Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Very easy to find, alot of us came from Appleton so the directions offered on the haunts website was very easy to follow

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We purchased our tickets and one of my friends got the crap scared out of her by some ghoul in the parking lot! AWESOME!!!

Most Unique

Those performers in the towers kicked some serious butt. WOW The cave rooms were really cool too. very realistic

Actors' Performance

Nothing less than perfect. It seemed that all the actors embraced the holiday. I myself was reissued to the word "freaky".

Well . . . you might not want to bring your 2 year daughter

Summary

Alot of us have been to this event in the past and disliked it. Some of us didn't even want to go. Boy, were we wrong. We had nothing less than a great time. Thank you

Actors' Performance

first room...great!......they need to figure something out so groups dont' bunch up! that is lame when it happens. we dont get to see every thing when there's a bunch of people piled together that shouldn't be. also, i was the leader of my group...and i caught a guy drinking out of his water bottle...that was kinda sad. i know he was thirsty but dont do it in the room do it behind the door or something..but ne who it was decent...always go to it and always will cause they are different than any other haunt out there.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Ok, I'm not gonna lie. This event is hard to find with all the long dark roads and construction. If you have GPS, use it!!! Once you actually find the right road, there are signs pointing you in the right direction. Just beware of rough and narrow roads.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Partially outdoors and covered. Snacks and farm animals are part of the wait area.

Most Unique

The event is long and covers multiple venues. You have a house, a tent, a hayride, a cornmaze and a woods walk. Very cool. The mine and the backlog story of the event is very unique and well done.

Actors' Performance

The actors are super. If they don't get you the first time, they'll track you down and get you the next time. I gotta hand it to them, they're out there in the dark,mud and cold and still give everything they have when you cross their path.

Appropriate For

Summary

Dress warm and sit on the outside seats of the hayride. Be prepared for intense scares on the ride. They attack all of your senses. Just be sure to give yourself time to find this event!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Right on the corner of 15th and Forest Home. Look for the lights and listen for the creepy circus music.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Wait area is outdoors. Circus music, evil clowns and an overall malevolent carnival feel certainly set the anxiety.

Most Unique

Freakshow is cool. The vortex is trippy and the ringmaster is fantastic. The option to choose left or right is also unique.

Actors' Performance

Ok, this is what I have to say about the actors and that's all: they get off on scaring you to death!

Summary

Gilly has done it again. He loves to scare his guests and hires actors that feel the same. One of the evil clowns in the house, Craig, will do whatever is necessary for you to soil yourself. Beware.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The event is located at the Waukesha Expo Center. If you know Waukesha at all, you'll find it.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait area is definately different. Now, I didn't experience the full impact of the wait area, because our group had vip passes and skipped the line. However, I heard plenty of screams coming from the corral area where visitors were caged in and attacked by actors. Very cool.

Most Unique

The wait area was unique. The scenes were very realistic and well done. I had heard that before attending and was not let down.

Actors' Performance

Boy, they love to scream at you. It's creepy. They singled me out of the group, which was fun. The actors are witty and passionately love to scare you.

Summary

Definately a good time and worth the admission cost. Not the absolute scariest event for me this year, but the quality is spectacular. Oh yeah, if it looks fake, it probably isn't.

Terror on Rural Street

by lysergicerberus after attending on Friday, October 27, 2006 at about 10 p.m.

Fun Factor: Very High Fear Factor: Very High

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Signs leading you in the right direction. It's almost like the whole town is advertising the thing. Location is inside the Auto Museum next to the river.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Waiting area is partially outdoors. There are actors roaming the grounds that lead to the anticipation. The "giant" is cool.

Most Unique

3 unique mentions: 1) The checkerboard game. Misdirection at it's finest 2) The pendulum scene is definately unique. Be prepared for "scene interaction" 3) the fact that this event is non-profit. One could expect a charity event to not be a "top tier" Haunt. Dick, the operator of TORS, really put a lot of time and effort into this event. The scenes, makeup and details are fantastic.

Actors' Performance

Once again, they are REALLY into their roles. Timing is spot on. The actors with actual dialog are awesome.

Appropriate For

13+

Summary

I pretty much said what it all. I loved this Haunt and so did the group I went with. The ONLY drawback was the "bunching". Groups would run into each other. That happens though and it's not unique to this event. Overall, I was very pleased.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

There is construction in the area, so be sure to have a map handy. Tip: go to the 2nd exit and backtrack down that Hwy (Hwy P?). There are signs leading you in the right direction.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Wait area is outdoors (like the event) so dress warm. There is a bonfire available for a fee (?). Plenty of things to see and do including shops, snacks, decorations, etc.

