2011 The Morgue (PERMANENTLY CLOSED) Event Reviews

It was great we got scared before we even entered the woods....I don't scare easy and they got me 4 times in the woods... the bonfire was great the band was great and no lines you just hang out for your number to be called, the actors were adults who did a great job...my group was chased around the bonfire. the consessions tasted great real food not crap like most i've had. the house was awesome ....we got more then we paid for I will return every year. BUT note your gps will take you to the middle of nowhere so follow the directions on the website.

I am not sure what happened the night I visited, as I had heard good things from others about this haunted house. Upon entering this event, you get channeled through a haunted woods. The path is dark and has the potential to be scary. Unfortunately, there was only one actor on the entire thing.

The wait by the bonfire to get into the haunted house was not more than 20 or 25 minutes, which was nice. The haunted house itself uses several floors of an old school building and does have a pretty extensive set. Unfortunately, there were probably only about 5 or 6 actors in the entire thing (which took probably 15 to 20 minutes to walk through.

There were were small areas to the side of the mazes inside the house where it was evident that actors should have been hiding but no one was in 90 percent of them.

Lots of loud sound effects throughout the house, some scary, others more just a nuisance. They did not make up for the lack of actors, though.

At the end there is a slide down three stories into a haunted old school bus. It was probably one of the better parts of the house, but the slide is not waxed enough or something and you have to push yourself to keep going once you get about half way down. It has potential though.

For many years, the Morgue has been one of my favorite local haunts. From the walk in the woods, to the wait area, to the Morgue itself... I lov it all! It's been two years since I've attended, so I was very excited to visit once again.

I have to be honest and say that the woods let me down this year. There were only two 'monsters' in the woods, and both were texting on their phones. ZZZZZzzzz. The woods really help set the mood for the rest of the night, so this was a let-down. To be fair, I know that the Morgue relies on volunteers, and it's a different group every night. I also noticed there were black lights in several places in the woods. To me personally, this took away from the scary walk in the dark.

When you go to the Morgue, be prepared to wait a good hour or two. This haunt has always had great 'word of mouth' press going for it, and there are always big crowds there. The wait area is done EXTREMELY well; it's the best outside wait area in Wisconsin! A huge bonfire that they always keep roaring big, a very good concession stand, videos or a movie playing on a big screen, and lots of space to move around. They normally will have some actors lurking around getting a few screams before the fun really starts.

Since I've been in it last, they have changed up the Morgue quite a bit. But one thing that hasn't changed is the Morgue witch. She's always there at the entrance, every year, greeting you with her pale face and dead eyes. She's basically the mascot from hell! When she meets you at the door, it's like coming home!

I won't give away any of the fun inside the Morgue, but it will not disappoint. Another solid year from the underdogs that always have been the best kept secret in the area. Do yourself a favor and check it out. A lot of fun at a great price!
