Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was pretty easy to find the splatter haus got directions off of yahoo and a couple people in our group has been there before

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was no wait entertainment what so ever there was nothing that would get you into the halloween spirit the only thing they had was loud music blasting your ears which is really dumb you could fill out this paper for a raffle and the tent was freezing and no where to sit

Length

it took us about 20-25mins to go through

Actors' Performance

I think all of the monsters and everything were trying to do there best to scare us but not one of them scared anyone in my group all of the monsters I seen were half my size in height and weight the ones that tryed to get in my face to scare me and all I did was look down and laughed not scary at all but very nice masks, costumes & rooms were nicely built

Appropriate For

8+

Summary

I have heard about splatter haus from other people and heard it on the radio everyone is always hyping it up but when I went for the ten dollars I spent the only thing worth my money was seeing the quality of the costumes, masks, rooms and some of the effects I seen that I have seen some where before the sound effects were the same in everyroom I think if they would add some dark hiding spaces and some better monster who could scare someone plus lower the price it would be worth the money your spending

Fun Factor: Medium Fear Factor: High

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was kind of hard to find could of had bright signs out front drove a little past it and seen the big haunted house banner

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

when we were walking in there was a guy with a chainsaw wearing a mask that freaked out half of my group got to look at all the t-shirts they had from over the years and a list of there sponsors also they had a list of years, location & the chairperson for that year and location had neon lights that made you glow the entrance to the house had like a skull border that looked really cool and the lady that took are tickets was dressed up that is very rare to see other than that there was really nothing could of had something but we didn't wait that long maybe 10mins and we were all to busy talking

Length

I would say it took us about 20mins to walk through the house we were not forced or told to move on we strolled through and looked around and had people get scared & freaked out

Actors' Performance

I think there performance was great being there last night open and everything everyone was giving their all I would say they could do a little better

Summary

I think the sheboygan jaycees did a great job with what they have them being a non profit organization probably didn't have the money to spend on all the fancy junk that is highly over used I got a chance to talk to some of the volunteers and take a tour of there setup I feel kind of bad that they pack everything up store it and find a new place to rent for the next year. year after year of doing that would make me want to say forget it but some of them have been doing it for quite awhile so thats shows me they do 110% to keep going

Fun Factor: Very High Fear Factor: Medium

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Without directions from Haunted WI, we would never have found it. When you are on their road they have a lit sign.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Good, loud, hard music. You wait in line in a tent. We waited for about 20 minutes.

Length

20-25 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Decent performance. Some monsters were more enthusiastic than others. I believe we caught a few off guard and the actual scare was reduced significantly if you were not the front two people.

Appropriate For

12 and up.

Summary

The costumes and the attention to detail in the scenes were incredible. Truly second to none. The alien and robot were particularly a sight to behold. They let 8 in at one time and if you are not in the front, be ready to walk into a scene with a monster already barking at you with little scare value. The sound was excellent and really gets your adrenaline pumping. Most scenes were too well lit going into them and there were not enough random scares through out the tight, claustorphobic, pitch-black maze leading up to the scenes. However, it was quite an event to see and I would highly recommend it due to the high-tech quality put into it more than the scare factor.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Great directions on the website and Haunted WI. Without them, you would have a hard time stumbling onto it unless you happened to be driving down HWY M.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was no entertainment besides screams from inside. We arrived just as they were closing and waited for about 25 minutes inside the barn.

Length

About 20-25 minutes. Just right.

Actors' Performance

Wisconsin's best. The monsters were outstanding in their roles and the costumes were very good.

Appropriate For

13 and up.

Summary

I had low expectations due to the lukewarm Journal-Sentinel review, however I was simply blown away! They only let 4 in at one time which increases the scare factor. The rooms were detailed and the monsters were excellent. The scare value was incredible because they would come at you from all angles, stay in their roles and were persistent. My group fell backwards, literally onto the floor, about 4 times. For genuine scares, this was the best haunted house I have ever been too. What a blast! I recommend it to anyone who wants the bejeezus scared out of them.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

easy to find with signs all over town

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

got here early to get it - let us in before time and that was nice to get it running promptly

Length

15 minutes - I went pretty fast as my daughter was scared and bawling (and she is 10 years old)

Actors' Performance

great job by everyone involved the rooms were well planned - nice variety

Appropriate For

4th or 5th grade and older

Summary

My daughter and I loved the room with the kids and the strobe light - it really freaked us out seeing children involved, especially considering the history of the building and that room in particular - the mother figure did a great job keeping the suspense, totally startled us and kept us on out toes by continueing to act until she shut the door loudly behind us!!!! Lots of fun

I think this place has good potential if they have more monsters who are willing to get into their character more......also I didn't like the guide showing us the way.....its takes the fun out of it

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

House was difficult to find as the sign is not lit and is written in black in a location not well positioned from the road. In addition, the parking lot/lawn was very dark. Fortunately, when we were there, there weren't may cars as if the lot were full it'd be difficult to find where you parked.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We had a brief wait of about 20 min.

Length

I'd guess it took approximately 30 min. to traverse the house, however, we had an extreemly slow group in front of us that prevented us from moving any faster.

Actors' Performance

Very few actual actors. You're mostly on your own wandering in the dark. It appears the operators are banking mostly on the natural creepy atmosphere of the location vs. creating elaborate sets, etc. I can only remember a handful of staff being anywhere within the house during the walk through. The chainsaw performance at the end went WAY TOO LONG and got obnoxious.

Appropriate For

teens/adults-not safe for children

Summary

We felt there were some serious dangers in this house that the operators should reconsider for future years. One was a crawl through, square opening in the middle of a wall blocking a hallway. A coworker of mine fell through it thinking it was a crawl through area and landed on her face.

Also, in the maze in the basement there are exposed pipes on the floor that would be easy to trip on or to hurt your feet on if you hit them the wrong way. These are liability issues that shouldn't be overlooked.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find, great signs to follow

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There were characters working the crowd. They got me several times with good scares. Also someone was eating fire! The wait didn't seem to bad, even though it was about 1 1/2 hour.

Length

It took about 15-20 minutes to go through the house.

Actors' Performance

All of the characters did a great job, from the witch selling the tickets to all the monsters in the house. Really amazed at how well the kids performed in the house.

