I went there once, I think it was 3 years ago. The lines took forever. There were two different haunts there, one of them was pretty cool, the other was awful. It's probably a totally different setup this year though.

I love how the guy is wearing a Disturbed shirt with an evil looking skull on it, while ****ing his pants in terror.

I thought Bennet's curse was pretty good, I went closer to Halloween so the lines were a little longer. I will probably go this year but pay the extra $5 or whatever it is for the fast line tickets.

Great stuff.

Went to two haunts over the weekend.

Terror After Dark at Dulles Town center

This one sucked. Hard. Between all three haunts they had set up, there were maybe 5 or 6 actors. It was long stretches of nothingness punctuated with mostly lame scare attempts. A few decent props, but that was it.

When you locate your haunt in a lighted shopping mall parking lot, you need to make up for that with a good production. Unfortunately, they didn't, so it was a complete bust. Thank god we had 50% off coupons, but even at that price it was a rip off. There was hardly anybody there and it's no surprise why.

Shocktober at Paxton Manor, Leesburg

Complete opposite of the last haunt, and probably the best haunt I've been to in Virginia. I really hope these guys do lots of business this year, they deserve it.

The manor is the main draw, and there are also two side attractions. Lots of actors, tons of fantastic props, great effects, original scares, and probably the best part was that it is located in an actual old mansion. You go up and down stairs, ride an elevator, and walk through one scary scene after another. Simply top-notch.

The side attractions were a walk through the musty old cellar, (which would have been creepy even with no scares or props), and a funhouse-themed haunt complete with evil clowns and some really great and original scenes. I don't want to give anything away, but one room gave me flashbacks of playing at Chuck-E-Cheese as a kid, but in a scary way. These two "extras" are probably as good as most of the "big" haunts we've been to.

Sly and any other haunt nerds like me, you gotta check this one out. I highly recommend it.

Sweet, thanks for the haunt reviews. I'd love to check out Paxton Manor at some point.

After working at Wicked Woods on Friday and Saturday (to really big crowds by the way, which is an awesome sign), our group went to Halloween Haunt at Kings Dominion. I hadn't been in 4 years, so it was nice to see the changes. Corn Stalkers and The Doll House had some great scenes/scares. The actors are always the weakest part because they need so many... and also they rely heavily on cheap masks that don't fit half the time (time to invest in some silicone ones, KD!). Still, not a bad deal for the Sunday price of $30.

I'm working at Haunted Hollow and Devil's Den this weekend... then heading to DarkWood Manor for 2 nights (which had a break-in over the weekend, but luckily nothing was stolen).

The only other haunt I'll be able to visit as a customer is Netherworld in Atlanta the first weekend in November. If you love haunts, go to this one! It's amazing and worth the trip.

I'm glad WW had crowds. The two that we went to on Friday were basically empty. I hate seeing that, especially at a haunt as good as Paxton.

I can't wait to get to Darkwood, I look forward to that every year. Haunted Hollow was really good last year. I'm sure we'll be going there soon.

What kind of person breaks into a haunt?

Have any of you guys ever been to Jason's Woods?

I went to the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum Ghost lockdown over the weekend. Very cool and definitely heard a lot of unexplained BANGs and screams. The flashlight trick I am 50/50 on believing.
