I've been going to the Haunted Barn for the last 5 years or so. Every year it's been getting better and better and I was terribly sad when I learned that 2013 would be its final year. This place is wonderful and it's abundantly clear that it was a labor of love for the operators. I work at another Haunt in the area and therefore somewhat immune to some of the things that would scare other people. That said, some of the best scares and moments of wide-eyed "I can't believe they took the time to build this set" have come from Stoughton's homegrown Haunted Barn.

It's actors are always professional, enthusiastic, and stay in-character for the best experience. They've invested a great deal in high-quality props, costumes, and sets. It's also clear that many of the actors take a lot of personal time to prepare their costume and makeup (something that this veteran haunter appreciates a great deal!) This year's haunt (Oct. 2013) took us nearly an hour to go through! They've taken the time to build a MASSIVE outdoor maze full of actors, props, elaborate setpieces, and genuine scares this year. We genuinely got lost several times in the maze which made for a great experience. Who wants to be led by the nose through a maze, after all? It's a maze for a reason!

Kudos to the owners, operators, engineers, and actors of the Haunted Barn (just east of Stoughton on Hwy 51/Main Street). I'm genuinely sad that this will be the final season but wanted to give them an enthusiastic thumbs up for all they've done over the years. I hope they have a great season this year and maybe, just maybe will reconsider their decision to wrap it up....

Thanks for the GREAT scares this year and in the past.

A group of 8 of us drove out to Janesville and Stoughton for a great night of haunting. I was most excited by the idea of an hour long haunted forest walk. Unfortunately, a long walk was about all we got. There was almost nothing here. I know that outdoor haunts can be challenging, due to the need to run power, etc., but this didn't even seem like anyone was trying. We still had fun, but they really need to put some work in to this haunt if they want it to be successful.

BEST EVER!!! Awesome attention to detail! New things every year. This has become a family tradition for Halloween. The Staff is wonderful and helpful.

Every year I go to this haunted house they just get better and better! This year they added clowns and let me tell you clowns are definitely not my cup of tea but I did survive. It seemed like everywhere you went there was a new monster just waiting to do it's bidding on you and you never knew what to expect. I will definitely be back to see this event in years to come!

One couldn't ask for a better night attend a Haunted House! First the weather; perfect setting! Ominous, foreboding winds stirring up decaying leaves to the point of whirling eddies within the parking lot of Sheboygan's 'Dominion of Terror'; October, gearing its grinding teeth full throttle right at my face! ... This alone made it the perfect night for a Halloween haunt! I could've traveled 350 miles south to one of those 'most feared' places to take a ghost tour such as 'Bobby Mackey's in Wilder, Kentucky, to get my adrenalin rushing, but I didn't have to, WE have a true gem right in our backyard in the DOT. The opening sequence initiated 'panic mode' from Mother Goose having our group sit down in linear fashion while heeding us to obey the rules which were magically 'appearing' on the wall in front of us! I knew, as well as my group that we were in for a wild ride ahead! My intuitions were dead on of course; the monsters within seemed to be in their niche, almost to the point knowing their role for eternity, from slithering zombies to skulking sycophants of the dead, the 'fairy-tailed' theme decked itself out with full atrocity, with one thinking..'Can all fairy-tails be so bad???'' True to be known, as I myself had witnessed, they can take a sour-turn for the worst! I have been to over 100 different 'haunted house's throughout my 38 years, but what really stood out with the DOMINION OF TERROR is that the rooms and themes are different EVERY year, so if you come here expecting the same from last year, leave your underwear at home or bring an extra pair. This was by far with in the top 5 haunted houses I personally stepped into. Well done and thoroughly recommended!

Wow! As a 42 year old horror and haunt enthusiast, I've got pretty high standards. I grew up in Detroit, where there are hundreds of haunted house. Ive been to 100's of haunted houses over the years and been to many of the top haunts in the country. With that being said, I was completely blown away last night. You guys have an amazing thing going. Great props, great scenes, great actors, great line queuing, great staff...Then, we went through Pandemonium. This was the first time I've experienced a haunt like that. Again, I was blown away. Very creative.... This was the 8th haunted attraction that we went to this year. We drove two hours to get to Dr. Scary's and are going to drive 2 hours back tonight so that we can bring a bunch of our friends. Thanks for an awesome night!!

Easy to find, well lite, nice concessions. We went with a group of 6 people and were led to the woods in a hearse! We then got onto a bridge and a giant flame flew out of the water which was crazy!!! The rest of the haunt was good the pirates were cool, the guy with a machete and chains was just scary. After that point we were all pretty scared. The trucks that came at us made me feel like I was on the road. This place has really changed a lot.

This was our second time to this haunt and I would have to say it is amazing. It was easy to find, well lite, and the
front area was organized with all types of cool stuff. I wish there were more actors in the front when we went. Here are some of my favorite parts and thoughts. The people that work there are super nice and do a great job. However, I would like to of had more interaction with some of the actors then just a pop up. I wanted them to interact..get in my face and torment us. I liked a woman who called herself sinister, she was interactive and pretty awesome. Inside the haunt the details were great and the actors on cue. I wish there was some brighter areas, the overall haunt is very dark, just a few spots with more lighting so we can see the cool costumes and makeup more. Favorite scenes: the lunch lady with her stove of yuck, just would've loved more interaction. The sparks/tesla coils?? were awesome. The planking girl, if you saw her you would know who she is, she looked like a human mounted on the wall! Creepiest part the girl who looked like she was really hanging from the ceiling by her neck! The best actor was the janitor! I cannot say enough about his persona. He was funny, talkative, looked the part, and just fun! I also heard a chainsaw at the end but never saw the guy even come out. We were only a group of four and it was a slow night. Oh and the vortex, ahhhhh I like it but hate it!

Nice long hayride through some lovely preservation land. Several actors of varying ages make it a much more family oriented event rather than a "scare". Worth the drive, even if all you do is ride a wagon and hang out by the community fire. No touching at this haunt, which is nice.

Wasn't a bad haunt. Would have liked it better if the actors had been more into it, and if it hadn't been a touch-heavy haunt. Was grabbed a few times, and body checked once. Had a few nice features, though.

IT'S THE BEST!!! Lotsof creative unexpected scares. Hats off to all the tech. guys and the great special effects. A MUST SEE! Well worth the drive and wait in line!

Wow, this was a great Haunted House, we went to all three houses and I was startled several times in each house. I am not that easy to scare but they managed to get me to jump. I don't like creepy clowns so the carnevil house really freaked me out. The place with the stables had some interesting charaters and aweful smells, Morgan Manor was very entertaining and creepy. Great job

We had a great time at this haunted house, I am really hard to scare but still enjoyed the show. We went through both haunted houses and Pandimonium is a great idea but got a bit frustrating after a while, Great place though!!!