Appropriate For

very scary session - 10 & up

Summary

I know why this was rated the best house in Wisconsin last year - All of the rooms are different from last year and the scares are really great. It was worth driving 45 minutes to get there and well worth the wait. All my friends really thought it was awesome!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to see/find. Signs and lights visible from street.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Just a bonfire, but you had to get out of line to enjoy it...otherwise nothing. Pretty boring.

Length

We did both the hayride and the haunted house and it was a half hour for both-from the time we got on the hayride to the time we left the haunted house. That 30 minutes includes the 10 minutes we waited in line for the haunted house.

Actors' Performance

Worse than a kid trying to scare an adult. They were no scarier than a stuffed animal. And it seemed as if none of them really wanted to be there. Not to mention there wasn't a whole lot of them either. All in all, it pretty much sucked.

Appropriate For

Under 12

Summary

The hayride was the worst. Too much time between "scares" (if you can even call them that) and it was more scenes than actual people scaring you. There were two younger girls on the ride with us (about 8 or 9) and they were giggling the whole way thru, pretty scary huh? And the haunted barn was a joke. Some cool ideas inside but not a bit of scariness. It is good for people with little kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for those looking to be scared and have a good time. I was really dissappointed seeing as I paid $16. I felt it was way overpriced for what I got.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Location was perfect for the haunting! Very easy to find by the directions on the website as well as listed on haunted wisconsin.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Great lazer show! Really enjoyed it. Very unique to other haunted houses. Good waiting area. Nice to be out of the weather and be able to purchase something to eat while you wait.

Length

Took us about 25 minutes to get through. Was very much work the money!

Actors' Performance

Most characters did a great job. Some should learn to stay in character whenever there are people going through.

Appropriate For

Ages 12 and Up

Summary

Would definately recommend Kathy's to anyone who wants some very unique scares. Really enjoyed the lazer show and all the rooms that you have to try and get out of. We plan on going back next year. Don't miss this one.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Located in the downtown are of Wisconsin Dells, this site was easy to find coming from the Interstate. Simply ramp off onto exit 87, and go north it's about a mile down on the left hand side. Look for the black and white canopy. On street parking was easy to find, as well.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We had no wait.

Length

The event lasted perhaps ten minutes; but, that's because we were terrified and rushed through!

Actors' Performance

The actors were very good, scaring the boys out of their skin (which they loved of course). Even better when they eerily whispered the boys names. So and so...you go first! No!! You go first.

Appropriate For

12 and above

The entrance staff was very helpful, encouraging us to take photographs in case they were our last...

We've been to haunts that had such tunnels, but having one that the whole hayride could travel through was awesome! I love the guys who scare you when you least expect it on the hayride in the field. Nice job as always at Mark's!

Even though the maze was "guided" by ropes, it was a good thing. The maze was so dark we would have never found our way out otherwise. It took a long time to go through the maze. Lots of scary stuff along the way. I was REALLY scared while looking at one of the displays of gore, a monster climbed out from under a table and scared the bijeezes out of us! Good haunt!

Nice work, the "scenes" were extremely well done. The little "crawl through" spaces were really scary. The boat scene was very imaginative and scary. We loved this haunt! Good work!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Very easy to find on the south side of Hwy. 50 just west of I-94.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Fairly convincing "Jason" from Friday the 13th character interacted with customers waiting in line to purchase tickets who stayed in character at all times.

Length

Approximately 20 minutes

Actors' Performance

Very impressive performance. All performers stayed in character and dealt out some good quality scares. The only dissapointment I had was that there were a few locations throughout the barn that seemed optimal for a good scare setup, but there was none.

Summary

If you're considering going to Farmer Brown's, forget about it. Stop off at Fright Night on 50 and get a lot more for your money.

Haunted Barn: Extremely dissapointing. The only attempts at scares throughout the whole thing were loud buzzers and bells that made my head hurt. I think there were only two real people in costume attempting scares through the whole thing and they just sat there. Avoid this haunted barn at all costs. Fright Night on 50 is many many times better.

Signage / Visibility / Location

The theater was fairly easy to find as I was with some friends from Kenosha.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We waited about 45 minutes with no wait entertainment. There was one guy standing next to the building with some weird blinking light costume type thing, but he was more distrubing than entertaining.

Length

About 15 minutes

Actors' Performance

I'd have to say I was fairly dissapointed by the whole thing. It really wasn't scary at all, but the performance was ok. The performers on the stage were somewhat annoying as it seemed their performances were "forced". However, I was impressed by the performance of the girl playing Jonas' daughter.

Was not a long wait time at all, maybe 15 min.

Length

The event took about 20 min. but we were going pretty fast.

Actors' Performance

Excellent, this was the longest and scariest haunted house that I have been to. After getting spoked continuously, we began to pick the pace up and it felt like we were never going to reach the end. They did a very good job at putting the whole thing together, you could tell they take pride in haunted houses.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

They have good directions on the web.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

They didn't open till after we got there and after we got our tickets we waited about a half hour so about 45 to 50 min. total.

Length

They have a sign that said it would take 25 to 30 min. It took our group just under 19min. and we were going slow. This is still the longest one that I have been to this year in Wisconsin.

Actors' Performance

I can't say the actors were good because I was at the back of the group and they would do the scare before everyone in the group could see them. Often be the time I got to see them they were getting reset for the next group.

Appropriate For

15 and up

Summary

It's a very good haunt, the music was very loud it could have been turned down just a bit. The actors need to work on the timeing a bit or open up the rooms a little more so everyone can see whats happening. This was still the second best is wisconsin.

Very clever rooms that were scary, unique "Thriller" scene which I've never seen before and very cute. Be careful of some of the floors before the end - they are uneven (and not meant to be) and a few of us almost tripped before the "special exit." Well done for high schoolers - alot better than we expected - good job!

some of the actors were pretty good. At times it's hard to tell if they are really or not.

Appropriate For

Summary

it's not too much of a "maze." it's more like a path with a total of maybe 3 options, which either way you'll eventually go the right directon.
There are a few good scares within the maze, almost everyone in my group got scare at least one point to scream or jump or squeeze my hand really tight.

it's definitely a bargain, the price is good for the amount of scare!

