Signage / Visibility / Location
Wonderful, even though i am not a resident of the place i found it quite easily, the big orange banner, and the Van with A Theater Of Lost Souls was easy enough to spot, the location itself is creepy, and did i mention great parking!?
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
OK, couldve been darker, but than again you dont want it to dark, you might trip over the ropes in the lobby, but it was nice to have an indoor waiting room.
Most Unique
THE MOST UNIQUE was well i think the whole thing, i mean your in a historic Haunted and Recorded building, what more could you want? and i think the actual actors had some unique talents.
Actors' Performance
B-ish, some were great, some didnt do so well, i really dont want to point fingers at the actors because I know its the second year and good talent is hard to come by, especially in Wisconsin, but i will say the Clown, the Bone Zombie with the top hat, The Kitchen man, the Little Girl 'Alice' was her name i think, and the monster closet know what they are doing, and perfomed flawlessly. But for those who didnt do so well, I suggest work with the haunt runner about what you do, just running up to someone with knives and screaming wont work, talk to paid customers.
Appropriate For
15+
Summary
Wow for comments, I suggest moving some people around, tweek the roles, you might find someone better suited for the position. I know if you can spread out the actors with great talent, you'll off balanced the ones who dont understand what they are doing, I know its easy to get confused when there is a group of arrogent people walking through and all they do is be sarcastic, those things happen. But you need to be mean back, or just dont deal with them at all, have them get out as fast as possible, another thing! Spread the Scare throughout the group, dont just concentrate on one person. you never know the big muscle man may be on the brink of wetting himself, :D but besides those comments, i really have to say, i will attend this haunt again within the upcoming week. Good Job Guys for a second yearer. I loved it!

Signage / Visibility / Location
Mapquest got us there fine and the line outside made us figure out this was the place.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We had VIP tickets (recommended because the wait a bit long. We didn't see creatures scaring folks in-line, but the place is allegedly really haunted and they had a video with actual paranormal voices that were recorded in the building.
Most Unique
The building itself. It's an authentic historical building - and you feel like you are in Disney's haunted mansion from the very moment you step foot in the lobby.
Actors' Performance
Very few we caught off-guard/not into it creatures-in-training, but the greater majority were intense, and a few even made my husband jump! We loved the clown, doll-room gal, and scary doc.
Appropriate For
10 and up.
Summary
Go with VIP tickets. They get you in fast, past the long lines!

Signage / Visibility / Location
I was sort of familiar to the city so it was okay to find-- LOOK for signs for the Opera House, NOT Lost Souls!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We had about a 20 min wate OUTSIDE and then another 30 minute inside, THE LINE Was Huge when we exited the house though!
Most Unique
The doll room was my favorite. Before going to this house READ the website about the 'real' hauntings that have occured here.
Actors' Performance
Average at best.
Appropriate For
over 12- no problem,
Summary
I wished we could spend more time in the actual theatre. There is a place where you have to crawl- the 'sheet' for a roof caved down on our group. Monsters have troubles SPREADING THE SCARE... I was the last one in the group of 8 and missed ALMOST everything.

We knew where we were going so it wasn't a problem. If you didn't, it might not be easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Some good scares from a couple of monsters. The video could be on a bigger screen cuz it was hard to see or hear. We were guessing what it was talking about. Even when right up to the TV it was hard to hear.
Most Unique
Alot of very unique and good ideas. Lots of fun!
Actors' Performance
Great costumes and performances

Signage / Visibility / Location
Ok, could have used more signs on the street lamps though, the banner was a nice touch, only if you could see it before you were right there! (~_~)
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Awesome, Guy hoping around upstairs along with little girl, doubled teamed this Visitor who was panicking, she looked like a quitter at the start, i think they made her quit, Though i missed the hopper where did he go? he disappeared into the haunt and i didnt see him again?
Most Unique
The most Unique places of the haunt, wow where to begin, I think that the waiting line was unique with the actors, I think that if they dont already do so, they should go into the line once ever hour or so to stir the crowd up into a frenzy, The noise/air thing was Brilliant i would have never expected that where it was, and the doctors office, or meat locker thing, Loved it, i dont see how you people got soaked, It was a mist, not a fire hose.
Actors' Performance
some shined, some failed, I think the ones that stood out in my mind, were the Hopper, the Little Girl, The Clown >.> i hate clowns, The devil sailsmen, And those two zombies in that hallway, seriously they know what they are doing in this haunted house.
Appropriate For
16+
Summary
Well, comments, I think that the guy after the doctor with the chainsaw, he didnt look threatning enough, his build is a little off, maybe if you get a larger person to fill in the role it might work better, But besides that, I really did not have a problem with the haunt, I will seriously give this place Props on their design, this seemed like it took some time and effort, Good job guys Keep at it!

