Let me start off with saying the only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is that it feels too short, especially for only being $5 less than Creepyworld.
We did all three Scarefest attractions in three consecutive days. The Lemp Brewery was our very first night of scares and it was a great way to kick off the weekend. This year the Lemp Brewery Haunted House took on an occult theme, which is not my typical cup of tea, but it was done well.
For those not familiar, the Lemp family history is pretty bleak and the Lemp Mansion is said to be haunted. Nearby is the Lemp Brewery, which is where this Haunted House is located. So this attraction is touted as a "real" haunted house. (This is a haunted house attraction, not a ghost tour.) The natural setting is pretty great. When you arrive, large brick grain elevators tower above you. Across the parking lot from the grain elevators is another old brick building, the Lemp Brewery.
Once inside you descend down two long stories of spiral staircase until you're underground. This descent helps create a bit of nervous anticipation, paving the way for the scares to come. This haunted house might be short, but it's pretty intense. It does an excellent job of confusing and disorienting through strobe lights, darkness, and hidden doorways. More than once we found ourselves going in circles in the dark unable to find the way out.
The logistics:
There's a large paid parking lot attended by the attraction's employees. It took about 30 minutes to go through. It's located pretty close to The Darkness, so you could probably do both in one night (assuming it's not too crowded). read more
