This year's Monster Mayhem is definitely unlike any other Halloween attraction I've ever attended. By far it was the most fun I've ever had at a haunt.
Taking participation to a whole new level Monster Mayhem not only allows you to roam freely through rooms and hallways it also allows you to hunt and be hunted by the creatures lurking around the maze of rooms. As a bonus, you can also go rogue on your fellow haunt goers and hunt them down as well. (...this practice is actually encouraged.)
Also unlike other haunts this attraction offers fun for all ages...kids, parents and grandparents alike. I must admit, I was a bit nervous when I entered with a group of 12 as in most cases this results in being crammed tightly into small rooms where you struggle to see the action. But this venue
accommodated our group easily and the large group size actually made the action even more enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed watching a spirited mother of several young kids hunt them down and then shoot them cold heartedly in the back....several times! (...she did later admit that she may have gotten a bit carried away.)
While Monster Mayhem may not be the scariest haunt you visit this year it will make a strong case for being the most fun haunted attraction you attend this year!

What else is there to do in Green Bay when the Packers are on the road? Check out the Green Bay Fear. It’s part party/part haunt for a spooky good time. For an extra $10 you can get the VIP treatment and more entertainment, which I cover below in the Wait Area section. Whichever you choose, both take you through the haunted woods to the haunted mansion. The walk through the woods includes scares along the way. The mansion looks impressive on the outside and all the way to the inside. You begin with instructions from a man with his mouth sewn shut, so getting instruction was interesting and fun. You’re given a pair of 3D glasses that bring out colors and markings on the wall and the glasses keep you feeling uneasy. The actors go to great lengths to keep with their characters and make the haunt memorable.

Way AWESOME! This is one of the greatest haunts I have been through. I came with my friends and have been coming to haunts all over Wisconsin - screamed the whole time.
It is dark and creepy in places, things coming from the walls, and actors coming at you from everywhere. I screamed through the whole tour, everywhere I looked, there was someone there to jump out to scare me. The face makeup was outstanding! Kudos to the makeup people. There are things in this haunt to scare everyone, I highly recommend it!
Everything is so well planned, from the time I purchased my ticket, throught the tour and even an exit interview. They really take the time to make sure you have a very scary, yet enjoyable visit. Concessions were available after the haunt.
Must see if you like an awesome scare.

this haunt is great. some of the 'rooms' were a bit predictable, and others were amazing. "Love the elevator!'
I drove about am hour with friends to this haunt. We visit this one every year. It is a fundraiser for the school that the haunted house is run by. Actors could be scarier, butI am a person that likes to be scared as well as entertained. This haunt is a must see, it is great.

Oh my GOSH! This is one of the greatest haunts I have been through. I came with my friends and have been coming to haunts all over Wisconsin for over 20 yrs.

I screamed through the whole tour, everywhere I looked, there was someone there to jump out to scare me. The face makeup was outstanding! Kudos to the makeup people. There are things in this haunt to scare everyone, I highly recommend it!
We drove 2 hours to come to this haunt. Everything is so well planned, from the time I purchased my ticket, throught the tour and even an exit interview. They really take the time to make sure you have a very scary, yet enjoyable visit. They even have concessions, which is great for when I needed to quench my thirst after the screamfest I just experienced! I will be visiting again this year, and bringing more friends!
Totally a great haunt! One of the best I have been through.

This haunt was exactly all that I expected & more! I attended with my 13-yr old & her friend on Friday the 7th. It was very easy to find using the map on my cell phone. There was plenty of parking & the lady shriners not only pointed you in the right direction, but also wished you luck & hoped you made it out alive! You can purchase the general admission for $15 or the RIP admission for $25. I highly recommend the RIP because you get a few nice perks, including getting bumped ahead of the general admission line, a cool Green Bay Fear t-shirt & before entering, you can enjoy a local band & sip hot cocoa. After being admitted into the woods by a big, ugly clown, you will meet plenty of evil creatures lurking about. They will continually harass you (in a good, fun way) until you reach the point where it splits into the RIP & general admission lines. Upon entering the RIP area, where your wrist band gets checked again, you are given your tshirt, $5 off coupon to Halloween Express & a cup of hot cocoa. We sat by one of the fires & listened to the rock music for about a half hour before heading on the path to the house. Groups of people are lead up the stairs to the porch to wait for the "butler" to usher you inside. By the way, his mouth is sewn shut but he still tries talking to you. This is a 3D haunt, so you are then given your 3D glasses which you must wear throughout the entire walk. There are a lot of twists & turns & plenty of good scares. When you think you have reached the exit, it just leads you through an iron maze outside & back into the house through another door.

