Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It was easy to find once we found our way down the long Forest Home Avenue. I would have liked written directions from the event itself and suggested that to one of the ticketholders after we viewed the event.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Lots of clownish dressed people outside. We didn't have to wait at all to go in.

Most Unique

The circus music playing through the entire house was creepy. I liked that they took one theme and stuck with it throughout the house.

Actors' Performance

Excellent. Nobody broke character once, and the laughs from the clowns were great. I was especially impressed with the women clowns at the end. Somtimes it is hard to be scared by women characters, but these girls were great and very creepy.

Appropriate For

10 & Up

Summary

A great example of what a home-grown haunted house should be. My friend was trembling through the entire house and was very creeped out. I enjoyed the mazes, the special lighting effects and I liked the fortune-teller midway through who kept us going through the house. There were very few people attending this haunted house, which is a shame because it is very good. I go to at least 10 haunted houses a year, so I know a good one when I see one. Take the time to check this one out!
