Review

My 3rd year here and it only gets worse. Seems like they pull no punches when it comes to old standbys. I have seen enough of the Hearse,Chainsaws and RopeBridge.One room featured the only way out squeezing through a old refigerator,which was identical to last year and not very scary. This profit based haunt has become nothing but predictable. The same delapitated shacks strewn through a muddy woods populated with country bumpkins who feel hootin and hollerin is a good scare. There are enough bumps and bangs to make you jump but nothing too scary. The props and scenes appear unfinished and rushed. The actors are very off-cue and most half costumed and out of character. As we walked from shack to shack there were masked people just standing around warming themselves by the bonfires or talking to one another. One scene in a tent had a Real Coffin but no action,another a false truck cab was very unoriginal as well as the trailer with Santa Clause which lacked in both Class and a Scare. Seemed more like a Day After Christmas sale at WalMart in which I'm sure most of the props originated. If you enjoy good old fashioned country fun this may be the haunt for you. The woods is Creepy in itself. The wait was not very long but I do not feel it is worth the asking price for it does not take long to walk through.

Summary

Pricey for the amount of scares. Predictable scenes. Lack of originality with the exception of one scene I found disturbing. The room was lit by candles and birthday music was playing and it was all done up like a kids birthday party. I thought this is not normal! All I saw was zombie children seated at the table until we looked for a exit and were greeted by a creepy little clown asking if we came for the party. Another clown knew my name and squirted us with party strings and laughed a evil laugh. It was original,unexpected and freaked us out,Clowns throwing a birthday party in a abandoned shack in the woods and evidence of prior lured victims. Enough to make the wheels of my mind spin. This could really happen! VERY ORIGINAL. I'd go back next year for that,but the rest needs work.
