I have been attending ATOLS since it was in Oshkosh at the fairgrounds. I loved going to it every year when it was here, so when it moved to the factory I had to go see it there. The new building is amazing and it adds a good effect to the haunt itself. The building is creepy and that adds to it. When you get there, you get to wait in line inside with a funny clown named BoBo entertaining you. We waited in line for about 15 minutes and then went to hear the rules. That lady was very funny.
Actors: The actors seem very experienced and into their characters. They seem very passionate about what they are doing.
Make Up: The make up looked really good, especially on the characters in the hospital ward. Blood wasn't overused and the gore was spot on. There were no areas that were exposed.
Scenes: You could tell that the scenes had a lot of time and effort put into them. They were very detailed. My favorite room had to have been the one with all of the skulls put together. The rooms look natural and had no visual flaws. The props used were very good and could tell they spent a lot of money on them. The props were not cheesy like other haunts I have seen. Another one of my favorite effects was the mattresses going across the floor.
Length of haunt: The haunt took roughly 45 minutes start to finish and is longer than many I have been to in the state.
Layout: The layout is very good and rooms flow very nicely.
Overall I think this haunt is a must see. In my opinion, one of the best haunts in the state. If you are thinking about going here think no more and GO!

Green Bay Fear is the haunt that everyone is talking about this year! The Beja Shriners have done a great job marketing the haunted house from the very creepy commercials ran late at night on TV to the very cool T-shirts I see past victims wearing out and about. The commercials were so professionally done that the anticipation of attending Fear was almost as great as the scares once you arrive. When you arrive at the haunted house you have the option to purchase a general admission ticket for $15 or a RIP/VIP ticket for $25. The house itself is great and well worth the $15, but for $10 more you can't afford NOT to go RIP. You get to skip the lines, socialize, eat smores, have unlimited hot cocoa, sit around a cozy bonfire and listen to an AWESOME live band on a creepy stage. There were people of all ages hanging out in the VIP area. The outside of the haunt with its large structure and broken wooden fence help to create a frightening atmosphere. As you enter the haunt, a creepy actor helps instruct you to put on the 3d glasses that are not NEEDED, but definitely compliment the haunt perfectly.
Green Bay Fear is a MASTER in 3d effect. Most haunts rely on the heavy luminescent colors to create scares, but Green Bay Fear using the 3d effect to enhance the already very scary sets and props. The detail in each room is very realistic and the actors are very well placed, I'm not even certain if some of the noise coming from the actors was human. It has been a LONG time since a haunted attraction has made me scream, but Green Bay Fear accomplished this goal not once, but TWICE.

We arrived at this haunt just before closing and there were still a lot of people there - a good sign. We waited about 30 minutes before we entered the haunt which starts with a creepy dark walk through the woods. Once you enter the house, each room presents a new face and a new scare. The make-up, costumes, and FX are all pretty good. The actors all do a good job - a few of them stumbled over their lines. I appreciated that each room had an interactive actor who had a story and a presentation and encouraged us to stick around with him/her for a while, there wasn't much jumping out and yelling "boo," they went for the bigger scare, which I like. The only thing I was disappointed about was the number of animatronic scares throughout the house. They don't do much for me and I was let-down in a number of rooms because they relied on those creatures to scare us. Buzz-kill. Overall, though, a good haunt that lasts pretty long, so definitely worth it.
Check it out. It's fun and the actors are pretty good. Take your time on the woods walk - it's one of the scariest parts.

I enjoyed Terror on Rural Street just as much this year as I have in the past. They always do an exceptional job! We were really early in the season, so the wait was quite short, but don't expect the same to be true if you're visiting closer to Halloween - they tend to get quite busy. As usual, the make-up, costumes and effects were incredible and had my group terrified at every twist and turn.

