Our group was fairly large and we got the VIP passes so we didn't have to wait which was worth the few dollars more. I was at this event last year and the quality keeps going up, I look forward to seeing what Hauntfest does next year!

A definite must-see. If you miss it, you will regret it, because the haunts were really scary, and really fun. Also, don't forget to scream: it makes everything more fun.

For $1 very family and kid oriented. Path was good to walk on. Guide was always making sure we were doing fine. Other people were around should one need help. Nicely done! Hats off to all that put this together. We came from Green Bay via the Black Crypt. We would do it again next year if they have one.

Guide was good. Trail lasted about 20 minutes. The trail was minimally lit with torches or milk lanterns and kept the trail dark yet you were able to walk nicely. Trail was smooth to walk on. Nicely done. Though hate to say would not travel an hour to see it. We would not go next year unless more areas of fright. This is a very nice 'local' haunt. They did a good job.

Summary
They could have made the trail alittle more 'safe' for walking. Trips on branches and holes were made throughout the trail. A few 'lights' in those areas would have helped. This is the only outdoor haunt that we have tripped so much on. Beer!!!! Saw many actors drinking beer before the start. One was carrying a case around where ever she went. Yes it was in the beginning of the event, but there were customers around. Not a good sight. Also you heard very little screaming from groups after you. You heard them in the beginning area, but not much after that.
Would we go again. No. An hour to get there, mostly walking in the woods. Could have used more actors, or placed others more strategically around. Actors did a good job by those who actually tried to scared us. Some missed us and some props didn't work. Also, was only about a 15/20 minute casual walk (generous)and not the 45 minute terrifying walk.

Summary
I wish the house would've been longer, it seemed so short. It wasn't as scarey as I had hoped either (and I get scared pretty easily). When you first walk into the haunted house I reccomend holding hands. There was 6 of us in a group and the last two got lost 3 times right away and ended up back at the entrance (it was a pitch dark zig zagged room.) Also we intitially went out there with 11 of us in a group and they would only allow a max. of 6 people per group, so keep that in mind.

If I have any complaints, they have already been mentioned in other reviews. The fact that they sent us through in a combined group of 12 was just stupid. I understand wanting to keep the line moving, but 12 people in a group?! Just not good. Other than that, it is a decent haunt. It is worth going to overall, but $10 is just a bit too much for what you get.

THIS IS THE SLEEPER HAUNT OF THE YEAR! Don't let the fact that this event is new of under advertised sway you from attending it! I cannot stress enough how scary and well done this haunt is. The average age of the people in our group was about 23, and we all came out of there with our hearts racing and begging for more.

Even though it was cold and drizzly, there was quite a line. We got the "RVIP" passes to skip the line, which was great.

This place was great. I won the tickets off of this site and wouldn't have made the 1 1/2 drive there otherwise. They gained a couple of customers because we will go for sure next year, it was that good. Also, since it was just getting dark when we arrived, they asked if we in front minded if people with little kids cut since it was a little light yet. We didn't so we waited about an hour so it was funny to listen to the little kids. It really was a great haunt.

Summary
I went to my first Haunted House when I was 10 years old. It is one that is still ingrained in my memory as the best I have ever went to. Probably hyped in part by the evening (a full, huge and blood red moon was rising as we were waiting in line to get in), the circumstances (my grandfather had just died & it was my first funeral) and the particular Haunted House took us almost two hours to get through (I mean the house itself not the wait in line.) It was also a Jaycee's.
Now thirty years later, with my own kids in tow and as a regular part of our Halloween celebration we visit a haunt or two and this was one of the best so far. This is only my second time going to a Jaycee's Haunted House. I have noticed two types of Haunted Houses. One were you hustle from room to room taking in the barrage of scares and trying to get away from them as quickly as possible. The other like the Jaycee's as you enter a room and are made to wait while a tale or skit is relayed before moving on to the next scare. Personally I prefer this type of Haunted House. It allows me to take in all the wonderful work and decoration that goes into making these events. Rather than a quick glance as I get pushed along for one scare to the next I'm able to soak it all in.
I would say there are two distinct types of horror, one, the gothic variety i.e. Ghosts, Goblins, Ghouls, Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Mad Scientists, Frankenstein's monster and so on. The other a more modern horror, full of serial killers, surreal nightmarish monsters, demons, twisted clowns and sinister hillbillies, playing more on our fear of mortality (especially post 9/11 terrorists) than our fear of evil, the sinister and the freakish.
This Haunt was full of the modern kind of monsters, a fact I lament (I guess either all the gothic monsters are extinct, off on a long holiday or at some other haunt) but no matter, this was a thrilling attraction. This is not to say it was too gory or over the top with slasher types, just that I would have liked a mix of the gothic and modern. Especially would like to have seen a witch or two boiling up some mischief in the woods. Or perhaps meet a werewolf lingering on the wooded trail as we made our way to the house. They were notoriously absent, although we met with plenty of other scares which had us running out of the woods and into to deeper terror. I have to agree with others here the tank leading into the house was way cool. I also really liked the first & second rooms that you enter in the house. The actors there did a great job & it was one of the more creative mixes of story and effects, in the other rooms I did notice less story and more effects, scary no doubt but it doesn't etch itself into memory as well as a good story. Also a high five to the actor who stood waiting to be seen in front of my wife while she cowered in the corner with her hood over her face. Overall it was a fun & outstanding haunt and I recommend it.