Signage / Visibility / Location

it's down a country road, and it's dark, but keep a good eye out and get the directions before hand

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

there was no wait. we got to go right into the maze.

Length

we were in the maze for over an hour, and we didn't even finish!

Actors' Performance

some of the charcters were not too involved in the maze, sometimes chatting with other characters, but they usually stopped as soon as they saw you coming. Can't blame them though, most them just wander through the maze all night. Some specific characters were somewhat scary, and some charcters just loooooved to follow you around for a few minutes! sometimes they could be slightly bothersome. There wasn't any "performances" per say, but some spooky scenes/sites can be found in the maze.

Appropriate For

10+

Summary

The maze is huge! They provide you with a map, but it really doesn't help much when you have no point of reference, which was most often. you're given a punch card and you have to find all 6 punch points.
I think that there were 2 seperate mazes, because one of the patrons asked me if we were in the "scary" maze- his daughter looked scared. and there looked to be 2 mazes on the map.
At the end of the maze you fill out your punch card and are entered in a drawing for prizes like mountain bikes! You do not have to go through all the points in order to leave the maze- i couldn't find them all!! The maze is very big- it's definetely a fun time, but it almost seems too long! =)
I would recommend wearing old shoes- the path was dirt and muddy the day we went. Also bring a flashlight if it's dark out!!! They recommend it so you can find the punches better. You can buy one there for $3 if not. I found it to be practically a necessity.
also, not all the information on this website seemed to be accurate, we went on a thursday and left around 10pm and cars were still being admitted. Plus it was $7.50 for adults, but they have coupons although i haven't seen any.

First you go through the haunted woods where people have chain saws, which is fun to watch them scare others. You wait by the bonfire which makes waiting seem fun. Going through the house takes about 20 minutes but it is all worth it.

The two Stalkers were excellent! We decided to have a group picture with one of them. Refreshments were adequate and the live animals were cool.

Length

Overall length in the houses and maze (15 minutes)was fine but we didn't run through like some the younger kids who were scared.

Dracula's Castle is very spooky and actors were great. Morgan Manor is darker than last year and mostly unexpected scares/screaming with a couple of chasers.

Don't expect blood & guts as there is only one bloody scene (Morgan Manor). It can be loud with the frightened guest screaming as loud as the actors. The maze could be darker and scarier but we enjoyed the overall experience very much! Glad the $10 goes to charity groups.

they tried very hard but i didn't find it scary at all. i actually laughed the whole entire time. every scare was too predictable, i knew exactly when and where someone was going to jump out at me. that probably had something to do with the fact that they put you in a room and acted out skits, instead of you just walking through the house. it could have been darker too.

there was a raffle you could sign up for, i forgot to sign up, so i don't know what you could win. they also had some good music playing.

Length

It took 30min to go through, but we had to stay in line for about 15min.

it was REALLY good. i would suggest anyone should go, only if they can crawl, climb, and run.

Appropriate For

6th grade and up.

the night I went a window was broken on the second floor, it brought the event to a half hour stand still. Many people were irritated quickly and asked for refunds. No one seemed to know what was going on they need to rethink things and try again next year.

You can see the building from the road if you look good enough. The signs are hard to see because they are written in black.

Length

I would say it took us about 35 minutes to get through.

The performance was great. The place had some very suprising twists and turns and some real in the face action. With the true stories that go along with this place it is even scary walking down an empty hallway.

So much construction, but not their fault. Too bad.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We arrived just before 7p.m., and waited until 7 to buy tix. When we tried to get our tickets, we were told they weren't ready for us. We ended up getting our tickets around 7:30 or so. Then we waited at the entrance another half hour. They were really behind in preperation. We didn't get started till almost 8:00!

Length

VERY short. About 15 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The actors were very good, nice and scary.

Appropriate For

Older kids, adults.

Summary

The info said children under twelve to be accompanied by adults. But there was a bunch of small children with adults when we went in. They were yelling things at the actors, and the adults with them did nothing. It was very distracting. Then some of the kids started crying from fright. I wish the adults had used better judgement in bringing them to this haunt. It seemed like we were being taken through the theater quickly for the little kids sake, and the rest of us missed out. In the end, it was not worth the money.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Good. We saw the red lights from the road.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a bonfire.

Length

The hayride was about 15 minutes and the barn was also about 15 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Mostly good, but there was a ghoul whose line was something like, go toward the wall I'm pounding on. Helpful but not spooky.

Appropriate For

Ages 12+

Summary

The line for the barn is very narrow, so if you're claustrophobic you may want to come early so you don't have to wait in line too long.

The hayride wasn't very scary but there are a few scares along the way.

The ending was pretty good!

Overall - This is a good event but I think the price is a little bit high. If you're in the area, check them out.

Rating below is for both the hayride and barn.

Not good. There was only one or two actors and all they did was said boo and blew a very loud horn.

Appropriate For

The deaf

Summary

Unfortunately, I don't really have much good to say about this haunt.

You walk through in total darkness and every once and a while a light comes on showing a "spooky" scene. They have very loud buzzers and horns go off when you are in certain areas. There was one or two "live" actors in the barn.

This wasn't scary but very annoying. I couldn't wait to get out because there were no scares and the buzzers were quite loud.

I really hate to give a bad review for them because they tried, but they really need to try harder. They should check out the event down the street from them for some help.

Overall - Add more actors and take out the buzzers and horns.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

A little bit hard to find. The building has that old creeky house feel.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Some ghouls walking by and staring at people. One ghoul made a girl around eight years old cry in line.

Length

About 15 minutes

Actors' Performance

Ah....well.. This haunt has a guided tour which consisted of a girl around 16 years old. I think she had pms or something. There were only a few "ghouls" whose performances were ok, but the guide was aweful, unless you consider screaming in your ear good. This was much more annoying than scary.

Appropriate For

13+ (screaming may scare younger kids)

Summary

This haunt needs major improvement. The building is great but the actors and props need much improvement.

In my opinon, this haunt would have done better with sticking to their first theme, which I believe was a morgue. The guide should have been spooky when guiding us instead of yelling "Come on move it! You people are so slow"!

The other three people who went through with us also did not seem very impressed with this haunt.

I did enjoy the music outside and the old "house".

Overall - I hope they improve for next year.

