Terror By The River is a backyard haunted trail located in Todd, NC. This is an old school haunted trail with no overall theme. There is axe throwing that you can enjoy while you wait to go in as well as a photo opportunity.



Scenes: This attraction is split into two sections. The first is a dark maze with a few scenes in it follow but a short trail. The scenes in the first part are mostly dark with a few dimly lit scenes scattered throughout. The opening maze is pretty well done and comes with a task of finding a rabbit. The attraction itself is pretty short and there wasn’t much going on inside. The scenes that were there had an old school feel to them and were well done. They made good use of the small area that they had to work with. The trail part only had one actor in it but had some pretty cool scenery. I really like the burning man prop that they had set up.

Scenes: 3/5

Costumes: The costumes here had an old school feel to them. There were lots of plain clothes on people wearing masks. Some of the costumes we didn’t really get to see due to the fact that some of the actors were out of their costumes when we came through their scenes. My favorite costume here was the doll girl. She looked highly creepy.

Costumes: 3/5

Actors: The actor in the maze was the best of the attraction. They played their part well and kept us entertained. Many of the actors were out of place when we went through. There was one girl that was in plain clothes with no mask or make-up that turned to someone we couldn’t see and said “I told you there was a group coming through.” There were also two other actors that were out of costume and as soon as they saw us started getting their costumes on. The doll girl was really good and her area was the creepiest of the event. The scare actor in the trail did a good job of hiding and using the scenes as a distraction.

Actors: 2/5

Crowd Control: There was no bunching here as we were one of only 2 groups going through. The pacing is nice and the beginning maze is short enough that you don’t get bored. The biggest issue in this category is the fact that you don’t really know where to go at times. When we came out of the first section we thought we were done and had to go ask if the trail that led into the woods was part of it.

Crowd Control: 3/5

Atmosphere: This is an old school feeling haunted attraction. It’s pretty short so it reminds you of the days of people putting together last minute haunts in their backyard. There seems to be a communication issue here though. Some of the actors didn’t even know there was a group coming through and were out of costume. There’s also an issue of the groups knowing where to go. They have the start of something good but they also have some issues to work on. It’s a fun time just a little chaotic.

Atmosphere: 3/5

Overall Score for Terror By The River: 2.8/5

Terror By The Trail is located at 4041 Todd Railroad Grade Rd Todd, NC 28684. Ticket are $20 per person with options for younger ages. I recommend this attraction for ages 10 and up. For more information visit www.terrorbytheriver.com. Happy Haunting.

Kersey Valley Spookywoods is a multi-stage attraction located at Kersey Valley Adventure Park. Your adventure starts in the midway where there is a live DJ, concession stands, gift shop, and a drink booth. There are also characters walking around that you can take pictures with. We had the fast pass and were given a text when it was time for us to get in line. Once inside you first go through a house then onto a tram. This takes you to the Icons section featuring horror movie monsters. Once at the end of that you get on another tram which takes you to the main trail. This trail has different stages each with its own theme.

Scenes: The scenes were the best part of Spookywoods. The scenes are well constructed and on a professional level. I loved the entrance to the Icons area. The Camp Crystal Lake scene was one of the best I’ve ever seen. The scenes on the trail were eye catching and no 2 scenes were alike. One of my favorite things here was the moving walls in the earthquake scene. I also really enjoyed the visuals on the house that had vines growing on the outside. There was a bit of dead space. Some of the scenes looked great but didn’t have much happening inside of them. It took near an hour to go through he whole thing and I was impressed that they managed to fill the entire trail with enough things to keep you entertained.

Scenes: 4/5

Costumes: The standouts here in the costume section were the many Jasons in the Icons area. They each looked fantastic. It was also nice to see some characters that you don’t get to see often like Sam Loomis and Pamala Vorhees. The costumes in the Midway were also well done. I really liked the witch that was entertaining the crowd. The Freddy was also well done. The original characters in the rest of the haunt looked great as well. I really enjoyed the look of the undertaker character in the mausoleum scene.

