    It's currently 11pm as I'm writing this. I've been in line since 7pm and it's not moving. Fuck this place.

    Hauntville Haunted House - Wicked Clowns in 4-d

    I'm an experienced "houser," if that is our term, and I came to Hauntville after having not gone…read moresince I was about 9. Reason being I moved out of Ohio and before that I lived about three hours away from it's old location, near (now) Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky. That said, it impressed me even then with its combo stylishness/slyness. It's not enough to just scream and pop out. That's cheap. You have to be creative and use standard props in an interesting way. Hauntville did and does this. I visited them this Halloween season in the Elyria location and despite being woefully understaffed the creativity remained in high order. one of the most interesting psychological elements was in the Prison house. Not to spoil the surprise but the Warden character (good actor, btw) was always in an "elevated state," making the customer feel more helpless. Little atmospheric touches like this abound, especially in the succinct but suspenseful "Unknown" pitch black maze with multiple awesome "fun house" elements mixed in. Hauntville has HIDDEN RIDES within a few rooms. So fun. AND more BIG HEAD PUPPETS than any other haunt which are more customizable than animatronics, especially when the actors are strong and they are here. You can tell they care. Most of them could improv for days, especially the ticket taker at the Haunted Bayoo/Shanty house. (How many people can riff about "sister-cousins" breathlessly for ten mins straight?) Shout-out to Kristi for really making me feel welcome and appreciated.

    My husband and I visited on a Friday right around 7:30pm. We didn't have to buy fast passes as the…read morelines weren't long. I don't want to give away too much...but it was a good haunted house. I'm not a fan of being scared by loud noises and there were a TON of horns and whatnot. Hauntville had a lot of unique scares and things that were different than other houses. The actors with the chainsaws touched your legs with the fake saws and there were a couple big objects that ran right into me.
