Review

Absolutely awesome! Creepy circus music plays throughout and almost all the actors are in makeup, not those cheap, lazy masks unless their part calls for one.

The queue at the entrance is very entertaining, having newspaper cutouts on the wall explaining the history of what happened and what to expect, instead of most houses where you stand around rolling your eyes waiting for your turn to go in.

The vortex almost made me fall! My eyes were jelly!

The actors were totally committed to their parts and very professional, unlike most haunts where they get the neighborhood kids to come over and play around in cheap costumes for a few hours after decorating with front yard ornaments from Wal-Mart.

There were three different mazes in this house, each with a different theme and each very disorienting. A fence maze, a dark maze and a mirror room. The bloody tooth fairy clown made my teeth squiggle! Ouch!

The freak show was very creepy. I thought the fence was going to bust open and the freaks were going to spill out all over me. Ghastly!

The doctor in the torture room almost made my pants fly off in a stream of pressurized pee when he whipped out his huge syringe!

This was an awesome house and I suggest it to anyone looking for not only a scare, but a great time and a commitment from the actors to make you have fun. They can't touch you, but these people are so skilled they don't have to and can still get the job done.

Summary

Oh no! I kind of mixed the review and summary together! It's OK! I have a disease.
