Hey everyone! We ended our family trip to California last week with a couple nights in Santa Cruz, at the northern end of Monterey Bay. Santa Cruz has one of the last remaining beachfront boardwalk amusement parks on the west coast. This is the one featured in the 1987 teen vamps flick, The Lost Boys.

When we visit a new amusement park, the hope is always that there will be a good dark ride on offer there. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk did not disappoint!

In fact, we enjoyed a trio of excellent ones there. Starting with Ghost Blasters, a well done spooky shooting gallery where we hit targets with light guns from a moving car.

The Cave Train gave us a delightful choo-choo ride through a Lost World of cavemen and dinosaurs in sets themed to the area, with scenes of beaches, surf shops, dance parties, etc.

The best one was the Haunted Castle. Just like the name says, it took us on a tour through the rooms of a haunted castle. This one skillfully used darkness and light effects and delivered a few good scares from props lighting up and popping out with accompanying sound effects. We found several floating phantom figures to be especially creepy.

If you ever find yourself in the area, definitely try to get here for some big fun. They also have a wonderful classic wooden coaster, the Giant Dipper, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, plus a treasure trove of other amusement park rides from kiddie rides to manic thrill rides, as well as a pirate themed mini golf course.

Have you ever been, what did you think? Or what is your fave boardwalk attraction anywhere else??

We had a fine time at Haunted Hills Estate Scream Park's Valentine's Day show! It was our first time out to this attraction in the Pittsburgh area and we enjoyed it a lot.

They had two houses open with plenty of holiday decorations, theming, and storytelling. The actors really got into it and many of them had extensive speaking parts. A good, enthusiastic cast is always appreciated ...especially in the off-season.

The hub was nicely laid out; the highlights included a groovy gift shop and yummy food vendors. We will have to get out there sometime during the regular season to see the trail. But for now, thanks for a great holiday show, HEE!

Last night we went to Akron Haunted School House and Laboratory's A Creepy Christmas show with Eric James Danowski of Team Zombillies Haunt Reviews. So good! We believe this was their first-ever December holiday show, but you wouldn't know it.

Excellent decorations in the highly detailed sets, funderful holiday costumes especially the gross creeper Santa, the actors were really into it, just everything you would want to see at this legendary classic (50 years old!) of a haunt. Great job, next up is their equally extraordinary Valentine show!

09/12/2023

Christmas Incarceration at Blood Prison: so very well done. Fabulous seasonal decorations, wonderful evil elf and sick Santa costumes, but the vicious Rudolph actormatronic topped it all. Touch pass is a must here, one of us got a gift box bounced off our head. Always a great time!

Time to finish up our 2023 awards! Our actor shout-outs for Land of Illusion Adventure Park go to Jamal Reda as Piggy and Zach VonStein as Chuckles. We found Piggy in the queue of the haunted trail …and inside the trail …and roaming the grounds between attractions. Piggy showed up at our very first haunt of the season and became one of our favorite performers of the year. Armed with a power drill to surprise unsuspecting guests, Piggy acted and sounded like a hyperactive Muppet. Seriously fun! Chuckles was a maniac clown with an axe who appeared over and over again to harass us in the Killer Klowns attraction. Chuckles showed big personality, big energy, big aggression, and that big axe. These actors did a great job …and at Land of Illusion, they have to keep it up for 6 hours a night!

That wraps up our awards for this season. Thanks to all the haunts and all the actors we got to see this year. We appreciate you all!

23/11/2023

Continuing with our 2023 haunt awards! Our actor shout-outs for Reaper's Revenge Haunted Hayride and Attractions go to Brandon Spears as Zed the security guard and River Pullis as the Psycho Axe Killer. Surrounded by his latest victims in hanging body bags, the sharply dressed Psycho held an axe to our necks, told us we’d be so pretty when we were done being murdered, and creeped us out with a high-pitched giggle. Zed headlined one of the best scenes of the night. The hayride got pulled over by a cop who marched us into a security trailer. Inside, Zed ordered us around, insulted us in backwoods deputy style, and commandingly presided over an interlude between the first half of the hayride and the trail that was equal parts funny, scary, and surprising.

And, we give our 2023 Spectacular Scenery Award to Reaper’s Revenge on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. Spectacular suggests spectacle, and that is one thing Reaper’s Revenge delivers in spades. The whole hayride is a tour de force, from Samara’s smoking well with a video screen backdrop playing the deadly 7-days recording to the mind-boggling Alice in Wonderland set, from Zombie Michael and fellow dancers breaking into the choreography from the ‘Thriller’ video accompanied by disco balls and lights to an avenue of sky-scraping, glowing jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin-headed props. The eye-popping visuals of Delirium had us shaking our heads at the illusory tricks where actors blended right into the sets. The facades of the last three indoor haunts (one to open next year) appeared nothing short of jaw-dropping. From our review: ‘The production values throughout were sky-high and awe-inspiring. The hayride itself might as well have been an attraction at Universal or Disney, but taken in entirety, the effects at Reaper’s Revenge quite simply astounded us. They did small scale things right, like the detailed fortune teller set in Lost Carnival loaded with many props such as a crystal ball table, to the weird lab scenes of Sector 13. They did very large scale things right, like the titanic size of hayride monstrosities including colossal animatronic dragons and other beasties to pumpkin-headed figures so tall we had to crane our necks to see their tops. Reaper’s Revenge had it all and did it all in tip-top fashion.’

