Wisconsin Fear Grounds, what a treat this was! Three haunts in one, all three completely different. Our night began with a little confusion, as the grounds have many areas , and not all of them are haunt related! We arrived only to discover we went to the wrong area. This was totally our fault as there were signs directing us to the haunt, that we missed. Once we finally made it to the right area, things ran smoothly. Tickets and concessions along with port-o-pottys are readily available. We got our tickets and headed into a short waiting area. The line wasn't too ling and was entertaining due to a television that was running a loop of one of the hallways in the haunt. You could see, thanks to night vision, some visitors being scared, some to the point of falling! Next, we were herded up like cattle and lead to a pen, where I can only guess houses cows during the fair season. The pen was entertaining because just when you thought it was just another waiting area, out come some ghouls to get you! They were great, smelling us and telling my girlfriend she had gone bad! After the pen, we were led to the first of three haunts...
Morgan Manor: Manor was great, reminiscent of haunts I attended as a child, relying heavily on props and ambiance to scare you. There were few actors in here, but the decoration and effort they had to put in payed off. Loud sounds, darkness, and ghoulish props made manor very fun and creepy. This haunt lasted about 10-15 minutes, after we exited, there was a path that led to the next haunt...
Morgans Torment: Torment was the best of the three haunts. Torment utilizes darkness, which is always my favorite feature of a haunt. The best part of the house was the vinyl balloonish material on the walls and ceiling to give you that claustrophobic feeling as you have to SQUEEZE your way though these hallways. It was great! I have experienced this before, but my girlfriend had never, and it totally blew her mind! There were a few actors in this house, which played there parts very well, separating us from the rest of the group to add an additional scare to those who fear abandonment!
Unstable: Unstable was a the most actor friendly of the three houses. You are first greeted by a tall goat man, who talks similar to Jim Breuer's "Goat Boy" character on SNL, he was a laugh riot, very funny. This haunt was very much like walking though an insane asylum, lots of crazies, and creepy rednecks! The actors were very into what they were doing and committed, no pun intended, to spooking you out!
