Boo. Yes. Well,…read morethat about sums it up because the first rule about Nightmare Manor is that you don't talk about Nightmare Manor. The second rule is "see rule number one". I'll do it like this: Is it scary? If that's what you like and you get scared, then yes. It is. If you're not easily scared and you like haunted houses for what they are, you will have a great time. Is the decor good? it is fantastic. Are the people good? Absolutely. They do a phenomenal job. Make up and costumes are great. How cool of a job would that be?!?!? Is it worth the money? Absolutely. If I remember correctly, it does take 15 to 20 minutes to get through it. They do space people out so you're not shoved up against, or being shoved by, a bunch of strangers. Would I go back? Totally. This is great fun every year. I'd suggest getting there early though. The line, although it moves steady, can get long and the wait can be quite long. Can't tell you how long because we always try to get there as early as possible. I would not say that this is exactly an "accessible" place for wheelchairs, scooters, etc. I could be wrong, but I know there would be some challenging areas for those types of accessibility aides.

Most of the time it's a long wait for a mediocre experience that gets ruined because your group is stuffed with another group, usually the scare is only for the first person in the group. Or your group is too close to the group in front of yours. Not the case at Twisted Trails! They specifically make sure there is plenty of spacing between each group and the actors take time with your group. They all stay in character too, very clever humor and scare tactics. I was amazed how great this place was. The pricing was great as well, $25 per person gets you all three top notch attractions. The location was great too, it's about a mile off the road in the woods. I personally loved the "Muck Manor" attraction. The swamp part was awesome! Can't wait to see what the themes are next year!

So you're planning for a peaceful night out, in the dark.. in the woods.. in the middle of nowhere…read more Yeah, that's how I like to spend a Saturday night too. You drive for what seems like an eternity and you finally see the Cowan Lake signs, so you know you're close. I went to this haunt over 10 years ago and they've done alot to improve it in those years of my absence. Ok, first I'll give you some tips that will make your trek more enjoyable. Go in a group!!! It was extremely crowded when we arrived and we got there before it was even officially open! So in order to save time, part of the group went to the ticket stand and the other half went to wait in the line that was wrapping through the field and almost to a barn in the far off distance. As we waited in line the smells of diesel started creeping to our nostrils and the blaring of horns was heard from literally, a mile away. There is a stage with an animatronic demon of some sort who sings such classics as, "Pimp Juice," because you wanna put your feet on my rug. Don't cha? and whatever else Kiss 107.1 decides to play for the evening. I mean that alone was worth the $20 in my opinion. As the line gets closer you can see the two other haunted attractions that you'll be traversing through later to your left. Costumed characters started wandering out at this point with their devious stares and too close for comfort stances. Once it was our turn a bus with no roof rushes up and slams on it's brakes for dramatic effect. The swoosh of the hydraulic door is enticing. Another tip, when you get on the bus.. sit on the right side. You'll come back and thank me for it later. The bus takes you on a leisurely drive through death and carnage with a little adventure added in too. I'm not going to spoil it for you.. but this haunt is the best of the 3 in this location. After the bus ride we went to the Slaughter Hotel and waited in another never ending line. When we finally made it to the door after another hour of waiting, we grabbed the handle and stepped inside. The electric went off to the whole building. We were told to go back outside and we sat there forever waiting some more as they tried to fix the problem. However these things happen, and we were finally allowed to head inside. I actually liked this one. It was fun and the characters were very interactive. I kept joking that this place must not have room service and other cracks about hotels through the tour. After having waited for so long for the other two we almost didn't make it to the Nightmare Penitentiary. We arrived around 7:45 pm and were pretty tired by that point, but we paid the full price for all 3 so I wanted to go to ALL 3! Well, if we had missed the last one it wouldn't have been that big a deal because it really wasn't that spectacular. We ended up leaving that place by 11:30, and it wasn't because of the length of the haunts, but rather all the lines. Ugh. I'd go again for the bus ride, but I wouldn't waste my money on the other two, and I'll get there ridiculously early next time.

I came out on Saturday Night with a group of friends from Cincinnati, OH. The anticipation built up…read moreon the pretty long, dark drive up to the venue. After we arrived we saw the lines were wrapped around the field and we were concerned we wouldn't get in to all the haunted houses before close so we upgraded to the Fast Pass. The original ticket price was $25 and the fast pass was a steep jump to $45. I handed the woman my credit card only to be told they ONLY accept cash AND their ATM had been down. I drove all the way from Cincinnati without cash. This was the first sign it was going to be a rough night. Most businesses have migrated to a credit card system or at least have an ATM that is working. With lines this long you would think they would have migrated to a cashless based system to accommodate for those who have traveled longer distances. The first haunt we entered was the Corn Maze. We walked in the dark around mud pit paths with NO actors for long periods of time. There were a total of maybe six actors throughout the entire corn maze! I guess the scare was the fact that I was ruining my shoes stepping in mud puddles wondering if there were ever going to be any actors. The second haunt we went into was the Slaughter Hotel, again, the lack of actors was so sad. By this point I knew I was not getting my monies worth. The third haunt was The Asylum. It was extremely short, the actors were terrible. From the animatronics to the actors, I was extremely disappointed. We then ventured to The Bus Ride. Most of the bus ride was lackluster again with the actors, but they did try a little harder than the first two. Most of actors that came on board the bus just walked through, I don't think a single person screamed, not even the children. What was concerning is that there were taller men that were not warned about the low clearance of the barns we drove through, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. The best part of the entire experience was obviously the semi chase. That was the best part of any haunted attraction I have been to, but still not worth $45. I am a fairly hard scare and I was walking through the haunts by myself letting my friends go ahead of me thinking that maybe the actors would scare me at some point. I literally stood there and had a normal conversation with several of the actors. None of the actors stayed in character very long. I spoke with my friends who are easily scared and even they were bored throughout each and every single haunt. This was a waste of a Saturday night, mileage, gas, and I would not recommend this haunt to anyone. Step up the game and don't waste people's money.

My wife and I got there around 9am. The place opened at 8:30. After paying $28 for two tickets, we…read morewere instructed there was a short line (maybe 12 people) ahead of us. We waited our turn but it didn't appear that anyone was going through. We waited about 30 minutes until a young girl started collecting tickets. A woman with her (approx) 9 year old daughter were ahead of us but only had 1 ticket. The woman stated she was only given one ticket for the two of them and was instructed to leave the line and purchase another ticket. The woman did and returned shortly. After another 15 minute wait, we finally entered. I won't give away the scares, however, I was a bit surprised at how often the characters touch you. I was also surprised at how often the F-bomb was dropped by the characters. The 9 year old girl ahead of us was frightened of course and the characters were swarming on her telling her they didn't "f-ing care" that she was scared. Another part of the maze leads you into an area that depicted graphic full frontal nudity of a fake female body as well as a character licking it's breasts. Another room depicted a funeral, however, the special effects failed and we were then just lead out of the room. At the end, as you are walking out, a large group of characters again swarmed the 9 year old (to the point my wife even though it was a bit much) and would not let her pass. Before we left, a character grabbed my hair and I was left with a sticky mass of hair in my head for the rest of the evening. All in all, it was so-so in terms of scariness. It took a while to get through but many of the characters just circled around and you experienced the same characters over and over. I felt it was a bit pricy and it isn't something I'd take my kids to due to the language and hand on experience.