Does your haunt wish list contain amazing effects magic that must be experienced to be believed? Look no further than Reaper’s Revenge to satisfy those longings.

More 2023 awards! Our actor shout-out for Ghoul Brothers is Kevin Weir'd as Father Osteo. In garish scarlet vestments and skull makeup with an upside-down cross on the forehead, the evil looking cult priest exhorted us to become part of the foul flock at this pestilent parish. It was tough to pick out anyone in particular for a shout-out because the cast at Ghoul Brothers is overall excellent. In fact, it was the highest rated cast in Ohio this season!

And, we give our 2023 Stunning Sets Award to Ghoul Brothers House of Horrors on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. They delivered set after superb set. From our review: ‘We once again found the fx at Ghoul Brothers to be nothing short of stunningly conceived, designed, and executed. Masterful crafting, perfect placement, intelligent layout, and obsessive detailing made each set a joy to behold. The traditional haunted house rooms especially blew us away with their total tableau of artfully curated objects and props. They expertly brought together old wallpaper styles, vintage record players and other equipment, and a superb collection of artwork. But there was so much more. Ghoul Brothers is one of those places where repeat visits will always reveal something different and surprising. Awesome 360-degree set work engaged us and didn’t let go until we staggered out of the final door.’

Maybe the most impressive thing is how they keep coming up with new things every year to fill up their limited space even more. This year’s add-ons, the pumpkin and post-fallout areas, looked as excellent as old favorites like the attic, carnival, and cult room. Keep it coming, Ghoul Brothers!

22/11/2023

Wrapping up our 2023 awards announcements today! Our actor shout-out for Ravenwood Manor Haunted Attraction goes to Nic, who played the Terrifying Toy-Man. Why Toy-Man? We found him in an eerie room full of playthings including stuffed animals, puppets, and dolls. Unfortunately for us, it looked like we were going to be the next playthings. Dressed like a twisted Mad Hatter, fixing us with a crazed look, and speaking with a softly sinister voice, Toy-Man was one of the creepier characters we ran across this season. He inspected us closely (aka got right up in our faces), sniffed us, and told us he’d be keeping us there because we looked ‘nice and crunchy.’ A totally creeptastic performance by the Terrifying Toy-Man!

And, we give our 2023 Theater of Blood Award to Ravenwood Manor on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. As impressive as the setting for this haunt, a real 150-year-old Victorian mansion that looks torn from an Old Dark House movie, was the theatrical approach taken and the cast that made it come together. A character in the first room delivered a long dialogue about the freaks in the house who had formed a family. A guide took it from there, moving us about the house and setting up scenes in each room we visited. Each one was a mini-play of colorful characters and sensational sets. From our review: ‘The attraction offers a pleasingly theatrical take on the old haunted mansion archetype. Also a rather unusual one, as a tour guide brought us from room to room for scenes to play out before us. We’ve only ever seen this kind of treatment at a handful of other places. It was a refreshing, alternative way to go through a haunt. The cast gave expressive performances, vocally and physically, to make the theatrical presentation possible. This game acting troupe put on a good show and brought the house to life.’ For those familiar with the super-theatrical Castle Blood in the Pittsburgh area (as well as the guided scene-by-scene treatment at Pittsburgh-proximate Wells Township Haunted House), the experience was somewhat akin to that. The dramatic trappings matched up well with the remarkably cinematic looks of the house itself.

22/11/2023

The awards roll on! Our actor shout-out for Duda's Haunted Farm goes to Lance Martelli as Hop Hop. A giant and seriously deranged bunny, Hop Hop gave us the Creep Creeps. This rascally rabbit kept popping up (hopping up?) in several scenes of the hayride and then showed up also at the end of the corn maze. Hop Hop looked like gnarly roadkill and brought a sense of mayhem, violence, and madcap zaniness to the various appearances.