Costumes: 5/5

Actors: The scare actors in the Midway were entertaining and did great interacting with the waiting crowd. The actors in the Icons area were the best ones in the attraction. I loved the Jason that was scaring people while standing in the water. The acting in the main part of the trail varied depending on the scene. There were a few places where I’m pretty sure there was supposed to be a scare actor due to there being a perfect place for them but no one was there. Some of the actors in the main part didn’t do much. There were a couple of them that just stood there and didn’t do anything. There were a few good ones that did the best they could with the crowd control issues. They had decent timing and some pretty good hiding places. I really liked the Leatherface in the Icons area.

Actors: 3/5

Crowd Control: This is where Spookywoods had its biggest issue. Once we got into the main part of the trail it was basically like a conga line going through. It felt more like going through a museum than a haunted attraction. The Icons area didn’t have this problem though the pacing felt a bit rushed throughout the entire attraction. There weren’t really any areas where the actors could control the crowd either.

Crowd Control: 1/5

Atmosphere: You can tell that a lot of time and money was put into this attraction. The Midway is arguably the best part of the experience. There is so much to do that you could make an entire night out of it alone. The trail itself is visually stunning and attacks all of the senses. The length of the trail (it took us about an hour to go through the whole thing) would work to the attraction’s advantage if it wasn’t for the crowd control issues and the lackluster performance of some of the actors. Spookywood is an overall good time and certainly worth a visit they just have some things they need to work on.

Atmosphere: 3/5

Overall Score for Kersey Valley Spookywoods: 3.2/5

Kersey Valley Spookywoods is located at 1615 Kersey Valley Rd Archdale, NC 27263. Tickets are $25 to $45 per person depending on the day you go. There are also options for VIP and Immediate Access. There are multiple concession stands on site. I recommend this attractions for ages 13 and up. For more information visit www.spookywoods.com. Happy Haunting.

All reviews are up for week 3. Don't forget about our live stream tomorrow night at 8pm where we discuss the haunts from this weekend. See you all next week.

Frightworks is an indoor haunted attraction with a Cabin In The Woods meets SCP theme. At the beginning you are told that you will be touring a facility that houses dangerous and supernatural creatures. There has been a breakout and all the creatures are loose. Each scenes depicts a different creature with themed scenes to fit those creatures.

Scenes: The scenes at Frightworks are well done. Each scene depicts a different creature room and the scenes themselves seem professional. They feature great hiding spots and make great use of distraction. Thre is little to no dead space. They make great use of animatronics though they are overly used at times. The pressure plates to trigger the animatronics aren’t well hidden also. The laster room with the clown was my favorite and I got a huge jump scare there. The Bloody Mary room and the Inmate hallway were other favorites of the attraction.

Scenes: 4/5

Costumes: The costumes were well done. A mix of masks and make-up are used to great effect. Some of the costumes allowed the actors to be well hidden and made for great jump scares. One of the best here was the guy in the ghilli suit that was so well hidden that he was right in front of us and we didn’t know. The mask on the clown in the laser room was joyously creepy. Another of my favorites of the attraction was the guy with the pumpkin head. He was well blended in with the scene.

Costumes: 5/5

Actors: The actors at Frightworks were highly energetic. They had great timing and hiding spots. The story was well kept throughout the attraction. The guy at the beginning was entertaining and made us laugh. The decon lady did her job very well. The laser clown was the best here and gave me one of the biggest jump scares I’ve ever had. The actors never broke character. I also have to give a shout out to the girl that was in the rafters. She was so creepy and played her part very well. The girl in the inmate hallway also did a great job on engaging with us.

Actors: 5/5

Crowd Control: The groups never bunched up while we were there and we never even became aware that any other groups were in there while we were. They send in individual groups instead of putting groups together so it makes for a more personal experience. The pacing is good and there are lots of places for the actors to keep control of the flow.

Crowd Control: 5/5

Atmosphere: Frightworks is a great haunted attraction and you are kept engaged the entire time. There is always something going on. The scenes are well done as are the costumes. I love the fact that you get the individual treatment with not mixing groups. The scares are intense and the actors are very energetic. The animatronics are unique and well hidden for the most part. You never know where something is going to jump out from and it keeps you on your guard.

Atmosphere: 5/5

Overall Score for Frightworks: 4.8/5

Frightworks is located at 1904 West Emory Rd Powell, TN 37849. Tickets are $27 with $29 on peak nights. There are also options for fast and season passes. There are concession and gift stands on site. I recommend this attraction for ages 12 and up. For more information visit www.frightworks.com. Happy Haunting.

