Monster Mayhem has returned for its 5th season in 2012 and once again it promises to be definitely unlike any other Halloween attraction you'll find this year. As was the case last year, Monster Mayhem is by far the most fun I've ever had at a haunt.
Taking participation to a whole new level Monster Mayhem not only allows you to roam freely through rooms and hallways it also allows you to hunt and be hunted by the creatures lurking around the maze of rooms. Be warned! If you and your fellow teammates don't watch each other's backs the zombies at Mayhem will turn you into Zombie Chow!
Unlike other haunts this attraction offers fun for all ages...kids, parents and grandparents alike. Kids will most certainly enjoy hunting the creatures (…as well as their parents if they happen to be placed on opposite teams….) and adults will most certainly enjoy the creatures who have a habit of popping up and scaring you when you least expect them to! Not to mention, if you appreciate special effects (…as I do…) Monster Mayhem has some of the best homemade effects I've ever seen.
While Monster Mayhem may not be the scariest haunt you visit this year it will make a strong case for being the most fun haunted attraction you attend this year!
Signage / Visibility / Location
Monster Mayhem has NOT moved…its still on the corner of 51st and Howard…but its location looks different from last year. Paulo's Pizza / Pub has gone out of business so the building appeared to be dark when arrived. The haunt is still located in the basement and the entrance can be found around the back of the building. (Parking along the south end of the building will make finding the haunt easier.) There are signs for the haunt but they're not obvious.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Indoor waiting area with tables, chairs, refreshments and arcade games available…as well as live video of the Mayhem that awaits you.
Actors' Performance
There weren't a lot of actors involved when I attended (opening weekend) but the ones I interacted with did a superb job of getting me involved in the fun.
Sets Scenes / Props / FX
These guys really have a keen eye for technology. If you're into techno props you'll enjoy the sets at Monster Mayhem.
Length
Beginning to end my adventure lasted about 15 minutes which included a little setup instructional time to get us operational.
Crowd Control
This the fifth year I've visited this haunt and I've never experienced any crowd control concerns.
Most Memorable Moment
Chasing monsters and then being chased by others...a very entertaining change of pace!
If you enjoy participating in your Halloween adventures you definitely need to checkout Monster Mayhem. I've seriously never had more fun at a haunt. Fun for all ages and for the who family!
