2009 Hauntfest - CLOSED - Event Reviews

The day I went was quite busy. I thought I would be bored by the wait, but they have videos playing on a big movie screen and a DJ in a tent which made the time fly by. Also there were dancers that put on a awesome show with a Michael Jackson tribute. The haunted house had me jumping, flinching, and screaming. I think Ill go again just to see all of the creepy, scary stuff I missed the first time

First off - loved the Michael Jackson videos to keep you entertained. I was busting moves out all night there.

In the house, I loved the ideas that went into the rooms. The maze and the balloon areas (you'll know when you go through) were some of my faves.. And the details in the rooms were fantastic.

However, some sides I didn't like was that almost in every other room the actors yelled at you to "get out"! It gets repetitive and not good haunted house etiquette. If I'm a zombie and want to eat your brains, I will not tell you to "get out"! And the fact that a lot of the actors were kids. Not a problem for some themed to say "I'm going to get you next" is a little hard to believe. :)

been there in the past, thought it was pretty good. This year not so much.
The actors didn't really act, they just screamed really loud in your face which got annoying after awhile. It seemed like a repeat from last year, not too much different. Got a little pissed having to pay the extra 5 bucks for parking....they shoud have advertised that ahead of time. All in all a so so haunted house. I go to a bunch every year and the one that stands out way better then all the rest is still the one at waukesha expo. Even doing it twice the second time was just as good as the first!!!

They change it a bit every year which is good.They keep some same stuff the like vortex room which is always awesome.Pleanty of gore and scary psychos to fill up the house.No one touches you on purpose,but a ghoul did fall onto me on the elevator,when it shook to a stop.Lol.Thought there would be a more M.J. theme,but that's cool that there wasn't.We have had the pleasure everytime we went,to be in really cool and friendly groups of people.That makes or breaks the experience.Wish we walked a bit slower though,lots to see at every turn.I prefer haunted houses in the "Boonies",but for being so close,you can't go wrong!

UUUGGGG, I was really dissappointed this year. First of all I dont know what all the "Michael Jackson and Thriller" talk is because there was NOTHING of what they are advertising. The scull at the beginning sings a little and then some kid was hanging his head over the railing. That was it! It was alittle better this year as in they didnt make us carry flash lights like last year but it was soooo loud (as in annoying not good loud) and the monsters just "yelled" at you and if your good at what you do you dont need to do that. There were 6 of us in a group and the first 2 people got a few scares but then that was it. They made no effort for the rest of the group. I felt cheated. Then at the end the feature that they had has worked in the past because they did it another way, well this year it had no effect accept for affecting your hearing. LITTERALLY! we thought they blew our eardrums. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 6.
