Signage / Visibility / Location
It was pretty easy to find the splatter haus got directions off of yahoo and a couple people in our group has been there before
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was no wait entertainment what so ever there was nothing that would get you into the halloween spirit the only thing they had was loud music blasting your ears which is really dumb you could fill out this paper for a raffle and the tent was freezing and no where to sit
Length
it took us about 20-25mins to go through
Actors' Performance
I think all of the monsters and everything were trying to do there best to scare us but not one of them scared anyone in my group all of the monsters I seen were half my size in height and weight the ones that tryed to get in my face to scare me and all I did was look down and laughed not scary at all but very nice masks, costumes & rooms were nicely built
Appropriate For
8+
Summary
I have heard about splatter haus from other people and heard it on the radio everyone is always hyping it up but when I went for the ten dollars I spent the only thing worth my money was seeing the quality of the costumes, masks, rooms and some of the effects I seen that I have seen some where before the sound effects were the same in everyroom I think if they would add some dark hiding spaces and some better monster who could scare someone plus lower the price it would be worth the money your spending

Signage / Visibility / Location
It was kind of hard to find could of had bright signs out front drove a little past it and seen the big haunted house banner
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
when we were walking in there was a guy with a chainsaw wearing a mask that freaked out half of my group got to look at all the t-shirts they had from over the years and a list of there sponsors also they had a list of years, location & the chairperson for that year and location had neon lights that made you glow the entrance to the house had like a skull border that looked really cool and the lady that took are tickets was dressed up that is very rare to see other than that there was really nothing could of had something but we didn't wait that long maybe 10mins and we were all to busy talking
Length
I would say it took us about 20mins to walk through the house we were not forced or told to move on we strolled through and looked around and had people get scared & freaked out
Actors' Performance
I think there performance was great being there last night open and everything everyone was giving their all I would say they could do a little better
Summary
I think the sheboygan jaycees did a great job with what they have them being a non profit organization probably didn't have the money to spend on all the fancy junk that is highly over used I got a chance to talk to some of the volunteers and take a tour of there setup I feel kind of bad that they pack everything up store it and find a new place to rent for the next year. year after year of doing that would make me want to say forget it but some of them have been doing it for quite awhile so thats shows me they do 110% to keep going

Signage / Visibility / Location
Without directions from Haunted WI, we would never have found it. When you are on their road they have a lit sign.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Good, loud, hard music. You wait in line in a tent. We waited for about 20 minutes.
Length
20-25 minutes.
Actors' Performance
Decent performance. Some monsters were more enthusiastic than others. I believe we caught a few off guard and the actual scare was reduced significantly if you were not the front two people.
Appropriate For
12 and up.
Summary
The costumes and the attention to detail in the scenes were incredible. Truly second to none. The alien and robot were particularly a sight to behold. They let 8 in at one time and if you are not in the front, be ready to walk into a scene with a monster already barking at you with little scare value. The sound was excellent and really gets your adrenaline pumping. Most scenes were too well lit going into them and there were not enough random scares through out the tight, claustorphobic, pitch-black maze leading up to the scenes. However, it was quite an event to see and I would highly recommend it due to the high-tech quality put into it more than the scare factor.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Great directions on the website and Haunted WI. Without them, you would have a hard time stumbling onto it unless you happened to be driving down HWY M.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was no entertainment besides screams from inside. We arrived just as they were closing and waited for about 25 minutes inside the barn.
Length
About 20-25 minutes. Just right.
Actors' Performance
Wisconsin's best. The monsters were outstanding in their roles and the costumes were very good.
Appropriate For
13 and up.
Summary
I had low expectations due to the lukewarm Journal-Sentinel review, however I was simply blown away! They only let 4 in at one time which increases the scare factor. The rooms were detailed and the monsters were excellent. The scare value was incredible because they would come at you from all angles, stay in their roles and were persistent. My group fell backwards, literally onto the floor, about 4 times. For genuine scares, this was the best haunted house I have ever been too. What a blast! I recommend it to anyone who wants the bejeezus scared out of them.

easy to find with signs all over town
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
got here early to get it - let us in before time and that was nice to get it running promptly
Length
15 minutes - I went pretty fast as my daughter was scared and bawling (and she is 10 years old)
Actors' Performance
great job by everyone involved
the rooms were well planned - nice variety
Appropriate For
4th or 5th grade and older
Summary
My daughter and I loved the room with the kids and the strobe light - it really freaked us out seeing children involved, especially considering the history of the building and that room in particular - the mother figure did a great job keeping the suspense, totally startled us and kept us on out toes by continueing to act until she shut the door loudly behind us!!!! Lots of fun

The room with the strobe and the kids was the best! It was loud and interactive and that made it much more exciting than the others. The house overall was probably the best I have ever seen!

wait was alittle long even with getting there early. 15 minutes early before it open, and still took over a hour to get in.

it will take you between 25 to 40 minutes to go though.we went though with a group of ten so it took us about 40 minutes to make it though.
Actors' Performance
very very good the group was alittle concered before hand, But with every turn we where very pleased never a dull moment.
Appropriate For

Summary
This was the best house that our group has been though yet, And we have been doing this for year. Mostly outside events in the past. we will e back next year UNLESS we can find one better, Thou I DONT think it will be easy to find better. GOOD JOB GUYS

It was pretty easy to find if you live in Janesville.......
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We waited for about a 1/2 hour......
Length
about 10 minutes
Actors' Performance
I really didn't think that there were a lot of "mosters" mostly what I see were little kids trying to be scary but they weren't.....it was more funny than scary
Appropriate For
6-12 year olds
Summary
I think this place has good potential if they have more monsters who are willing to get into their character more......also I didn't like the guide showing us the way.....its takes the fun out of it

Review
Signage / Visibility / Location
House was difficult to find as the sign is not lit and is written in black in a location not well positioned from the road. In addition, the parking lot/lawn was very dark. Fortunately, when we were there, there weren't may cars as if the lot were full it'd be difficult to find where you parked.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
We had a brief wait of about 20 min.
Length
I'd guess it took approximately 30 min. to traverse the house, however, we had an extreemly slow group in front of us that prevented us from moving any faster.
Actors' Performance
Very few actual actors. You're mostly on your own wandering in the dark. It appears the operators are banking mostly on the natural creepy atmosphere of the location vs. creating elaborate sets, etc. I can only remember a handful of staff being anywhere within the house during the walk through.
The chainsaw performance at the end went WAY TOO LONG and got obnoxious.
Appropriate For
teens/adults-not safe for children
Summary
We felt there were some serious dangers in this house that the operators should reconsider for future years. One was a crawl through, square opening in the middle of a wall blocking a hallway. A coworker of mine fell through it thinking it was a crawl through area and landed on her face.
Also, in the maze in the basement there are exposed pipes on the floor that would be easy to trip on or to hurt your feet on if you hit them the wrong way. These are liability issues that shouldn't be overlooked.
