This is by far one of thee best haunted houses in the Midwest. It is not for the easily scared and faint of heart... at all!! They pride themselves on a full sensory experience, and they deliver! Theyve recently added Bad Trip, which is a 3-D maze based off of a circus. Clowns and props are all around you in the rafters. Sometimes you cant tell the difference between real or prop. Demented clowns will pop out of anywhere and everywhere. But the props and animatronics are amazing and the paint job is spectacular! with the 3D glasses on things really pop! Now as far as their main attraction, you can pay a little extra to go VIP and not wait in the line, but most nights, the line can be pretty fun! They normally have either a DJ set up on the stage towards the front of the line, or a really old horribly bad yet awesome horror movie playing on the big screen on the side of the barn. There will normally be a character roaming the line as well picking out any unsuspecting victims. The people will touch you inside, but they wont hurt you. Just try to get a startle out of you. Things will pop out if random walls and corners and you can never be sure where something may or may not be. They also have scenes set up that adds to the gore and the scare and the craziness. This place is WELL worth every penny you will spend. Its a great deal! Warning for whatever reason they "shut down" for over a half hour about midnight every night. So be prepared to wait if youre outside. They always say its a technical difficulty, but happens every.single.time.i.go. and always around midnight.

We had a great time, arrived at 7:40ish (starts at 8:30) so waited about an hour in the VIP line to get in, but were among the first in. The VIP pass IS worth every penny. You avoid "all the bullshit" as the owner put it of the normal line (looked to be about a 3 hour wait. First in, first out and experienced the 3D "BadTrip" afterwards which was literally a time consuming work of art. Not sure if that comes standard with general admission or not. I didnt let anyone rush me through THAT! The horror aspects were actually amazingly thought out and not your local hay ride people. Im not a scare easily person but I must have been easy prey in there :D Im not sure what the reviews pertaining to the business aspect side of things being less than stellar are; its NOT a restaurant, no one is there to serve you. If you dont like the idea of waiting in line to buy tickets then buy them online like we did, print em out and go straight to the VIP line. What OTHER customer service crap were you really expecting from THIS? PEOPLE. ..pfft. Always wanting MORE. I got my dollhair worth by almost sharting my pants and enjoying the great artwork afterwards, not looking to being handheld by a guide all the way through. What frightening fun would THAT have been, the confusion is part of the utter terror. Acting was top notch, props were top notch, EVERYTHING GRADE A MEAAAAATTTTT.

So we went a couple weekends ago and it was a great time! We drive 2.5 hours and got a room down the road from it so we can try to be the first in line and not have to drive far to get back to the room. We got there around 5:50! And we were actually second in line. Once 6pm hits its like a time people start coming and waiting in line. Either way it goes you can either wait in line early be first to go threw or if you come later wait in line for few hours and be able to watch their entertainment at night . You can tell they have ALOT of their money they make into this haunted attraction and its awesome. The workers are great got to joke and talk to them when we got are tickets and Waited in line. I wasnt rushed threw the haunt or anything they actually Stop you so you can see the scenes and plays thats going on threw the haunt. Its a fun time all around. The 3D clown one can get a little better its nice inside but actors need be a little more scary . I brought my friend whos almost 7ft tall an 300 pounds and when they seen him they asked if he wanted a job lol happen to every haunt we went to this year. But overall this is a good place to check out ! Dont cry abou the line bc they tell you and reviews tell you its going to be a wait.

My friends and I went here in October 2015. This is an *ADULT* haunt, complete with pole dancers and foul language, and provides a refreshing change from the tamer attractions. The haunt is ideally located on a remote farm. As anyone who goes to haunted houses knows, the line is 33% of the fun. For some reason, theyd picked some boring and pretentious anti-war/Vietnam montage for the screen, interspersed with music videos. That was my only gripe and I was told that previous years had retro B-movies showing and cool actors. The first house is simply amazing. Without spoiling anything, I will say the visuals and effects are way above average, especially a leering figure that looked down from the night sky with glowing eyes! The secondary house, which is a 3D "clown town on acid" is less impressive and seems to still be in the beta stage, but is a nice bonus ride. We probably went 30 to 40 minutes (I didnt time it) and I look forward to returning in 2016! BOTTOM LINE: An R-rated adult "horror" house which has plenty of Halloween eye candy, and which will hopefully ditch the political protesting and focus on good old Ohio backwoods horror this year. -- DCS

Absolutely nothing. Last night we waited in line for 2 hours. We were told it opened at 8:30pm. It poured raining to where we were drenched. At this point it was 9:00 and the line hadnt moved. The monsters they had walking around were cussing at the customers, using horrible language and taking peoples hoods off their heads in the rain. Not funny or cool. Why couldnt you have opened on time or a little earlier due to the inclement weather? People had already paid their money at this point, isnt the goal to get them inside through the haunt? We left and masses of others left as well. Who has fun with wet clothes through to their underwear!? Ive been there before and thought Id bring out of town guests to experience what we thought would be a fun time. There were 10 of us last night. We were able to sell our tickets to those few kids who didnt mind the cold rain. But the experience and business side of the night was horrible. If youre just in it for the money, we get it. Know that Im going to let anyone and everyone I come in contact with know about how this group treats its paying customers during inclement weather. No justification for it.

The Haunted Attraction itself is top notch and if it werent for the 3 hour plus wait Id say its worth it, but it really is up to you if you want to wait that long. Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way were the prices. 3 bucks to park and 20 dollars to get in. I get to pay you twice so that I can wait 3 hours in line while enjoying a bunch of smoke from people getting blown in my face. Your feet will hurt and youll be wanting to just get into the attraction not to enjoy it, but to leave. No refunds on the tickets either, once you pay you either go in or lose out on $23. DONT THINK IF YOU GET THERE EARLY IT WILL BE ANY DIFFERENT. We got there at 8:00 and didnt leave till well after midnight. And one last thing, they used to play movies to try to help pass the time on a big projection screen, instead you now get to view what would appear to be some edgy 13 year olds computer filled with anti censorship, pro marijuana, and anti establishment images. They play a slide show with the AWESOME MAAAAN HARDCORE pictures complimented by 9/11 conspiracy videos. 3 HOURS
