I attended Scare USA on Friday. It was kind of a boring wait line, could have been something there besides a line. I liked how they verbally go over rules before you enter the house, it reminds customers not to touch the actors and such. I was told a couple times to "get out" and I was a little disappointed because I paid to go through the haunt, not to be told to get out... The sets were pretty neat. A lot of times I heard sounds thinking I was going to see an animatronic and it turned out to be an actor playing along with the sounds, which was cool. I did no like that almost every actor was wearing a mask, it takes away that realism that comes with makeup on actors. Not to spoil anything, but the camera bit they do at the end is a good idea.
Cool place, especially being located on a marina, I think.

I visited Scare USA in a group of 4 on a Saturday night at 9:30. They had very visible signs and a lot of open parking with someone directing traffic. This haunt is cash only, but is located right next to a bar with an ATM. This was also the first haunt where I was asked to remove my bag (a bag I use specially for haunts or festivals, as it hugs very close to the body). However, once I was inside, I immediately understood why, at this was one of the most narrow haunts I have been to!
Although it definitely added to feelings of anxiety (and therefore, it’s scariness) I would not advise Scare USA for anyone with extreme claustrophobia or those who are a bit heavier – I myself am a plus-sized woman and I was squeezing through some areas. For those who don’t mind, though, the tight corridors and corners will only add to the feeling of apprehension that Scare USA created. With great timing and a willingness to be close, their actors also gave it their all, and even those just standing in the way had to be edged around, sometimes covering or guiding us to hidden exits and doors. They definitely took advantage of all of their space, using the halls and lights to truly disorientate. They also covered all the senses with their scares – there were a lot of vivid, gross smells and elements that almost “fell” onto us.
It was also a fairly long haunt; about 30 minutes or so. We had almost no wait on a Saturday night and it was very reasonably priced. We also enjoyed visiting the bar/restaurant located next door to the haunt afterwards!
