do mini golf and maybe an escape room today… I kind of don’t even want to give them more money. It’s just a bummer - I drove 5 hours to check this out. I wish I had just gone to Six Flags instead.

that giant head at 8:25 was INSANE i can't believe how well designed and freaky that prop was!!!! so cool omg

Nothing like pulling up on the arch at night.

WOO HOO! I love all the haunted houses in the STL area. Truly was a great place to grow up as a spooky loving kid. THANK YOU, JACOB! Can't wait for transworld! Making me homesick :)

This looks amazing.the animtronics look awsome

Good to see a haunted house that doesn't just have a bunch of badly dressed randos screaming at you the whole time. That place looks amazing!

Best haunt ever!

Spooks, pinball and black light murals, if theres a place I can get a cold Dr Pepper I'm moving in.

This is one of my favourite videos so far. The haunt is super cool, i totally love the animatronics and the escape rooms are...OMG, they are totally stunning!

Where is that place from? I want to know where I can go to visit the Haunted House? Also what is the name of that place? Sounds like a great adventure of through walking in the haunted, and it looks an amazing place.

Wow Jacob!.That place is amazing and creepy as hell!.

First? ...And wow, those animatronics were amazing!

Id love to see u return for haunt season and actually do the escape rooms with boog or one of ur friends it be amazing

You should go to the tattoo festival in Illinois since your in at Louis! From the 18-20 I believe

I love how this perfectly captures the horror ideas of what hell is, which is pretty much a nightmare realm instead of hell, I would love to go to this so much, lots of nostalgia, I miss having these kind of nightmares, I can't really have nightmares anymore tbh.

Freaking love this walkthrough, holy cow there’s so much to see. I swear this is like my dream house, the work they put into all the rooms, being submersed into my favorite genre, thank you!!!!

Americans are so extra! I live in the UK and have never seen anything like this, it's absolutely epic!

Okay the clown room where they suddenly bent over you…I wouldn’t make it!

Amazing! One of my favorite vids you have put out in a while!! Loveeee this

15:50 WTF IS THAT??????

You had me at mini golf!

Omg how fun ❤ I loved the Wizard of Oz Escape Room and Pac Man putt putt course. I also got excited at the Haunted Mansion zombie lmao I actually love that movie.

I Have 1 Word For This Haunt...SPOOKY!!!👍😊

Wow!! This looks like a fantastic place to spend the afternoon!! the escape rooms look especially fun! Great video, thanks for sharing!!

Jacob, need to come back around Halloween and do creepyworld as well. It’s great

Your reactions have made my day.

Jacobs fever dream 😮 being a prize in a claw machine. 😅

This is a real life Dark souls level

Trying to appreciate the sheer magnitude and detail of this place while being absolutely terrified at the same time. 😂

This was amazing!! Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦

🧟 💀 👻👹🤡👻OH MY!!

You know, I've subscribed to your channel about a year ago, and I can say that your channel is getting better and better contents to watch.

Loved this video! Laughing so hard as you went through those haunted rooms! Your genuine reaction to everything was great!

Kept debating on going to St. Louis before Branson during Christmas. A must do for my next trip from Los Angeles is The Darkness.

That is the coolest mini-golf course ever!

The Darkness here in St. Louis! I’ve heard it’s really cool! I’d go if I didn’t have mobility issues because it looks fun!

If I could like this a thousand times it still wouldn't be enough!