And, we give our 2023 Most Memorable Maze Award to Duda’s Haunted Farm on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. Most corn mazes are not really mazes. They typically are fairly linear paths cut through the stalks with perhaps a dead end or turnaround here and there. Not so at Duda’s. Down at this fiendish farm, they take their mazes and make their mazes seriously. From our review: ‘The maze is devilishly difficult. It’s hard to get your bearings and the path is indeed a real maze. You will have to double back and explore multiple options. The directionally challenged are sure to find themselves at wit’s end. It was frustrating and confounding. We have heard that some people remain wandering around in there for upwards of an hour!’ We know there are puzzle-solvers and maze-lovers out there. Get thee to Duda’s, especially at the post-Halloween event called Mayhem, where somehow the labyrinth gets expanded and becomes even tougher to figure out!

21/11/2023

The awards parade marches on! Our actor shout-out for Haunted Hoorah goes to Angie Stooksbury as Nurse Gertrude. After being talked up by other characters as a dangerous customer, the nurse's sudden, shocking appearance in a tightly constrained no-escape area was the scare of the night as it caused the hugest freakout among a large group of people that we witnessed all season. Credit goes to Nurse Gertrude's threatening manner, nightmarish looks, and super-aggressive attack mode.

And, we give our 2023 Non-Stop Action Hero Award to Haunted Hoorah on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. The military-themed attraction drafted us into a real thrill ride. From when we went through basic training complete with push-ups and drill sergeant yelling, to when they told us just before entering the building that the base would soon blow up, through climbing up ropes and crawling over a furnace and coming under rifle fire, to viewing a nuclear bomb explosion and the ensuing trek through a post-apocalyptic nightmare world, we barely had time to catch our breath before getting thrown into the next scenario. From our review: ‘Haunted Hoorah delivered an exciting, hands-on, immersive, uniquely themed experience. We have seen few other attractions go this far, all in and all out, in support of fanatically sticking to the story like Hoorah did. It paid huge dividends in keeping us invested and involved from start to finish. It had quite a cinematic feel to it, like we were walking through a combo of the ‘Overlord’ and ‘Day of the Dead’ movies …with a splash of ‘Aliens’!’ This was a flat-out blast of an adrenalized walkthrough. Thanks Hoorah, for making us feel like genuine action heroes in our own starring role!

21/11/2023

Keeping on with awards! Our actor shout-out for Gorgas Street Horror goes to Samuel L. Fronsman as the Crossroads Demon. This fiend took absolute glee in separating our group to take two different paths, and seemed to find it especially delightful to be sending some of us to Hell instead of Heaven! This demon really played up the part and managed to stand out in a cast full of fun and memorable characters.

And, we give our 2023 Passion Makes It Happen Award to Gorgas Street Horror on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. This newer (2nd-year) attraction grew out of a home haunt. The inventiveness and energy were undeniable and inspiring. From our review: ‘The owners/showrunners come from a home haunt history. That background and the contagious passion accompanying it show up in their excellent, creative, homegrown effects and energetic, unusual characters and performances. It was great to see many locals supporting this fledgling haunt on a rainy night. We felt a strong sense of community while there. It is a real joy to uncover places like this that are clearly a real labor of love. Thank you to Gorgas Street Horror for showing us some real Halloween spirit.’ We will be looking forward to revisiting them and seeing how they grow, especially if they can keep all that enthusiasm alive.

21/11/2023

More awards! Our actor shout-outs for Fear Forest Haunted House and Hayride go to Joseph Lord as the Toes-Takin' Scarecrow and Sal Adonetto as the Mashed-Brains Ghoul. Both rocked a great look and busted out some startling dialogue. Scarecrow had a face full of what looked like corn silk (or maybe that's how lighting made the straw look) and wanted to take our 'toesies' ...for what, we weren't quite sure ...maybe to eat, or just collect?? Ghoul looked spiffy in a bloodied-up suit and declared he would bash our heads in and then mix our brains into his mashed potatoes!

And, we give our 2023 Animatronical Awesomeness Award to Fear Forest Haunted House & Hayride on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. It’s no secret, we love good animatronics. And so we love Fear Forest. The cast is great here and all the effects are keen, but the animatronics made a huge impression. We noticed a metric buttload of the mechanical wonders on the initial hayride, and it just continued from there. Indoor asylum house? Stuffed with animatronics. Outdoor trail? Loaded with animatronics. Cornfield path? Yup, animatronics. From our review: ‘If animatronics are your jam, Fear Forest’s collection just might reduce you to a quivering puddle of fanboy/fangirl jelly. We think they’re trying to set some kind of record here! There seemed to be one around every corner, and they exhibited a huge variety of sizes, shapes, motions, and sounds. They filled out scenes, scared, helped set up live actor scares, and sometimes just took up some space so we had something cool to look at or react to.’ Especially neato were the ones that quickly shot out at us like they got blown out of a cannon. Super cool, super fun, super animatronics!

20/11/2023

It's awards week! Our actor shout-out for Field of Fear goes to Tylar Streichert as Tw***ie. Even though named after a sugary treat, this character was anything but sweet! The young cast member stood above us, screaming at all the little piggies to keep it moving in the livestock auction scene, and dramatically thrusted an axe right in our faces. Tw***ie's sheer volume and wildly enthusiastic belligerence made quite an impression.

