When the show focuses on the builds, creative processes, and in delivering a haunting experience, the Spook Show 17 shines and would be a 10. The show's downfall is Robbie's ranting with his wife. His behavior towards his wife during filming leaves me wondering what he's like off-camera. She busts her ass managing the business end and I don't think Robbie could pull it off without her.

The haunts were worth seeing, thanks to the extremely skilled crew that constructed the rooms. These people are unwavering in their commitment to ensuring customers get their money's worth. If I ever find myself in the area, the 17th Door is a must-visit for me..

Next season, please focus on crew interviews and Heather, and minimize Robbie's (the angry one) involvement.

This show is an incredible glimpse behind the scenes at a brilliant haunt. It showcases an amazing build team and cast who really do excel within their field. Seeing the creativity that goes into something like this is a treat, and even more so to see how it is all brought together and eventually run during their open season. It is no doubt an absolutely premium haunt experience on show.

All of that makes it so glaring when the lead man, Robbie, comes across as insecure as he does! Everything that Door 17 produces is absolutely something to be immensely proud of, but watching the show Robbie seems to really be lacking a lot of personal confidence. The multiple scenes of aggression towards his wife are particularly uncomfortable to watch, especially when you know how much work and effort she puts into the business. The rest of the team also seem to put up with some anger issues coming from Robbie - which is baffling when he is able to coach one of his employees, Dylan, regarding his own anger problems in the later episodes! Robbie, dude, you have so much incredible work to be proud of that blowing up with so much anger over things like negative reviews and them taking it out on your wife and colleagues is as confusing as it is unprofessional!

It's this reoccurring theme of Robbie's anger issues and mistreatment of the others around him that made the show lose some points for me. It just becomes an uncomfortable and unpleasant watch - past that of reality TV and erring more towards the realms of a marital abuse training tape. Not entertaining, but just sort of sad.

Still - the show is absolutely worth a watch for the amazing feats of engineering and creativity that the cast pull of, and I would recommend it. And Robbie if you read this review and it pisses you off, please don't take it out on Heather like you seem to normally do!

It's so cool seeing the process of the 17th Door. I went through it myself and it was awesome! The rooms were so creative and freaky and fed off of the fears of everyone. However, they do a great job keeping everyone safe and allowing you to skip rooms if you can't handle it. I'm from NJ and went to CA just for this experience and wasn't disappointed. They actors never broke character and pushed you to your limits which was great. The guys involved with this haunt are so skilled in what they design and come up with. I would definitely check this haunt out if you're near the area. It's a must see!

This show is so interesting in how it shows how the extreme haunt is built from ground up and all the tech and experimenting that goes into it. It's also super funny and highlights the human dynamics with a bit of drama thrown in too of course. If you are into building or engineering then this show is for you, if you are into drama and relationships then this show is for you, if you are into real life comedy then this show is for you... basically this show has something for everyone even if you don't like haunted houses.

I can't wait for more seasons to come out as I binged the first season and am currently itching for more!

There is no other haunt in the universe that can even come close to the creativity and mechanical engineering of the 17th door. While most haunts use blood and gore to scare its guest, Spook Show 17 proves that the only blood here is from the blood, sweat, and tears of its cast and crew. Take a look inside this beautifully mad world and you will come out with the highest level of respect for the 17th door family. Once you see what it takes to all come together, you won't want to miss a second of this experience. Get it while it's here because the only thing scarier than experiencing the 17th door for yourself, is missing out once the haunt is gone forever!

The 17th door has made a name for themselves using gags and gross out elements to facilitate its scares... SIKE! (Once you finish the show you'll understand. If you have ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a professional this is the perfect show for you! I loved watching every episode because I have always been curious on the artistry and intricacies required to develop a popular haunted attraction. Don't worry, there are a lot of laughs and heart-felt moments in the show which makes it the perfect reality show! Loved the last couple episodes as well due to the haunt monsters and scare actors who bring the attraction to life! 10/10.

I am obsessed with haunted houses and everything about them makes me giggle like an eight year old girl. This show turned all of my haunted house cravings into one roller coaster of a show that focuses on the troubles and rewards of running a haunt buisness. I'm glad I watched this show as without it I would not have been motivated enough to pursue my dream of starting in the haunt industry. Also this features my dream haunt and I a Very excited to go to in 2024 and now I am more excited to go as I might see some familiar faces from the show! Overall this is honestly my 2nd favorite show of all time (under Breaking Bad) and this will be incredibly difficult to be dethroned (until I watch Better Call Saul)

Even for people that don't want to watch this because it is about a haunt can find so much to enjoy. I watched this with a friend who thinks haunts are lame and even he enjoyed it, he said it is very reminiscent of MythBusters in the way they show the builds and all of the hard work and trials. I can safely say I absolutely cannot wait for more, please give us more!!!!

