The Haunt review: six Halloweens in the last room and one new guy

The last room, the last night

Every haunted house has one room people remember, and in this one it holds the Bride. She has played the part for six Halloweens and this is the final season before she becomes the real thing. She spends it with the new guy.

Our The Haunt Secrets AI review leads the section because the premise lets you smile and shiver at once. Episode 1, New Guy, runs 72 seconds and is free with no account.

Elise and the new arrival

The woman in the veil is Elise, a Secrets companion you can also chat with. Our profile of Elise covers what her page tells us. Opposite her is the new guy of the first episode title, the only other role the description names.

Working in a haunted house gives both of them a role to hide behind, which is useful in a romance. Who is performing, and who has stopped, is the question under every scene.

Playful, eerie and warming up

Secrets AI sorts it as Supernatural and Romance, and the tone justifies both. The tags are Haunted house and Halloween, and the episode titles, Four Minutes, Blackout, The Footage and Closing Night, suggest lights going out and something being seen back.

The flames are one for each of the first two episodes, then four, then five, then five. It is spooky in the way a fairground is spooky, with suggestion rather than display.
