Signage / Visibility / Location
We've been there before, so it was pretty easy for us, we just remembered how to get there -- but I remember last year we almost missed the turns into Fireman's Park.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We didn't have to wait extremely long, maybe a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. The wait area always has actors walking around who you can have fun with. And it's fairly well heated (sometimes it shot cold air out at us!)
Most Unique
The deer head... Even if it wasn't scary.
Actors' Performance
The best thing about Hartford Jaycees is that they have sooo many actors! And they are all really great at what they do!
Appropriate For
13 & Up
Summary
My favorite one of the season -- so far atleast. But I don't see how it can be beat!

Signage / Visibility / Location
We didn't have any problem finding the way, but then again it's really easy when you're coming straight from Waukesha -- but the directions are very straightforward anyway and the entrance is really visible.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was the scariest werewolf that kept harassing my friend and I. Our wait wasn't that long at all, maybe 15 minutes.
Most Unique
I love the hearse, and the first guy you meet is pretty scary too!
Actors' Performance
The actors are really good and enthusiastic! I wish there were a few more scattered in the woods between the fires. They were good about incorprating things we were saying into their routines instead of just following a script.
Appropriate For
10 & Up, probably.
Summary
Definitely one of my favorites this year!

Signage / Visibility / Location
Unfortunately, Splatter Haus' website was down so we just had to get general directions and then once we got in the vicinity we stopped at a gas station and they gave us good directions from there.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We got there pretty early, so our wait wasn't more than a 1/2 hour. But by the time we were done, the line for tickets had to be atleast a 1/2 hour long.
Most Unique
Either the slide or the ending.
Actors' Performance
I'm more of a traditional haunted house person. I love it when there are more actors. The acts they did have are very enthusiastic though. Unfortunately, we caught up with the group in front of us so saw what was going to happen before it happened.
Appropriate For
12 & Up
Summary
The earlier you go, the better! The wait is much shorter then!

Print off the map and you will be fine. There are burning barrels and a VERY pimp hearse with purple underbody glow out front, so it's hard to miss once you come within 20 feet of the entrance.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Unique, but a little confusing. The 'line' is indoors in the arena. It is warm and has some entertainment. The fashion in which they circulated groups was effiecient, but confusing. Basically, the more people you want in your group, the longer you will wait. At least it seemed that way. There are also concessions outside.
Most Unique
I can't pick one unique characteristic of the haunt, so I will run down the top few. The lighting/fog effects were my favorite, hands down. The make-up and scenes were professionally done(literally). Air cannons are a nice touch. Body Bag Room ROCKED!
Actors' Performance
AWESOME! Everyone was really into their roles. Even the younger kids did a spectacular job. Plenty of good scares.

Summary
From what I understand, the production crew that designed The Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney helped create this event. The Darkness had every feel and sight of a high-dollar haunt. The quality of this event is worth the $12 alone. DEFINATELY A MUST SEE!!

Very easy to see signage considering the type of old building this house is held in. The area itself is fairly dark but sign is easy to read.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
A local Pizza Hut was selling pizza which was a nice distraction as we waited to get into the house.
Most Unique
The subway is very unique as is a junkyard.
Actors' Performance
Some rooms were very frigntening, others less so.

Summary
Overall this house is well worth the price and the wait we had this particular night. The actors were utilized well and overall were really into what they were doing.

