Review

I have been attending this haunt for about the last 3 or 4 years now and it is truly amazing how they seem to be steeping up their game and improving year over year. After attending a very poor cornfield maze the week before, myself and a group of friends decided to visit this Haunt to get the season moving again. We arrived at the place at around 6:50ish. There were already a good number of people before us there. We stood in line for tickets for maybe 5 minutes. We then went into their covered waiting area which was a huge tent. They had the visitors sorted into rows of about 30-40 people. A worker told us which row to stand in, so after about 20 minutes or so of waiting, it was time for our row to step up(*Note* while waiting in line there was various ghouls and evil clowns scaring the living daylights of some young attendees, which really set the mood). We where sent in with out group of 4 and as you enter the first house is very much set up like an old haunted mansion, with a ghoul up top dangling a baby doll from a string at you on at the entrance, just a great start. I don’t want to give too much away, but the inside of the first house had some of the most detailed and nicely hidden creatures I have every seen. The details that go into these rooms are above and beyond anything around. The actors where very into their jobs and did a great job of making you jump or scream.

After we exited the first house there was about a 5 min break so they could properly make sure that the groups didn’t catch other. The waiting area in-between houses were set up and themed greatly so it would break the mood.

We then entered the second house, and it sums this one up, it’s darker and uses strobe lights very nicely. They even had a green type of laser strobe light which gave a great effect on the creatures as they seem to pop up and then out of view. The scares are still top notch in this house and you won’t be disappointed. Especially at the way you have to exit the 2nd house.

We then had another 10 minute break before entereing the 3rd and 3-d haunted fun house. Before entering the house you are given a pair of 3-d glasses. Once inside it is amazing as the artwork and colors jump off the wall due the effects. The house lacked live actors but was just overall visually amazing!

Summary

Overall took a bout an 1 hour to make it thru all 3. For $25.00 how could you go wrong, worth every penny. Also keep the wristband on and you can go again Nov.1st for half price! I highly recommend this house!!