10/22/2023

Screamville Haunted Attraction is a themed haunted trail located in Knoxville, TN. The story tells of a family that came to make their fortune running a farm. The land is cursed and only blood colored corn would grow. One of their kids goes missing and the wife goes insane and kills the rest of the children. Inside the trail you will find various scenes depicting what happened to the family in the cursed fields as well as all of the families that have come after.

Scenes: I can’t say enough about the scenes here. The production value is high and everything looks amazing. The scenes are set up so that the actors have excellent hiding spots as well as being full of things to distract you from where the scares are coming from. The dead space is minimal and actually serves to enhance the experience because it gives you just a couple minutes to try to catch your breath before hitting you again. Our favorite scenes were the playhouse and the school. The props were also amazingly done. They really made the scenes pop and offered great distractions for the actors.

Scenes: 5/5

Costumes: The costumes at Screamville looked professionally done. Some of the costumes here are pure nightmare fuel. My favorite here was the Bear face in the playhouse. It was wonderfully creepy. The actors working the corn field were perfectly blended in with the corn so you never knew where they were. The make-up jobs on the actors were also well done. The make-up on the 2 actors in the exorcist scenes were the best here. There were also some highly creative masks. There was an actor standing at the end of a long trail that had a cool green glowing eyes mask that was effectively creepy.

Costumes: 5/5

Actors: Screamville had some of the most energetic actors I’ve ever seen in a haunt. They were relentless in their scare attempts. The actors working the corn field had amazing timing and scared me multiple times. They make great use of distractions and have perfect hiding spots. There were too many amazing actors to really say which were my favorites. The girl at the beginning of the playhouse had some great energy. All of the kids in the school house did a fantastic job. The flower lady played her part very well. The young lady playing the possessed girl in the exorcism scene also did a great job. We thought she was an animatronic before she leapt from the bed. The nun also did a great job.

Actors: 5/5

Crowd Control: Crowd Control was great this year. We had zero issues with crowd bunching. The pace is near perfect and there are multiple spots where the actors can control the flow. The groups are sent in with enough time between them for the actors to get reset so there are always perfectly timed scares. The actors get enough time with each group to work their magic without having to rush. This makes for a really great experience.

Crowd Control 5/5

Atmosphere: Screamville is one of the scariest haunts I’ve been to in a long time. I jumped more times going through this trail in one night than I have all season so far. This is a great haunt experience. They turned everything up to 11 and kept going. The scenes are eye catching, the costumes are creepy, the actors are near insane, and the jump scares are perfectly timed. As I wrote this reviews I actually tried to find something to criticize and I honestly couldn’t find anything. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this was one of the best attractions I’ve been to in a while. Great job.

Atmosphere 5/5

Overall Score for Screamville Haunted Attraction: 5/5

Screamville Haunted Attraction is located at 6825 Tindell Ln Knoxville, TN 37918. Tickets are $25 per person with options for fast pass and VIP. There is an escape room there as well and concessions. They also have a midway with some games for you to play. I recommend this attraction for ages 12 and up. For more information visit www.screamvillehaunts.com. Happy Haunting.

Well haunters it looks like week 3 is starting out on a bit of a downer. Unfortunately due to weather, we won't be able to make our haunts tonight. One of them has already let me know that they won't be opening so we've made the difficult decision to wave off tonight's trip. Both of the attractions that we were to visit tonight will be on next years schedule. We are still planning on making the trip to Tennessee tomorrow so we will see you all then. To those that will be open tonight be safe and have a Happy Haunt.

Black Ops Haunted House is a combination haunted trail and hayride. The haunted trail has various scenes with various themes as well as a zombie shooting area. The hayride is a ride through a zombie infested down where you can shoot paintball guns at zombies. You can also take a ride in the back of a hearse inside the casket. The whole thing begins with an open air bus ride that is highly fun.

Scenes: This attraction has a very old school feel to it. The scenes represent this well. My favorites were the clown area and the zombie shoot. There was also a maze that was well done. It was confusing but not too much. It was fun and got our group twisted around a couple times. There was a little bit of dead space but not much. Another favorite was the boat area. It had a great laser and fog effect that made for a great scene.

