2007 Event Reviews

They have done it again. I thought last year was great and they far surpassed that. There was nothing I could even say was mediocre. You earned every pumpkin and ghost I give you!

In some places I almost wished there were just a tad more light because I could see there'd been so much detail put into the scenes and into the makeup and I couldn't see it due to such dark lighting.

I've gone to Youth-Go's houses for a number of years now. These guys and the Oshkosh Jaycees put on some of the area's best charity haunts. I always like going to them because I know that if I don't like it, at least the money is going to a good cause. It wasn't one of their better years, but still very good. Well worth the price of admission. Include it in your House tours.

I liked it better where it was last year. It wasn't very scary being downtown.

Seriously, one of the BEST houses in Wisconsin. I've been attending scares for the past 16 years, and I can't say enough good things about this one. Excellent wait area, the house is huge which means that it's alot longer than most, it's DARK and creepy the way houses should be, they really use noises and sound effects to their benifit, and it's creative.

One thing I'd like to note, and I hope people who put on haunted houses read this. When using strobes lights, you need to be CAREFUL! I'm a professional entertainer who uses strobes, and I'm familiar with the different kinds availible. There was one point in this house where it was pitch black and we were strobed with a extremely high powered strobe (750 watts!) from about 4 feet away. A smaller strobe (75 watts or even 50)would have done the trick when it's that dark. I went to bed that night still seeing the glare of the strobe. Those high powered lights are meant to be used from a distance (like a dance hall mounted up very high), you could seriously damage someone's vison!

With all of that said, you don't have to spend a ton of money to do a haunted house right... just give use scares!

This was the first haunted house that I attended this year, and I think it was a nice warm up for things to come. The layout of the house was very good and the environments (what I could see) were very well decorated. Loud noises do it for me the best and this place had it's share of them. The house probably only took about ten minutes to walk through, but some groups may travel at a slower pace than my two man group. All in all I say check this one out for yourself, while the lines are still small.

It may have been our timing but we had an awesome time, so from my expierence it was WELL worth the 20 bucks. (we did both haunts)