The theater was fairly easy to find but the parking sign could have been lit up. The theater is an AWESOME location for the haunt. The deterioration inside really helps the feel.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

None.

Length

(I really need a watch!) I would say about 15 minutes. The first half is good. I thought the "maze" got a bit "old" after the second door. We got there at 7:00 but they weren't ready yet. Got tickets about 15 minutes later. We were the second group in and it felt like forever waiting in line. (I really need to get that watch :-)

Actors' Performance

AWESOME! These were true actors so the performances were great!

Appropriate For

13+

Summary

Some suggestions & comments:

The line should be further from the door because you hear a lot of diaglog, so some of the surprise is taken away. Of course hearing some of the screams help increase the scare of those who are already frightened.

The stage area is neat but there's not really any scare to it.

The maze was too long without enough scares, and the strobe was too fast. It was hard to see at all. Our group consisted of 13 people which was a bit too many because going through the maze the door was forced against all of us.

The ending is a bit abrubt.

Overall this theater is a must see! The inside of the building is great and while it wasn't too scary for myself I still had a good time. Remember to "stay between the lines". :-)

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

They have tons of lighted signs once you get in the area to point the way, and their website provides great directions also. Their location is great too, they are just off of I-43 about 30 min. from Milwaukee.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait for the maze was about 20 - 30 min. when I got there. There wasn't any entertainment in line, but I wasn't expecting any. My friends and I just talked and listened to the sounds coming from the maze. There is a second line in the middle of the maze where entertainment is provided (note: the wait is TOTALLY worth it).

Length

The maze took about 35 - 45 min. total. Which is longer than most, and well worth the $9 spent.

Actors' Performance

They have some great actors in the maze. Everyone seems to put forth a lot of effort and the result is tons of scares. The costumes are very good too, some of the best I've seen at any haunted event. They also have awesome props which make for lots of scares too.

Appropriate For

12+

Summary

This is the 3rd year I've gone to the Haunted Corn Maze and was not disappointed. Every year it's different and the scares get better. I thought overall the haunted maze was very well put together, no part of the maze is the same. You never know what to expect next. Plus, they have a great store where everything is very cheap. There is tons of parking, lots of bathrooms (even one in the maze so you don't have to leave), and plenty of staff to help you if you have questions. Next year I'm getting the combo ticket and doing the Haunted Hay Ride too.

Probably the most bang for your buck. You get pushed in wheelchairs, go under some stairs, go through a bed, go up stairs, get lost in a circle room, go down stairs, get chased by a chainsaw, go through a mineshaft, go up stairs, go through a coffin vortex (spinning room), and you never know where Michael Myers is.

Signage / Visibility / Location

No problems finding the location but the construction in downtown Waukesha is something to watch out for.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Visitors wait for their group's name to be called in a waiting room reminiscent of a hospital lobby. A "nurse" takes admission. Good setup but not really entertainment.

Length

About 5-10 minutes.

Actors' Performance

I was looking forward to this event because of the theme of a haunted hospital. I found this place disappointing, however. All props and scenes were highly visible throughout the house (except for the maze) eliminating the mystery and scare factor. It was also very short. The acting was phenomenal. It's too bad these talented students are showcased on a poor "set".

Appropriate For

Everyone

Summary

I appreciated that the theme was apparent throughout each aspect of the hospital. Remember, these are college students without endless funds and space. They probably did the best they could even though darkening some areas could only help.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Not too difficult to find. It's out in the middle of nowhere, but then again there's not many ways you could go to get lost.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Not much really. It was a Sunday night, and there was only a handful of people, so it wasn't much of a wait to begin with.

Length

It's advertised as 35 minutes, I can't honestly say how long it really took, but going at a relatively decent pace, it was probably around a half hour atleast. The one improvement that helped tremendously over last year... with no guides and the such, it's easy for groups to go slow or fast and then you end up with a group ahead of you, and behind you, and then it just loses the effect. This year there were several slow down spots to keep groups seperated. It was very much needed and I enjoyed it a lot more because. We still encountered other groups every now and again, but it always got broken up eventually.

Actors' Performance

Very good. I had a lot more fun than last year that's for sure! My complain in the past stemmed mostly because of the piled up groups and you missed out on every room. That was improved, and I enjoyed it much more. Definitely good work on the scenery. Group mix of rooms and dark hallways/cramped spaces. Always nice to see the actors locating the people in your group who are scared and exploiting it. Always makes for a good time. Could maybe use several more actors to throw in a scare at the end of the slides or in the dark hallways or the such. But this was a Sunday night so perhaps it's different on the actual weekend.

Appropriate For

Summary

It seemed to be quite a bit different from last year. A change of pace is good to see. And you can tell quite a bit of work was put into the scenery.

We thought/heard it was going to be a ride deeper in the woods with people scaring you on the hayride, then you get dropped deeper in the woods and would have to find your way out and basically get "chased" out - which would have been cool...so we got something different than what we expected... would have been more fun if you had people running after you...but we liked this just the same - especially the finale - VERY COOL and UNIQUE! WAY TO GO! We want to come back again with friends!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Need better signage from main road - directions from hauntedwisconsin.com helped, but hard to see from road if you don't know the area or what you are looking for.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Great - a fun werewolf and glowing ghost were entertaining.

Length

15 minutes - could be a little longer.

Actors' Performance

Actors were good - some were late with their scares. Would have liked a finale.

Appropriate For

10+

Summary

One major problem: Groups were followed by employee/guides. MANY were directly behind us talking the whole time - which took ALOT away from the whole experience - and took away from the actors performaces which were great - non costumed guides/employees shouldn't follow so close, and should keep chatter down.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

There was construction on the road, and few signs, but it was marked well once you passed it.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait was horrible. There weren't a lot of people ahead of us, and we waited for over an hour. Monsters came out after about a half hour and messed with the crowd a little.

Length

15 minutes (half of that being a little show). The house was way too short. The theater was a great location, but they didn't really do much to make it more "haunted." Would've liked to see more props.

Actors' Performance

They're all actors, so the performances were excellent. This is where they really shined, but it didn't make up for the wait, or the length of the house.

Appropriate For

Anyone

Summary

Groups of 8-10 were a bit large, expecially when they put us through cramped passages. There is a dead end that has a really low celing. Watch out. If you are a bit tall, don't let your head touch the celing. They will run on top and bang on the top, and it hit my head and gave me a headache for the rest of the night.

