2008 Event Reviews

I didn't know what to expect when we went to the Haunted Cornfield, and it was GREAT! It was nothing like I expected. It was great seeing that children are involved in the haunt as well. The scene setting is out of this world and all the fun tricks they have is totally unreal that it would be in a haunted cornfield.

I want to add that the characters in the field and out are great! Having the children in the cornfield is pretty creepy. You aren't expecting to see these little people running around and scaring you, but there was one that just scared the pants off me. It was close to the clown area. He/She stayed in complete character the whole time. Mad Props!!

Six of us ladies (24 years of age) took a trip out to the Bear Den this past weekend. It was well worth the drive. The Bear Den has yet again outdone themselves! One of the girls with us was actually in tears… We left laughing and screaming so much that we were all teary eyed! If you are looking for some great scares the Bear Den is your place! I would recommend leaving any little ones at home though… it was really intense!

My experience at this corn maze was far from anything to brag about. We arrived at the haunt at around 9:00 and it was on the busy side as we thought it might be with such nice weather. We got our wrist bands for $18.00 then went and stood by the bonfire. The storyteller was pretty good, except for the fact he would stop ever 45 minutes or so to check with the people running the event for what numbers are beginning called, as the board displaying them had worked sometimes only. The storyteller left around 11:30 from the event as he wasn’t going to get paid a minute past then he told us. Our numbers where finally called at 12:30. We then got into the haunt shortly after that and it took about 15 minutes before we even saw 1 live actor. About half way thru the maze we had to stop as we caught several people ahead of us and one of the workers (monster out of character) told us to hold on as there was a traffic jam. Pretty much this continued on and off for the second half of the maze, even coming to a 10 minute stop 3/4ths of the way thru with another live actor who was controlling traffic. At this point people behind us are yelling just lets us get out, this is horrible. We finally finished in the 45 minutes they advertised. Over I would say without stopping probably not even 30 minutes to get thru, and only about 6 live actors. The rest of the sets in the maze are set up poorly and cheaply. They use yarn to hang from the ceiling which can get tangled and get caught on your neck or other body parts. When my girlfriend talked to the owner after the haunt he said it was security that was in charge of making sure it would not get backed up.

I really enjoyed my trip to Haunt Fest. When I first entered the haunt I didnt think I was going to leave that night. :)
It is well worth every penny. There is also a wait area that really takes away the wait because of everything to do. They have a DJ,concessions,games,and also monsters. I know there was a clown and a chainsaw guy out there waiting to torture you. I would recommend getting the VIP Straight to Hell Pass. It really seems like you're going straight to hell when you enter the place. Dont let me forget to mention how great the actors were. They stayed in character the whole time you saw them. Some of them actually seemed as if they were really demons. I loved the elevator ride. That was awesome also with the little girl in there waiting to scare you. I also liked the cage maze at the end. I would recommend this haunt to anyone that likes being scared. But not for the easily scared. I actually seen two girls run out of the haunt in the first room.

This year at Splatter house since their new location, this haunted house has gone down hill since the previous years...they lost their touch and after being a fan of this haunted house for a couple years now and a frequent custome I was not satisfied. Splatter haus you guys need to get it back together for next year!

Wow what a difference 3 years makes! we attended this 3 yrs ago and thought it was great. Now i feel they missed the ball on this house, 90% of it was walking through complete darkness and when you finally came into the rooms there was little effort ftom the actors and the scences were not very impresive. Th sign at the front said it was menned by the Brillion highschool nad it showed, at one point where ther was a girl stomping her feet , she actually screamed out "dont touch my f**cking bike". Not very appropriate for highschool kids . There were many steps that we tripped over and we actually ran into a pole in the midle of the door in complete darkness, they should warn visitors of these hazards before someone gets hurt. I did not find this huant to be very fun nor scary at all, with no imagination put into it. When i finally turned on my phone light to see if there any more hazards, a boy told us " that just takes the fun out of it". I replied with the fact that they did that as soon as they shut the door.

This haunted house was very fun. If you go, I suggest going through both haunts because I liked the second one a lot better. You should go with a group of your friends to make it more fun. I'm a major wimp. Last year I practically chickened out, but this year I went and I didn't think it was very scary. It was more fun. So remember to go first!

I really liked the effects of this haunted house. Lots of cool rooms to go through. I really liked the fence maze, vortex room, and the inflatable hallways to squeeze through. It seemed like it was really big, it took us quite a while to get through.

We went with our kids during the day time session. During the day it was fun but not very scary. There is a novelity shop that had a variety of things from cheap to a little more pricy. A little for everyone. They also had popcorn and beverages. There was a pizza stand on the grounds that is trying to make money for the stoughton youth center. They also have a large sheltered area for the wait to get on the wagon ride to the grave yard, or to eat your food (thay have a few picnic tables). The price was nice at $5 per person and 3 and under free. During the day they have tour guides and no spooky coustumes. We went back that night without the kids and it became a whole new experiance. There were many ghouls, surprises in the woods and in the barn. I don't want to say to much about what is in store during the evening and ruin the surprise. We had gone at night last year and alot has changed. There were quite a few new additions. At night it is scary. The extra $2 (the price is $7 per person at night) is well worth it. The ladies at the door are vary nice they asked us for comments and suggestions so they could improve the barn. They really care about it being the best it can be.
