2010 Event Reviews

I have been to The Haunted Barn the last 3 years and definitely think that this is the best year yet. It takes a longer to go through this year but well worth it. The layout is totally different and much scarier than before – you never know where there is going to be someone hiding ready to scare you from girls at the beginning to the guys at the end its one scare after another.

What an amazing time I had at this show! Everything is super detailed, including the outdoors, scenes inside the houses, and the actors. This haunted house delivers the most bang for your buck!

There have been several haunted houses I have wanted to go to and this one has been top of my list, and let me tell you... THEY DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!!! They have been rated #1 by the Jounal/Sentinal for so long and now I see why. I have no clue how these actors do this night after night, but they are 100% in character the whole time, and their fabulous costuming just adds that much more to it. This is one of the most comelling haunted houses I have ever been too. LOVE IT. That's all I really have to say, LOVE IT!!

This is one of my favorite times of year, and going to the Wisconsin Fear Grounds has become a recent tradition with my friends and I. They always have OUTSTANDING haunted houses there, and this year they added yet another one!! Seriously, the detail in every room, every costume, each make up job, and ever detail each actor gives their characters is beyond imaginable. I rank these guys up there with the best of the best!! Take the time to go see them, but go through all 4 they are WORTH IT!!!!

We went to 2 haunted places that night and Bear Den Zoo was the scariest place that I have been to! Creeps were jumping out all over the place at us and some vampire threw maggots in my hair! That place gave me the creeps! I used to like clowns but now I hate them! The hearse ride out to the woods was great and scary. I can't wait to go next year!

The last time I went through Terror on Rural was probably about 5 or 6 years ago, and they have definitely improved a lot! The lighting effects were great, especially the vortex and the green laser hallway. The actors for the most part were great, with only one or two that seemed new. The asylum/jail room was especially frightening, and the car (you'll have to see!) made me scream and jump.

With the $5 off coupon on their website that you can print out, $25 for FOUR haunted houses was an amazing deal. Every room was so detailed and the actors were great. It was a great mixture of startling noises, sudden appearances, creepy stares and gross outs. I even heard a guy admit that he peed himself halfway through Morgan Manor. Seriously.

These guys put on a hell of a show. I have to say they stepped it up on the detail in a lot of the rooms. The effects are top notch, as the lighting and sound. I can't wait to go through again. If your a Splatter Haus vet. they brought back some of the oldie but goodies. I can see why they put the dark hallways in, so your brain has time to recoup before it gets blasted again. My hats off to the Splatter Haus crew great job.

Great Time! Really Scary!

Decided to make my first Haunt visit to Haunted High and the plan worked out well. I had brought my sister's kids up for the weekend and brought them and my oldest (ages of 15, 14, 12 and 10) daughter for a great time! I have followed Danny Doble's progress on Facebook and was excited to see it in person.

Car parking is good, seems like there is more than enough parking close to the event. The wait line was great, filling the old gymnasium using caution tape and old school desks. Horror movie clips and video of those already in the haunt were projected on the walls. There was also a refreshment stand. Now let's get to the goods.

Our class session started with the group before us having a youngster too terrified to even enter. Good start in my opinion. For the next 30 or so minutes there wasn't a letdown either. Overall the atmosphere was great, going from pitch dark, to a little light. The best part was that most of the scares weren't predicable, since not all came at the darkest points or from the most obvious areas.

The mirrors area was great, one of the better vortex tunnels I have seen and hats off to our favorite scene with the nurse and patient getting 'treatments'. It was just plain creepy and all the kids wanted to move quickly past it.

The actors were all great (except one got caught texting by my oldest nephew) and had great timing. The group in the kitchen had some good one liners for our group. Overall, I was really brought into Haunted High by the energy of the actors. The atmosphere really was used to their advantage.

I've heard a lot of good things about Morgan Manor, but had never seen it. I am so glad that I went! I cannot believe the amount of detail in the house, each room looks fantastic. The monsters were scary, and some interacted with us. Their makeup was fantastic. We were entertained the whole way through, from waiting in line until the very end. The only disappointment is that we didn't see the other three houses. I think we'll be going back next week to see the rest of them!
