Signage / Visibility / Location
It was easy to find from the directions given, but we also saw signs pointing the way. We knew we had the right place when we saw the big, lighted marquee sign in front. Can't miss it!!!
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
I liked the little shop you enter through and the fact you have somewhere to wait if the weather is bad.
Most Unique
Loved the coffin, don't want to know how they got it.
Actors' Performance
The actors were pretty good. I liked the fact they incorporated kids into their plans. Cornfield was just creepy.
Appropriate For
I would say older kids and adults at night
Summary
It wasn't the scariest I've been to, but enjoyed it for the price.

Most Unique
It was unique because it was in a tall cornfield.
Actors' Performance
The actors performance was okay, it wasn't bad but wasn't the greatest either
Appropriate For
Anyone
Summary
They misadvertised this event, there were maybe 20 actors when they said there would be 130, it was not scary at all, they said the scare factor was very high and it was very low, I could have taken my 7 year old nephew there and he would have been fine when they say you should be 12. They also advertised it would be 40-50 minutes and it was only maybe 20 minutes, and most of it was just walking through their trail and once in a great while an actor would pop out.

Signage / Visibility / Location
The sinage is moderate. It would help if the signs were bigger. Otherwise visibility and location were okay.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The waiting area was heated with food, and the wait was short.
Most Unique
There is a room full of dots and that's all I will say.
Actors' Performance
The actors were good considering it was the second night they were open.
Appropriate For

Summary
One thing I thought was really good was that there's a haunted house, haunted hayride, haunted trail, and haunted corn maze for one price. It's a lot of entertainment.

Very Clear, but I also live around there.

AWSOME JOB!! Actors crawling around the "holding cages" scaring your before you get into the haunt. Very unique!!
Most Unique
The jungle. The actors in there got me the whole way through...and you wouldn't think of a jungle as part of a haunt, but it's WICKED!!
Actors' Performance
What can I say, these guys have a morbid art for scarying the piss out of people!! You never know where they are coming from, you think the scare for one room is over and they get you at least two more times.

Bring your own cough drops, my throat is still soar from screaming!! But you'll enjoy EVERY MINUTE!!

Signage / Visibility / Location
We came from Terror On The Fox...so we asked for directions from the guy directing traffic there. He led us half way to The Morgue but we found it after a few quick turns...
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Great idea with the begining of walking threw the woods. I'd throw a few actors along the pathways but that's just me. FOOD mmm was decent loud music almost tooo loud. Otherwise cool setting with the lightings, music, video....
Most Unique
I'd have to say the length of the haunted house was the most unique. The darkness was another great add to the scare.
Actors' Performance
Not the greatest. I scared 2 actors and I wasn't even trying too. I caught a girl laughing and talking to her friend, that's not too scary. It would be if she started ripping her friends skin off but any ways...
Appropriate For
12+
Summary
Slide is always fun. My friend got his feet stuck in the bridge that DOES NOT HAVE RAILINGS! <<< that is dangerous guys! haha.....but it made it more fun cause it was dangerous! The one thing i'd try to fix is the actors outside. It is not scary seeing actors just roam around with a hot dog, soda or holding hands with another actor.

From past years we remembered how to get there, otherwise i'd think it's easy if you have directions.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
cool set design...lighting and decent music...
Most Unique
Overall it was really eye catchy...that happens every year. The cave was the best thing I think I've seen at Terror On The Fox EVER!
Actors' Performance
kinda off beat...they really are not the "in your face" kinda actors...they repeated lines from memory so it seemed...

Summary
Me and my friend have been in the haunt business for a decade...if you're going to go to this haunt...take your time going threw it! the detail is extreme. even going threw the 3D haunted section is worth the $3...

Didn't know it was in Tichigan. But was able to find it.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
There was not wait line.
Most Unique
The bridge across the swap was cool with the shotgun noise and also the ride out there in the hurse.
Actors' Performance
I went last year and it was a lot better then. The actors didn't seem all into it. The Micheal Myers scene really blew. If your going to dress the character then be in a blue jump suit. This year it seemed really down played.
Appropriate For
no one under 12
Summary
They should have went with what they did last year and just added to it. Instead of changing the whole thing.

Signage / Visibility / Location
From Milwaukee, it would have been a bit confusing if I hadnt have been as familiar with the area as I was. Once reaching the expo center however, there are signs all over the palce.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait area is nothing really special, they did have actors walking through however none of them were trying to be up in your face scary; a couple even stopped and talked with a few people in the queue line.
Most Unique
The design of the rooms; there was not much repetition so each room was a different experience.
Actors' Performance
The waiting area actors were a bit unexperienced and did not do a good job impressing me however several of the actors inside the haunt itself did a fantastic job playing their roles.
Appropriate For
12 and older
Summary
If your looking for an event that has a good layout but not necessarily the scariest of events (at least for people like me that rarely get scared). The whole event lasted approximately 20 minutes.