Scenes: 4/5

Costumes: The costumes were well done and had an old school feel to them. The clowns were especially well done up. There was also a hospital area with some really good costumes. All of the military gear in the paintball area were well done.

Costumes: 5/5

Actors: Black Ops had some really good actors. My favorite of the night had to be the crab walking clown in the clown room. She played her part very well. All the actors engaged with the crowd very well and had great timing. The zombies in the shooting range are real troopers and took everything very well. The guys over the shooting range did a great job of instructing and keeping things nice a safe. The lady at the beginning giving the rules was amazing. She was very energetic and kept us entertained while we were waiting. There were one or two of the characters that didn’t do much but this was rare.

Actors: 4/5

Crowd Control: I felt like the groups were a little on the large side for the area that the haunt has to work with. Sometimes things would be done before I got there. The pacing felt a bit fast at times as well. The maze leveled things out a bit though. The pacing in the zombie shoot was controlled very well.

Crowd Control: 3/5

Atmosphere: This is a fun haunted attraction. The addition of the zombie shoot at the end makes it a unique experience. The actors do a great job of keeping the crowd engaged. There is always something to do even when you are done with the attraction so you are always having a good time. The crowd control issues can be fixed which is the only thing keep things back. I highly recommend putting out the extra money for the zombie shoot and coffin ride.

Atmosphere: 4/5

Overall Score for Black Ops Haunted House: 4/5

Black Ops Haunted House is located at 1447 Sweetie Rd Fayetteville, NC. Tickets are $30 per person for the haunted house. You can pay extra for the zombie shoot and there is also a hayride that you can pay extra for. There are concessions on site. I recommend this attraction for ages 12 and up. For more information visit www.blackopspaintball.org. Happy Haunting.

Stoney Point Trail Of Terror is a haunted trail run out of the Stoney Point Fire Department. As you are waiting you are treated to live music. You can also get yourself some food at the concession stand. There are also other entertainment and booths for you to check out. There is a photo taken of your group before you go in. Once inside there are many scenes with different themes and characters.

Scenes: The scenes at Stoney Point are on a near professional level. They look great and are eye catching. They offer great spots for the actors to hide and you never know where something is going to jump out. They had one of the best spinning tunnels I’ve been in. The dead space was minimal and there was something happening most times. The animatronics were well places and were unique. The hospital area was especially well done.

Scenes: 4/5

Costumes. The costumes were very well done. The make-up jobs were spot on as were the costumes and masks. We did see some plain clothes people in a couple areas that really seemed out of place. Again, the hospital area stood out here. The inmates were well done up. All the costumes were well designed and made.

Costumes: 4/5

Actors: The actors at Stoney Point are very energetic. They were both scary and fun. They had great timing and hiding places. They all really seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They interacted with the crowd very well even when the groups started to get combined together. The actor that was handling the crowds at the entrance was very entertaining and never broke character. They all always seemed to know the best people in the group to go after for the greatest reactions.

Actors: 5/5

Crowd Control: Group sizes were good. The pacing throughout the haunt was good, We did start to catch up with the groups ahead of us about halfway through and the group after us caught up with us leading to a conga line going through he attraction. This took a little bit away from the overall effect but not by much as the actors did such a good job.

Crowd Control: 3/5

Atmosphere: Stoney Point is a very well done haunted attraction. The acting is amazing and they really know how to show you a good time. The scenes and costumes are well done and add to the overall experience. The crowd control issues don’t take too much away but would have been nice to be able to experience everything without seeing it ahead of me first. Overall a really fun time with a good bit of scares.

Atmosphere: 4/5

Overall Score for Stoney Point Trail Of Terror: 4/5

Stoney Point Trail Of Terror is located at 7221 Stoney Point Rd Fayetteville, NC 28306. Tickets are $20 per person with options for fast pass and group rates. There are concessions and gift shops on site. I recommend this attraction for ages 12 and up. For more information visit www.undeadfd.com. Happy Haunting.

The 901 Nightmare is an outdoor haunted attraction located in Rock Hill, SC. It’s a haunted trail featuring mostly original characters as well as some Hollywood monsters. You start in a parking lot where you are put onto a bus ride to the main attraction. From there you are entertained by Jason while you wait to go in.

