For 2019 the experience starts before you even walk in, with an overwhelming amount of decorations…read more Skeletal birds in cages, so many pumpkins, a chalk outline of a corpse surrounded by every weapon from Clue, a spooky witch's apothecary stand, and several costumed horrors keeping the folks in queue scared while they wait to enter. When you do make your way inside, you're greeting with old portraits and slowed down creepy music. Through the dim corridors you'll find a giant spider with glowing eyes, and a medical lab of torture, among other fiends and friends. The whole thing is only about one and a half minutes, but the final room really leaves an impression.

The house itself is perfectly nestled in what I imagined could be a quiet New England neighborhood. As you approach, you see the silhouettes of gravestones through fog and spooky green and purple lighting. Calliope music and a child's soft voice wafts towards you and you catch movement in the graveyard. Coming closer you see the "child" and you clearly hear her cautioning you. The front yard is used to great advantage as it curves around the house, with such attention to detail, from the skeletons on their eternal carousel ride, complete with the creepy ear worm worthy circus music, the ornaments on the tree, and an actual child (the haunter's daughter) surreally caps the display by meandering around the graves before heading to the tree swing to play in the cemetary. The front porch transports you to an episode out of the Twilight Zone. A cadaverous mother rocks her dead child to sleep under an antique lamp, near a broken TV while an old clock's hands spin out of time in a wash of blue light. There is also a sound activated knive-wielding masked nurse that is offering COVID tests. Which is easily the scariest part of this 2020 Halloween season.

This "Hell House" is good old fashioned fun that wraps up with a lesson and a prayer. Certainly not as graphic or high production as some, but I imagine still effective. I appreciated that there was no real life footage in this one or taboo topics (aside from quickly addressing choosing gender). Obviously most people can agree a 7 year old shouldn't be living on their own so not an offensive choice for an outreach program. I wish this were just a little more organized. We had too many in the group so we struggled to comfortably see the scenes. It felt like the narrator character was yelling at us for not knowing where to stand but he also might have been in pain from getting whacked by a door when an actor flung it open at him. I didn't feel especially safe with the proximity of the actors jumping around and swinging their limbs a little too close in the intense strobe lights and a few times shielded my face with my arms for fear of being accidentally hit like the narrator was at the beginning during the rules. Overall if you want to support a local god group, this is a fun event. I drove up from the Los Angeles area and unfortunately none of the Halloween attractions in this area compare to the events we are used to but if you're already in the area looking for something to do this has a very fun small town feeling.

My friends and I visited AV Haunted House October 29th, 2021 and had a pretty good time! As far as…read morehaunted houses go, this is pretty good!! All the scare actors seemed really involved and excited to scare us! Everyone was generally really nice and it's free, so you can't complain about that. The only warning I do give is that we waited for a long time (about 2 hours) so just be aware you'll be stood for a while. This event is run by a church so the plot line did revolve around how everyone is infected with sin which can maybe be triggering if you have religious trauma. Along with this, we were given a small sermon at the end and asked if we would repeat the prayer with the man at the end. Only one person ended up repeating after him and my friends and I came to the conclusion that she wasn't actually in the group with us during the haunt, meaning she was probably planted there in case no one prayed along. Now, that's fine, I don't care. But, she was giving us only the HARSHEST of glares. Religious guilt is very real. The only two other warnings I can think of is that strobe lights are used HEAVILY throughout the maze so if you are epileptic and triggered by flashing lights, skip this one. As the theme this year, everyone is infected by sin therefore God is punishing us-- they showed us a small movie before the maze which included clips of not only natural disasters, but the 9/11 tragedy. Thankfully none of my friend group is triggered by 9/11 imagery but it really caught us off guard. Overall, the maze itself was really great. It was free, people were kind (besides the glaring lady), and the scare actors seemed to be enjoying themselves. Just please be aware of what you're getting into before you do end up going! Stay safe and have a great Halloween!

We moved to Bakersfield almost two years ago from Georgia. We found out about Halloween town last…read moreyear too late, it was close to closing time. This year, we went every other day. They changed their pricing to free admission, and you pay only for what you ride or do. Some things are free. They grown their own pumpkins and corn, which is SOOOO COOOOL. They have a corn maze and corn pit where the kids can swim in an ocean of corn. Be ready to leave with corn in your underwear if you get in. There are pony rides, singing pumpkins, a tube slide, bouncy castles, and this year they had barrel rides. I saw someone comment that the hay ride was nothing more than driving around the lot and looking at storage. That was 100% untrue. Last year the hayride rode through a scary tunnel and it was nicely decorated for Halloween. This year the barrels rode by the haunted house, which was enough of a scare for smaller children. My daughter, who is 7, loved it. Children don't see the world the way we do. Where an adult is riding and criticizing, like the reviewer, the children are happy to be on something new, moving. My daughter wanted to go to Halloween Town EVERY DAY, so we tried! Since admission was free, it really made that easier on us. She is obsessed with anything to do with Halloween so imagine how it went when we had to explained they were going to be closed for a little while. I'm hoping they will plan more festivities throughout the year. There aren't a lot of places for children to go in Bakersfield, and this family have devoted their lives to making a place where families can do things together at an affordable price. I talked to the owner and she said that was their inspiration. For anyone to give a bad review of their farm is upsetting because they certainly don't have to do the things they're doing. I'm sure the cost of admission barely covers what it costs to pay their bills. As a community, we should support local businesses. This is one deserving of support. Aside from that they have a beautiful thing going and Bakersfield children finally have a place, centrally located, to enjoy! It's too bad they can't grow Christmas trees! Maybe little palm trees? The haunted house, is AMAZING! They put a lot of work into it. I cant wait to see what they come up with next year!
