I read the overview of this haunt the night I was going to go, and it was slightly misleading. The attraction gives all the pricing and dates, however, the times are very vague. "Starts @ 7PM and goes until all haunters have been served."

In my experience, almost all attractions are packed and sell tickets until either 10,11, or sometimes midnight. The attraction will serve all ticket holders.

We arrived around 11:00 because we thought this attraction would still be going. There were no signs leading us there, no lights to guide us just an address and a bunch of cars parked. We got out of the car and it was like a ghost town (no pun intended). There was, however, music and lights coming from one of the buildings. Upon peeking through the glass doors it looked like a costume party. I grabbed my phone and looked at the listing again online, and it mentioned nothing about a costume party.

We asked one of the people who stepped outside where the house(s) were. We were told that they were closed for the night and they closed at 9 and 10 respectively. This was the cast party.

After purchasing your tickets, you can wait in the gymnasium with plenty of snacks and soda available. The wait is anywhere from 1 to 2 1/2 hours. The event provided minimal entertainment during the wait (old b&w movies and really bad music). It really couldn't hurt to dim the lights in the gym.

The house has some really great sets and some awesome effects. I couldn't believe how good some of the setups were. The pace of the house is really well controlled. Instead of walking through the house wondering if you are going too fast or too slow, they take that out of the equation entirely. There were a few times (being in the lead position) of running into walls or doors that were locked and not knowing if and where to proceed.

There were some chances for some really great scares. There were many creepy moments as well as some "what's going to happen next?" moments.

Unfortunately, poor acting and voice-over lip syncing were the complete downfall for this house. Maybe it was because it was getting late, but some of the "actors" were terrible. It felt like they gave up their characters long before we bought our tickets.

This was definitely a great experience. I drove from Milwaukee to see what all the hype was about. I met with some friends, and we pretty much just hung out in the parking lot by the cars and sent a "scout" every 15-30 minutes to go check on the status of the number calling for the line.

When it finally came time for us to mosey into the waiting area, I was really getting into the choice of music. This definitely gave you an adrenaline booster just before heading in.

If I had a choice, I would have preferred a smaller group, so all the people had a fair shot at being scared. I worked for a haunted attraction for 6 years, so I was, of course, dead last. I enjoyed a lot of the scenes, and the music throughout. In a group of 8 or 10, usually the scare is done by the time the last 2-4 people come into the scene

I agree with some of the other reviews, stating that you didn't sense any of the other scares ahead of you, but there was one. Even with the sense of not knowing what's coming, each scene was doomed to a single scare (actor or animatronics). There seemed to be a few too many "dead zones" (pardon the pun). I'm guessing they were attempting to build suspense, or maybe they ran out of room in the floor plan, but I got a little bored. One effect or actor per scene really isn't going to cut it

I was a little disappointed with this attraction. While we were waiting for our number to be called, there were a few actors that were interacting with the guests. This is great, if the actors are able to entertain the guests in some way. Now the house.

The house seemed a bit short. Each of the scares were pretty predictable. The layout was not that great. It had some neat concepts, but the rooms didn't flow with each other. With wide hallways and poor layout, you could pretty much tell what was coming. There were some really entertaining actors, but not enough to carry the load.
