2006 Terror on Rural Street Event Reviews

I pretty much said what it all. I loved this Haunt and so did the group I went with. The ONLY drawback was the "bunching". Groups would run into each other. That happens though and it's not unique to this event. Overall, I was very pleased.

It was pretty good,it was scary most of the time except for when we had to stop because we were catching up to the next group, they coulda handled that a little better. But other than that, it was good.

It wasnt as good as it use to be 2 years ago. They closed it down for i think it was a year, i think that they could have done better.. but two years ago it was GREAT!

I liked in a previous year how you had to choose a door out of eight to find your way out!! This year it was just sort of boring.

I have always liked this house and to be quite honest i was frankly: DISAPPOINTED. I didnt get scared once, didnt even feel like i might get scared. It seemed extremely unorganized, there was one monster walkin around the wait area while in the past there has been more. They were pushing groups thru way too quick and we ended up running into the group in front of us therefore allowing the group behind us to catch up. I worked in a haunted house for 2 years and i know how it is not to have time to reset your room before the next group comes. so props to the actors in those rooms for doing their best. there much of a feel of a theme or generalized idea behind the house like usual. All-in-all this house could be scary if they could put it all together, but they need some work. i still have faith

If your child is old enough to watch the movie Hellraiser than they are old enough to visit this haunt. There were many scenes that reminded me of that movie and small children shouldn't be allowed.

My favorite part of the haunt was the size of the haunt -- there were 13 rooms, but my least favorite was the lack of variety in the -- scare actors -- within the haunt. There were too many cloak wearing actors with either face paint or a mask that you can pick up at Walgreens. But with the amount of work that went into the scenes, this was easily over looked. Some of the -- scare actors -- followed you for awhile while staying in character.

Also, for those of you that suffer from coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), I would rate this a 3-clown haunt, meaning there were 3 clowns present.

Additionally, this haunt is not handicap/wheelchair access friendly because there are some tight turns and an area where you have to bend down and almost squeeze through.

All in all, Terror on Rural Street is a yearly favorite of mine that never fails to entertain. From the detail, to the size of the haunt, Terror takes the time in the off-season to prepare a haunt that many will enjoy -- and it shows.

Good misdirection in many scenes, particularly the checkerboard game. Clearly put a lot of time into it again this year; also fairly long haunt, took about 15-20 minutes to get through, I think. Felt like we got our money's worth. Does use some of the same special effects one has come to expect from Terror on Rural Street; I know they're probably very proud of their previous technical accomplishments, but maybe they should give the half-man-speaking-into-a-headphone-set a rest. Although we're still not sure how that works...Also, there is no central theme or storyline holding things together, so some of the rooms seem quite disparate from each other.