Bon fire. I love the bon fire. The line for the barn in the darkness isn't very good. It's too dark, and kids try to "scare" other people in line.

Actors' Performance

The performances were pretty good, except we caught up with the group in front of us, and then the group in front of them, so instead of 2 of us, there were 8 of us, and for the 2nd half of the house we just kind of watched the people ahead of us get scared, and the monsters didn't pay much mind to us.

the preformance was great,every room had a strobe light after a while it got alittle old. Some charactors followed us around to the point where it got annoying and I wanted to say go away!the last room was kind of a disapointment but the bus at the begining was a unique interactive touch.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Was there last year, so had a good idea on where it was. There were still plenty of signs and you can tell where it is by all the cars and people around.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Wait was long but worth it. You wait inside gym before you go out on your adventure. There was food to eat, and games to play while you wait. They had a ticket call system, so there was no true line.

Length

Length of the house was decent, could have been longer. I think that could be my only complaint. It was a little quick to go through. Took us maybe 15 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Very well done. They did change things from last year which most houses fail to do. They did keep some things, but the things they kept were the good things of the house from the previous year. Scares were on que, and timed well. Could use a few more surprises, as the effects were still good. Good themes, and actors did a great job. Actors even kept track of the flow of people through out the house so that no group would catch another. Very well done by everyone.

Appropriate For

12 and up. A good scare.

Summary

Try to expand the scare a little bit. This is your only major weakness. Make it longer outside if you have no more room in the house. Overall, congratulations to the entire team on a job well done.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Very well pointed out from the road. Easy to see signs with good direction.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was none. We did only the "maze". We ended up waiting about 20 or 25 minutes in line.

Length

It took us less than an hour to get through the entire "maze". However most of that was wait time.

Actors' Performance

First of all, the maze was not a maze. Everything was roped out, guiding you through the entire thing. Yes they had characters hidding, waiting for you to stroll through, but nothing impressive. Not only did we wait a while before entering the so called "maze", but we ended up waiting again not even half way through it. It took us another 20 min. in line to get though a trailer we walked through. After that, you walked thgough the guided path until you were out. Very dissapointing.

Appropriate For

basicaly anyone

Summary

Effort was there on part of the monsters they had in the maze. They actually tried and put forth effort into what they were doing. Even the little kids were good. That was the only good thing about this event. The rest all needs work. I can understand that there will most likely be a wait to any scare that you go to. That's common. But don't have your guest wait twice. That kills the whole haunted feeling. Please do something with your maze, like, make it one. Don't rope it all off. I think my whole group was expecting something that just wasen't there.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Good. There was a nice light up sign in front of the drive that provided easy access to the field.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

I guess in order to have wait entertainment, you must first need to have a wait, which we fourtunantly did not have much of. Maybe because we showed up later, and the first week had something to do with this, I'm not sure. They did have a radio station there with a dare to get some t-shirts and free tickets. Good idea.

Length

Took us about a half an hour or so, maybe longer to get through.

Actors' Performance

Last year was better. Even though this year's was a bigger house, it seemed that it wasen't as of good of quality as last year's. When walking though the scares were off timed, usually too early. This house was a little more interactive in its design. There were a few slides, and things you had to walk through.

Appropriate For

12 and up

Summary

Just beacuae the house is bigger now, don't cheapen the event. Last year's was a bit more scareier. Try to get that back. Much of the house was the same as last year's, just moved around in different order. Create something new.

Needs improvement. No light up signs for direction, and house itself was difficult to point out. It does not look like a haunted house from the outside. However, I suppose, this is not the main focus of the event.

The waiting was the most fun.. you take a haunted walk through the woods in pitch black dark and then hang out by a big bonfire with music and concessions.. we waited about 45 min.

The actual walking through was about 10 min.. i suggest to take your time tho when you walk through it.

The actors and workers weren't the best.. This isn't that scary of a haunted house but it did have some good special effects.. i pretty much was cracking up the whole time laughing,but i guess thats how i am.. this would be a good haunted house for young teens who dont want a big scare!

Appropriate For

Summary

This was all around good fun. The short haunted trail on your way up to the spooky old house is right out of a classic horror movie. The house itself was heavy on scenery and scenarios that were put together very well. Lot's of little details that made this Haunt lots of fun. Not that many dark mazes to trod through.

I gues it could have been a bit scarier, but over all a very worthy Haunt!!!

With the directions on the their website, it was pretty easy.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The night we went it was no more than a half an hour. Perhaps that's because it was earlier in the evening and not too close to Halloween.

I'd guess about 15 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Most of the actors and actresses did a great job.

Appropriate For

12 and up.

Summary

It was refreshing to see the whole show completely revamped. Even the facade at the beginning was changed. Gone was the ornate, effects ladden Castle and drawbridge. In it's place a more subtle and very creepy alley way to a Coffin Company. Once again Terror on Rural Street does a wonderful job in the dark attraction business. Many incredible effects and dark mazes. The only things I was a bit disappointed about was the facts that they relied too heavily on dark mazes. It almost felt that over half the time you were feeling around in the dark, which is very frightening at first but can get old pretty quick. The other thing was that they didn't seem to have as many dramatic scenes as they had in the past. However, the effects and scenes that they did have were all excellent!! The wax museum scenario was top notch!

Agian it was a yearly favorite! I'll most certainly go next year!!!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find using directions off of Hauntedwisconsin.com. No real signs along the way, would be a good idea to add some. Pretty easy to spot the haunt, lights, banner, traffic directors, lots of people.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We waitied about an hour. People can wait in their heated gym. There was food being sold and video games to play. It's a good way for them to cash-in on your wait time. Yet, it makes it more enjoyable while waiting. Plus they called ticket numbers, so you didn't have to just wait in a line, you were free to roam about. There were also a few characters roaming.

Length

It took us about 15-20 min. to get through the house.

