2015 The Haunted Barn Stoughton (PERMANENTLY CLOSED) Event Reviews

This haunt was a pleasant surprise. Having attended this haunt back in 2013 on a cold night, my group wasn't too excited to revisit the Haunted Barn. With a new look and feel, not to mention the concession area, we were all impressed with updates and scare factors. There were items from the previous setup that were missed, (e.g. the rigged port-john). The haunt had some flow issues at the end of the line (near the fortune teller) where we were routed down dead-ends and at one point half our our group was outside the haunt flow and behind the scene.

Last night I had the pleasure of going through The Haunted Barn along with my son and daughter. All three of us being former workers of the haunt from years past, we had an idea of what to expect, but they definitely took it to the next level.!!! Everything from the design, originality, top notch actors, parking lot atttendents,concessions and of course as always their hospitality was above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a haunt to attend should check this out. They will not disappoint !!!!

I am so happy The Haunted Barn is back! And honestly they are better than ever. The actors were fantastic and had excellent timing - the sets were well planned and assisted in building the suspense of "what's around the next corner"! Well worth the admission price!

This place was fun. The actors really got into it and was really surprised that the quality of the props was good. While waiting the Beetlejuice character came and since I use a cane asked if I needed anything or I could sit and he'd come get me, that was the first time anyplace has done that. As a matter of fact the Waukesha haunt wouldn't let me go through with it 4 or 5 years ago. It wasn't the biggest but they knew how to work it so you had scares had fun and didn't run into another group all things the other Stoughton haunt could learn from them. I really enjoyed it and hope they are able to setup again next year I will definitely Italy come back if the do.

I thought this place was great. I was ducking in fear. I would definitely go again. :DD

Welcome back! And thank you so much! As a balloon artist and family entertainer, I recognize great care and attention to detail. My satisfaction was well exceeded. Waiting in line their is a sledge hammer wielding cyborg with costume that is out of this world. He pounded fear into many patrons, not to mention a very good Beetlejuice impersonator. Each person/character took their role to the extreme with tremendous care and desire to frighten or creep you out. I must say each person put their heart and soul into their role. Some maybe were not acting or were they??? You will have to decide. Also great detail to each area and two a-maze-ing mazes with gruesome characters. The monsters in the maze maybe helpful and may not be helpful Please stop by the fortune teller with terrific old country accent and scary how true her fortune telling skills. Another wonderful part was the location of many scares are unexpected and came from everywhere. Beware the walls, ceiling, and floors are alive! You can also dine from a nearby concession area and watch the gruesome ghouls terrify waiting patrons. I enjoyed the show with a hot dog and soda. Plus many other treats.

I came early and the wait time was 10 to 15 minutes. This seemed much shorter with the cyborg, Beetlejuice, and other gruesome ghouls un-nerving and frightening us. The walk thru was about 30 minutes.

I give this place 5 stars they really do a good job. Its scary and worth the trip to see. I would go back again. They keep halloween alive.

They truly are back from the dead. What an awesome job. Pro ably the best trip I have ever had to the barn in about a decade of attending minus last year of course. They should be proud actors were on point and set work was great. JJO was there doing some broadcast with Johnny Danger and giving away some prizes. They had great on line deals that made this haunt extremely affordable. Congradulatios to the staff at the barn for a wonderful job.

I appreciate how much work goes into these things, and it's sometimes difficult to make things better every year.
That said, I felt this fell a little short comparatively to the past. They wanted to keep the haunt confined to the main building only, which is fine, but took only 15 minutes to get through. Just not worth the $18 admission.
The actors were fine but missed the memo on a proper scare. Never jump out in front of the first person in a group! Always come from the sides or back, it makes the scare better and startles the whole group. Also, find something better to scream than "get out!" It gets old.
Overall, decent haunt for the size, some good props and scare zones, but overall just not worth the high admission price.

One of the best haunted houses I have been to! There was person around every corner, which made it so much fun and scary. Even though it did not take the long to get through, it was worth the money because there were so many people scaring you.

It was a decent haunted house. Not worth $18 dollars admission. My price point would be $10. I would not go back unless it was cheaper.

It was amazing! Had a fun time. Missed it. Been here a few times years previous and am so glad it is back!!! Hope to be here again next year!

A most excellent haunt! One of the best haunts I've ever been to, and I've attended and worked several. Even though these guys are scaled back size-wise from their 2013 closing year, they pack so much energy and visual stimuli into each and every scene, that you don't miss what isn't there. The actors are "on", and work well with each other and victims alike. The Fortune Teller was lovely, and I really liked the various mazes and confusing areas. This was not a haunt where I felt I was being physically mauled, physical contact is kept to a minimum, and most of it felt accidental. Recurring characters throughout the haunt provide a sense of continuity as well as confusion and disorientation. So many of the scenes were so well done, and between the amazing details and the intense acting (acting? Were they? Or was it real ...?), I found that it was difficult to leave an area simply because I felt I hadn't seen everything in it. Spacing seemed like it was well handled, so that groups didn't tend to run into each other. They did allow my husband and I to go through together alone, rather than putting us with other strangers. Great haunt, will definitely return!!

Visited on the first weekend it was open, had a ton of fun! The costumes were pretty sweet and the actors did a good job, found what freaked you out sand worked of it. Really dug the fortune teller part, she nailed it, it was kinda psychological which you don't get at a lot of haunted houses. It was kinda a longer haunt too which is cool, more bang for your buck. All in all I'd recommend visiting, it was worth the drive.