I would say that Mars Haunted House has done a really good job this year again. Keeping things fresh, it was nice to see some new added sets and props from previous years as well as new actors and characters. It is also nice to see some from previous years make a return as well. I feel Mars Haunted House's has some of the best actors working the waiting area. They are always done up in the BEST costumes and do a great job at keeping you entertained and they add a lot to the fun! Inside you will find very detailed sets and good props as well as edger actors ready to frighten you! I would say this haunt is best for teens and adults, but they do have a day where you can take kids and the scare factor is not as high as on a common night. I would say this is a haunted house worth checking out if you haven't already and since I have been going for 8 or 9 years, it is obviously one I feel is worth revisiting as well!

Dr. Scary's was even better than last year!!! We were freaked out before we even entered by a guy running around and through the crowd. The house itself is larger than last year, so they had more rooms. There were more big scares with new props. We just about p**d ourselves from some of the actors. We expected the chain saw guy to be last, but he wasn't, which took the fright factor to a whole new level. Just like I wouldn't want to tell you all the highlights of a movie, I'm going to leave it at that. This is a definite MUST for those who want a good scare or to laugh at your friends! But be warned, your friends may end up laughing at YOU! Also, I don't recommend this one for little kids--it's too scary. Definitely worth a drive from hours away! We found it last year from this website. Thanks! We will spread the word.
-big scares from beginning to end
-actors stayed in character
-located between Milwaukee & Madison and Beloit & Watertown

One of the scariest haunted houses I have ever been to. I was there on the night they opened, as more of a dare from friends. The actors in the houses seemed to be brushing off their skills since it was opening night, but that didn't stop me from being really scared. The actors did a great job making me cover my face into my friends shoulder. The best acting was in the first haunted house, but that didn't stop the other two from working really hard. The fact that there are three houses for the price of one is sweet, and I had a $5 coupon from an applebees which made it even better! All three of the houses were totally different, each giving a totally different scare. The first one was very classic haunted house, where you feel like you go through a house with all of the classic moments, although very classic in feel there are some really cool effects, and the theme was very cool and stayed through. The second house was more scares on your senses which was my favorite! The third house was all acting and gross out scares, made me regret my dinner a bit, but it was cool to see never the less! People should see this, it is a good night of entertainment, laughs, and screams. These people are really good and what they do, and work really hard for it.

I got here at around 830. There was not a very long line. The wait to enter the hunt was about 10 minutes. We then walked into the inside waiting area and waited another 5 minutes. after the rules were told to us we walked up the stairs into the haunt. Started in the black maze, the black maze was extremely long. After the black maze the actual hospital scenes started. The sets were amazing this year compared to last year. Dollie girl was amazing. Great acting by all actors. Second floor was 3 d. Was kind of boring.
This haunt needed more actors and more intensity. Some scares were actually kind of early. The haunt flowed very nicely. I would definitely recommend this haunt to anybody under 17.

Welcome to Wisconsin Feargrounds were all your nightmares come true. From ghoulish beasts, to crazy hillbillies, this haunt has it all. Wisconsin Feargrounds has consistently remained one of America's and Wisconsin's top haunted attractions. I now can see why.
This was actually my first year at this haunt and I was excited from the get-go. Although this haunt may appear over the top a lot of time and energy went into throwing you into a very twisted and dark world. I was incredibly impressed by the scenes, props, and special effects. Even if you "don't get scared" this is a haunt just to check out for incredible attention to detail, fun obstacles, traps, and passageways.
What is also amazing are this haunt's prices. When some single haunts are charging 15 to 20 dollars for entry, Wisconsin Feargrounds has 3 (yes three) haunted houses available for only 30 dollars. That is surprising in and of itself without even being inside the houses yet. Being able to walk through a different world, while being scared by professionals...that is what I call a deal.
Now on to the nitty gritty. How were the haunted houses? Well let's break them down.
Morgan Manor
This is your "classic" haunt. Morgan Manor leads you through a once proud mansion that has now been corrupted by evil. Morgan Manor uses some of the classic haunted house tricks and scares. All the actors were top notch and stayed in character throughout. This house was fun and the scenes were absolutely amazing, detailed, and realistic. If this is the only house you do it will still be a fun night.
Morgana's Torment
I'll be honest I did not know what this house was. This house is full of obstacles. From pitch black corridors, to walls that squeeze you tight, to disorienting lighting effects, I never knew where I was. I only knew I had to keep going forward. The actors use this confusing labyrinth to their advantage and made some great scares. Just the mere fact of being "lost" and constantly turned around is enough to frighten some people. Morgana's Torment is quite simply a really twisted version of a fun house.
Unstable
I don't know what was scarier in this haunt. The crazed hillbilly farm hands running around or some of the aromas that I smelled inside of Unstable. Again the attention to detail by this haunt operator is shown quite well. There is no question that you are in a stable from sight AND smell. This winding and twisting haunt provides for some really good scares especially as, you alone, try to figure out what is just an empty stable and what is the actual path through the barn. This haunt was fun, and the actors really put there all into forming a world right out of a horror film. A word of advice...hold you nose at Unstable's hillbilly restroom and, oh yes, give Bezel my regards.