Actors' Performance

Being my first time there, I was impressed. I thought this haunt was pretty unique. Without giving too much away, I thought the use of 3-D glasses was cool. (But, I hear they've done that in the past.) This house deals with more scenes and setups then just people popping out at you. But, they had a little of both. This is definetly one of the most colorful haunted houses I've been to. They had a lot of creative ideas in this haunt, enough to seperate it from others. The deeper in the house we got, the more creepy it seemed to be. Going with a group of 7, they waited until our entire group was in each room before they scared us, which was good because we all got scared, and not just people up front. The costumes were also pretty cool. There were a few, they must have spent a fortune on. The creepy clown in the closet was cool. They mess with your mind sometimes and you're not sure what to expect next. And the last room was a very cool effect.

Appropriate For

12+

Summary

Overall, I liked the house. For some reason, when I got to the end, I thought it would have been a little bit longer. But, I think they did a
great job with the people. There were a few times when they stopped us in between rooms to wait for the group ahead of us to clear out, which was good because then we didn't lose any of the scares. More haunts should do this type of thing. Otherwise, you keep running into the group ahead of you. However honestly, there were a couple of scenes that were just plain corny. People popped out, and it was
more funny then scary. You could almost tell that the characters knew it too. If we're paying good money and if it seems corny, why not change it up? Don't waste time just so people have a room to go through. But overall, most of the house was
very well done. Woth $7.00, heck yeah. This was probably the most affordable satisfying haunt we've done yet. Nice job guys. I'd come back next year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find using directions off of Hauntedwisconsin.com. When you get off the freeway, as you trun off of Hwy. 83 onto L, there are nice signs that lead you to the corn maze. They even had a huge lit up, flashing sign showing you where to make the turn. Nice to let us know that we were near the event.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We did the Corn Maze only, not the Hayride. They do have a store and 99 WMYX was there that night. The wait for the Corn Maze was about 20 min. Not too bad of a wait. There were quite a few people in line and at Stacy Farms in general. We arrived about 7:30p.m. However, there was nothing to do in line. We amused ourselfs by listening to the mayhem coming from the corn maze.

Length

I think it took us about 40 min. to do the entire maze. However, about 15 min. of that was waiting in the center for people to filter through. I'll explain below.

Actors' Performance

This was my first time to Stacy Farms, so I can't compare it to previous years. However, there were several things about this event that I thought I should point out. First, the Maze at night is not really a true maze, but more of a roped off path that you follow through the corn field and get scared. (I was kind of hoping for a free formed maze to get lost in.) I definetly thought they had a good amount of people to scare you. All throughout the path there were things happening. They made good use of effects & scares in a corn field and they didn't just limit it to people jumping out at you, they actually had lighting effects, music, and more. Even live wild animals! What really killed the entire event was when we made it about a third of the way through. There was a backup of people due to a trailer they herd you through with scares and effects. The backup of people outside the trailer caused a good 10-15 min. extra wait. After going through part of the maze and then having to wait again, it kills the atmosphere. There were some characters walking around, but at that point the maze started to become lame. I kind of see what they were trying to do with the effects, but it wasn't worth having to wait for, while in the maze.

Appropriate For

12+

Summary

Being my first time, I give Stacy Farms a lot of credit. They put a lot of effort into their maze. It's never the same the entire way through, and you have signs of wisdom and warnings to guide you along. Every part of the maze was a bit different, and the entire thing was very entertaining. At $9.00 a person for the maze, it seemed a bit high priced. Maybe $7.00 would be a little more reasonable for the amount of scares. However, you do get a free glow stick! Very entertaining, yet not as scary as we had hoped for. The haunts in
the maze were good, but the wait for the trailer in the middle really killed the mood.

Entrance from last year closed due to construction - but had sign at alternate entrance and direction on their website and hauntedwisconsin.com got us there with no problems!

Great - Ticket/Waiting area: Had creatures interacting with guests, concessions, all indoors! Final queues leading up in front of main entrance to house was themed great with detail and special effects.

Length

18 minutes - perfect.

Actors' Performance

Actors REALLY got into their parts! Costuming and makeup was EXCELLENT. In 2 spots timing of actors in their scares was off, but we it was because a group of knucklehead guys (who were patrons) infront of us kept going the wrong way to "be funny" and held our group up in those areas.

Great idea to have haunted woods before house but the Chainsaw guy couldn't get his chainsaw started.

Would have been better if things were working. They did do a great job of keeping groups seperate - felt like the show was just for our group - we felt alone in the house...kudos for that!

Hubertus House of Horror

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Not many signs off main roads - that would have helped, but we "mapqested" it and directions at hauntedwisconsin.com helped alot.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Great venue to wait in: Had video games, great selections of concessions. As for creature roamers...a couple of costumed ghouls - one of which was checking out the food and talking to workers at the concession stand more than the "victims" waiting in line.

Length

20 minutes - perfect!

Actors' Performance

GREAT acting. Actors really got into their parts! Especially your nun - being a Catholic I got a kick out of it - she rocked.

Appropriate For

13+

Summary

LOVED THE LAST ROOM - AWESOME! Funny, VERY interactive, and scary all at the same time - an EXCELLENT finale!

The unusual way you enter before you actually go through the house was unique, and unusual - but the windows overlooking it from the waiting area ruins the "surprise" so you know where you'll be headed first... should have blocked out windows in waiting area. be careful when you "Step down" from it - quite a large step - 2 of us almost fell.

Also, alot of actors where hanging out around and in the waiting area before the show began - took away from the affect - alot were peeking in at the waiting lines.

The location was good... right off the highway.

The wait entertainment was fun... lines were not long... but it was an opening weekend for a new house in the area.

The house itself takes a while to walk through (if you take time to stay a bit in the attractions)aprrox a half an hour.

The actors have amazing interaction... with alot of charactor... its almost like watching a small play in everyroom. im curious to if they change it from night to night or even group to group.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The location of this house was easy to find...just because we have been there before. The only difficult thing was that i think they moved the driveway... or maybe im crazy because we almost hit some snow fencing.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was no one in line this time... we walked right onto the train. The train was so full... and we were shoved way to one end, that we didnt get scared, but it was fun watching everyone else.

Length

The house was a lot longer in length this year... its always fun to go through this house year after year to see what they reused where and such.

Actors' Performance

Overall the actors were good. We only made one girl break charactor. None of them interact with the groups... they get in your face and growl. Maybe thats kosher with others... but its not all that and a bag of chips with me... i like charactor interaction... thats all they lacked in.