The actors look like they have their work cut out for them for sure, but at the same time they definately look like thy are having a blast and enjoy what they do. Robbie and Heather also seem to be a pretty darned great couple lol, the couple that owns the greatest haunt ever stays together lmfao.

When this show shines, it's when it focuses on the builds, creative processes, and haunt experience. Where it falls flat is the mixture of boomer and middle school forced "humor".

As a haunter, I really enjoy seeing other haunters be successful and creative and that is no different for the team behind 17th Door. I just wish the show focused all of its time showing that part of it and less time on Robbie trying to be edgy. He's the only one that comes across as disingenuous. Don't get me wrong, I truly don't think he's like this in real life and is just hamming it up for the cameras. You can see this when he's actually working and not "acting" for the show.

The rest of the crew seem like a really tight knit work family who are 100% dedicated to making a one-of-a-kind haunted house experience. The show is at its best when the focus is on them.

All in all, it's a fun watch to get you pumped for a haunt season, I just hope season 2 is more of the good and less of the bad.

This series is brilliant. It shows all of the behind the scenes footage from the perspective of 2 business savi couples and their family like crew as they prepare a highly technical and extremely immersive haunt in Southern California. I've been through this place many times and it was super amazing to see the process of how everything is built from nothing. Watching some of the stressful moments of last minute changes in the rooms honestly even stressed me out watching it! They did a great job portraying the show in a fun style of filming /editing. I really hope they put out a second season!! 🖤

Robbie is a sociopath. He treats everyone around him like dirt and pretends it's "just a prank, bro". If anyone even remotely challenges him about his bad ideas, he chucks a massive tantrum. I watched like 2 episodes before realising the owner is uncomfortably narcissistic and an all round horrible, talentless person.

If they removed Robbie and just made it about Heather and the crew, this would be a pretty good show. The people who make the house what it is are genuinely endearing and it's fun to watch them assemble their unique creations using really clever engineering. Honestly, the real stars are the engineers and fabricators that take Robbie's crayon, faeces and drool encrusted "designs" and turn them into practical, working spooks. The worst part is the gloating moron Robbie coming on at the end, taking credit for others work and pretending his workplace bullying and mean spirited attempts at humour are in any way endearing.

If you want to see REAL reality TV show. This is it. I have walked through this experience since 2017 and they kill it every time. It was an awesome experience to watch it from behind the scenes and see how much hard work and dedication goes into this place. I have been making sure everyone around me watches it because it's funny, it's emotional, it's informational, and all of the above, real.

A MUST GO, stop being so damn scared and just go. It's an experience you won't ever live again. Why pay $100 to go to 3 weak mazes at universal studios because of how crowded it is. When you can pay almost half the price or near $100 for almost 2-3 of non stop FUN.

The 17th door is what you call a call psychological thriller. Go and find out for yourself.

Been through the haunt since they opened back in 2015 and I love everything about The 17th Door, I've always been curious to see the behind the scenes behind such a extreme haunted attraction, so when I found out they were filming a reality tv show!!!! You bet I was excited and falling out of my seat and telling everyone about it, this series is so "beautifully" made from the building part to the cast to see what actually goes on and what everyone is put through is insane and has opened my eyes and my heart to those in this industry, highly recommend everyone to watch it! I'll never ask "why do you even work in a haunted house?" In a sarcastic way again.. this really needs to be watched by people that judge this community because it's such a learning experience as well, congratulations to The 17th Door, can't wait for a season 2!! (Please)

The behind the scene of the genius mind of Robbie is on a whole other level. Without spoiling it for people, the drama, the haunts scares and most importantly, the blood, sweat and tears that goes into the 17th door is what makes this so beautiful. I can't wait to more season of the Spook Show, especially when they have a field trip experience now, there will definitely be more fun, haunts and way more drama I can feel it! What makes this show so special, is how down to earth all the owner are, especially Heather that is now cruising in very humble car (see episodes to find out more). I binge the spook show in two days and now have it on repeat because of how fun all the chaos is, yet has a beautiful tender side that makes you can't help but be a fan of the haunters dedication to their craft!

This is the real deal. This is a truly amazing show with perfect blend of drama and hilarious moments that go into this amazing haunt attraction. If your a gear head you'll love seeing how they create one of a kind structures and use complex computerized electrical systems. At times you feel like your watching a similar version of Jackass as they test out different effects on each other. It's amazing how devoted they are to this vision.

As a theater lover I really enjoyed seeing the scare actors audition, train and perform. They too have immense loyalty to both the haunt experience and to each other. Do yourself a favor and watch this.

Definitely a must watch. The jokes land with 100% accuracy and the members of the show are amazing at what they do. I've been through the 17th Door and plan on going back. Even after what, 3, 4? Year, the rooms still work great and even had a few new rooms added sense this. I can't wait for a season two if they make one, hoping it will be as funny and interesting to watch as this season was.

