2011 Event Reviews

Thank you Hartford jaycees for a awesome show! I absolutely loved it! Three of us went out to slinger last night to experience the 27th season of HJHH. Let me say the detail and the technical aspect did not disappoint. They cram so much into the house it is crazy!
We got there about 8:35 or so went into the house about 9:25 or so. We waited a little bit. The neat looking old barn did have heat and treats and a movie to watch while you waited for your ticket number to be called.
We went off through the haunted forest first which was short and sweet. Then made are way to an unique crawl feature before knocking on the door to doom!
The actual house was jam packed full of animatronics, ghouls , detail and fun. The actors were theatrical not relying too much on scary but still fun. Made us jump enough times which was awesome! Creepy humor was included in most of the actor's dialogue. I loved that part as well.

The Haunted Barn was pretty fun. My husband and I and a friend attended it around 10pm. Definantly was worth the drive and the money. We had lots of fun. Beetlejuice was GREAT!! He stayed in character the entire time he startled me a few times but other than that he was my fav.The wait in line wasnt bad at all. and while your wating around you can buy some snacks as well as "getting burried alive". It was pretty cool.I dont like clowns AT ALL and right as you enter there are 2 but other than that I dont think there was any more of thoes so if you are afraid of clowns you dont have to worrie about them once you get past the entrance. I think that once you get outside that they could have had some more characters to fill in some empty spaces but otherwise I thought it was pretty fun it isnt the scariest but it was fun, so if your lookin to have fun with friends and or family I think that this would be a good haunted house to attend.Oh and I will warn you that there are very thight spaces and a couple steps. so be careful!!

Let me just type this now and get it out of the way. THIS IS THE BEST HAUNTED HOUSE AROUND! I love going to as many as I can, but none can compare. This haunt is put on by PROFESSIONALS, and it shows! There are so many scares through-out!

The wait area is inside a warehouse, and this year they show a movie instead of playing loud music. The video game is also fun, where you can control an automated scare inside the haunt and watch as you scare someone! The food is decently priced, and the merch booth is great.

There are a few rooms that were reused from last year, but that didn't make it any less scary! A great touch this year is the one and only Freddy Kruger! The music is a bit too loud, but that probably helps distort you a bit and assist in the sensory overload that you go through. I honestly never screamed so much at a haunt before. They are that good.

For many years, the Morgue has been one of my favorite local haunts. From the walk in the woods, to the wait area, to the Morgue itself... I lov it all! It's been two years since I've attended, so I was very excited to visit once again.

I have to be honest and say that the woods let me down this year. There were only two 'monsters' in the woods, and both were texting on their phones. ZZZZZzzzz. The woods really help set the mood for the rest of the night, so this was a let-down. To be fair, I know that the Morgue relies on volunteers, and it's a different group every night. I also noticed there were black lights in several places in the woods. To me personally, this took away from the scary walk in the dark.

When you go to the Morgue, be prepared to wait a good hour or two. This haunt has always had great 'word of mouth' press going for it, and there are always big crowds there. The wait area is done EXTREMELY well; it's the best outside wait area in Wisconsin! A huge bonfire that they always keep roaring big, a very good concession stand, videos or a movie playing on a big screen, and lots of space to move around. They normally will have some actors lurking around getting a few screams before the fun really starts.

Since I've been in it last, they have changed up the Morgue quite a bit. But one thing that hasn't changed is the Morgue witch. She's always there at the entrance, every year, greeting you with her pale face and dead eyes. She's basically the mascot from hell! When she meets you at the door, it's like coming home!

I won't give away any of the fun inside the Morgue, but it will not disappoint. Another solid year from the underdogs that always have been the best kept secret in the area. Do yourself a favor and check it out. A lot of fun at a great price!

I took my little sister who's 9 and my boyfriend to this barn thinking it wouldn't be to scary. I'm 16 and I really don't get scared to easily but this haunted barn was so well set up and kept you going through wondering when it would all be over. It's a lot longer then I thought and for only $8 it's well worth the money. I would recomend this to anyone! It was probably the best haunted house I've been to which is saying a lot! Stop wasting all your money on other haunted houses, go to this one!

Me and my friends went last year and this place is the best! We fell to the ground at least 6 times! It is totally scary this year. There are more scenes and it looks alot different this year. They keep changing it around. I'm going again! this is a real scary haunt and they use real looking weapons and throw maggots at you again. This really creeps us out.