Appropriate For

over 12years of age

Summary

The house is amazingly dressed and i would go there just to see all the sights again... the acting is iffy... but then again im so used to haunted houses... it probably is a lot more scary with a group of non experienced people.

Easy to find, right off 43.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Chatted with the ticket taker but there was no line so no wait - first night.

Length

15-20 minutes

Actors' Performance

First night, maybe actors need to warm up. I saw or found "warm bodies" accidently, but several just stood there in the dark and didn't say anything or do anything. I did like the one that kept popping up all over saying "kissy, kissy!" - he was fun. They had scares at different levels, good use of space and surprise.

Appropriate For

teens and up

Summary

When we left we chatted with the operators. They seemed interested in our
experience, excited about the house. They recommended other haunts, we discussed
other houses. Worth seeing.

Summary

The house is not all that good. They could have done alot more with the maze. They don't need guides to go with every group. They could send them with the younger kids, not ADULTS!!! The guides tell you to keep moving if you stay in a room for more than a couple of seconds after a "scare". Some of us would like to look at the room to get the effect of the "scare". They need to go and look at other haunted houses to get some better ideas.

Tanks to the directions that I found on the website and with some help from the wonderful people at a local Citgo, we found it without a problem.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We were able to be the last group to go in for the night. They losed at 1 and we got there around 10 after. So points forthem for holding the doors open for us onsidering we drove up from Milwaukee.

Length

It was about 15 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The actors themselves did a fine job. The scenary/set/props whatever were decent.

Appropriate For

10 and up sould be fine

Summary

My group and I have driven up from Milwaukee to go to Splatterhaus. We were fortunate enough to be in and out of there quick bcuse of no line. So we were able to get this on in as well since we were in town. Unfortunately, after going there this one couldn't compete. But like us, if you're town you miht as well check it out also. It's worth a peek.
Only complaint was the sincewere the lst goup, the workers there that took our money and were at the door followedus through the house and pretty much killed the thrill for me. But in our group, we were satisfied.

Need to space out the groups better, and running into poles in the dark "maze" wasn't too cool either. Other than that, good house, but sometimes it was hard to tell where to go.

Not ready for customers at all. Didn't get ready until an hour after the supposed start time. Need to be more on the ball here.

Some of the performances were very good, but the monsters need to stay in character when they're walking around outside of the house. Having giggly monsters just kind of kills the mood

I understand that I was there on the first night, but they really need to get the video games on right away, and not have so many giggling monsters walking around the waiting area.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

For the most part by following the directions should not be difficult to find although maybe a sign of some sort directing you to turn on the road leading to the airport would help out of town travelers such as my group.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We were fortunate enough to have not even a 5 minute wait. Doubt we'll ever see that again for a house of this quality.

Length

20-30 minutes depending how fast you go through it. Be patient and wait, some rooms wait for the entire group to enter before they "do their thing".

Actors' Performance

All the actors did a very good job. Even though it's nohing major, ther were afew moments you could tell the actors were caught off guard but I owe that more to it being the 2nd night.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Somewhat easy to find using the directions from Hauntedwisconsin.com, but no signs near the house at all and no big signs on the outside of the haunted house either. We drove right past it several times. They have two small glowing ghosts in the window. Only when you get closer can you tell it's a haunted house. THEY NEED BIGGER, LIT UP SIGNS MARKING THEIR HOUSE!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Dissapointed with the wait. It must have been our luck that we stopped by when the monsters were going on break. But it really didn't make sense. The haunted house opened at 7pm and we arrived at 9pm, there were only about 15 people in line, yet we had to wait about 30 min. with nothing to do because the monsters were on break? Didn't make too much sense. It would have been smarter to take care of the people waiting in line, then send the monsters on a break. Besides, why should monsters be on break after 2 hours? Come on, there weren't even that many people in line.

Length

It took us about 15 minutes to get through the house.

Actors' Performance

This was a pretty decent haunted house. Nothing really sticks out in my mind to define the event. The scares were right on, the effects were cool, but I thought they could have done a little bit more. Some of the monster costumes were really cool.

Appropriate For

Anyone over 16.

Summary

The grave yard was cool, it almost felt like we were outisde instead of inside,
the moving skeletons were cool, and the kitchen was cool.
It's worth $6 for a good time, but it wasn't what I would call "scary enough
to die for."

Signage / Visibility / Location

The location was easy to find using the directions given on Haunted Wisconsin.com, no Splatter Haus signs showing the way along the side roads though. Only the big light up sign outside the haunted house area.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

No real wait. I think we waited about 5 - 10 min. all together for tickets and getting in. Excellent night we picked to go!

Length

It took us about a half hour to get through the house.

Actors' Performance

EXCELLENT! Scary! They have changed the house quite a bit from last year. They seem to have themed it a bit differently on the inside. The scares were right on, however, if you go, try to be in small groups or get to the front of the group when going through the house otherwise you'll experience the scares too late, and they won't be as fun. Lasers, small passages, slides, it's very much like a scary fun house.

Appropriate For

16 and over. Anyone who really wants to get scared.

Summary

I was again impressed with the Splatter Haus this year. I think they did
a great job. The effects were awesome and you can tell they put a lot of
work into it. I'd be interested in knowing how many people it takes to operate
the Splatter Haus (including monsters). It must take quite a few. They
raised the price from last year, but I think it's still well worth it.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Great - easy to find and signs were helpful... very well known and accessible location.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Great - had a lot of "ghouls" and opportunites for pictures with "ghouls". One literally followed us as we walked to our car on the way out - just kept walking close behind us... unexpected, funny, and made up for the anticlimatic ending of the house.

Length

Too short. Got through both houses in under 10 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Not interactive enough... alot of teenagers screaching in our ears. One actor bumped me on accident - but I understand that happens.

Appropriate For

6yrs and up.

Summary

Would have liked more interactive acting and lengthen the attraction. The concessions, ticket sellers/takers, and survey ladies at the end were very sweet - very nice... glad to see they are asking the public what we think. Just needs to be longer, more interactive, and scarier actors. We're glad the proceeds go to charity...because most of our group thought it was too expensive for the total package.

Excellent. There was slight wait - no roaming actors which would have helped, but after a 5 minute wait indoors next to concessions, there is a special light/stunt show included with the cost the ticket. Unique.