Signage / Visibility / Location
There weren't many signs on the way there. You could definitely tell when you were approaching the house however-lots of lights and signs directly at the house. Great location for haunted woods. Gas station attendents in the area were very helpful with directions!!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait was not long at all. There was a concession stand with homemade goodies, including Puppychow!!There was only one actor trying to scare people while in line. The workers were very friendly.
Most Unique
Lots of bonfires and eerie lighting. The characters were all made up really well. Some parts were out in the woods and others were in a covered maze-like area.
Actors' Performance
The performance of the actors was out of control. This is positively the best haunted house I have ever been at. The actors were wonderful. They were very good at not showing themselves before they spooked you.
Appropriate For
13+...I did see some younger children with adults that had to leave because they were too scared.
Summary
I was scared throughout the entire time in the woods. An old hearse brings you from the line to the beginning of the trail! The trail was very long, probably lasting 30 minutes. Definitely worth the drive and money! Thank you for such a great time!! I'll be back next year.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area is very excellent. You can stand by a fire to keep warm, buy pizza to eat while waiting in line, and play a game that lets you and your group get closer inline.
Most Unique
The most unique thing i thought was the Alien Scene just because it was a crop circle and everything.
Actors' Performance
The actors were AWSEOME! They scared you around every corner and the scenes were awsome as well. I request this to everyone!
Appropriate For
10 and older.
Summary
I prefer this to everyone. If you want a good scare come here, the actors wont let you down.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Excellent directions provided both by website and mapquest.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Bonfire waiting area was helpful for our group to keep warm while others went thru the maze. Have been to this event before and it was a nice addition to have the fire there to keep warm rather than stand in a long line all night.
Most Unique
Sounds - seemed like when you least expected it there were strange sounds comming from areas whereas last year there was steady sounds in different parts of the field. This change really helps the effect of spooking or creeping you out as you walk along.
Actors' Performance
The actors were good, made us jump a few times more than previous adventures. Great attention to details on the scenes and lighting.
Appropriate For
10+
Summary
Definately a must do event if you're looking to have a good time. I wouldn't compare this to a haunted house in anyway at all. Much better as an outdoor experience rather than being inside a building. There's also a chance to win a VIP ticket (which sends you to the front of the line) while you wait beside the fire which helps in the waiting game.

With the directions given, and the signs it was very easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
While we were waiting we could sit by the fire, go through the halloween store, and look for a pumpkin. The wait didnt seem that long because of the great waiting area. I like the waiting area insted of standing in like and being bored. This is one of the better waiting areas that i have seen.
Most Unique
I think the most Unique thing there was how the whole thing was set up and the differnt scenes they had there.
Actors' Performance
The actors did a great job of scaring my group and I. Some of the actors came to life when we were around them and that freaked us out, others would come out from no where and scare us. Everyone in the group got scared the actors did a great job of scaring people in the whole group. A few times i felt like i was being followed or watched even that was the best part no one knew when the actors would show up.
Appropriate For
any
Summary
I think that this Haunted cornfield was well worth my time and money. It looks like there was lots and lots of time put into getting this even together.

Very easy to find. The place is huge!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We went through Burial Chamber first then went around back to Blood City. I think we waited about a half hour at Burial chamber and about 20 mins. at Blood City.
Most Unique
Wasn't your typical Haunted House. The characters really worked around you and some were really creepy. It felt like you were really inside a small city. To hard to describe. Just really cool!
Actors' Performance
Better than last year. That chick that flies around the room - Way Cool! Very different from Burial Chamber! But we loved it. You have to see for yourself.

Summary
We drove from Milwaukee and felt both Blood City and Burial Chamber were awesome and better than last year. We highly recommend the trip. And with two haunted houses, you can't go wrong. Between the two we were there for a couple of hours. Better then going to the movies!

Very easy to find - What a huge place! The key for us was that they had 2 haunted houses together. We drove from Milwaukee!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We waited at the Burial Chamber for about 30 mins. The waiting area was inside and very cool looking. Plus they had concessions!
Most Unique
The size of the place and how long it took us to get through! It felt like we were in there an hour! Plus having two haunted houses in one place was awesome! We bought the combo pass! If the line was busier we would have considered the fast pass. But we were enjoying ourselves.
Actors' Performance
The actors were awesome. They came out from everywhere and just kept going after us. My girlfriend almost pee'd her pants. The characters were very creepy. Great job!

Summary
We came to the Burial Chamber and Blood City last year and this year was 10 times better. Well worth the money and the drive. We will be back!!! We're haunted house freaks!
