2008 Event Reviews

For a first year haunt, Monster Mayhem did a wonderful job! Located in the basement of Paulo’s Pizza, the location was great! It was easy to find with ample parking. Additionally, the restaurant above the house provided a warm waiting area and the perfect place to grab a pizza, play video games, or stop for a drink after the haunt.

One of the best features of Monster Mayhem was that the owners encouraged visitors to go through in smaller groups, and they did not rush the groups through the house. This was appreciated because it increased the fun and scariness factors!

The journey through Monster Mayhem takes you from room to room filled with various genetically mutated creatures. The special effects were excellent, both creepy and memorable! The elevator ride left some in our group a little dizzy and played on others’ claustrophobia. We were also impressed by the quality of actors in this haunt. Our favorite character was the man at the entrance of the house who delivered his lines with a perfect mix of eeriness and comedy.

Absolutely awesome! Creepy circus music plays throughout and almost all the actors are in makeup, not those cheap, lazy masks unless their part calls for one.

The queue at the entrance is very entertaining, having newspaper cutouts on the wall explaining the history of what happened and what to expect, instead of most houses where you stand around rolling your eyes waiting for your turn to go in.

The vortex almost made me fall! My eyes were jelly!

The actors were totally committed to their parts and very professional, unlike most haunts where they get the neighborhood kids to come over and play around in cheap costumes for a few hours after decorating with front yard ornaments from Wal-Mart.

There were three different mazes in this house, each with a different theme and each very disorienting. A fence maze, a dark maze and a mirror room. The bloody tooth fairy clown made my teeth squiggle! Ouch!

The freak show was very creepy. I thought the fence was going to bust open and the freaks were going to spill out all over me. Ghastly!

The doctor in the torture room almost made my pants fly off in a stream of pressurized pee when he whipped out his huge syringe!

This was an awesome house and I suggest it to anyone looking for not only a scare, but a great time and a commitment from the actors to make you have fun. They can't touch you, but these people are so skilled they don't have to and can still get the job done.

Alot has changed this year, the woods constantly changes their scenes. I love the walk through the woods, it is very creepy. The actors are on cue and jump out at different parts of the group, unlike other places where they only get the front or back of the group.

This is the best haunt i have seen in years and i have been to several each year! The sets were phenomenal the wait (which was about a half an hour) seemed to fly by thanks to all the 'monsters'that play in the barn and the coffin ride! There are all different kind of scares and you can tell the actors love what they are doing.

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!

I'm very impressed with this attraction! The haunts were detailed to the max and the acting was outstanding. A professionally operated event that provides frightening entertainment. I've toured 100+ haunts and this is one of the top haunted attractions in the country.
