2005 Event Reviews

THIS IS THE SLEEPER HAUNT OF THE YEAR! Don't let the fact that this event is new of under advertised sway you from attending it! I cannot stress enough how scary and well done this haunt is. The average age of the people in our group was about 23, and we all came out of there with our hearts racing and begging for more.

All in all it was a great time.Better then alot of the bigger more expensive places. They do a good job at just at surprise scares.

Even though it was cold and drizzly, there was quite a line. We got the "RVIP" passes to skip the line, which was great.

This place was great. I won the tickets off of this site and wouldn't have made the 1 1/2 drive there otherwise. They gained a couple of customers because we will go for sure next year, it was that good. Also, since it was just getting dark when we arrived, they asked if we in front minded if people with little kids cut since it was a little light yet. We didn't so we waited about an hour so it was funny to listen to the little kids. It really was a great haunt.

I'd reccomend it to everyone. Cheapest one in the GB area, little line wait time and not too bad.

I went to my first Haunted House when I was 10 years old. It is one that is still ingrained in my memory as the best I have ever went to. Probably hyped in part by the evening (a full, huge and blood red moon was rising as we were waiting in line to get in), the circumstances (my grandfather had just died & it was my first funeral) and the particular Haunted House took us almost two hours to get through (I mean the house itself not the wait in line.) It was also a Jaycee's.

Now thirty years later, with my own kids in tow and as a regular part of our Halloween celebration we visit a haunt or two and this was one of the best so far. This is only my second time going to a Jaycee's Haunted House. I have noticed two types of Haunted Houses. One were you hustle from room to room taking in the barrage of scares and trying to get away from them as quickly as possible. The other like the Jaycee's as you enter a room and are made to wait while a tale or skit is relayed before moving on to the next scare. Personally I prefer this type of Haunted House. It allows me to take in all the wonderful work and decoration that goes into making these events. Rather than a quick glance as I get pushed along for one scare to the next I'm able to soak it all in.

I would say there are two distinct types of horror, one, the gothic variety i.e. Ghosts, Goblins, Ghouls, Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Mad Scientists, Frankenstein's monster and so on. The other a more modern horror, full of serial killers, surreal nightmarish monsters, demons, twisted clowns and sinister hillbillies, playing more on our fear of mortality (especially post 9/11 terrorists) than our fear of evil, the sinister and the freakish.

This Haunt was full of the modern kind of monsters, a fact I lament (I guess either all the gothic monsters are extinct, off on a long holiday or at some other haunt) but no matter, this was a thrilling attraction. This is not to say it was too gory or over the top with slasher types, just that I would have liked a mix of the gothic and modern. Especially would like to have seen a witch or two boiling up some mischief in the woods. Or perhaps meet a werewolf lingering on the wooded trail as we made our way to the house. They were notoriously absent, although we met with plenty of other scares which had us running out of the woods and into to deeper terror. I have to agree with others here the tank leading into the house was way cool. I also really liked the first & second rooms that you enter in the house. The actors there did a great job & it was one of the more creative mixes of story and effects, in the other rooms I did notice less story and more effects, scary no doubt but it doesn't etch itself into memory as well as a good story. Also a high five to the actor who stood waiting to be seen in front of my wife while she cowered in the corner with her hood over her face. Overall it was a fun & outstanding haunt and I recommend it.

This house is great if you like haunted houses for the art.

We had a blast. We will be telling all our friend about it and sending them your way we will be back again next year.

Starting out on the train sets the tone for the whole thing and was great! Not the scariest we have been to, but definately the most fun and entertaining. You can tell alot of work went into it.

When you think you know what's coming next, think again. These haunts are unique, fun and frightening!!

had a good time, spent a little time talking to the people that were wearing sweatshirts outside, think they were like escorts for the roaming people. told me I could volunteer but I want to go to some more huanted houses
