Well, yes and no. If I understand it correctly as you travel through an even horizon YOU don't notice anything (except of course that you are torn apart). Time for you continues normally. But to observers outside of the horizon your time would appear to stop. It is pretty much the same as time contraction when traveling at relativistic speeds.

This of course is probably an approximation and the way it works is undoubtedly a matter for much thought among theoretical physicists.
