It started off where i went in line to get my tickets. As i approached the ticket line i was like "There is no way im waiting in this line". I got convinced to buy my ticket. I then went into a heated waiting room with consessions. In the waiting room i saw a weird guy on stilts. He was fun and gave everyone some excitment. After waiting for about 1 hour i got called into a cemetary. In there we lined up and got ready to go into the house. As we were lining up we got told jokes and had fun. Then the FUN BEGAN!!! The whole house was excellent but there were certain rooms in particular. The room that made me PISS MY PANTS was the torture chamber. Then my next favorite part of the house was that rat. He was amazing. The statue room was good along with the hellevator before that. THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS EXCELLENT. It was definatly worth 10 dollars..

There is a heated waiting area with concessions & actors roaming but as always it is jam-packed. An hour wait for the amount of people there went fast. We try to go here every year and have attended at least 7+ years. This year the scenes were mostly the same as previous years. The actors in the haunt are good, but rather predictable. The rooms are decorated realistically with lots of stuff to look at in each room. However, when you enter a room you look at everything in the room and an actor or two across the room from you and then move to the next scene. They don't get in your face so the scare factor is lower. The actors do stay in character and try to find the most scared in the group and play on that fear.

We arrived at this haunt on Saturday about 8:30. There is a heated waiting area with concessions, but it was jam-packed. We were told it was about an hour long wait, so we asked if we could leave and come back. The ticket seller said that even if we missed our numbers being called, they would still let us in, which was pretty cool. We left for a beer and came back about 9:30. Our numbers were called shortly, and we went inside the haunt to get in a short wait line. Here our group of 4 was paired up with a family of 4. The actors in the haunt were great, but it was more like watching movie clips than actually interacting with the actors. You would enter a room, they would do their skit, and you would leave for the next room. There were many cool special effects throughout the haunt, but I prefer a good scare to effects. There was too much light, you could pretty much anticipate everything that was coming. I felt like our group of 8 was too big, there were no scares for the middle or the back of the group. Actually, the children in front of us didn't seem to worried either. This is the 3rd haunt I have been to so far, and I wasn't scared in this one at all.

Our group attended Saturday, October 18 at about 8:00. We came by busload from Milwaukee as we do every year, and let me tell you, we were not disappointed! Arriving at that time, we did have an hour and a half wait,with about 400+ people ahead of us, but it was well worth it. While we were waiting in the heated waiting area, we were thouroughly entertained by monsters, (especially the Frankenstein on stilts........) We also enjoyed watching the TV with "live feed" from inside the house. Once our numbers were called, we walked across the courtyard to the actual house. We were also entertained by the vampire telling us jokes. As we entered the mansion, we were impressed by the decorations, the actors and the makeup and costumes. (No cheesy masks here.......only what seems to be professional makeup.) There was a scare in every room, which even made my manly boyfriend scream like a little girl. Kudos, Terror on Rural Street!!!!!! PS does the "Hellevator" really move? None of us can figure it out!!!!!!

I was at Terror on Rural Street on the same night at almost the exact same time and there were probably 75-100 or more people waiting. The waiting area had several characters and creatures out to entertain the waiting crowd including a very tall (10 feet?) Frankenstein. We had about a 15 minute wait until our numbers were called. There was a heated indoor waiting area where you could watch what I think was a live video feed, as well as an outdoor area decorated as a cemetery with wrought iron gates.

The entry area into the house was new this year and featured doors that automatically open after the numbers were called. Once inside the area were we lined up was really cool. There was some more wrought iron gates leading to another cemetery scene that I am pretty sure was part of the scene at the end of the house because while we were waiting we could hear the screams as the groups went though. The actual entry was also new and look like an actual decrepit porch of a house. There was a rather nice man addressing the groups and telling some corny jokes. Not scary, but he had everyone laughing. A rather agitated "granny" beckoned us into the first room and told a brief story about the "house" and the evil within...She was very good and changed the mood immediately.

From then on it was a series of mostly well timed scares. Although some were predictable and one bordered on being corny, the were still effective.

The attention to detail is why we always come back here and this year there were some awesome scenes and FX. The make up and costumes were cool and it look like they are using a lot of latex FX's.

We always visit this place after going to one or 2 of the other events in the area because we better appreciate how they do things. Contrary to what was said in "another" review, we also appreciate the fact that he majority of the actors are ADULTS and not just teenagers that appear to not even want to be there! We were going to try to go through again, but by time we got out, the waiting areas were full as well as the parking lots!

Not hard to find(been there before) BUT the fact that this event wasn't real busy should have been a warning. We(group of friends)have attended this event for 8 years and in the past we knew we were in for a real scare. But in the last few years this haunt has gone downhill big time. We think the theme this year was supposed to be a haunted mansion, but the rooms were a hodge-podge of ideas that didn't make sense or flow together. The scares were predictable and came from where you would expect them. Acting was often mis-timed and the actors didn't seem to know what they were doing. In addition the make-up appeared more fit for a circus theme with crazy colors and strange hair styles on some actors. In addition a good percentage of the actors seemed too young or unprepared to effectivly scare. The time in the haunt was about 15 min. - a bit short in our opinion. Perhaps this haunt would be good for younger people because it has lost much of the impact and intensity it had in the past.

I was a little disappointed with this attraction. While we were waiting for our number to be called, there were a few actors that were interacting with the guests. This is great, if the actors are able to entertain the guests in some way. Now the house.

The house seemed a bit short. Each of the scares were pretty predictable. The layout was not that great. It had some neat concepts, but the rooms didn't flow with each other. With wide hallways and poor layout, you could pretty much tell what was coming. There were some really entertaining actors, but not enough to carry the load.
