Haunted Cornfield at Meadowbrook Pumpkin Farm

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

I did get a little lost on the way there, at my own fault, but when calling, the owner himself provided directions that helped me and my crew get to the grounds. He even checked in with us to make sure we got there ok when we arrived. Thats wonderful service!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

When we got there we were able to go right in! And when there is a wait time, there is a bonfire to wait by as well as a concession stand where they offer hot cocoa and hot apple cider and home made candy apples, and right next to that a venue of pumpkins and different odds and ends for purchase.

Most Unique

I was most thrilled with how detailed the entire set up was, and how detailed the props were. A lot of precision was put into the props and it was amazing. I would love to go through again to see all the hard work and detail put into the props and sets. Each section offered a new world so to speak of design concept and scenery, and it was truely amazing.

Actors' Performance

The live actors did their job quite well! The time it took to get through the corn field was much longer than most haunted attractions, so it provided plenty of frightening opportunities. It was nearly impossible to distinguish displays and props from live actors, and when you did, it was too late! It offered a most chilling experience! The actors's costumes and ability to create a convincing perfomance were truly spectacular.

Summary

I would definitely recommend this, its terrifying and a wonderful experience at the same time. The time going through it seems endless, and for someone who likes to get scared, its perfect!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The signs for the Expo Center were easy and quite visible from the road. The directions from anywhere in the city are nearly idiotproof and the grounds have plenty of pavement parking.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

They do offer concessions, as well as an ATM as they do not accept credit/debit/check purchases for ticket sales or concession sales. The wait goes by fairly quickly even on a busy night, especially if you keep good company. There is also walking entertainment to keep things interesting and moving along. The security and line operators are thorough and keep things going quickly enough so people can get in and get their fright on!

Most Unique

For me, the entire thing was unique, for it offered a haunting story line, as opposed to walking through twists and turns of simply frigtening scenery and props and actors. Having a little more substance for me, made it a more believable and more haunting experience.

Actors' Performance

Morgan's Manor most definitely offers a story line and scenery and prop arrangement I haven't seen before. The creativity in the sets as well as the actors' costumes and their mannerisms went well with the theme of the haunt and provided for a very chilling experience. Their perfomance brought to life the story being recreated; you almost lose sense of reality and sense of time; you feel like you're back when the storyline is taking place. Without giving any of the wonderfully frightful details, I give the actors perfomance and ability to adapt to a haunting story.

Summary

The overall atmosphere is very inviting, even the owner patrolled the grounds making sure everything was in order, and when stopped by me for a brief history behind Morgan's Manor and Morgana's torment, he took the time to tell the story and was humble. You know you're at a great venue when the owner himself walks around making sure you're having a great time!
