Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

There was a sign on the side of the building and the front had some skull design in the window with flashing lights. Pretty easy to see.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

There was this creepy chick walking throught the line. My girlfriend didn't see her until it was too late and when she turned around, the creepy chick made this hideous noise and scared the crap out of my girlfriend.

Most Unique

The moving floor was cool. The flashing light and moving floor really tripped us all out.

Actors' Performance

They came out from everywhere. Just when you thought they would come from a corner, BAM they would get you from somewhere else. The morgue guy was crazy. The clowns were creepy but awesome. They had this cemetery room where people were jumping out from everywhere. Half our group ended up running away from us screaming. They got us good.

Summary

We come to Mars every year and this year by far has been the best. They changed it up a lot from last year. Just awesome! We will be back!!

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find, lots of signs to guide you.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Good information on the history of the home.

Most Unique

Some of the rooms were exceptional. I don't want to give away any surprises, but it was one of the best haunts we've attended. Things happened you wouldn't expect.

Actors' Performance

Very good. We were scared! There were many actors and they all stayed in character through the entire haunt. They were great.

Appropriate For

10 and up

Summary

We had a great time. There was a tent across the street with snacks, lots of street parking available.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find. Milwaukee area.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

No ticket/number system, you have to wait in line. We did not wait long. There is no entertainment in line.

Most Unique

Length. Large number of scenes within the corn maze.

Actors' Performance

Big disappointment. Zero intensity. The security guards scarier than the actors. There should be more actors and less security. The secuity guards should at least be disguised. We were the last group of the night to go through and we had about 20 actors, minus their masks, following closely behind us and talking loudly. This ruined our experience. If they were in such a big hurry to leave, they could have at least stayed in character while following us out of the maze. That would have have been really creepy! Even though we were last, we paid the full amoun1t and deserve the full experience

Appropriate For

any

Summary

The opening scene was the scariest part. Better use of the space could have easily made it more terrifying. It could be used as an "on deck" area for multiple groups. That would be a frightening prelude to the maze.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find Location at the State Fair Park, right off 84th and greenfield. I think it was gate 4. It was in the same building where they make the creampuffs during state fair.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The courtyard between the two haunted houses was cool and creepily lit up. Theres a tent with a DJ and games. But thats really for after the haunts since you have to wait in lines to get into them. I like Splatterhaus' numbered ticket system better, but it was a sunday so the wait wasn't long. characters from the houses would occasionally pop out to spook the crowd.

Most Unique

They had two haunts at one spot so you could choose to do one or the other or both. The 3D is still pretty unique and its even better than last year. I like pirates so the outdoor area made me happy.

Actors' Performance

The actors were really cool. They really made both houses feel unique. The 3d factory was full of manic, intence characters that seemed to come from everywhere. The illusions hid them so well sometimes that you couldn't help but get surprised. meanwhile outdoors the pirates and zombies were really creepy and scary and you honestly thought a couple of them were gonna eat you. Overall for a sunday, when I know its kinda slow, the actors kept things going and were awesome despite the cold, from what the guy out front told me, there are usually 20 more actors on fridays and saturdays and If I wanted to volunteer I could. I can't, but I definately want to see the show with even more action.

Appropriate For

outdoor 10+, indoor 12+

Summary

Awesome sets and scenes, I'm hard to scare and they got me a couple of times. Scare factor is only a four because I'm a guy who doesn't get very scared, but it was still very cool. Wish I had the time to volunteer, it seems like a lot of fun.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Directions on website and light-up sign made it easy to find this building.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Music and entertainment from local radio station.

Most Unique

There was a subway station and subway car that looked very realistic. The subway card doors even worked. I have never seen this type of room done before.

Actors' Performance

Unlike animatronics, the actors timed out the scares perfectly. They knew who and when to scare. Multiple scares made sure that everyone was caught off guard.

Appropriate For

13+

Summary

This building is very old and dark. The outside appearance gets you into the mood, and the always creaking floors keeps you looking behind your back. This building is just creepy.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

This was not hard to find, with a car load of people, pumped for the haunt, the drive from Milwaukee was not bad, and well worth it.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

The wait area inside would be very nice on a cold or rainy night.

Most Unique

Roaches and pumpkins, oh my!

Actors' Performance

I thought the actors did a great job, cool costumes and awesome makeup.The zombie in a graveyard I thought was fake until he came at us.

Appropriate For

Summary

I went through this haunt last year with some different people, and was expecting the same, but to my screaming surprise, it was way different.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Easy to find, Could have had a few more signs.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Wait was very short and fast!

Most Unique

The train is definetly the most unique! There is also one part in the house, which is awesome! It messes with your perception, was very illusional.

Actors' Performance

Performers were exceptional during the train ride. Actors also did an ok job in the house. We just didn't get many scares from them.

Appropriate For

16 and under

Summary

We were not very impressed by this years performance. Through the house it was always light enough to see everyone in our group. We were hoping for more scares, and much more darkness.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

Large lighted rooftop sign. Very visible. VERY COOL creepy old 1800s factory/warehouse building.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

Nice outdoor wait area - well laid out. Music and live radio broadcasts from area station.

Most Unique

Creepy forest was unique because it both looked very cool and made me jump more than once. Old shack comes in a close second for design and it's hanging "displays" (don't want to give it away). The graveyard is also very good looking, nicely detailed and scary display that's worth seeing.

Actors' Performance

Most were very good. Some were kinda weak and could step it up a notch. The nice thing was that most rooms had more than one scare. They got me when I least expected it (which is hard to do).

Appropriate For

10 and older

Summary

Overall, it made me jump more times that I care to admit. It also had a genuine erieness to it (not just the displays, but the building itself too)which really added to the experience.

Review

Signage / Visibility / Location

it's best just to follow mapquest.

Wait Area / Line Entertainment

the bonfire was a good idea, but the wait was still bothersome. not enough entertainment.

Most Unique

the only haunted house i was more focused on scaring someone else than trying not to enjoy it myself.

Actors' Performance

they were able to scare my friend's girlfriend. i saw most of them before we reached them. the actors relied mostly on the jump-out-and-scream technique. some were made to appear as inanimate, but were easily distinguishable.

Appropriate For

Summary

too many strobes, too many fog machines. they took away from the experience. i was in front, and was annoyed at the fact that the strobes were blinding me.
