And now for the second haunt from 10/20, Forest of Horror. This was about 5 minutes down the road from the other haunt, which was nice. But this was a completely different world.
First, much shorter line, not the big spectacle that some other haunts are. Please understand that this is what a haunt should be, in my opinion. Noisy people, the smell of funnel cakes and long lines do not set the mood for a haunt. Regardless, the mood here was much more sullen, much more tense, much more "mood-setting."
Scare Factor: 4/5 Regardless of the two young females behind me that jumped and screamed at everything, there was a decent scare factor here. Actors jumping out at unknown, appropriate places, good dark places, good camouflage.
Actors: 5/5 Very good at staying motionless. Some I didn't even know were actors until they jumped at me. The others stayed in character very well, followed you just long enough, and actually seemed like they were having fun.
Set Design/Props/FX: 4/5 The one room smelled a little too much like a barn, but other than that, very good. No air cannons (yay!), no cheesey scenes with narrarators (except one), and the walk through the woods was just creepy. It all flowed together well. However, what looked to be an awesome rebirth of Freddie was a big overture with a tiny opera. A slight let down, but the effects were great.
Length: 4/5 Compared to other haunts in the same price range, the length was pretty good. It could have been a bit longer, but perhaps it seemed so short because of one of two things. One, the 2 females practically pushing us through it, or two, because the previous haunt I visited seemed to go on forever. Regardless, decent length.
This was more my kind of haunt. No big spectacle, just scares. There were some very impressive costumes, cool scenes, even smells on this one. Plus, some of the walking through the woods was just creepy in its own right.

Hey Linda! As always your Forest of Horror was a lot of fun and each year you seem to find new and better ways to scare, and amaze me. The attention to detail through out the whole trail is some of the best I have seen. I loved the new additions like the Freddy Kruger memorial, and each year it seems like the trail actually gets longer and darker. Forest of Horror is a MUST for any haunted attraction enthusiasts, and I am a forever fan. Look forward to seeing you next year!
