Signage / Visibility / Location

There isn't a sign off of the road, just look for the halloween lights and you really can't miss it.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait wasn't as bad as orginally thought. They take pretty big groups and so the line goes by pretty quickly.

Length

We wait in line about 35 minutes but when we got out, there wasn't even a line to get in. The length of the event was a good time, right in between.

Actors' Performance

The actors were good..scared us..didn't talk to us which kept the illusion.

Appropriate For

15

Summary

This was defintely worth the money. I enjoyed the walk through the woods along with the sites that were "scary". Great ambiance throughout the woods..was lit up..Great job!! Something I would recommend seeing.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Good location. Very easy to find. Looks awesome at night.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Had some people wondering around outside before it opened at 7pm. They may want to have their staff arrive alittle earlier then they do. Kind of spoils it when they are arriving in full makeup and costume as your standing in line.

Length

Didn't have much a wait. Got in relatively quick.

Actors' Performance

Most actors did a great job. There was a few areas that didn't have an actors in them.

Appropriate For

Summary

Would recommend Burial Chamber.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

good signs

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was a bon fire, monsters walking around, food. It was outside waiting.

Length

Our wait time was minimal, maybe 15 minutes. Unfort. I was not impressed with the length of time in the haunt. We were in there for maybe at max 15 minutes. Almost felt rushed out.

Actors' Performance

Actors performance was excellent though. The creepy part about being at the end of a line is that someone can sneak and follow you.

Appropriate For

above 13

Summary

For quality I only gave you a 3 bec. of the length I was in the haunt. Just seemed that we should've been in there a lot longer.

Summary

I think it was a step down from last year. It had some good areas and it is still worth going to. I do think they should of kept the price at $8, but since it is for charity I can do the $10

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Must be looking for the road sign, slightly small. It is 7.2 miles from the turn off going south on hwy 164. The location is awesome in the woods. The vinette's where there are mazes and theme's are great. The hearse broke down right befor we got to go into the woods, but the hayride was just as effective. The woods were lit well with the tekki-torches and the bonfires.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

We waited outside in the wind and cold so dress appropriately for the weather. You will also have to crawl through one area so be prepared for it.

Length

We had to wait for almost the hour due to the hearse breaking down and getting the tractor and hayride going. But it was worth thr goblins being able to get on to the hayride with you.

Actors' Performance

Plenty of actors, some of them quite young, not too effective. Overall, the area, scenes, music, and scare factor was great. Need to be in smaller groups, we were in a group of 15, by the time we got to the "scarry" area the effect was already over.

Great outdoor haunted experience!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Location for the Darkness was ideal due to the waiting area and how the haunted house was situated was ideal. Could have had better signs fron hwy 12 to the location at the fairgrounds.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Very nice. Inside of the auction arena, out of the wind and cold. Evil goblins harassing the patrons while they waited was a nice touch. Explanation of the haunt and where the restrooms located by Dr. Death was a nice touch. Music and lighting in the waiting arena great. The Haunted house area was one of the best special effects, layout, music, and theme rooms I've been to in many years. I participated in a haunted hotel in Texas as a teenager that has been around for over 20 years, this is up there with the quality and scare factor.

Length

30 min

Actors' Performance

Need more actors to enhance the experience. The one's they had were great and did a good job.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find with signage that was more than adequate.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

A large, well organized waiting area with the occassional ghoul walking around.

Length

Wait was less than 15 minutes and the walk through the haunted house took about the same amount of time.

Actors' Performance

ALL of the actors were great! You can tell the were having a great time, just like we were.

Summary

It was a great time going through Terror on Rural Street, if only for one reason: it scared the heck out of my wife!!!

Actually I found the house to be "scary", with new scenes around every corner. All of the "inhabitants" performed very well, and the special effects were outstanding. Going up and down the ramps and through the narrow openings in absolute darkness only added to the enjoyment.

The price was right, we got a fright, and had a good night. See you next year!!!