Scenes: The scenes here are well done. Each scene has a different theme. The scenes were done so that the actors had good hiding places and you didn’t know where things were going to be coming from. There was a bit of dead space here though. The props looked great but there were a couple of animatronics that didn’t seem to be working. Over all a good looking haunt.

Scenes: 4/5

Costumes: The costumes looked really good here. The Jason at the beginning was really well done. Make-up was well done as were all of the masks and outfits. There were a few outfits that blended in well with the surroundings making it hard to see them which made for good jump scares.

Costumes: 4/5

Actors: I don’t know if they were having an off night but the acting here seemed a bit lazy on our walk through. We actually had a guy that just slowly came out from behind a tree and just went “ehh,” without really doing anything else. There were some enthusiastic screamers which made for a good time. Again the Jason at the start was the stand out. He did a great job of entertaining the waiting crowd.

Actors: 2/5

Crowd Control: The group sizes were good and the time between groups was good as well. The pacing felt very quick but that may have been due to the other people in our group. There was a few times where things were done by the time I got to the scene. The trail itself wasn’t very well maintained. There was lots of near tripping and stepping on sharp things while walking through the trail.

Crowd Control: 2/5

Atmosphere: This is an entertaining haunt to go through. There weren’t many scares but many of the scenes were fun. The bus ride that you take at the beginning doesn’t have much going on except some overly loud music. The waiting area is fun with the Jason roaming around. The lack of effort from the actors takes the fun down a little. I feel like this could be a really good haunted attraction if the actors had a bit more energy and the pacing was better.

Atmosphere: 3/5

Overall Score for 901 Nightmare: 3/5

901 Nightmare is located at 3520 Mt Holly Rd, Edgemoor, SC 29712. Tickets are $20 per person with options for fast pass. I recommend this attraction for ages 10 and up. For more information visit www.901nightmare.com. Happy Haunting.

10/16/2023

Palmetto Hills Haunt is a haunted trail located at Palmetto Hills Paintball. The overall story here is that there was an infection that turned a community in its beginnings into a zombie filled nightmare. The trail is filled with military people, zombies, and a mayor. You can even pay a little extra and shoot a zombie at the end of the trail.

Scenes: Most of the trail is a walk through the paintball field made to look like a town that just didn’t make it. There’s quite a bit of dead space in this trail. The later scenes in the main part of the town are well done. They make really good use of space. The overall story is represented really well. The biggest issues here was the dead space and the fact that the lights were pointed right at the face and blinding at times. The actors had great hiding places as well, especially in the later stages.

Scenes: 3/5

Costumes: Most of the costumes here are paintball gear and military gear. The mayor’s costume was the best of the attraction. It was well done. The lady’s costume in the waiting line was also well done. The make up jobs on the victims were nice as well. It would have been nice to see a little more variety in the costumes but they were all well done.

Costumes: 3/5

Actors: The acting here was well done. There was lots of dedication among the actors. The mayor was the stand out here. There was also an actor that took a dive in his scene and it was very effective. The screaming girl near the start of the trail had great timing. The guy running the paintball shooting area was very entertaining.

Actors: 5/5

Crowd Control: For the most part crowd control here was well done. The groups were a good size and were spaced out well. The pace was good and only stopped when necessary. The guide at the start did a good job leading us but was really quiet and most of our group couldn’t hear what he was saying. The only time things slowed down a bit was when we were made to put on paintball facemasks. They fogged up and made seeing a bit difficult.

Crowd Control: 4/5

Atmosphere: This is a fun haunted attraction. The fun comes more from entertainment and participation than scares. There are one or two effective jump scares but most of the fun just comes from the story and the involvement. Being able to shoot the paintballs at the end is a nice touch and adds even more fun. It would have been nice to have a little more to the story as the first guide was so quiet. Other than that a really fun time.

Atmosphere: 4/5

Overall Score for Palmetto Hill Haunt: 3.8/5

Palmetto Hills Haunt is located at 1481 Anderson Rd. Rock Hill SC. Tickets are $20 per person. You can pay extra to shoot paintballs at a zombie. There are snacks available while waiting. I recommend this attraction for ages 12 and up. For more information visit www.palmettopaintball.com/haunt. Happy Haunting.
