The Haunted Barn has updated itself with a covered waiting area. Do bnot forget to check out their Haunted Horror store across form the waiting area. the store has a lot of useful items for Halloween. Upon entering you are given the rules and let out to wander on your own. i particularily liked the psychedlic room where the 60's meets outer space. The werewolf and the well was very detailed and made me think of the movie the Ring. Fortunately, i did not carry my cell phone. The barn could have used some background sounds or music to add to the fright. One really great area looked like the walls were under construction, and before you took a few steps two young creepy girls blocked your every step to escape. All they wanted to do was play, all I wanted to do was move on because they did a very good job of being creepy. Once out of the barn you moved to the blood shed. The shed was a nice additon but could have used one or two more scenes or frights before moving on to the cemetary. Again more frights along the path would have been nice, however found out they were short some people. So certain, there will be plenty of chances for being scared. One of the characters in the cemetary did scare me pretty well because the set-up was done very well. Some of the monsters came from areas vey unexpectedly, which was more fringtening.
The timing by the actors was pretty good though could use a little work with a little more practice. They had one pneumatic monster that was cool but seemed to jump out rather slowly, so not sure if that scare was working completely. A few more areas to frighten patrons would be great. The wait line was not long, and the scare started even before getting to the first room. You could tell by the detail in some areas a lot of work or ideas went into this haunt. The actors that were present did a very good job staying in character. If interested in refreshments, The Haunted Barn has snacks like pop corn and hot chocolate.
