Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Pretty easy to find with the signs and directions off the website.

Good! You could tell that there were some people that were sick of repeating their long lines, but they still did.

Appropriate For

Teens and up

Summary

A few of the rooms weren't ready for us... the first one opened the door saw us and quick shut the door and the mad scientist and the "experiment" were sitting on the table talking when we showed up.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Very easy to find with the website's directions and the giant inflatable ghost at the enterance to Fireman's Park.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

By the time we got there, about 35 minutes. Not bad.

Length

10 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Most were very good and totally into their roles. A few were unenthusiastic! One cast member had a very, very long line, and you could tell this person was sick of repeating it. But hey, that's the Haunt world!

Appropriate For

12 and up.

Summary

This was all around good fun. The short haunted trail on your way up to the spooky old house is right out of a classic horror movie. The house itself was heavy on scenery and scenarios that were put together very well. Lot's of little details that made this Haunt lots of fun. Not that many dark mazes to trod through.

I gues it could have been a bit scarier, but over all a very worthy Haunt!!!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Sign off main road helped - directions on hauntedwisconsin.com helped and mapquest took us right there from Hubertus.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Had a roaming ghoul - who was funny, witty, told jokes.

Length

10 minutes - could have been longer

Actors' Performance

Some were great some lacked. Witch over couldron and Nuclear waste guy were good. Some stared in your face and hung out behind you/followed you too long and became annoying - wasn't scary... felt like they were waiting for us to be scared?

Appropriate For

10+

Summary

Great idea to have haunted woods before house but the Chainsaw guy couldn't get his chainsaw started. ALOT of actors timings were off and one room was broken - the crazy dentist was trying to scare us as a bunch of security guys were trying to fix something... maybe we hit it on a night when stuff was breaking down... ending was anticlimatic. Would have been better if things were working. They did do a great job of keeping groups seperate - felt like the show was just for our group - we felt alone in the house...kudos for that!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Better than last year. Good bright sign on the street, but be sure to make a right immediately after your turn there.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Not a long wait, but I love the atmosphere of the waiting area. Much better than last year!!

Length

Very good. I loved the outdoor path, and I'm glad it wasn't as muddy as last year (they put down gravel). The house was fantastic, and much better than last year (and I liked it last year).

Actors' Performance

Very good. Everyone stayed in character, and the girls really screamed their heads off.

Appropriate For

15+

Summary

If you didn't like the audiance participation last year, it is more limited this year. It's a great house. Some very cool effects.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Good. There was a bright sign and inflatable ghost at the intersection. The road to the house is very dark so if you're not paying attention to street names you would probably miss it. Just a couple of paper ghosts on the sign to the park. The actual house and waiting area are spooky. The waiting area could have used some Halloween and spooky decorations.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Consession stand.

Length

About 15 minutes including the trail.

Actors' Performance

Better than last year. The vampires on the trail could've thrown in some lines. The "witch" did a great job with her lines.

Appropriate For

Teens & up

Summary

Overall the house was better than last year.

I think it would've been cool if the ticket calling lady (curly hair and glasses) could have been in costume or something.

If you're not into interacting with the ghouls, this probably isn't the best haunt to go to, as they use lots of customer particpation.

Be ready for a bit of crawling and uneven terrain on the trail. High heels and skirts are a definte no-no here.

I really liked the flying whatever that came out of the woods during the trail.

Overall much better than last year but a bit short.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Great signs pointing to the haunted house.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Consessions available.

Length

About 15 minutes including the haunted trail and the haunted house.

Actors' Performance

Good performance from the actors. Could be even better if the actors tried more of a suprise attack than a slow spook (which gets booring after a few seconds).

Appropriate For

Kids and Young Adults. Adults may want to bring some younger people so there is plenty of screaming.

Summary

Great set design. Spooky old house seems like it might be haunted without any help from the actors. The wait system is MUCH better this year.