Most Unique

The scenes and details of them, especially considering it's outdoors and in a huge corn field. The pirate scene and the strobes!!!

Actors' Performance

Very well done. There doesn't appear to be many actors, but with the huge size of the event there really are plenty laying in wait. I jumped a few times, especially in the scenes.

Appropriate For

10+ (with parent maybe)

Summary

You can see the heart put into this event. Attention to detail on a large scale really shows. These guys love what they do and it's well worth the drive. The strobe lights, blacklights and fog are all setup perfectly. Well done fellas!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Look for a strobe light and a line on the North side of Mitchell

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Not really any entertainment to speak of, but the people running the door are slightly dressed up. Dress warm.

Most Unique

The venus itself is unique. It's the upstairs of an old building and it has a natural creepiness to it. The enbalming room was very realistic and well done.

Actors' Performance

Top notch! These people stay in character no matter what. They love scaring you and will do what it takes to get a scream out of you. It doesn't matter if you are in front, middle or rear of the group. The Asylum Girl is fantastic!! I want to marry her

I'm glad i finally made it to this event. I've been wanting to go for years, and all the reviews I've read are true. I'm 29 years old and a seasoned veteran Haunt critic. This event scared the crap out of me. Well done!!!! See you next year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Directions are great lots of signs along the way. No problem finding it we were there last year.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

It was a week night so we waiting inside a building for abour 5 min. On weekend there is a tent outside that you wait in.

Most Unique

The most unique thing about this haunt is the use of a wooden maze and their ability to set up rooms and scenes throughout it. I also thought the room with the wood stacked in it.

Actors' Performance

Excellent. They knew how to get our group good. Towards the end there were five spooks that just kept circling around us and continued to get us. They did a terrific job if staying in character.

Signage / Visibility / Location

We got directions on Map Quest were good except we took a wrong turn and got lost had to stop and ask directions. Could use a few more signs.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The waiting area had a fire where you were able to stand around and talk if you wanted to. Was not to busy becasue it was a week night. We did wait about 10 min. Talked with the ticket booth people while we waited.

Most Unique

The fridge and flat bed. I would also say the bridge was very cool.

Actors' Performance

The actors were really good. They stayed in character well, regardless of what happened. Maybe less little kids some were not that scary.

This was our first time at this haunt. We loved it and will be back next year.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

If you use MapQuest, it gives you street names and how many miles to stay on each road. There weren't many visible signs, but it wasn't a problem.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait is covered, which is a definite plus. Also loud music. My best friend and I arrived right at 9 pm (when they close) - we waited less than ten minutes. (We've gone to this one for several years now and used to try to come early to beat the line... coming late on a Sunday seems to work better.)

Most Unique

The big guy in the first room was great (very different than anything else this year). Also several short pitch-black mazes (as opposed to one really long one that gets monotonous after a while)was a nice change.

Actors' Performance

Unlike several other places this year, they really seemed to get into character (like always). Also surprised us a few times by following us to the next room.

Appropriate For

?? (not sure how easily kids are scared these days)

Summary

I've been to just about every haunted attraction in the Milwaukee area - this one is definitely my current favorite. (I do miss Rainbow Springs, though!)

Not bad, I wasn't scared but my wife was startled a few times. She said the clown was annoying, he kept following us and was right up in her face. I think he did a good job of keeping things moving.

Oconto Jaycees Trail Of Terror

by pud27 after attending on Saturday, October 28, 2006 at about 8:30 p.m.

Fun Factor: Very High Fear Factor: Medium

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The haunt is located just off of Highway 41, so it is easy to get close to. Unfortunately there is another haunted trail in the woods that is in the opposite direction on the same road, so the two haunt signs get confusing, especially since the other haunts sign was easier to read and see. The location of the haunt is great. You are out on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and the whole woods thing at night is always kind of creepy. It was a little hard to find, because it is deep in a gully and you don't see it until you are right on it. They could use a bigger sign in front telling you that you are there, especially pointing to parking. A lighted sign or even just a bigger sign would have been nice.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait area was nice. It was in a stable so you could be out of the weather if you wanted to be. There was no entertainment that I saw, but we did not have much of a wait either. For being in a stable they did a nice job of setting it up to make you feel both welcome and slightly scared.

Most Unique

The most unique part of the trail was towards the middle of the haunt. You are told to sit down on a bench made of hay bales. The guide then knocks on a door to get the Old Hag who then proceeds to tell you a story. She was awesome! She knew her lines, was bale to improvise enough to get the right people into it. She really knew her part and did a great job in a truly unique performance. The whole trail offered various stops at scenes in which the actors interacted with the people going through the trail.

