Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
Easy to find. Lots of people lined up outside. Cant miss the concession carts outside.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Diverse group of fun individuals. A few line jumpers.
Length
30 minutes.
Actors' Performance
Weak. There were very few actors inside, even less outside. Part of the experience has to do with what you encounter before you get inside. There was a guy walking around with a Jason mask on, but was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. Definately not entertaining at all.

Summary
There is a lot of potential here, but not for this year's event. Members of my group missed a lot of the effects due to a poor use of lighting in some areas.

Signage / Visibility / Location
There was a sign on each side of the building and the line was set up with ropes and buckets.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There were quite a few different creatures walking up and down the line, the skull faced guy with the spikes got me the worst.
Length
Our wait time in line was like 10 minutes and it took about 15 minutes to go through.
Actors' Performance
EXCELLENT!! I enjoyed every minute of it and did not know what to expect. The make-up was good and the masks were very scary. The clowns were the worst, I screamed all the way through the room they were in.

Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
The location was visible because of the line of people waiting.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
No entertainment, just a roped off area for the line. Occasional ghouls walking by.
Length
Our wait was about 35 minutes. If it's cold (which it was), you can park near and switch off members of the group sitting in the car (we did not).
Actors' Performance
The actors did a good job of being scary, coming up behind you from within the maze when you were not expecting it, and making you nervous to pass them.

Summary
Our group had a 10 and 12 year old boy in it, and they handled the scariness pretty well.

Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
There was a small sign, but the person that was driving had been there before, so we didn't get lost.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was good conversation in the waiting line, but no scares or actors.
Length
The wait was fairly short 10-15 minutes, and I am not sure how long the house was. It was a good length. It didn't seem very short or too long.
Actors' Performance
There were several actors in the house, but most of them didn't really seem to be getting into it. There was one girl that got our whole group very good. Her make-up was excellent and she was very creepy. There were two actors with leaf blowers, both got the startle scare. The first one held the blower in my face though, and that kicked up all kinds of dust into my face and eyes. I think he thought I would be more scared if he held it there longer, but that was just annoying.

Summary
I liked the disorientation that happens in the house. I do have a few sugesstions though. The doors that patrons need to pass though should be marked a little better in the house. Some of them are marked, and others not. Sometimes we didn't know if we were going the right way, since there are also emergency exits in the house. Also, there is a setting with a matress or springy type floor. I liked the change in the texture, but even though I was wearing good boots, I fell because the springs are so old. On those lines, the last decline before leaving the house was very slippery, and there was an actor that jumped out to scare me, but I almost slide into him. I wasn't scared there, I was tring not to knock over my group.
Overall, I need to say that I had a great time, and I enjoyed the house. My sugesstions were just that. I would reccomend anyone to go. :)

Signage / Visibility / Location
The line on the street was pretty obvious and there was a big sign at the top of the building! There was also a concession stand with a bloody bride showing the way!! Not hard at all to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was a pretty big line. The creepy chick at the concession booth would just glare at us and point her knife around at people and when we would turn to see where she was pointing, the grim reeper was right on us. Freaked us all out.
Length
We waited in line for about a half hour which wasn't bad and we were in the haunted house for I'd say 15-20min. Longer than I expected. It was a lot of fun.
Actors' Performance
The guy in the lab was crazy!! He was throwing stuff around the room and then the lights went out and all we heard was this saw and when the lights went back on he was standing in our group and chased half of us out of the room. It was awesome. Overall every room we went into had something cool to see or creature lurking. My wife did not like the clowns though. They really got her good!!
Appropriate For
Not for kids
Summary
Great job. Go to this haunted house. You won't be disappointed!!

Signage / Visibility / Location
There was a sign on the building and by the front door. They also add a line so it was pretty easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was a Reaper looking guy that came out of the alley and right before we went in Michael Myers came from the other side. There was a girl in front of us who was deathly afraid of Michael and she didn't see him coming until he was right behind her. When she turned around she screamed and fell to the ground and just kept screaming until he finally left. She almost didn't go in.
Length
We waited for about 15min. and were in there for about 15 min.
Actors' Performance
Almost every room we went into had someone who jumped out at you. Just when we focused on one thing - BAM someone would jump out from a completely different area. The CLOWNS rock and I hate clowns. They got us real good!!

Summary
I definitely recommend this haunt. We had a great time. We will try to get back this season!!!!

Easy to find

I think it took about 20-25 mins to walk thru
Actors' Performance
Being opening nite, several actors were not ready and into the mood as of yet, but I'm sure by now its better. Opening weekend of any house is usually never the best nite.

Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
It is on a pretty busy street and can be easily missed ... they do have a sign out front, but it is among a lot of other store front buildings. Parking WILL be a pain on busy nights!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was no entertainment, except for watching drunk people honk their horns up and down the street!
Length
No one really in the halloween mood yet, took us about 10 minutes to get in. Took about 10 minutes to go through the whole haunted house at a very slow rate.
Actors' Performance
There really weren't many actors, and then weren't very scary. There probably was about 3 "surprise" scares.

Summary
Lots of dark passage ways to go through, our lead kept walking into walls. I think the best thing about this haunted house is the location, its right in Milwaukee so those of us from the area that are in the mood for a little enterntainment and don't want to drive so far ... Mars is a good option.
