Insidious: The FurtherHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis one was pretty good. Some stuff I'll admit was not particularly distinctive of the movies, though I still think they did a decent job of creating an unsettling atmosphere. The costuming and make up was also very impressive.
A Quiet PlaceHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis was incredible! The animatronics were extremely impressive, and it really felt like you were walking through the world from the movies. We legit stopped to admire the monsters a bit more up close from an engineering and artistic standpoint :)
Cannibal CabinScream TownHauntHaunted houseSuper fun! The scare actors really went above and beyond with this one. The ambiance is very creepy, with a lot of room for your mind to play tricks on you as you move through the space.
Ghostbusters: Frozen EmpireHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThe production of this experience was amazing! The exterior of the building looking like Ray's Occult Books was simply stellar. They even had a display of flyers in the doorway like an actual bookstore. Everything from the props, costuming, set design, and the flow of the maze made the experience an absolute blast. I'm very happy I got to experience it.
Haunted HouseMinnesota State FairHauntHaunted houseThis is a MN State Fair staple! It's pretty basic as far as haunts go, but it's still a lot of fun. I also just love that it's open in August. It's definitely worth checking it out, and it's always been cheap ($5 a person).
Psycho-delic CircusScream TownHauntHaunted houseThis attraction was pretty fun. The set design was immersive and engaging, and the scare actors did a great job tying the experience together. It's more on the sillier side of horror, somewhere between Killer Clowns and Rob Zombie movies.
Duluth Haunted ShipDuluth Haunted ShipHauntHaunted houseThis would be the first time in twenty-eight years since I've done the Haunted Ship. With any memory of it being vague and more than likely several changes it's gone through since, it's basically a fresh experience for me. The set design is very, very well done. There's lots of distinct sections/themes throughout the haunt that they did a great job of bringing to life. The length of it was pretty reasonable as well. My one large critique of the Haunted Ship is the scare actors. A lot of them weren't grtting into their roles very much. Some just stood there not doing anything. Ones that were interacting with patrons mostly just screamed at the top of their lungs. There were a select few actors that did take the cake, though. One in particular was a zombie with incredible make up and had the perfect walk to tie it all in.
