Review

Terror on Rural Street has been almost entirely re-done since last year's production. That effort is always appreciated.

The creators of this event put much time into the development of the haunt and much attention is taken to present a safe, secure and fun event.

This year's haunt, per usual, features elaborate and intricate displays and high attention to detail.

The actors interact with the guest and are loaded with amusing dialogue.

Along your way, you will meet various creatures of the dark and have to squeeze your way through a maze.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Terror on Rural Street is located just off of Highway 60 running through Hartford.

There is a flashing sign to direct you to your destination.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Terror on Rural Street has a spacious, heated and covered waiting area.

We appreciated that they provided a television in the waiting area that had the Brewer game on during our visit.

Actors entertain you while you wait and that lighting affords you the opportunity to appreciate the excellent make up effects that this haunt executes.

Terror also now holds the distinction of being the only haunt with a concession stand that serves...wait for it...BEER. Candy and hot dogs are available, as well.

Actors' Performance

Terror's crew of volunteer actors always provide enthusiastic performances.

They are equipped with clever dialogue and let the guest know they care about their entertainment role.

My group really enjoyed their efforts.

Their make up staff is excellent.

Sets Scenes / Props / FX

Terror on Rural is always an elaborate production. Be sure to try to pay attention to the detail along the way.

Length

It took about 25 minutes to complete the attraction.

Crowd Control

Visitors wait in a separate building than the actual attraction. When their ticket numbers are called, they move across a decorated courtyard to the attraction where groups of about 6 or more go in at regular intervals.

Crowd control is a non issue and there are police present, as well.

Most Memorable Moment

My group really enjoyed many aspects of this year's haunt.

There was much commentary on the excellent make up of the actors, the elaborate masks and sets and the overall aura of the attraction.

Personally, I appreciated an area in the attraction that featured spinning lighting effects that are quite unusual.

Summary

Personally, I visit Terror on Rural Street every year and have been coming for many years. The reason I return is because of what a dependably pleasurable experience the producers of this event provide. This is not the most intense scare you can get, but you will get a quality production staffed with invested actors and a lot of seasonal fun.