Signage / Visibility / Location
There was a sign out front but we had a hard time finding it because we weren't familiar with the area.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
Very entertaining, had large TV screens & music before the train and house. The music choice didn't particularly set the mood, but the actors before the house were creepy!
Most Unique
The end part of the house is like a cave. There's a surprise that was probably the scariest thing in the house in this part.
Actors' Performance
My only complaint is that one actor went out of character to tell my friends and me that we were good looking.
Appropriate For

Summary
The only thing that could really improve TOTF is adding more actors (especially on the train), but it's still early in the season so more may be coming already.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Mapquest directions took our four car train right there. There was also a large sign posted outside the grounds.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The wait was not bad, definitely no more than expected.
Most Unique
The extremely creepy girl shaking the crib was one character that stood out to members of our group, not necessarily as the most startling/scary attraction, but unique.
Actors' Performance
Performance was excellent by all actors! The settings, props, scenes, etc. added a lot to the performance as well, complementing the actors (the most amazing part) quite well.
Appropriate For
12? and up, mostly an older crowd there when we went (upper high school/college seemingly), which was good
Summary
After polling the 14 members of our group (we split into two for the actual house), the overall consensus was that this was overall the best haunted house we had attended. I've gone every Halloween to at least one haunted house, and my friends visiting are also have, and we agreed that Morgan Mansion was definitely a good choice. The reasonable price (there is no reason for $25 dollar haunts or the like) was well worth the small trip from Milwaukee. Any haunted house can be lame if you let it be, but if you try to have fun and be scared then you will be, but let's just say that at Morgan Manor I didn't have to try too hard. I went in claiming I was going to scream on purpose, just because it was more fun that way. I came out with a sore throat, but not from screaming on purpose. When trying to decide among the many haunted Wisconsin attractions, choose Morgan Manor for a good, and scary, time.

Signage / Visibility / Location
Terror on the Fox is very easy to find. It is only a little ways off of the highway. Once you pull off and turn, there is a sign pointing the way. The house is located on the grounds of the National Railroad Museum, right on the shores of the Fox River. The overall atmosphere is pretty cool. The parking area and first waiting area is next to the road, but once you board the train, the atmosphere really kicks in.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
For entertainment while waiting for the train there was a sound system blaring music by Alice Cooper and others, and video of the house being projected on a boxcar. At the house there was a video screen playing clips from the house here as well, and people dancing in strobe lights in various second floor windows. There was covered waiting for the train, but uncovered for the house.
Most Unique
The coolest part of the house was by far the cave, and the animatronics in it. I don't want to give anything away, but it will definitely take you by surprise. The cave itself was very realistic, especially since it was made out of Styrofoam.
Actors' Performance
The actors were awesome. They stayed in character the whole time, and really knew what they were doing. They did a good job with picking out the people to scare, and picking the right way to scare them. We did not catch up to any other groups, nor did any catch up to us, and we were taking our time going through it, so they did well with group spacing too. The scenery was great; it looked very realistic. Their incorporation of animatronics and live actors was perfect, not too much or too little of either.

Summary
We waited for the train for about 20 minutes, and then waited another 17 minutes or so on the train before we moved. This was because they stopped selling tickets at 11:30, and this was the last train for the night. It could change later in the month if the crowds get bigger.
The train ride took about 8 minutes. This was our first time there, so the train ride was really new to me. I thought it was cool, although the train was slower than I had hoped it would be. They had a strobe light and a fog machine on the train, as well as a few actors walking around scaring people. The only problem I noticed was after a while the fog to get sickly because there was no ventilation.
We had combo tickets, so after the train ride we went through the 3D Carnage house. It was cool seeing how the paint and scary scenes came out at you, and the vertex was pretty cool in 3D as well. There were only a few actors inside this part and it only took three minutes to walk through. Overall, it's worth the $3.00 extra, but only once, and only if you want to walk through the vertex.
After the 3D house we walked a little ways through the woods to wait in line for the main attraction. We only had a short wait, about 8 minutes. The facade on the house was awesome. It looked like a real old mansion, but it was mostly made of semi trailers. It was by far the coolest looking house I have been at. It was smaller in person than what it looks like in advertisements and on the video screens, but it was cool nonetheless.
Overall it was very well done. The whole experience starting out with the train and ending up at the house is cool. Almost everything about this haunt is unique and different from any other house I have been to. The staff was great, actors and non-actors. Even the guy who answered my email earlier in the day was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this haunt to anyone 13 or older; however, if you have seen a 3D house and a vertex take the non-combo ticket and save your three bucks for another house.

popcorn, soda, hot chocolate etc...
Very little wait.

Great lighted sign pointing to driveway. Rotating red siren light on barn to help visibility. Not ahrd to find at all.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
No wait time at all. Attraction starts right away with a graveyard. (very cool) Nice store area with little novelties to look at tit and purchase. There is popcorn and soda's there to purchase and enjoy along with hot chocolate.
Most Unique
Great music throughout. It seemed to play the appropriate music as you entered into the area. I don't want to give it away but when I saw Jeepers Creepers...I had been warned, and the same with Freddie.
Actors' Performance
The element of surprise is definitely there. I had a hard time distinguishing between real and fake. I was very surprised.
Appropriate For
Yes, but at night, older wouldn't hurt
Summary
Overall I thought the experience was great, well worth the money. Many areas to look at detail and they even included kids that were dressed up in the appropriate costumes for the areas. I also went out in the afternoon for the kids, they absolutely loved it. They walked throught the barn with music playing and then we went on a wagon ride. They had a blast.

Easy location to get to. Lots of signs and parking attendents help guide you in. Plenty of parking.
Wait Area / Line Entertainment
The line was long, but actors everywhere gave scares in the queue line. Great twist happens to you before going into the haunt.
Most Unique
I would have to go with the queue line entertainment and that twist they give you before going even entering the haunt. Very unique and well done.
Actors' Performance
The actors seemed to be naturals at scaring everyone. The makeup looked incredible!
Appropriate For

Summary
The layout of the haunt gets you disorineted at times and this just adds to the scares. Once you think you have made it to the exit and are safe, actors continue to hunt you down. Awesome haunt guys!
