We were so lucky to get there by 6:45pm. We were waiting in the "holding pens" and at 7:00pm, all of the monsters came out! The costumes, make up and acting were phenomenal! That was probably the highlight of the evening! We toured the 4 houses--you really need to do all 4, which took a total of 40 minutes. The sets and decorating were wonderful. The 2nd house was the creepiest for all of us--darkness and claustrophobic hallways. Good pacing and organization throughout. None of the houses were very scary, however, just fun to see all of the special effects and set design.