Signage / Visibility / Location
Not good. We found it, because a big theatre is hard to miss, but there were not many signs, if any.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The lobby was pretty cool, they had some actors roaming around, and the decor was very ornate.
Most Unique
The location, the opera house was a cool location.
Actors' Performance
The actors seemed rehearsed, but they really didn't flow well. None of the actors really impressed me all that much. Except the little girl in the lobby. She was very good, very scary, and adorable.
Appropriate For
any
Summary
I left feeling very disappointed, in fact I thought I went out some sort of early exit door. The whole thing was really short. Some actors even completely went out of character and started laughing. We also had a camera guy infront of us filming a promo or something, and that totally messed up the whole thing, because the actors were in the middle of their rehearsed lines when we entered a room. I thought that was totally unprofessional. Also, many of the actors were standing around and talking when we entered the rooms, then they realized we were there and scattered, that really made it hard to suspend reality. I thought with the really unique setting they could have done a lot more. I wonder who rates their "Scare Factor" in the details page, because this was not very high. It wasn't awful, but I was extremely disappointed.

Signage / Visibility / Location
I knew where it was, however, it might be kinda hard to find if you did not know. I talked to the lady in the box office and she said they will be putting a big banner out this week so that should help.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Crazy guy crawling around on floor and a video of ghosts and interviews with the staff.
Most Unique
The location really did give off a great vibe. I love this location for a haunted house. I also loved the vampire tunnel and the evil clown. I hate clowns! Loved the snake, and I can not tell wht the other reviewer was talking about, we did not get soaked from the snake.
Actors' Performance
8-10. Some of the actors were unreal. The Doctor freaked out my friends and the girl vampire in the vampire room scared the crap out of me. I was not expecting that one. Make up on most of the actors was great!
Appropriate For
I would say 12 and above. I was scared anyway!
Summary
I really can tell they went through a lot of improvement this year. I went last year and it rocked. this year is a lot better! We might go again cause it was so cool. If you are a person that likes pretty sets and stuff go somewhere else. If you like to get scared, go to this one. Can't wait to see what they do next year!

Signage / Visibility / Location
Not very noticable if you know were you are going in oshkosh its easy to find.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The Theater it self gets you in the spooky mood like something strange is going to happen. The only entertainment really is a video of ghost sightings and storys of ghost that were seen in the theater.
Most Unique
A prop that sprays a mist of water on you. I was not very apreciative of getting wet by the prop but it was unique.
Actors' Performance
Mediocre only three people made an impression and that is becouse they were entertaing to watch. I was not scared once by any of the actors.

Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
There really was no signage accept a small folding sign that said "haunted house" on the side walk. Personally I beleive it may have been hard to find if I wasnt aware where the grand opera house was located.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area was very attractive (being such an old theatre) the lobby being restored as well as the whole theatre is amazing. However there was NO line entertainment. They had a small tv playing a video of ghost pictures and such to set the mood I guess.
Most Unique
The bulding itself.
Actors' Performance
Three actors Stood out to me at this haunt as "OUTSTANDING" The doctor (very humerous and whitty) The woman with the babies and the girl yelling "boo roar and hiss arnt scary" All the other actors broke character multiple times as well as seemed quite "rehearsed"
Appropriate For
6 & up
Summary
I beleive it was a very entertaining haunt for the time we were inside. I also feel there was a lot of "WASTED SPACE" but can understand being their second year. From last year.. This haunt has deffinatly improved but I think it still has a long way to go until it truely is scary. The only scare I really endured was the fact that the building is really haunted. But thats been known for years. Good job guys!
