Terror on Rural Street

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find, good signage

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Large heated room to wait in. Had a cool Halloween shooting game.

Length

Not much of a wait, maybe 5 minutes. Took about 20 minutes to go through house.

Actors' Performance

Could have been a little better but they were fine for opening night. Some scares came out of nowhere, well hidden

Summary

I was very impressed with what Terror on Rural Street has done this year. Rooms have a totally new look this year over what they used to be, it has more of an urban look to it and we liked it. We visited on their opening night and while some actors could have been a little better I would not hold that against them seeing as that it was their first night. Many of the scares come from out of nowhere and were well hidden. I donât know what âwiththelotusâ is talking about in their review about being bored; we were certainly anything but being bored. There is stuff happening all around you. Also not to give anything away but the end of the house is awesome, you never would expect it to happen. Once again the people at Terror on Rural Street have done a great job, I would recommend visiting this haunt.

Mars Haunted House

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

It is on a pretty busy street and can be easily missed ... they do have a sign out front, but it is among a lot of other store front buildings. Parking WILL be a pain on busy nights!

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was no entertainment, except for watching drunk people honk their horns up and down the street!

Length

No one really in the halloween mood yet, took us about 10 minutes to get in. Took about 10 minutes to go through the whole haunted house at a very slow rate.

Actors' Performance

There really weren't many actors, and then weren't very scary. There probably was about 3 "surprise" scares.

Appropriate For

10+

Summary

Lots of dark passage ways to go through, our lead kept walking into walls. I think the best thing about this haunted house is the location, its right in Milwaukee so those of us from the area that are in the mood for a little enterntainment and don't want to drive so far ... Mars is a good option.

Signage / Visibility / Location

There are signs. It is easy to find.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Some guys in masks walking around and then they stop and stare at you. When you stare back they seem to get nervous and quickly walk away.

Length

The wait was 15-20 minutes and the walk was about 20 minutes maybe more.

Actors' Performance

They didn't seem into it. I think they were more araid of us than we were of them.

Summary

This is usually one of my favorite haunted houses, but not this year. They changed it alot and in a bad way. I was bored alot. The dark hallways that go from room to room were the best part because the rest of it was really bad. There wasn't anything cool at the end either, usually there was but not this year.

Signage / Visibility / Location

Although there aren't any signs for it while on route to the location, it's easy to ge to with the directions on the website.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Trimmed down this year. While it was warm in the room and they had some consessions, they only had one pinball game and a computerized video shooting gallery. No other video games as in the past.

Length

From purchasing tix to entering the front door of the "Fusion of Fear", about 30 minutes.

Actors' Performance

Very good!!!

Appropriate For

14 and up.

Summary

Complete overhaul from years past. Usually I'm not a fan of the industrial / Sci-Fi versions of haunts. But, this haunt was a complete overhaul of years past. It was completley new with a ton of new special effects and sets! All of it done incredibly well!!!

Signage / Visibility / Location

Huge sign on the building. In State Fair Park.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Thaey had some boths to seel merch and some psychics to read your future.

Length

Since it was opening weekend, the wait was about 10 minutes.

Actors' Performance

The few actors they had were excellent, but few.

Appropriate For

12 and up.

Summary

Well, it was advertised that both the 3D maze and the Zombie Trail were to be opened for this haunt. Fo some reason the Zombie trail was not ready. So we went through the only adult haunt available, the 3D maze.

The effect of the 3D imagery coming from the walls was very cool. The few acotrs they had inside were well costumed and great at scares. However the haunt was VERY quick, well under 10 minutes. And outside of the beautiful 3D murals on the walls, there weren't that many special effects or ambience. DOn't know if it was worth the $10 for a 5 minute maze.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

There are no signs at all until you actually reach the fairgrounds. It's a little difficult finding your way around a city (even if it's small) when you aren't from there. Signs would have been majorly helpful here! The location was at the Walworth County Fairgrounds which didn't really help the creepiness at all.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

It was the first night of the haunted house and it was raining really hard, so we were really the only ones there. As far as entertainment, there was a popcorn truck, that's about it. Not much to do but stand around!

Length

As mentioned, there was no line that night so the wait to get in was almost non-existent. I would guess the average length of the actual event itself was about 10 minutes. For $10 it wasn't really worth it. I would pay maybe $6 or $7 if I went back again.

Actors' Performance

The actors kept screaming "she's coming for you...watch out!" Well, if you haven't visited the official website for the event, you really have no clue who "she" even is. That really takes away from the scare factor. For the most part, all the actors did was scream at you though. Really nothing that stood out...

Appropriate For

10 & Up

Summary

Not the worst haunted house I've been to, but definitely not the scariest either!