Location: Easy to find in Oconomowoc.
Parking:Because it is an old high school, there is plenty of parking.
Waiting area: They are using the old gym as the waiting area. Plenty of space and indoors so need to worry about the weather. They do have refreshments for sale, and a big screen showing horror movies. Because it was late, we did not have to wait at all.
Haunt: They play into the fact that this was a old school and the whole haunt is based on the fact that high school is hell. The haunt took over 30 minutes to get through. Each room is 1 hour of your school day. Some really great effects using sensors so they are always timed right. The rooms are set up well and really use the space they have. You will walk up and down stairs and ramps. Liked the fact that each room had a very different feel and that they were trying to effect your senses in different ways. Downside is that the haunt uses a lot of teenagers to staff the haunt. We saw many actors take off their mask and drop out of character. We were also run over by some actors trying to get back to their mark as we entered the room. They could have used some music in some areas to help the feel of the room. The best room of the whole house is the glee club. Loved that everyone in that room really got into it.
Fun house that for $15 was worth it to me. Great house for people who hate clowns as there are none! If you are looking for a house in the metro-Milwaukee area, I would recommend.

Location: Haunt is located on a farm. Easy to find as they have lighted signs to direct you. The only down side is the road you have to drive down is a small farm road so hard for cars to go both ways on the road.
Parking: As it is on a farm, there is plenty on parking on their grass field.
Price: At $15 the price is great for the amount you get.
Length: Total time is around 1 hour
Waiting Area: They have you wait in a barn that has hay to direct you around the barn. Actors hiding out to scare you while you wait. The only down side is you spend a lot of time standing in there. The haunt takes people in groups of 20 or so, so you will stand in the same place for a while. Would have like to see a seating area where they called numbers. They do have refreshments, but they are located in the outer part of the barn. If we had known, we would have gotten something before we entered the line area.
Haunt: Haunt is split into a haunted mine, haunted hay ride, walk through a haunted woods and then a corn field. The haunted mine had some great effects and lots of actors. The down side is they relied on the dropped hole in the wall and screaming at you a bit to much. At the end of the mine, you wait by a fire for the rest of the 20 people in your group. Some great actors out there to keep you entertained. Then you get on the hay ride. At this point all the actors from the house come out and continue to scare you as you ride off. The ride takes a while to get to the area where the scares are. Would have liked to see them do something along the way. The actors in the ride area are great and will jump up and sit next to you. Some really great elements along the ride. I don't want to spoil it but there will be at least one scare that will get you to jump out of your seat. They drop you off in the woods, where you wait to walk back. They send everyone in small groups of 2-3 people. They have a fire to keep you warm while you wait. The woods and cornfield were a disappointment. There were not enough actors to provide a good scare, and the scenes they set up were not complete. The best scare and actor was ruined by seeing him attack the groups before us.
Overall a fun haunt for the money. Great for families as it is not too scary and allows a parent to pair up with their kid for a bonding event. If you do a lot of houses like me, you will not find it scary.

The guys at Splatter Haus put on a hell of a show yet again. We got our tickets with a lot of the people in the waiting area. A movie was showing on a huge projection screen. We played a video game called "The Defecator" $1 for 2 scares in the haunt, lots of fun to play. We stuck at least $10 into it, way too much fun watching the reactions of the people going through. Before we knew it our wait was up, time to scream! The haunt was great, lots of rooms that I had never seen before, in any haunt. Actors spot on as normal. My opinion the best haunt I've been to this year! Well done splatter Haus crew, well done.
Lots of fun with things to do while you wait. Bring singles to play "The Defecator" 2 scares for a buck can't beat that

My wife and I attended The Haunted Barn last year and returned again in 2011 to find the same familiar friendly environment, with enough changes to make the haunt refreshingly interesting. An actor dressed like Beetlejuice greeted all visitors and played the role especially well, priming us for some good scary fun. Visitors were spaced apart nicely so we were not bumping into people who entered the haunt ahead of us.
There are three haunted locations on site and they each offer unique experiences, though we saw fewer actors this year. Some additional actors located throughout the trek would have added more fear factor and suspense.
A worthwhile haunt to include in your search for scary fun this Halloween season.
