Once my group and I got there you could tell this is a good haunt. By the cars in the parking lot you could just tell there was going to be a long wait. Tickets prices were not that bad, $12 for a haunt that is about 45 minutes long is not a rip off in any way. The wait was entertaining with "monsters" roaming the parking lot and the line. I didn't think the line was to long compared to some i've been to. The idea of actually telling the rules directly to the customers is smart because a lot of these sets take a long time to build and a lot of money goes into them. For the house I thought it was good but I would make it more interactive and have more actors. The trail was also OK but again more actors are needed. All in all I liked it.

One big down side was the group in front of us was going way to slow and the group behind us was going way to fast, so i would have an actor stop groups on getting to close.

The Haunted Barn was pretty fun. My husband and I and a friend attended it around 10pm. Definantly was worth the drive and the money. We had lots of fun. Beetlejuice was GREAT!! He stayed in character the entire time he startled me a few times but other than that he was my fav.The wait in line wasnt bad at all. and while your wating around you can buy some snacks as well as "getting burried alive". It was pretty cool.I dont like clowns AT ALL and right as you enter there are 2 but other than that I dont think there was any more of thoes so if you are afraid of clowns you dont have to worrie about them once you get past the entrance. I think that once you get outside that they could have had some more characters to fill in some empty spaces but otherwise I thought it was pretty fun it isnt the scariest but it was fun, so if your lookin to have fun with friends and or family I think that this would be a good haunted house to attend.Oh and I will warn you that there are very thight spaces and a couple steps. so be careful!!

My wife and I attended The Haunted Barn last year and returned again in 2011 to find the same familiar friendly environment, with enough changes to make the haunt refreshingly interesting. An actor dressed like Beetlejuice greeted all visitors and played the role especially well, priming us for some good scary fun. Visitors were spaced apart nicely so we were not bumping into people who entered the haunt ahead of us.

There are three haunted locations on site and they each offer unique experiences, though we saw fewer actors this year. Some additional actors located throughout the trek would have added more fear factor and suspense.

Loved it! The characters/actors were wonderful - the costumes, makeup, and portrayal of the character was perfect. Loved Beetlejuice and the twins (they totally creeped me out). The event is well worth your money, it lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on your pace. The decorations/scene setting, especially inside the barn, was amazing, these people really know what they are doing! I would have liked more interaction in the haunted woods, it was a pretty walk with all the lights through the woods, but not very haunted. Otherwise everything was great. My favorite thing was the vortex bridge. Words can't explain it, you just have to experience it!!!

The attention to detail in the makeup, costume and hair was terriffic. Each character played their part very well. I was particularily impressed by the erie twin clowns and the poor little girl looking for her lost cat. Also the horror and thrill was continuous. The haunted house is easy to find with a sign posted by the driveway and parking was plentiful. Definitely a must see haunted house.

The last weekend in September seems really too soon for a haunt for some. Not for my friends and I. We hopped in car named Carl and headed to The Haunted barn for their first night if operation.

We arrived close to their closing time of 11 pm. there was a few groups that were going through at the time. This was my partner's second visit to the Haunted Barn and the scenery changed a little but very similar to last year. the scares were near and far between it seemed. The Haunt used the featured theme of Carnival very sparingly. It was present only during the beginning and kind of fell off my radar. The actors doing the scares were a little cheesy at times but still managed to make me jump a few times.
The length of this haunt was long but only because of the forest that was empty except for a few scare actors in the forest/cemetery. I will say that the props and detail is getting immensely better year by year. For example the awesome haunted mine that was neat. Also, the western style building with a porch and balcony was great to see.
To get to the haunt was easy there is two ways of getting there and both are equally easy if you coming from Madison. My favorite actor is Beetle juice. He made a triumphant but out of place return. He followed us through such as last year. b-juice was as clever and interactive as ever. Thanx for that highlight. Also, the clown like thing out side did not say much but he had great makeup. now if they could just fill those rooms up with more scares and more variety of things to experience next year I would give you a better rating.
