2010 Event Reviews

As I have done the last two years, I made my way to Door County to visit a few haunts that remain on the bucket list. I also visited one of my favorites that seems to draw me each year.
The Haunted Mansion through me for a loop this year; typically the house is predicable in that they save the best (my favorite) *the vortex* for last. As I made my way through the house, I saw that the vortex had been revamped *I personally prefer the old version better but, it was still good* only to be stunned that this part of the house was now put into the middle of the house. This was a great trick as return customers such as I get an idea on how the route runs. As usual I was not cheated out of a fun night with some terrific twists. I also have to say that the "monster" outside was pretty darn cool!

The only "real" haunted event in Door County! Four different attractions for a very low price. The scares are in all areas. The mix of outdoor and indoor make it fun. Many real "meaty" body parts added a layer of realism both visual and odiferous! Loved the moving elevator and vortex!!! Narrow and dark halls were creepy and scary.

From beginning to end, an awesome haunt! The sets were amazing and you could definitely tell that these guys strive for originality and creativity that you may not see anywhere else. I must say I loved the elements of surprise in the rooms, you weren't able to find and pick out most of the monsters, you do what you can to find a way out and then all of a sudden there they are! Especially the one mental patient that came out of the lockers! Scared the crap out of me! When it comes to the actors, they did very well, especially the chef in the restaurant. I don't think I had ever been more grossed out! But when someone puts what looks like an under-cooked egg into their mouth is likely to gross anybody out! So I must give him props for that. When it comes to timing, it took about 25 minutes for my group to get through, but without a doubt a very entertaining 25 mintues. :)

A great enterntainment value for the money with four different attractions. The actors really put a great effort to interact with the guests and make every visit a special experience.

Not Good!

Very much worth your while to go see especially because the proceeds are for charity and this group of kids have done a phenomenal job this year!

I read the overview of this haunt the night I was going to go, and it was slightly misleading. The attraction gives all the pricing and dates, however, the times are very vague. "Starts @ 7PM and goes until all haunters have been served."

In my experience, almost all attractions are packed and sell tickets until either 10,11, or sometimes midnight. The attraction will serve all ticket holders.

We arrived around 11:00 because we thought this attraction would still be going. There were no signs leading us there, no lights to guide us just an address and a bunch of cars parked. We got out of the car and it was like a ghost town (no pun intended). There was, however, music and lights coming from one of the buildings. Upon peeking through the glass doors it looked like a costume party. I grabbed my phone and looked at the listing again online, and it mentioned nothing about a costume party.

We asked one of the people who stepped outside where the house(s) were. We were told that they were closed for the night and they closed at 9 and 10 respectively. This was the cast party.

Sweet! :)

We had 4 attractions to go through. All attractions were very well done. I do feel that the bus ride could have been better by having at least one or two spooks. The Haunted Mansion is very well done and can't wait to see what they will have for us next year.

It just keeps getting better. The Burial Chamber has always been a favorite of mine, so my expectations were high as I stood in line waiting to get in. There was only one actor scaring the crowd waiting, but he was doing a good job at it!

We started in Adrendline. If you like old school, dark, IN YOUR FACE haunts, this is your holy grail! It took us about 20 minutes to get through, and they had us jumping the whole time. I was very impressed with how many actors they had in there, very little 'dead time'. The actors there were TOP NOTCH! One was literally propped up in the air (upside down!) by only his legs in a narrow hallway, and you had to walk under him. How did he do that? Bravo!

Insanity was another 20 minute haunt that again, had us jumping left and right. This haunt was not as dark, but still scary! Excellent use of air cannons! I think their strobes they have are too bright for the small rooms they are using them in, it really is blinding. Other than that, I have no complaints and loved every second of it.

The walk in the woods (Phobia) is another great attraction, but it was not open this night. Just as well, as the wind was bone-chilling!

The Haunted Woods were great. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The directions to get there were very easy to follow. Nice to see that the police are also involved in making sure that the patrons are safe. Going through the woods was great and very scary. Lots of cools props and individuals. The Christmas Elf was the greatest. The person walking on the roof with the chainsaw was great too. Will attend again again and again. Each year I will be bringing a big group with me.

This is the third haunted house I have ever visited. During the Bloody Trail and Psycho Maze I was terrified. I don't scare easy and I was hyperventilating! You board the Trauma Transport, which was awesome! The Medusa Mercy Medical was awesome, because I got to interact with the actors. Frights of all kinds! I am definitely recommending this one!

Great Haunt! You get a haunted walk through the mine...which only two people are allowed at a time, haunted hay ride, haunted walk in the woods only in 2's, and a haunted corn maze ALL for $12 bucks. We ordered our tickets off the internet and got the deal. IT is worth every dime. The actors are great! If anything I wish they would have more actors and utilize the great space even more then what they have. Walking through there gave so many great ideas for them. Overall a fun time! Loved it!
