Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Not incredibly hard to find. There are signs and it is easily located off of I-43.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

A popular attraction was the defecator, which was a video game prop that allows you to scare people going through the house. There was plenty of food and drink to be had. I really liked the waiting room of this house, they have a ticket call system so you don't have to be herded like cattle for the wait. They just call a group of numbers and off you go, so you only get the line treatment for a little while. It gives you some good time to play the "defecator" and chat with friends.

Length

30 min.

Actors' Performance

Perfomance was good. There were some good actors that were in good locations, others we could see in plain sight and it wasn't all too scary.

Summary

Overall it was an enjoyable experience. There were an incredible amount of dark hallways. This to me was more of an annoyance than anything, I don't see the point of walking through a big monsterless dark halway for half of the house time. There were a lot of detailed rooms that served as some good eye candy but some didn't really have the scare that I was expecting. I'm sure I'll see it again next year. Very loud and a good mix of heavy metal and monsters.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was kind of a circus finding your way around the construction. A few signs in better locations would fix those problems.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

It was a Sunday so I would expect a shorter staff than normal so I can understand only having the one monster who was going through the lines.

Length

15 min.

Actors' Performance

As far as the actors go, I was sorry to say I wasn't too pleased. A lot of what I saw was growling. That might scare some people, but I personally (and I think a lot of people would agree with me) was not scared. There were however some monsters in the house that worked very well at what they were doing.

Summary

Excellent house as far as atmosphere goes. There were some very cool props used, most notably, the "impaler" prop. For those of you who don't know, it's about a 10 to 12 ft. monster, I won't give away what he looks like or what he does, but it's very cool to see in action. Lots of very detailed rooms, I don't want to go off on any single room except to say for a majority of the house a lot of effort was put into making this house look like it does. There is a downside to this house though, I wasn't too impressed with the performance of the actors/actresses of the house. There were a lot of people in the beginning of the house who just walked past you and really didn't give half and attempt at a scare. The people who did attempt the scares only got low growls out and most of the people of the house were in plain sight when you walked in. For some constructive criticism, try hiding some more or plan the rooms for better scares. There were lots of unused areas that looked incredible but had little or no scare value at all. I really enjoyed coming to the house. The train is cool and adds a good element to the overall quality of the event. There are lots of really good things in this house. The people in charge of putting this house together have a keen attention to detail. I love that!
