Yes, I did show up to this pretty late, but it was worth it and I still got in. (I'm not sure when they stop selling tickets.)

When I was walking up I looked at the line and thought that this was going to take too long, but it was not bad at all. After all, you do go with friends and joke around while you wait. Do dress warm though, I did and the cold didn't even bother me. That made the time fly by because you’re not standing there thinking about how your freezing your butt off and wishing that the line would move faster because you’re the dumb ass that didn’t wear a coat and gloves in the first place. (I did see some people dressed like they were going to the bars and didn’t have anything warm on. Come on, really?)

I do remember when I went to this a few years ago that there were more scary characters walking around outside to scare you while you wait in line. I also liked when they would chase you for a little bit when you walked back to your car. On the day that I went, they had only one character and it was a clown. I have Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) and my friends helped me so that I would not accidentally see the clown. However, I made friends with security and John (Hi John) while I was in line and they asked me to take a picture, I said yes, not knowing that they wanted me to take it with the clown. I was a tad scared, because they pulled me out of line away from my friends and I was alone with this clown. (Okay, so I was mortified.) I was embarrassed and felt bad that these guys were trying to take a picture and here I am balling my eyes out uncontrollably because of their clown. (Sorry guys)

Needless to say, the actual haunt was great. The characters inside popped out at you at the best times and actually were able to make you jump. Their costumes were great and the lighting helped create an eerie feel. I was told that the clown room was pretty creepy. Of course I didn’t look, my friend just about leaped at me to grab my head in order to cover my eyes so I would see, which I didn’t. I would’ve passed out from fear though, I was told there were three clowns that walked around and the painting on the walls was pretty scary too.

Great job everyone at Mars Haunted House! Props to you, John, thank you for all that you did for me and my friends. Sorry again for crying when you wanted to take that picture.  I’ll see you all next year!
