2006 Event Reviews

One thing I thought was really good was that there's a haunted house, haunted hayride, haunted trail, and haunted corn maze for one price. It's a lot of entertainment.

The only thing that could really improve TOTF is adding more actors (especially on the train), but it's still early in the season so more may be coming already.

After polling the 14 members of our group (we split into two for the actual house), the overall consensus was that this was overall the best haunted house we had attended. I've gone every Halloween to at least one haunted house, and my friends visiting are also have, and we agreed that Morgan Mansion was definitely a good choice. The reasonable price (there is no reason for $25 dollar haunts or the like) was well worth the small trip from Milwaukee. Any haunted house can be lame if you let it be, but if you try to have fun and be scared then you will be, but let's just say that at Morgan Manor I didn't have to try too hard. I went in claiming I was going to scream on purpose, just because it was more fun that way. I came out with a sore throat, but not from screaming on purpose. When trying to decide among the many haunted Wisconsin attractions, choose Morgan Manor for a good, and scary, time.

We waited for the train for about 20 minutes, and then waited another 17 minutes or so on the train before we moved. This was because they stopped selling tickets at 11:30, and this was the last train for the night. It could change later in the month if the crowds get bigger.

The train ride took about 8 minutes. This was our first time there, so the train ride was really new to me. I thought it was cool, although the train was slower than I had hoped it would be. They had a strobe light and a fog machine on the train, as well as a few actors walking around scaring people. The only problem I noticed was after a while the fog to get sickly because there was no ventilation.

We had combo tickets, so after the train ride we went through the 3D Carnage house. It was cool seeing how the paint and scary scenes came out at you, and the vertex was pretty cool in 3D as well. There were only a few actors inside this part and it only took three minutes to walk through. Overall, it's worth the $3.00 extra, but only once, and only if you want to walk through the vertex.

After the 3D house we walked a little ways through the woods to wait in line for the main attraction. We only had a short wait, about 8 minutes. The facade on the house was awesome. It looked like a real old mansion, but it was mostly made of semi trailers. It was by far the coolest looking house I have been at. It was smaller in person than what it looks like in advertisements and on the video screens, but it was cool nonetheless.

Overall it was very well done. The whole experience starting out with the train and ending up at the house is cool. Almost everything about this haunt is unique and different from any other house I have been to. The staff was great, actors and non-actors. Even the guy who answered my email earlier in the day was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this haunt to anyone 13 or older; however, if you have seen a 3D house and a vertex take the non-combo ticket and save your three bucks for another house.

Very Reasonable price.
Good Scares.
I would check it out.

Overall I thought the experience was great, well worth the money. Many areas to look at detail and they even included kids that were dressed up in the appropriate costumes for the areas. I also went out in the afternoon for the kids, they absolutely loved it. They walked throught the barn with music playing and then we went on a wagon ride. They had a blast.
