The Mars House had absolutely no signage at all so it was a good thing that we were on a bus with a driver who knew where they were going otherwise we'd never find it. It was in a quite urban part of Milwaukee and was right next to a liquor store that seemed quite active at night. The people who worked there had no back entrance to come in through so we saw most of them walk around the block to come in. Many were in make up just walking around smoking which was kind of a spoiler.

We showed up early and were first so there was no real wait. It's an outside wait around the building if you do have to though. No entertainment before you get in but once you get to the ticket booth up the stairs it's quite cramped and unorganized. One negative thing I experience was that the lady working in the ticket booth was very rude and had no patiencs. I think she needs to take in the factor that people come a long way and spend a lot of hardworked money to come to their little haunted house that lasts at most 15 minutes so they need to show some respect.

There was a clown room that had a slow moving strobe light and it made the movements of the actors unexpected. There was not only the visual and the actor elements but they did wall air shoot outs, banging under the floor, and banging on the walls.

This place had a lot going on at every corner. They had just enough people to cover the area and in some areas an abundance. The special effects were really good and the actors scare timing was right on. For the second show of the night they were prepaired and ready for us.
