Expect both everywhere, plus air horns, confined passages, and floor vibrations. Anyone with photosensitive epilepsy, migraines, asthma, or claustrophobia should read the attraction's sensory warnings, which are usually posted at the ticket page and entrance. Some haunts can flag a route around the worst strobe rooms if you ask staff, and glycol fog bothers some lungs, so pack an inhaler if you use one.
Extreme haunts require signed waivers and may include touching, restraint, isolation from your group, crawling, water, and verbal intensity far beyond a standard haunt. They're 18+ and always publish a consent framework with a safe word that instantly stops the experience. Read the full waiver before booking, go with a friend who's done one, and treat the safe word as zero-shame equipment.
Read the attraction's own scare rating first, then cross-check recent reviews for words like "touch," "extreme," or "family." A haunt that requires a waiver or offers a safe word is high intensity. Ones that advertise lights-on hours or kid matinees sit at the mild end. When a group is split, pick the middle rating and let braver members add an extreme attraction later.