Length

Perfect - with the show, the "transport" and the house - it was just worth the price of admission.

Actors' Performance

Actors good - would have liked to seen more.

Appropriate For

Summary

Loved the "little monsters" - funny. Though the stunt show was great, we thought more of a halloween/horror theme would have helped... or to set up a theme/story of the haunted house. We had a great time!

PS: Do not turn right after the jail - we accidentally walked into the audio room - we told them they needed a door there... so be sure to hang a left instead!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Good. There was a bright sign and inflatable ghost at the intersection. The road to the house is very dark so if you're not paying attention to street names you would probably miss it. Just a couple of paper ghosts on the sign to the park. The actual house and waiting area are spooky. The waiting area could have used some Halloween and spooky decorations.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Consession stand.

Length

About 15 minutes including the trail.

Actors' Performance

Better than last year. The vampires on the trail could've thrown in some lines. The "witch" did a great job with her lines.

Appropriate For

Teens & up

Summary

Overall the house was better than last year.

I think it would've been cool if the ticket calling lady (curly hair and glasses) could have been in costume or something.

If you're not into interacting with the ghouls, this probably isn't the best haunt to go to, as they use lots of customer particpation.

Be ready for a bit of crawling and uneven terrain on the trail. High heels and skirts are a definte no-no here.

I really liked the flying whatever that came out of the woods during the trail.

Overall much better than last year but a bit short.

Signs points you in the right direction of the house. Good location, but now that part of the building has been fixed up so it's not as spooky, but still a good location.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a concession stand, and some spooks. A couple of the spooks came over by us. One sat by me and the other stood in front of Andy. It was cool at first but they stayed the whole time we waited, 10-15 minutes. It got kinda "old" after 5 minutes.

Length

The length was great!!! It took us somewhere between 30-40 minutes to get through and we only caught up to the group in front of once! Really worth the money!!

Actors' Performance

The performances were great! Many pop out scares and those with 'lines' did a good job!

Appropriate For

Teens and up

Summary

I really liked the fact that you got to go with your own group. It may just have been because it wasn't too busy that night, but it was great.

The length of the house and , props and actors all were great.

I think Terror did a great job at improving the scares this year!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The roads were dark and spooky but with the directions we had it was pretty easy to find. However it is hard to see the building and there were no signs from the intersection, but they did have a banner near the parking lot. The house itself looks very spooky.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a great concession stand, video games and some not too scary spooks walking around.

Length

It was about 15-20 minutes in length.

Actors' Performance

Some good, some bad....the guides are too friendly. They ask how your day was and how the house has been so far. This is good for families or smaller kids but not for those who want to be scared. Suggestion: Maybe while waiting for the next room to be ready, the "guides" should tell some kind of story to lead into the next room. There were a few actors who did a good job of scaring.

Appropriate For

Families and kids 12 & up

Summary

The house was decorated nicely but wasn't very scary. The guides are quite nice, but that of course really lowers the scare. I think the bus was neat, but there was way too much fog so it was very hard to see what was supposed to scare you.

Compared to the last couple of years the house dissapointed me with the scares but still had some great rooms and a couple of scares. I enjoyed the 3D room, the creeky bridges and the house itself.

Overall good job!

There were some neat characters in the parking lot and wait area.

This is a long house. It cover lots of areas and has lots of levels.

There were lots of real characters throughout the hosuse with some rdeal great makeup and costoms. The actors were very good at making the rooms and mazes work.

Appropriate For

Teens and up

Summary

The house has great sound lights and is really well decorated. The 3d effects are neat and the bus theme was very awsome and scarry. The creature room was well done.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

You can't miss it. Cars parked on the street. Lights, noise, parking directors with orange lights.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Plenty of spooks wandering around and interacting with the crowd. The best consessions I've seen. Video games. Large gymnasium with plenty of seating for waiting.

Length

I forgot to set my watch. My guess is about 25 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Some of the actors are very in to their parts. Some monsters hang around too long getting rather annoying instead of scary. Hubertus House of Horror has the friendliest spooks of all time! "This way sir." "Please continue over here."

Appropriate For

12 and up. Children should be accompanied by adults.

Summary

Starting the haunt by climbing though a haunted bus was great.
The rooms designed for the liquid crystal glasses are very cool.
The dark passage ways are a little dangerous. I got a minor cut about two inches long from something sharp jutting out of one of the walls. The ladies at consession stand were extremely nice and got me a wet napkin and a band-aid to patch up the situation in a matter of seconds.

Hartford Jaycees Haunted House

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Great signs pointing to the haunted house.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Consessions available.

Length

About 15 minutes including the haunted trail and the haunted house.

Actors' Performance

Good performance from the actors. Could be even better if the actors tried more of a suprise attack than a slow spook (which gets booring after a few seconds).

Appropriate For

Kids and Young Adults. Adults may want to bring some younger people so there is plenty of screaming.

Summary

Great set design. Spooky old house seems like it might be haunted without any help from the actors. The wait system is MUCH better this year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Great visibility with a parking lot full of hearses. Nice location in an abandoned looking industrial building.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Lots of actors around to entertain the waiting guests. Concessions available.

Length

Very long event. I forgot to set my watch before entering but it seemed like we were inside for about 40 minutes and it felt like we had walked a long distance.

Actors' Performance

Excellent performance from all the actors. The actors jump out of nowhere and disappear again before the shock wears off.

Appropriate For

Adults and young adults. Probably too scary for younger children ones.

Summary

Everything has changed in Terror on Rural Street for this year. The scare factor is definately been turned up from previous years. The dark passages are laid out well to avoid any injuries. We were able to go through as a group of two which made the haunt even more terrifying.

We went with someone who knew the area well.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Snacks, video games and plastic elementary school chairs!

Length

Actors' Performance

Nice work, but almost too accomodating for a haunted house at times.

Appropriate For

12+

Summary

Best of use of 3D effects we've ever seen--wish we could go through that again! A handful of suspenseful surprises here and there--definitely a good haunting tour, but at times staff were almost too friendly and helpful.

Summary

One of the best we've ever seen. Very creative in its use of horror re-enactments, active in it's use of crawl spaces, slides & staircases and inventive use of lighting and effects. Well worth the long drive (although no long line made the trip worth it as well).