The House of Bathory has been my favorite haunt for the past couple of years. This year once again it remains at the top of my list. They have always been one of the only haunts left that has an "old school" style haunt. I have always loved the interactions that take part in each and every scene. By doing these interactions, it makes you feel as though you are part of the evil doings that are happening around you. I will warn you they are not afraid to touch you in this haunt. Dead by Dawn Productions chose a history theme for their haunt this year which I have never seen done by any other haunt I've ever been to. From the minute you walk up the steps in the House of Bathory till the minute you exit I felt as though I have traveled back in time to witness and take part in the horrific events that have happened in the past.

In all my years of attending haunts, this was by far the biggest surprise I've come across! The idea of a haunt put on by a school or school district always makes me a little leery. Haunted High has caused me to reevaluate that thought! Frightening, intriguing, and awe inspiring, this haunt has it all. When I think of what made Haunted High stand out, one word comes to mind, innovative! Crazy terrain tricks, dedicated actors, and an ending that is nothing short of amazing! I don't know what the budge for Haunted High was, but it's safe to assume they used every penny wisely! I would recommend Haunted High to anyone looking to have a spooky fun night! Bravo Haunted High, Bravo!

Nightmare Factory is a haunt that I have added to my must see list. I have always been a fan of them when they were located in Oshkosh and now that they moved into an actual Nightmare Factory it has completely blown me away. Room after room is filled with things that would only be created in a nightmare factory. I was left completely surprised and impressed around every corner.
They start you off at what looks like the loading docks of an old factory. Once inside you are lead up an old stairwell and leads you to the 3rd floor of the factory. Once the door opens you are thrown into a world that only the dead would live in. About half way through, you reach a point where you enter a 3-D effect style haunt. The 3-D effects usually don't do much for me but I was actually impressed by theirs. They kept with it the entire way through and each scene contained scenes I would never think to put into a 3D style haunt.

I attended these haunted houses last year and had a great time so I was excited to bring a group of friends to check it out this year. We were definitely glad we went! They kicked it up a notch this year with the three haunted houses. Each one seems longer, and they were entertaining the whole way through. Some of the monsters were funny and some were scary.
As a Halloween enthusiast, I highly recommend attending the Wisconsin Feargrounds. The scares kept coming, and it is worth the $30.00!

I am not sure where to begin, I love this haunt. The setting is right in the middle of nowhere, but my GPS took me right to their lit sign. There were creatures working the parking lot before you even entered the store to purchase tickets. Their concession area was the best I have ever seen. Popcorn candy and pop of course, along with hot dogs, nachos, hot chocolate, cider, cappuccino and those giant pretzels I love. The que was in a giant barn and wound around huge hay bales the actors worked on top of. With all the activity it did not seem like 45 min. before we were getting the story of the farm and heading up to the ominous mine shaft entrance. I swear this is a real mine shaft that ends up in a great haunted house. When you come out there is a fire and actors doing a fortune telling bit to entertain you until your whole group is through the house. Next you are loaded on a wagon. Not just any wagon, this thing has seats and special effects built in, along with a sound track that matches the scenes. The natural eeriness of the ride is only enhanced by fire breathing demons and dragons, and ghouls that attack the wagon. I lost track of how many scenes we traveled through over what must have been 100 acres and then as the sound track says “Just when you thought it was over” they get you off the wagon in the middle of a pine forest. There is another bon fire here and someone to send your group through the woods 2 or 3 at a time. Again there is a ton of scenes including a grave yard, cabin and slaughter house that will blow your mind. And if that was not enough there is a trail through the corn field where actors come out of nowhere to chase you through. Our group of 4 had a great time. When I checked my watch I figured we were just entertained for about an hour. One last stop at the concessions area for a pop and a great looking sweat shirt. We could not stop talking about what we liked best.
The dark side is like 4 haunts in one. With the enormity of this place I cannot wait to see what they offer next year.

