I'm going to start off saying that I had high hopes for this haunt, and it let me down, HARD.
I'll first say that the skulltronix skull they had was shut down. http://www.octoberlounge.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif (I was looking forward to that) and that was only the beginning. Going through this, I was thinking to myself "Hey, this doesn't quite look like a zombie infested town, instead it looks like a thrown together second haunt." The props were ok, but it by no means immersed me into the situation like it should have. The actors here unlike its neighbor CarnEvil were just lazy and they had too many calm spots for being such a short haunt. The only good things I remember in it were the track of moving bodies in about half way. Then they did have these weird balloons like things squeezed together
that you had to move through, and at that spot they could've got me bad on that, but they blew it.
I was really let down by it, I would not recommend anyone waste their scare bucks on this disaster. CarnEvil is a cool one though.
Props: Neat mask gimmick - Some of the props were freaky, like the line of dead bodies
Slops: Skulltronix head was down - failed attempt at zombie scenery - lazy actors - felt like the whole thing was
thrown together
I give this one a 3/10
I hope to review 13th Door and Slaughterhouse Gulch sometime next week. see ya
