2014 Event Reviews

Worst ever my sister got an air cannon to her ear drum had to escorted out!! You would thing they would make it safer. Don't waste your money

I’ve heard of the Feargrounds for many years. Lot’s of hype as one of the biggest and the best in Haunted Wisconsin. This year I would finally see for myself if could deliver on the promise of fear!.

The Morgan Manor is first, and it’s impressive. It was dimly lit, but you could tell there was defiantly attention to detail. The actors are definitely seasoned. They know just when to jump out or just what to say in your ear to get a scream every time. At one point there was a huge traffic jam with both groups in front of us and behind us. People in my group were separated unwillingly for the rest of this haunt. That added to the sense of terror, but to have that many people crammed together took away from the experience. Total time for this haunt was about 30 minutes.

Carnevil is next, and it has a great 'big top' look to it. Inside are some of the creepiest clowns I’ve ever seen. They were coming out of everywhere! There were no actual walls… just the canvas sides of the tent. They really use that to their advantage as you never really know where or when they will jump out. This haunt took about 10 minutes.

Blackout is the last attraction, and the most unique. I’m not going to go into what you have to do, but trust me… you have to rely on your senses heavily. Once you think you’re done, you have one last mindbender to grasp. Blackout: it’s not just a clever name! This haunt took about 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, in all three parts of the Wisconsin Feargrounds, we were running into people from groups both in front of us and behind us. Considering this Friday night was not crazy busy, I’m scratching my head as to why this kept happening in a seasoned haunt like the Fear Grounds. There were many great scares that we did not get to enjoy because the group before us was literally 5 feet in front of us over half the time. Sometimes this happens in haunts. That's when the actors need to go out of their way to delay some groups or keep them in rooms longer to put space between their visitors.

Even with the traffic jams, we highly enjoyed the Wisconsin Feargrounds. The actors and sets are top notch! If you haven't stopped here yet, or it's been a few years, it's definately worth the trip!

<h4>Signage / Visibility / Location</h4>
<div>Super easy to find. It's huge and lighted. </div>

<h4>Wait Area / Line Entertainment</h4>
<div>The wait line is very nice and covered. They have TV’s playing difference announcements before you enter the haunt, but I couldn’t tell what they were because I couldn’t hear the audio very well. There were a few actors in the wait area that did a good job of entertaining and getting a good scare here and there. We waited for about a half hour before being escorted into a holding pen. That was freaky enough but then one actor was literally climbing on the tops of these pens and hovering over you! After about 5 minutes, we were let out and our adventure started.</div>

<h4>Actors' Performance</h4>
<div>Each actor knew their part well and went above and beyond to deliver.</div>

<h4>Sets Scenes / Props / FX</h4>
<div>This is what sets the Wisconsin Fear Grounds appart from the rest. The sets are amazing!!!</div>

<h4>Length</h4>
<div>For all three haunts, it was about 50 minutes total. </div>

<h4>Crowd Control</h4>
<div>The only real complaint. Improving this will make all the difference in the world.</div>

<h4>Most Memorable Moment</h4>
<div>Blackout by a mile. I personally have never experienced anything like it before. </div>

Was pretty fun. Not very scary but had potential.

Was terribly boring. The only thing worth the money was fast pass. Never jumped or got scared even once! So not worth it!

Excellent haunted house. Great attention to detail, actors where great.

Just awesome terror strikes you from all around. It could be from the ceiling or from the floor. This fear grounds is unique and a must see. There is haunting entertainment from the line all the way through the three attractions. The last one, if you don't quit because you're too scared, is rathering shocking!

Last night, four of my friends and I drove the 1.5 hour drive from Milwaukee to Neenah to visit the Burial Chamber Haunted House Complex. For years I had been looking on the Haunted Wisconsin website and eying this event (the reviews, videos, and photos looked great!), but the distance was always a bit of an issue. All that I can say now is that I am so happy that we made the trip!

Let me first say that I am an avid horror fan--I watch scary movies year-round and always visit one or two haunted houses each year. Basically, it takes a lot to scare me or to put me on edge. My four friends and I (we are all between 18 and 21 years old) are really hard to impress when it comes to haunted houses; we've been to many throughout southeastern Wisconsin, so we can tell which ones are good and worth the money...and which ones are not. I can say without a doubt that the Burial Chamber is amazing and that it is hands-down the best haunted house that I've ever been to!!!

When we got off the freeway, we saw the Burial Chamber right away because of the large spotlights that were being shone in the sky. There was plenty of parking right in front of the haunted house, even on a busy Friday night. We waited in line to buy our tickets (the line moved at a good pace), and the five of us all bought the $40 VIP fast pass (instead of the normal $30 pass). Those extra ten dollars were well-spent, and we were able to skip right to the front of the line for all three haunted houses! I am convinced that it saved us several hours of standing in line, and I highly recommend that anyone who visits the Burial Chamber buys the fast pass. All of us agreed that it was definitely worth the money, and we were really surprised that so few people actually took advantage of buying the pass. (The haunt was a good value overall--realistically, without the fast pass, each house was $10, and with the pass, each house was about $13). For those who did wait in lines, there were a couple large TV screens showing weird Halloween-type videos. There were also line actors that did a great job of startling us, even though we weren't standing in line.

Everything was very organized and seemed to run very smoothly. There was one thing that I thought would be an issue for me--groups of about ten people were sent through the house at a time. Normally I would say "that's way too many! Only the people in front are going to get scared!" However, this was NOT the case. Actors did an extremely effective job of targeting people in the front, middle, and back of the line. Also, the corridors for the Adrenaline and Insanity haunted houses were quite narrow and had a lot of turns and other obstructions, so there was always a surprise no matter where you were standing in line. (I went to a "haunted woods" once that was literally a train of people walking, and that was not surprising or scary at all because you clearly saw what was coming--thankfully, this does NOT describe the experience of the Burial Chamber at all!).

All three of the haunted houses were great and really unique! Adrenaline made me jump a lot with loud noises and actors that came out of unexpected places. Insanity was really unnerving and had a lot of unique rooms and different types of terrain to walk on, which put me on edge (not to mention clowns, which one of my friends is terrified of). Phobia was a haunted woods with a really creepy atmosphere and with actors that came at you from literally all angles. Overall, all three of the haunted houses were very long, well over 20 minutes per house!

(On a side note: one of my friends lost her phone in the first haunted house, but the workers at the Burial Chamber were very helpful, found it almost immediately, and returned it to us right away.)

Had an awesome time! The owners know how to put together a great haunted house. Wait time was low and there was line entertainment. The rooms had alot of details and the actors seemed like real monsters! Well worth the money and time to check it out. You won't be disappointed.

The haunted house was decent. It was far from the best, but worth the money. I wouldn't suggest the fast pass. Unless you know the girl at the door. Then, just tell her how many you have and she will let you jump. We got cut off a few times because of it. Other than that, I would recommend it.

I love haunted houses and didn't even know this one was just down the street from me! The characters were great staying in character the entire time. As I walked through this haunted house it was apparent that they spent a lot of time with the details...loved all the props! Awesome job..line went quick...warm clothes for sale if you're cold while waiting..as well as some thriller to watch on the big screen while waiting.

This haunted house was awesome!!! The best I have ever been to, right in my back yard. I for sure must see!

What an event! It was awesome! They new black out haunt was amazing. They messed with my groups head and seriously made a female in our group quit right away. It was rather shocking, pun intended. It was awesome. A must see event every year.

Just came last Saturday and I loved it! That scarecrow and the people in the asylum freaked me out. The line took forever, but definitely worth the wait.☺️
