2010 Event Reviews

This was one of the best haunted houses we have been to in a long time. From the time you are standing in line, to the time you are walking out, you are being spooked and surprized. You can tell that they have put a lot of time and energy into making this a quality experience. Actors are flawless, costumes are great, location is ideal. YOu have to walk a path through the woods, which for us was the scariest part.

That was the best time ever the make up and props were awesome!! They give the best scare ever!!

I routinely attend Splatterhaus as I find it to be one of the most intense haunts in the state, and this year is no different.

I appreciate Spatterhaus' strategy of having the guest enter a room, consider the scene and then the room goes dark and your scare approaches.

From which direction? One never knows.

Costuming is high end and the house always has good sensory effects.

This year's version of the house has some recycled material from previous years, but it is still startling.

As I consider Splatterhaus, I always think of the word, "intense".

The visitor is hit with loud music, pitch black corridors to negotiate and explosive scares.

I live in Kenosha Wi and decided to make the run up to Waukesha Wisconsins Fear Grounds. It was so worth the trip. Hands down, this was the most well organized, best designed, and overall the most scvariest haunted house I have ever been to. Tim and his wife deticated alot of money and time to make this Haunt worth ever penny and you can see it. The detail says it all. I was most impressed with the actors and there makeup and their ability to act the part they were playing so genuine. This was acually my second time attending this Haunt within a week. Awesome job to all those who made this Haunt such a vivid experience.

The haunted house was the greatest so far this year! It was easy to find-considering the line of people outside the house waiting to get in was hard to miss. There were people outside trying to scare you before you went in-it really set the mood and was entertaining to watch-it distracts you from some of the wait time. Once at the door you are led inside-and THEY HAVE AWSOME PROPS!! some of the scare come out of nowere-the make-up was quailty-I loved the black light and the pitch black room. I wish it was longer-but hey it was free and it was definately worth the wait in line. I will be going again next week, and years to come!

This event was really enjoyable.

It may not be clear in the haunt's listing here, but there are actually two separate events at the same location.

One is the Ghost Tour. This was really fun, and it was great to go through a historical building that had a natural element of creepiness to it. The spiral staircase was incredible to look down, and one could definitely see a person jumping top their death from the top of it.

Constructive criticism, some of the security guards could have been spruced up with some simple face paint just to keep the haunted atmosphere going. It's hard to get scared when you see big security guards there ready to keep people safe. Some face painting could help counteract this.

Also, as with the 2nd event at this location, the acting could use a little work. Screaming "get out" is a bit cliche. Perhaps the bride would beg men passing by to marry her, and accuse women passing by of trying to steal her mate. Perhaps the Durkee Mansion woman could try to get passerbys to sit with her for some blood tea. Taking a little time to develop a character for each actor would help immensely. Anything other than "get out."

The 2nd event was the haunted house which was put on by some kind of teenager charity organization. There was some really great stuff going on here. It was really impressive, I only wish it had been longer.

The waiting area had some gravestones set up, but could probably use a bit more decoration to help get the mood going right away. Maybe some weird lighting or cobwebs or fog. Maybe some actors opening windows and yelling at the crowd. The tiki torches were a nice touch, did you know that they make tiki torches that have green and purple fire? Just a thought.

One of the best parts was the 4 trolls that wait by the gate under the building. These guys were really decked out. I had to get my picture taken with them they looked so great. Great acting from them too.

They have an area that sells hot drinks, sodas and popcorn and candy. That was good.

Not sure how this can be taken care of, but there was a problem with guests using their cell phones as flashlights through really dark areas in the haunted house, particularly the mazes. This always lessens the experience.

Also regarding the fear rating, I'm thinking the fear rating , it may be a bit more scary than the event has set their fear rating at. At least I thought so.

Really great stuff here though. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Even thoguh i only went to the first one i was amazed.It wasn't just popping out scared but they had character. I like to play along with the characters and they did very well. Some parts were too dark and i ran into 4 walls with nails sticking out.

This was a great haunted house, definitely my favorite so far this year! Great detail, I love that there's 4 houses and it's very reasonably priced.

I have been to Mars Haunted House before but I must say they really outdid themselves this year. The sets were very painstakingly detailed from what i saw whoever designed the sets took great care in making each room come to life. The lighting for each room was very well done to compliment each scene that always keeps you guessing what will come up next.

The acting and performances were very intense and in your face which they are not afraid to do. Each one did an amazing job. One in partiular got me and (though i dont want to spoil anything i must say) the lady before the Egyptian room dubbed "The Statue" or the "Stone Lady" did an incredible job. i thought she was a maniquin. Though you dont have to take my word for it its better if you see it yourself.

The Crowd control was very well handled though they dont just leave you waiting bored outside. They have monsters who roam the lines and entertain you getting you pumped up for the excitment ahead. Never a dull moment at this haunt!