Actors' Performance

They were very good all throughout. The hag was great, as I mentioned, but everyone else did a very good job of interacting and staying in character as well. The use of non-seen actors was very good as well. There were numerous times that things came out of nowhere at you. Overall they seemed very experiences.

Appropriate For

I think anyone ten and up would enjoy this haunt

Summary

This was one of the most fun haunts we attended all year. While it was not the scariest of them all, it was a good way to spend 25 minutes of our night. They are only in their fourth year, but their quality says otherwise. I would have easily believed they were in business longer. Proceeds go to a great cause, and the price is definitely right. They could have charged more than seven dollars and I would have felt I got my moneys worth. I appreciate their modesty in their site listing, saying they are a medium scare. There were parts that made me jump, and anyone who scares slightly easily will be on edge throughout. Overall, it was a great haunt that I believe will only become greater over time. I would definitely consider making this a yearly haunt, even for the 45 minute drive.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The directions are very easy, as it is located on a major highway. I did not notice any signs until coming up on the place itself. A sign pointing the direction would have been nice. The place is very visible on highway 47, as it is all by itself with a big spotlight on it. The location was just outside of the city, but the building itself was kind of creepy. I think there was an open diner attached, but it all looked like it was rundown and unused for many years. The building works well into the believability of it being a haunted attraction.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a small wait area inside, but if it were busy it would definitely wrap outside the building. We were there shortly after they opened and there was about a two-minute wait, so I don't know if there was entertainment. I do know they were playing Wishmaster on the TV.

Most Unique

There were a couple of unique features to this house. I really liked the indoor corn maze. It was well done and the use of hay bales to make the pathway was pretty cool. The clowns were pretty unique as well. I know clowns are pretty much a given at all haunts, I have never seen a haunt that has Clown Room written right on the door. It was kind of funny, and it did not take away from the room.

Actors' Performance

The actors performance varied throughout the haunt. Some of the actors were very good and stayed with you if they did not scare you. Unfortunately there were a few who gave up after one yell. One girl even laughed out loud after she attempted unsuccessfully to scare us. For the most part, they tried. You could tell they were having fun, and somewhat inexperienced.

Appropriate For

I think it could be a good haunt for kids 9 or 10 years old. It would probably be a good first haunt for someone looking to take his or her younger kids to.

Summary

I really want to like this haunt. It is obvious they put a lot of time and effort into it. While inexperienced, the actors could be great with just a little bit more confidence. While the event listing says they are not wheel chair accessible, it appeared to me that you could get one through. They have a lot of room and the walkways are very wide. I think they could expand and add a few more scenes by simply narrowing the walkways a little bit. The scenes were decent, but they rely more on actors to do the scares. Unfortunately on this night the actors were not on the top of their game. According to an archive review from last year, it took 20 minutes to walk through. It only took ten minutes for us to get through this year, and we walk slowly through houses because I like to be able to take in the scenes. This is a disappointing slide from last year. Overall, this haunt has a lot of potential. I do not know how long they have been in operation, but last year was the first time I saw them listed on Haunted Wisconsin. If they can expand a little and make use of all the room they have available, it could be a great haunt. For $10, it is a little overpriced, but the money does go to charity.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Was easy to find once we got on the correct road. We are from out of town and I am sure locals will find it with ease.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Wait Area was fine. The hotel lobby was quaint.

Most Unique

The lobby and the intro story.

Actors' Performance

The intro was nice.... however, we assumed the actors could not touch us... NOT TRUE! Well at least they touched us. I had my leg grabbed as well as getting hit in the face with some sort of a whip. Those who visit St. Valentine will know what I am talking about. Accidental of course but very preventable while keeping the scare factor intact. No apology ever issued and the actor most certainly knew what had happened as she for a moment "came out of charecter." My girlfriend also left with a small bruise from an over zealous chain saw operator. Not so cool... I think the "very high" scare factor is a bit too generous. Compared to modern hauted houses it was better than most.

Appropriate For

13... nobody if the contact is the norm.

Summary

Let visitors know if the actors will be touching you.

Burial Chamber Haunted Complex

by metalhed9 after attending on Saturday, October 14, 2006 at about 9 p.m.

