2006 Event Reviews

If ur looking for a good time to get the *@!? scared out of u come to this place i caant even say enough of the things about it it was soo good well worth the drive and the wait.

This place rocks.. Also the price is not bad at all.

I got scared

90% of it is walking/crawling in the dark. Lots of people were lost, and we kept running into the people in front of us. I was disappointed in the actors performance/lack of actors. Maybe we came on a bad night, but it was not worth waiting 2 1/2 hrs. Last year was way better.

This is a really smart haunt -- it plays off other senses in addition to seeing and hearing, and doesn't just go for the cheap gore or startle response; ghouls take their time in their scenes and seem both very creative and professional. Someone was very thoughtful in putting this together, and in scenes that seem standard to a typical haunt (prisoner behind bars, severed body parts, etc), they give things a little extra oomph, while at the same time keeping everything right on the edge so it doesn't get so exaggerated it becomes boring (for example, the gore is used only when it makes sense for the scene, and since it's used sparingly and paired with smell, it's more effective than it might otherwise be). And I have to say, the disorientation/misdirection with the clown was top notch and THANK SATAN there were no clowns with chainsaws or Killer Klown masks; that's so cliched at this point. Haunt proper took about 25 minutes to get through, and miracle of miracles, we never ran into another group while there, so they must pace things well. This is probably the best haunt we've been to this year; only criticism is that there sometimes seems to be a good deal of dark space between scenes, though this was also taken advantage of at times and never devolved into a boring maze. My hat (scalp?) is off to the House of Darkness.

HOT TIP: Interact with the ghouls! Some of them seemed awfully clever...

its very bloody to start and then you go into complete dark and walk alone, that is if you dare walk slow, very cool!

Cheap compaired to others I've gone through.

Overall ok didn't really get scared. Needed more actors and less props.

Some of the ideas in here were created by some really sick minds. Others were just the general haunt stuff that you find everywhere else.

Um, for additional comments, I would suggest if at all possible throwing a tarp over the roofs of the walls so the light reflection doesnt spoil whats ahead, it may also keep the building warm. and Maybe if you could stretch the 3-D Carpet all the way throughout the clown area and add more bubbles? That'd kick major butt! But besides that it was fun, well worth the 15.00.
I'd also like to pin out that some of the actors overkilled their rolls, like they acted awesome, its just they would overact such as the clown rule giver.

LOVED IT!

This so far this year is the BEST Haunt I have been to, I have a few others on my list to go but wow, from the actors to the trippy rooms, this is one place you will not want to miss!
