2009 Event Reviews

wow it was very good! we went last year and its just as good! some parts are cool but not that scary but the awesome ones make up for it! we had a great time!

After being slightly disappointed at Wisconsin Feargrounds, we decided to go here at the suggestion of one of our group members. I have to say, this place did a MUCH better job and creeping me out and getting a couple screams out of me. It takes a LOT to scare me, and they did a good job of it a couple times. The costumes and atmosphere were really well done, especially with all the burning fires around every corner.

Although all three houses at the Wisconsin Feargrounds offered something interesting and different, I honestly expected more scares. The makeup was well done and the houses were well put together, but it takes quite a bit to scare me and this place didn't really accomplish that. They relied heavily on gross out humor and acting to scare you, which didn't quite cut it. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I spent more time laughing then screaming. The second house is definitely not for the claustrophobic, just as a warning.

The begining is the same as last year and not as many rooms or scares as in previous years. So unfortunately a little dissapointing. They have two revolving doors and make each patron choose, which makes you wonder what would happen if someone chose right instead of left and vice-versa. The hanging bodies and room of masks was good. You did not know which mask was behind a person intending to frighten yourself until they moved. Sparks flew in one room when a deformed guy ran his metal claw like hand across the screens. This was a very nice effect. The fright factory often had areas where one would crawl through smaller and smaller doorways or slimmer and slimmer pasageways. This really gives one a sense of fear for tight spaces, which occurred throughout the haunted house. The end included two huge airbags side by side, and you could not turn around or stop, otherwise thought could get stuck. Best to keep moving forward. This ending I did not care for and felt they could use a monster at the end once you emerged from the air bags. Too predictable frights and too few, unfortunately for the entrance fee.

This has been the best haunt i have been to so far. I have more to see. It was nice to see someone actually supporting mj. I liked how the rooms were well detailed and there was alot more to go through this year.
my favorite room was the one with neon paint on the walls and floor. I got scared a few times but i have been going to haunts every year for about 7 years. so im used to it. but dont let that prevent you from coming because i guarantee you will get frightend because i did a couple of times.
this is a must do event.

I went last night with a friend to check out a different haunt. It was ok. There was room for improvment. I didnt like that the girl in the first elevator was not in character at all. she just stared at us with a plain look the whole time. and on top of that she wasnt in costume. like she had blood on her face with a t shirt and a jacket. it didnt take that long to go through. i was slightly disappointed.

Oh my gosh! This was by far the best in Southern Wisconsin that I have been to ever. The previous review that I read may have been true for the night they attended but not so for Saturday. First let me say that this attraction for the money is way under priced. For only $8 you will be more than satisfied. The covered entrance is awesome. You feel you are at an amusement park with the way it is set up. When you start up you are given the instructions and rules of the Haunted Barn and that is great. You are surprised at every point during your walk thru. I have been to the others in surrounding areas and although they may have some cool props, the Haunted Barn actually thought things through with secret passages that the actors can surprise you at and believe me they do. You could go throught the haunted barn a dozen times and although certain scenes may not change the surprises around the corners always do, and that keeps the level of excitement up throughout the whole thing. Bloodshed was a great addition this year. It is very ghory and the elements of blood and bones everywhere leaves you to thinking that you want to get out as quickly as possible. The walk up to the woods and the woods together are almost like a nother whole attraction.

This is always my first choice of haunted houses to go to. Every year there is something new that is even scarier than the last and it comes as no surprise to me that this year is better than ever before. Everyone in my group was scared the entire way through! I especially liked the costumes and make-up and the detailed scenery in and around the 3 haunted houses. It was well worth the money they charged for admission and I will definitely return with another group of friends.

The theme this year is a Hunted Hotel and they have lots of uninvited ghosts, specters and people you'd be afraid to meet. Any warm live body is invited to check in, but checking out is a different matter. The halls wihth arrows will get you confused and turned-around to meet a specter or two. One hallway you get trapped and surrounded with what seems no way out, very creepy. One very well done scene was the dining room to great detail. The characters did a good job, and goes to show you should pay your bill before leaving the dining area. At least at this hotel, otherwise could be deadly consequences. The finale is great with many "thing" creeping and made my skin crawl. By the way at the very very end do not forget to run, I did.

Glad to see that they changed all the rooms from past years. Nothing is worse then walking into a room and remembering it from the past three years you have been there.

I went with a group of friends, and the scenery in the house was amazing! You could tell that a lot of detail and time went into construction. As for scares, I was not too amused. Their was some parts where I got scared, but it was a bit weak.

I had an AMAZING time at wisconsin feargrounds. I love the fact that there are 3 haunted houses, each one of them is SO very different from the next, and all three of them are scary! I've been there before, but i have to say that this year was the BEST! My voice is still hoarse from all of the screaming i did! I also loved the fact that we got free stuff after going through all three. I mean $30 for three amazingly scary houses equals about $10 each, alot of screaming, AND free energy drinks? I couldn't ask for more!