I've only watched 1-3 and 14 so I can't say much about the overall show its self but this is all based on the episodes I've watched.

Please take the time to watch this, I know its a long watch but its so worth it!

(Will be updated when I get a chance when I watch the rest of the season)

It's very hard to find the words to explain how truly amazing & entertaining this show is. The amount of effort that goes into the 17th door is INSANE! The minds of Robbie Wyatt and Adam are one of a kind and very UNIQUE. This is Put together like a true Hollywood production! This show is definitely for everyone, gear heads, haunters, actors people who love Halloween, builders, painters, The list goes on. This is a show you do not want to miss out on. You can truly see the amount of blood sweat and tears everyone has sacrificed to make this. Hands-down 10 out of 10. A masterpiece, GREAT JOB!!!

I watch a lot of reality TV as well as just regular TV shows all over the place from Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, etc. And let me tell you...nothing compares to the creativity in this show!! From the cinematography to the audience direction carried throughout each individual episode there was not a moment that I was bored or felt like a part was being "dragged on" which is most common in many TV shows and even movies. Needless to say, I binge watched the whole series in a day unintentionally and when it was over I was already wanting another season. I watched the whole series with my friends and family who would make me pause ever second when we would have to leave the room to get snacks or just get up to go to the bathroom. We did not want a miss a single second of any episode. See for yourself, this show will have you on the edge of your seat and is like nothing you've ever seen before! SEASON 2 WHERE ARE YOU AT??? (:

Spook Show 17 lifts the veil of mystery beyond the black curtains and locked doors of a haunt. See the literal blood, sweat, and tears that goes into every aspect of bringing a haunt to life. The cast and crew's dedication is reflected in the physical and emotional sacrifices made throughout the season. That same dedication is what keeps the guests coming back year after year.

The 17th Door is a unique haunt and a refreshing change from typical scare mazes and it's great to see how they operate; cast and crew.

Great show, great cast, great crew, and a great haunt! Can't wait to see the next season!

I'm usually not a fan of reality television. But as a life long haunt fan the premise of this naturally attracted me. I've always wondered what actually goes in during the production of these amazing events. I knew it was hard but I had no idea until I watched this. You see all the ups and downs of creating what really could be the #1 best haunt in the world. Robbie and Heather show an incredible amount on dedication to their passion project and their marriage throughout this grueling process. The cast and crew are unique brand of misfits who normally would probably ever speak to each other in real life turn into a unique circle of friends throughout the series. If you live Halloween as much as I do then you definitely will appreciate this one.

Spook Show 17 is a personal and deep dive into the making of The 17th Door. I have attended this haunt since year 1 when it opened and it is now incredible to see all the talent and hard work that goes into running this haunt. Not only is The 17th Door the most creative, innovative, scary, and fun haunt I have been to. Spook Show 17 is the best reality show I have seen. I highly recommend giving this show a chance. It has good pacing, editing, soundtrack, and an incredible journey to follow. You will laugh, cry, and be on the edge of your seat the entire time. I enjoyed seeing the authentic personalities and how the whole operation runs from build to show time. If you actually read this entire review, do yourself a favor and watch the show. It is worth it.

Check out behind the scenes of what it takes to run The 17th Door! Hilarious group of cast and crew members make this show worth watching. Learning how each room is created and how production and the owners test each room is a testament to their integrity. They really care about the experience each guests has.

Of course it also fun to see what the cast members do behind the scenes and how other guests behave in the haunt.

Interesting to see what can happen to guests when they don't listen to rules. Or what happens when they don't think all the warnings in the waiver aren't real.

Give this a watch!

This show has a lot to offer, more than most reality tv shows. This one has a quality cinematic energy when Robbie isn't hogging the screen with his ego. It's so interesting to watch the behind the scenes of such a thematic adventure. The builds are unique, the project is passionate, and the diet cokes are poppin. I really hope this series gets a few seasons, I want to see the behind the scenes of all the other years this place has operated.

I've been a fan of this place since I had a pig fetus smeared on my face. I know that's a lot to un pack, but I say that because it gives you intensity, but within reason. It's an experience you didnt know you needed.

I just finished watching all 14 episodes and I normally don't write reviews but I felt COMPELLED to come write one. This show is so unique and well done, I don't understand why there can't be more shows like THIS one! I was recommended this show by a friend and even though I'm not a Halloween or horror fan, I loved it.

From start to finish, this show is like hyper reality. You forget how utterly fake other reality shows are until you watch this one. There are so many great moments in each episode you will struggle to pick out your favorites.

WTH Netflix!?!? Instead of making another hundred mediocre shows, you should have given THIS one a chance!
