2011 Event Reviews

Wow what an amazing job they did this year again. All new house with very tight halls and really fantastic new things this year. The lines were long so we knew it would be worth the $10 entry fee. The trail was way creepy and that guy on the car was really scarey. There was also a corn maze along with a spooky bus ride. but the house was the shining star. Tjere are a lot of unexpected things coming from every direction. It is worth every penny and the profits go to the southern door school district.

Plenty of Parking in lot or around haunt, haunt was very easy to get to, we had no problem finding it. They had monsters tormenting people in line while you waited. We got there at 6:45, and were quick to get in once 7 PM hit. I was w/ 2 other people, and we were able to go in as our own group. The rooms were very detailed, although it was pretty dark at times so you couldn't really see all the detail. About 3 of the rooms we went in there were no actors in, so that was a little disappointing. I'm not sure if this was because we went on a Sunday and they were short or what. The actors all stayed in character very well. We never ran into anyother groups while we were in the house.

As a family we always attend 1 new haunted house every year, this one I must say is my favorite. The facility is very nice. The actors are great and the makeup is wonderful! We take 3 daughters with us ages 10, 12 and 19 and this was their favorite haunted house also. As Mom, I normally just enjoy the momentary jumps and not knowing where they came from surprises. This time was different, I actually found myself being freaked out a little. My favorite room was the hog eating monster dining room.

This house is a personal favorite of mine and I look forward to going every year. Once again, they did not disappoint. The monsters were fantastic and the effects and set design were top-notch.

I think my favorite bits were the animatronic snakes and the Claustrophobia Maze.

This was my first time at the Spooky Stalks Haunted Cornfield and I thought they did an exceptional job.

The wait was short, the make-up and costumes were awesome, and my group and I jumped more than a few times...even when we spotted a monster in the corn and knew he or she would be coming to get us.

Highlights of the trip included the corn maze itself, the little buildings spread throughout with lots of surprises (Watch Out For The Guy With The Chainsaw), the spinning tunnel, and the junkyard.

WOW! I went to this haunt 2 years ago and was impressed back then, but it seems as if the whole place had morphed into one giant living entity ready to scare the daylights out of you.

I loved this place the first time I went, it was super scary. This year was 1,000 times better! I was freaked out the moment I walked into the waiting area. The first haunted house was very creepy to me. The actors kept saying the oddest things to us. Near the end we couldn't walk fast enough to get out. The second house was uber-scary, super dark and twisted. The lead person in our group couldn't figure out which way to go, and you could tell the actors really enjoyed scaring us. The third house was set up like a barn, lots of animals and all of the actors were like hillbillies, which is completely different than the first 2 houses they have.

This is a fanatic haunt! It all started with the parking lot, creepy and scary actors roaming the parking lot giving you a “do I really want to do this” feeling. At the entrance we were entertained by a great actress who entertained everyone in the group and made our wait not feel like a wait. We took advantage of the RIP tickets so we got right in.
The haunt itself was awesome! Not just scary but messes with your mind with visual illusions and lighting. You’re directed through a maze of halls and rooms where tricks are played with your mind. The set design and costumes are amazing. The detail makes each room attraction believable. The actors are second to none! The did not just stick to a script and sound recorded, they were believable in their parts and changed the dialog from the first trip through. I don’t want to spoil the surprises so I will just say if you can only make it to 1 haunt this year, this is the one to go to! Our group went through 2 times and it was even better the second time, even though we knew what to expect the actors made the experience like new again.

Forest of Freaks Was AWESOME! Im not one that really gets scared of "Zombies" but let me tell you i was scared the whole time!!! There were some dissapointing things like 1: we (my husband,me,my two sister in laws ect)spent a 1hr. drive getting there to find out that we would wait about till 11-11:30. 2:There were 2 characters that said some pretty mean things to my sister in law and my husband that i wont repeat. I know that they didnt mean it but still it bothered them both,Otherwise i thought it was pretty good we all had a good time! I really liked one part torwards the end but i wont spoil it for any one ill just say that it felt very very real!I thought it took awhile to get threw but it all depends if you get stuck in a dead end. Forest of Freaks you did a great job!!! I cant wait till next year to see what you guys come up with.The characters all did very good jobs with staying in character and they were also fun. I also thought it was creepy how the whole time that we walked threw they would call out to our names..pretty Creepy. I would reccomend the Forest Of Freaks to anyone. 2 THUMBS UP!!

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.

After you purchase your tickets you will have to stand in line waiting for a hearse to pick you up and take you to your destination. Its about a half mile ride to the start of the haunted forest. The only problem with that was the hearse was very old and not very well taken care of. The exhaust from the tail pipe was leaking into the hearse and made everyone inside feel very light headed and two people in our party nearly passed out before we got to the forest. We pleaded with the driver to stop but he kept on going and didn't stop. Once we got to the forest area and the dizziness went away we all enjoyed it. I did notify them but not sure if this has been fixed, so you may want to opt to walk and not take the hearse.

Wait was long. Que line actors were aweful. Came out of character several times and hit on girls in line. One removed his mask to blow his nose, gross. This haunt has three types rolled into one. Haunted mine shaft, hay ride, and corn maze. Mine shaft was pretty good but needs lighting work. It was hard to see scares in the glare. Hay ride was pretty good. Corn maze was muddy.

Big building. Volenteer staff needs work with timing.
We were in line and the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated from the building. Lost our place in line. Waited again and just as we got within a couple of groups the alarm went off again and we were evacuated again. They tried to get people back in by ticket number but we lost our place in line again. They should have checked to see if the fog would set off the old alarm system.

Upon arrival I was impressed with the well prepared parking attendants dressed in reflective clothing and carrying flashlights, who directed us through the large and well maintained farm property. There was ample parking and the entire layout is designed to handle a large crowd.

There was no large crowd to be seen and our party of four entered the 3D clown house attraction immediately. The 3D effect was very impressive and it was quite fun. This was my first experience with 3D glasses at a haunted event and I was happy with the outcome.

Moving on to the larger haunted house I appreciated the well designed rooms, giving the impression that we were wandering through an actual house of sorts. There were interesting and creepy room sets and props, but very few actors. The young lady actors we encountered played their parts especially well. It may have taken 20-25 minutes for us to walk through both events, and the fear factor was rather low.

At the end of the event we entered a large dining area with a considerable variety of food and beverages. Each staff person we met was very friendly and the Eugster farm is well managed and family friendly, day or night.
