Summary
This is a TOP CLASS haunt. We've seen many haunts and we had to bow down to this one - this is worth a drive if you have to get to it from a-ways. As fellow haunters (with a haunt that isn't open this year), we have to concede - this is one of the best we've ever seen. The VIP tickets are worth the price - no waiting, free coffee/cocoa/bonfire VIP area w/goodie bags and a top-notch haunt experience.

Overall an awesome haunt, with energetic creatures coming at you from unexpected places. Wanted to see more of the actors costumes/makeup but it was a bit too dark and foggy at times - when they get close up (and they will) you can see that a bit better.

Overall, we have been fans of this haunt, because of some of it's home-grown unique touches. The length of the attraction seemed to be longer than we expected and were pleased with that! We missed the rope/plank bridge from the years before and wished for a finale'... actors for the most part were enthusiastic except for a couple... the haunt had somewhat of an anti-climactic ending.

Pretty good - ask to go in small groups for a better scare(groups less than 5).

For their first year, they did a good job. LOVED the music (I have many of the tracks at home!). Loved the tunnel w/the little surprises under the glass and the flying guy.

The haunt seemed longer than last year! The maze was a great addition. Good sets/scenes, actors just need to stop shrieking/screaming in people's ears and start growling or coming up with clever/scary lines to say to patrons.

Summary
Overall one of the best I've seen this year! Loved the train! Costumes rocked... sets were THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN!!!! The actors that were interactive were excellent.
Honest and constructive criticism: More actors need to be more interactive... several just stood there and we saw 2 talking to other actors as we walked by. The LINES: waiting in 3 lines was a bit much... 3 lines: one for tickets (which did move well), one for the train (moved ok) and one for the house (took forever). The waiting would not have been so bad if the line between the train and the house had line entertainment with live actors (maybe having ghouls abduct a 'planted guest' in the lines?)... and of course ghouls scaring line guests Lastly, the parking needed to be more organized - it was parking lot anarchy. The attendant basically told us that there was none, and that we shuold try another night?!?! (but we were from out of town, and that wasn't an option as we were anxious to see this house!). As the attendant told us this we saw an area about 100 feet behind him not being used that could easliy park 40 cars if it was organized better.

We found out the owner was age 19/20. Very impressive for someone that age to pull off a haunt like this! I've seen many by older and more experienced people that were disappointing and this was better than expected. Just need MORE crazy interactive actors... and it can really rock.

Actors need to work on timing... just don't scare the middle and end of the group. Makeup and costumes were great and some of the scenes/obstacles you must manuever through are very unique and cool. One thing we missed was the big finale from last year which ROCKED - this year's ending was very anti-climatic... the end was disappointing after the great finale that they had in 2002.

Summary
We were a group of 2 couples in our late 20's, they paired us up with a mom and 5 kids (ages 5-7) and a couple teenage girls - bad move. I became a "mom" to 2 of the poor little ones who latched onto my legs and now need therapy. We couldn't enjoy the haunt because I was to busy "protecting" these poor kids (who aren't even mine). The length of the event rocked - worth the money, good scenes. Actors just need to work on timing a little bit better... there were parts when we didn't have the kids with us and they still didn't scare us... they just stood there.

Good acting, the building itself gives it a great atmosphere. Need to tell the monsters to not take their breaks in full view of the patrons... as we left there were about 6-10 actors outside right at the exit talking about what they were doing tonight after the haunt.

Very clever rooms that were scary, unique "Thriller" scene which I've never seen before and very cute. Be careful of some of the floors before the end - they are uneven (and not meant to be) and a few of us almost tripped before the "special exit." Well done for high schoolers - alot better than we expected - good job!

Had a guide taking you through - could have done without - like self tours better...but without a guide it would have been hard to know where to go. Overall a good haunt for a very low and reasonable price - all goes to charity!

I GOT SCARED! Liked the ride out to woods.
We thought/heard it was going to be a ride deeper in the woods with people scaring you on the hayride, then you get dropped deeper in the woods and would have to find your way out and basically get "chased" out - which would have been cool...so we got something different than what we expected... would have been more fun if you had people running after you...but we liked this just the same - especially the finale - VERY COOL and UNIQUE! WAY TO GO! We want to come back again with friends!

ACTORS ROCKED - Best acting our group seen this season...BUT... would have been better with scarier surroundings - darker lighting, we were put in one room for a little while for no reason and just sat in there - lights on, not scary. Ambulance was funny - not scary. Would have been scary if lights came at you in dark. Overall lighting needs to be spookier.

One major problem: Groups were followed by employee/guides. MANY were directly behind us talking the whole time - which took ALOT away from the whole experience - and took away from the actors performaces which were great - non costumed guides/employees shouldn't follow so close, and should keep chatter down.

Scare factor is beyond the number 5 "Terrifying" rating here - it was one of the best I have seen - the alien and robot scene completely got us!

Great idea to have haunted woods before house but the Chainsaw guy couldn't get his chainsaw started. ALOT of actors timings were off and one room was broken - the crazy dentist was trying to scare us as a bunch of security guys were trying to fix something... maybe we hit it on a night when stuff was breaking down... ending was anticlimatic. Would have been better if things were working. They did do a great job of keeping groups seperate - felt like the show was just for our group - we felt alone in the house...kudos for that!

LOVED THE LAST ROOM - AWESOME! Funny, VERY interactive, and scary all at the same time - an EXCELLENT finale!
The unusual way you enter before you actually go through the house was unique, and unusual - but the windows overlooking it from the waiting area ruins the "surprise" so you know where you'll be headed first... should have blocked out windows in waiting area. be careful when you "Step down" from it - quite a large step - 2 of us almost fell.
Also, alot of actors where hanging out around and in the waiting area before the show began - took away from the affect - alot were peeking in at the waiting lines.

Would have liked more interactive acting and lengthen the attraction. The concessions, ticket sellers/takers, and survey ladies at the end were very sweet - very nice... glad to see they are asking the public what we think. Just needs to be longer, more interactive, and scarier actors. We're glad the proceeds go to charity...because most of our group thought it was too expensive for the total package.

Loved the "little monsters" - funny. Though the stunt show was great, we thought more of a halloween/horror theme would have helped... or to set up a theme/story of the haunted house. We had a great time!
PS: Do not turn right after the jail - we accidentally walked into the audio room - we told them they needed a door there... so be sure to hang a left instead!
