Scare Factor: 5/5
It’s scary alright! They had me screaming before I even entered the haunt all the way through the terrifying ending. There was always something scary coming at me, falling from the sky, creeping up behind me, and even running straight toward me. You will get more, much more, than just great pop scares here. I stopped a couple times with my eyes closed, ears covered, head down, just scared frozen. I’d probably still be there, scared to death, if someone in my group hadn’t forced me to move along. I was terrified!
Actors: 5/5
This is a very actor driven haunt. The actor numbers are perfect and they all seem to have a hunger for terrifying people. Actors would jump out with their initial pop scare but beware it’s not over….they will follow you, terrorize you, and do all they can to make you scream. They target every section of the group. No one is left out. The actors with speaking parts aced their lines. The young lady at the house entrance did a great job with the haunt intro and never broke character. Her accent was awesome. The first actor in the house does a wonderful job luring you in and setting the mood for the rest of the haunt. The crazy contorted character in mama’s house was simply amazing. I know he showed up 5-6 times in that house (scaring me every time of course). I want to give special mention to Freddy, elevator monster, grim reaper, moss creature, crawling graveyard girl, Lucy, and to all the clowns, you made me p*e my pants. I know I forgot to mention many of the characters but they were all excellent. The actors keep this haunt alive!
Set Design/Props/FX: 5/5
I missed a lot, thanks to the actors who had me so terrified I was afraid to look up, but what I did see looked great. Loved the ship/bridge scene, black lighted vortex, 3D clown area, graveyard with the creepy crawly girl, elevator, and the skeleton entryway. The animatronic electrocution guy was great with a nice added scare. I walked through the oldest and rustiest looking haunted school bus I have ever seen. There is one very large costumed creature in the woods that made almost everyone in my group jump and scream. It is very difficult to figure out what is real and what is not. Monsters lunging at you while confined by chains or cages can be very frightening but realizing these monsters have escaped is downright terrifying. One very interesting part of this haunt is that it has a theme. You are given a coin in the very beginning and you are told to ONLY give this coin to Lucy at the elevator of life. The other monsters along the way will do their best to convince you, beg you, and bribe you to give them the coin. It’s a great way to tie the haunt together.
Length: 5/5
It’s a longer haunt. I wasn’t sure I’d ever survive till the end. It’s long but you will be entertained every second of the way.
Value: 5/5
Worth every cent and more. $20 with $5 off coupons available. For $5 more you can be buried alive while your friends stand by and watch.
Other:
I loved this haunt and will not miss it next year. The ticket staff was very friendly, free parking, and they have t-shirts and other goodies for purchase.
Overall Impression: 5/5
Love, love, love, loved x-treme fear this year. I don’t know how many clowns and chainsaws were in that last room and I didn’t stick around to find out. I bolted off to safety in the parking lot. It ends with a bang for sure. I know this Halloween season is almost over so if you can’t check them out this weekend you gotta get to Xtreme Fear next year. You don’t want to miss this place.