I attended on a Friday night and, as mentioned previously, the parking lots made it look as if the place was hopping, but the cars must have been mostly for the other events in the area. We bought our tickets and went to the waiting area, which was relatively empty. There are concessions available (even beer this year...YAY!) The concession area and entry were decorated and dark. Kinda cool. There were a couple of actors in there working the small crowd. We waited only about 15-20 minutes before our numbers were called. There were three other groups that were lined up in an orderly fashion and a ghoulishly wicked actor explained the rules and warmed up the groups. The groups were about 4-5 in number. Just the right size. This is always a very well operated and organized event.
Once inside the house, each area was filled with great detail and props to fit each scene and very little seemed to be carried over from last year. There were many dark hallways but there always seemed to be some type of surprise waiting in each. The detail and make up was awesome. The actors were all great and always stayed in character. There were many special high tech and mechanical FX that blended well with the live portions. The groups were well spaced. It took about 20 minutes to go through the entire house.
Some favs; The Dentist, the Trophy room, RUBY…oh…..and nobody puts Baby in a corner! At least not this BABY! WOW!
Overall very entertaining although, maybe not as in your face as years past.
Still my favorite event. Well run and always worth every penny! We go here every year and as usual, this event is still one of the top Haunts in Wisconsin.

Looking to hit up a few haunts in one night? Why not go where you can hit three in one stop? The Burial Chamber offers three high-quality and high-scare haunts, as well as a coffin simulator all in one place! Two of the haunts, Adrenaline and Insanity, take place in a huge warehouse and Phobia takes place in the woods. The coffin simulator places you inside a real coffin, which moves and shakes while playing sounds of your own burial. All offer different and unique experiences that will have you terrified and completely entertained. This is THE place to go if you are an avid haunt seeker. Get there early and enjoy the terror that awaits you!

WOW! What a fabulous show. There is nothing scarier than finding yourself in the woods after dark. The attraction is quite extensive and really worth the money The horror movies with pop corn in the inside waiting area were great. After the woods they have a hugh club house with hot food and drink for partying including all ages. The best Halloween show I have ever seen. Go for it.
Once is not enough for this very scary walk in the woods.

Save your money, not scary, not even fun.
Long wait in a hay filled barn, walk up hill to "haunted" mine, this is the only part that was ok (just ok), then to a "haunted hay ride" very predictable, then a walk through the woods and a "cornfield" (not a maze) with people "hiding in the corn to say "Raaar". we drove 1 1/2 hours to get there and was very disappointed.
If you truely like Scary Haunted Houses then dont waste your time or money on this one.

If you're looking to totally immerse yourself into a nightmarishly good time, look no further. This year's Mars Haunted House once again offers an immersive experience that will excite your senses. Sets and passage ways are elaborately decorated with a keen attention to detail to provide ample visual stimulation. Encounters with ghouls seeking not only to scare the bajeezus out of you but also to creep you out make for both a bloodcurdling and chilling experience.
Traditionally I have declared this attraction to be Milwaukee's Scariest haunt. This year's edition of the Mars Haunted House once again makes a good case to continue as the area's top attraction. If you've enjoyed Mars in the past or if your just looking for a good scare or two you certainly won't be disappointed this year.
If you're into evaluating haunts with your senses you might find this helpful:
* Sight: Elaborate sets with great attention to detail. Lighting and
special effects were frequently used to surprise me even though I was expecting
it.
*Sound: Superb! The sound experience allowed me to become totally
immersed in many of the rooms….especially immediately upon entering this haunt!
* Smell: Ever wonder what death smells like? …you’ll know the answer by the time you
depart this haunt.
* Touch: Feel the splatter of
blood or a reaper breathing down your neck!
The performance of the characters outside was exceptional! Inside the haunt the actors’
focused more on scaring the bejeezus out of you than entertaining you.
Definitely worth checking out! With the total immersion and interaction with the actors and
sound in each room it's very easy to miss some of the attention to detail found in each room.... there are plenty of outstanding effects to keep you visually entertained when you’re not jumping out of your skin. As was the case last year…at the risk of giving away one of the best effects found at this haunt the ”Laser Vortex” is definitely worth checking out.
About 10-12 minutes
Waiting line is clearly roped off and patrolled frequently by ghouls.
In addition to stimulating your sense of sight, sound and feel the Mar’s Haunt this year also excites your sense of smell. The smell of death was quite prevalent through many of the rooms I visited. The stench was so strong it seemed to linger in my nostrils well after my departure.
