Review

This was our first visit. It was relatively easy to find. They had about a dozen rooms that were all well decorated and staffed. They had good actors that seemed to "get into the scene". Some frights were predictable and short. There were no mazes or very dark spots which can be a bonus or disappointment depending on which you prefer.

Summary

It took us 10 minutes to get through. Seemed a bit pricy for the time we were there. The effects are good and most actors did good, just needed to be a little less predictable. Overall, I think it is pretty good.

Fright Factory

Review

This was the 7th Haunted Attraction we have been to this season. It was the 3rd that had a real chainsaw & the first with other types of saws and tools for scare effects. The setting in an old warehouse with rickety stairs and rusty windows sets the tone well. There was an indoor somewhat heated line that went fairly quickly.
Has a good mix of decorative scenes with a couple black mazes, one very skinny with texture on the walls & a bit of de ja vu. Had a few unique scenes in it like the cobweb room. The scenes seemed to be decorated with a lot of detail.
Most rooms seemed to have a scare in them. Even some of the hallways had scares. Lots of loud noises that scare you in your scene and build anticipation as you hear it in some of the other scenes. Workers were not afraid to get in your face. The voice over the microphone was scary and a bit funny, a unique idea.

Summary

This is a good scare for those looking for that. It was a bit cheaper than a few others we have been too, but the effects were the same.

Review

We got there before the crowd so we were in the first group to go through. We purchased all 3 attractions. I like how they continue you through to the next haunted house when you buy more than one house instead of making you wait in the long line again.
The First 2 haunted houses are very similar. The rooms are pristine and decorated in such a manor you feel like you are in the setting. They do a great job of moving you through the scene so you experience the entire room. The actors keep in character and try to get everyone in the group, not just the screamers. There were some similar sets from last year, but they are good sets. I love the exit, it makes a non claustrophobic person, claustrophobic!

The 3rd house is more for effect than scare. The 3-D paint inside is awesome to say the least! The actors are quick to respond to the friendly banter I made and we had a fun dialogue going on. Only suggestion in the last house was get a real chain saw or none at all. The "toy" chainsaw they had was really lame.

This was Haunted House 3-4-5 for us this season. It took us 30 minutes to go through all 3.

Summary

All 3 are obviously professional Haunted Attractions put together very well. If you are interested in scare only, go to the first 2 if you also care about effects splurge for the 3rd.

Terror on Rural Street

Review

There is a heated waiting area with concessions & actors roaming but as always it is jam-packed. An hour wait for the amount of people there went fast. We try to go here every year and have attended at least 7+ years. This year the scenes were mostly the same as previous years. The actors in the haunt are good, but rather predictable. The rooms are decorated realistically with lots of stuff to look at in each room. However, when you enter a room you look at everything in the room and an actor or two across the room from you and then move to the next scene. They don't get in your face so the scare factor is lower. The actors do stay in character and try to find the most scared in the group and play on that fear.

Summary

This is the 6th Haunted House I have been too this season. If you like effects over scare it is worth it. Don't let the line miss-lead you, it moves pretty quick.
