Hubertus House of Horror
Andy's Web Log
Posted By: Andy
This is just a quick note to anyone who missed Hubertus House of Horror last year. The haunt season is just starting so now is a great time to visit those big name haunts that fill up past capacity towards the latter half of October.
Jenny and I have visited Hubertus House of Horror many years in the past but when we went last year, the event was already sold out at 7pm! The operators took us on a tour of the house and it was easy to see why. They have really stepped up the effects with some big and extremely well done things you won't see anywhere else. The house started off with a big scare and continued on to a variety of unique scenes through the large house. The only negative point was crowd control broke down towards the end of the house so scenes weren't able to "reset" as the congo-line of people marched through but that shouldn't be an issue this early in the season.
Pro tip: Hubertus House of Horror is near Terror on Rural Street and Hartford Jaycees and all three have a ticket call system so if you plan it right, you can make all three in a single night. If you live in Waukesha, you can even hit Wisconsin Fear Grounds on your way there like we do for a four-haunts-in-one-night whirlwind tour.
Now get out there and discover the best haunts while the lines are still short. If you survive, don't forget to submit your reviews to HauntedWisconsin.com so everyone can see you got there first.

Very well put Andy! The man is like Silent Bob, he doesn't speak much, but when he does it's riddled with wisdoms and creamy nougat.
Hubertus House of Horror is always a fun time, always busy and always a great scare. We had the unique honor of sharing an interlude meal with the entire cast last year plus got ourselves a tour of the house. We still talk about that experience and look forward to seeing our ghoulish friends in Hubertus again this year.
Terror on Rural Street scared the crap out of us once again last year. The cast and operators at TORS love to hear us scream and we certainly didn't disappoint them. Dick, the operator, has some of the best hospitality, creativity and scare-ability around. We will most definitely be going back for more punishment this year, and stopping by for some additional scares at Hartford Jaycees. Their trademark walk through the woods before reaching the house is always a highlight of the haunt season.
Wisconsin Feargrounds is becoming a nationally recognized powerhouse for plenty of reasons and they continue to step up their thrills every year. Tim, the owner, is a very good friend of HauntedWisconsin and the entire haunt community. The guy knows how to put on a top notch show and the Fearground's creatures, zombies and demons will stop at nothing to watch you tremble in terror.
Ok, I'm ready for haunt season 09!!!!!

We have already started the Haunt season and already the favorite of the haunts is Wisconsin Feargrounds! Every year we are amazed at the time and effort that is put into these houses. This year they brought back some past year favorites. Like Dan and Andy said you have to get an early start because they fill up fast. Hubertis and Terror and Feargrounds have great waiting areas but if you want to hit more than one in a night you have to plan. The economy is a little tighter this year so if you have to pick just one or two your top pick should be FEARGROUNDS and sorry I cant tell you to pick a certain one there because all three were awesome! There is no chinsing or lack of scares here and I am a tough one to scare! Even with bigger groups the ENTIRE group gets it because they are litterally crawling out of the woodwork and they dont "peter out the scare" after the first one or two people. If you are inviting haunting newcomers dont embarrass yourself by letting them waste their money...be the hero of the night and take them to Feargrounds.