Fun Factor: Very High Fear Factor: Very High

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The location is easy to find, off Winchester road, east, then a right at the 'T' intersection, and you can't miss the two huge warehouses, all decked out with custom signage for the ticket area, not to mention the big logo / Burial Chamber on the side of the warehouse.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

I happened to go for the VIP treatment, so my wait was 'zero'. Plenty of freaks wandering around in excellent make-up. Good old Michale Meyers,a Devil guy, a dude with a chainsaw, 'natch - all to good effect, well-played. Nice tasty treats and SWAG available, and the VIP room is cozy with a big screen to watch the teens freak out on their way through.

Most Unique

I'd say the Blood City rooms that were decked out for the stripper room and 'hair salon' room, while not scary, were unique, and you could tell they were having fun. Also, the toilet with the 'plumbing malfunction' was a first-time thing for me.

Actors' Performance

This, I would say, is the strongest point of this complex, in both 'Burial Chamber' and 'Blood City', but more memorable in Blood City, I suppose. (The other strength is the variety of 'scares' which keeps you on your toes). Very creative characters such as these weird alien creatures, the, uh, 'stripper', the hair salon fellows, and your usual 'hallway-lurker-followers' hounding you 'til the end, and actors in 'scene rooms' fitting well into their area. Even as I saw some of the actors talking to each other, what's cool is they would STAY IN CHARACTER. I did not question the obsessive loyalty of these freaks at work.

Appropriate For

15-200

Summary

Burial Chamber makes good use of UTTER DARKNESS. If pressed to compare, I'd say it's 'scarier' because you have no clue what's coming up next.

Blood City has PLENTY of scares, however. I really recommend doing both; it's a value at $20 for the two, especially compared to other, smaller, less inventive haunted houses.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

The signs are small but the driver had directions and I knew the area somewhat.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Normal line nothing special, they did however have the in a good order!! I can't say the same for other haunts I've been to.

Most Unique

I really loved the entrance to the house, and the first couple of rooms with the paintings. I thought all of the rooms were pretty cool though.

Actors' Performance

Hard to say because there were so many people going through at once. But they seemed decent but not as great as people have been saying.

Summary

I was pretty disappointed. After reading all the reviews on here I honestly thought it was going to be great! The stall in the begining is nowhere near as awesome as everyone made it sound. I read that they had actors scaring you inside which didn't happen we were in there with 5 other people just bored for about 5 minutes. Also they send in WAY too many people at once. First of all, we were a group of 5 and they sent in a group of 6 with us, We were cathing up to the group ahead and a group was catching up to the group behind us. At some point I'd say there were almost 20 of us trying to get through at once, which pretty much ruins it. Other than that, it was decent. It is worth the money and the wait, the props/designs are awesome and you can certainly tell they put a lot of time and money into it. I am still however a bit disppointed. People hype it up too much.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

I knew where it was so it was easy to find. There weren't any signs leading to it but when you got to Terror on Rural Street there was a large sign.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Me and my friends enjoyed the wait. There were creatures that would run after you after you got your ticket and then there were some in the place where you sat to wait. Some would talk to you, others would just sit and stare at you for like 5 minutes straight, kinda worried but it was fun.

Most Unique

The checkerboard was quite interesting so was the bus thing(kinda odd but in a good way)The scene with the butcher was quite interesting too.

Actors' Performance

The actors were pretty good. There were some really good ones and there were some not so good ones. Overall they were good.

Summary

It was pretty good,it was scary most of the time except for when we had to stop because we were catching up to the next group, they coulda handled that a little better. But other than that, it was good.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

We got lost and had to ask for directions at a gas station, but I am really bad with directions so it was probably our fault we got lost. It wasn't that hard to get to once we figured it out.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wair area wasn't very entertaining. It didn't seem like it took that long to get in because the line was moving pretty fast. Being locked up in the little holding pens was kind of boring because nothing happened. I think they quit scaring people in the cages shortly before we got in there because all of the sudden we just stopped hearing screams coming from there.

Most Unique

The most unique thing was probably the decorations along the walls. Especially the one with all the skeletons and stuff. I found myself admiring many of the decorations.

Actors' Performance

They asked alot of weird questions. One of the girls basically kissed me, her face was touching my face the whole time and she wouldn't get out of my face and kept asking "wanna play"? I didn't really find any of them very scary because they all asked weird questions that made me be like "what???". But there was also two guys in front of us that gave away everything that was coming up and the actors didn't really try to scare us.

Summary

Overall, I was scared only once. This is because I went and saw texas chainsaw massacre a few weeks ago and I heard a chainsaw and ran for my life. Other than that, I didn't find it all that entertaining. The actors didn't really seem to be trying to scare us though, we just sort of walked by most of them and said "hey". I wasn't all that impressed. I scare very very easily too and for me not to get scared says something.