And speaking of that scene, we give our 2023 Sweet Show-Stopper Award to Field of Fear on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. During a hayride you climb on the wagon, you get driven around, you exit the wagon at the end. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, not so fast because Field of Fear dared to be different. From our review: ‘On the Back 40 Butcher hayride, we saw something most vehicular attractions don’t attempt. The wagon suddenly stopped, and everyone got off to walk through the livestock area. We haven’t experienced this sort of thing too much, but it was a successful break in the action and tweaked up the immersion with a more up-close and personal experience than usual for a hayride.’ Hey haunts, do more stuff like this! Break it up and shake it up. It really made for a memorable moment and got our blood racing to see what might happen next. Job well done, Field of Fear!

20/11/2023

Let's start Thanksgiving week with more awards for haunts we're always thankful to visit! Our actor shout-out for Distracted Haunted House goes to Nick Klonowski as The Bagger, a tattered scarecrow character. As with most of the monsters at Distracted, the design and look were just superb, with a naturally weathered look topped off by an almost cartoonishly tall hat featuring eye holes cut into the brim. The Bagger acted super creepy, locking one of us in a cage and not letting us out until we promised to pet the bunnies in the next room ...mistake on our part!

And, we give our 2023 Vivid Vision Award to Distracted Haunted House on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. Their theme this year was Fear Living Nightmares and as that implies, the walkthrough consisted of loosely connected scenes. But everything had a unified look and feel. From our review: ‘This is no cookie-cutter haunt, it’s a singular experience. Its unique sensibility brings a fresh and innovative approach…there’s a distinctive sense of phantasmagorical artistry at work.’ For those who tire of seeing clowns or hillbillies for the umpteenth time, or going through yet another tiresome squeeze tunnel or spinning vortex, know that you will not see any of those at Distracted! Credit a strong artistic direction and convincing, cohesive design work that can be summed up in one word: vision.

20/11/2023

Onward with awards! Our actor shout-out for The Hidden Haunted Attraction goes to Jeanette Mase as the Soul Collector. This demonic presence looked pretty fabulous in a horned animal skull, and in a commanding voice demanded a soul sacrifice ...or that we remain as her servants ...or maybe that our skins would be harvested for a swanky new robe, yikes! That area was one of the best on the whole long trail, due in large part to this performance,

And, we give our 2023 Freaky Foreshadowing Award to The Hidden Haunted Attraction on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. The half-hour, one-mile trail featured plenty of space to play with, and play they did as they kept setting us up for scares and upcoming scenes and interactions. Sets were craftily designed to give glimpses of what was awaiting, while concealing the key details and hiding places. Actors would show themselves only to disappear, or run away, or wait as we apprehensively approached. Sounds also played a role in the creepy tension-torquing tactics. From our review: ‘Catcalls and other sounds from areas ahead made us curious or apprehensive about what was coming next. We could hear banging from a long way away and for a long time before we finally reached its source: an actor thumping on barrels who declared they would do the same to our heads. A beaked percussionist knocking away behind a wall as we drew near provided a distraction for another actor to swoop in from the other side. Growls from disembodied voices outside the butcher area ahead saying, ‘yummy yummy, we’re hungry in here’ were amusing and disturbing. They added a sense of discomfort and reluctance to face what awaited us.’ You might say this approach effectively forced us to march on and find …The Hidden!

20/11/2023

It's awards time for the 2023 post-season! First up, the trail awesomely named Maniacs in the Woods. We've got two actor shout-outs here. They go to Tracy Russo, a scary and monstrous mom who hissed at us menacingly when we walked by her while she was rocking her baby, and Shyla Hunter who played an alarming clown who confronted us loudly declaring these were 'my woods!'

And, we give our 2023 Fun-tastic Festiveness Award to Maniacs in the Woods on behalf of TheScareFactor.com. Our first visit in 2021 revealed a fun charity trail brimming with ingenuity and engaging performances, but the queue and other outside-the-attraction areas were very dark and quiet. When we next went for a Friday the 13th event earlier this year, all that had significantly shifted. From our review: ‘One huge difference separating our visits was a radical change in the atmosphere outside the trail. Starting last year, these maniacs have jumped aboard the party bus! They’ve built quite a festive atmosphere with DJs spinning pop horror tunes, multi-colored floodlights, vendors, and multiple food trucks. The vibe pendulum has swung all the way from ‘I wonder if someone will be filming my co**se for a reel or will I die unseen’ to ‘come on shake your body (bag) baby, do the conga!’ That might be a turn-off for some people, but we think it’s a great opportunity to hang out a while longer …which we did.’ It must have taken a mighty effort to put all that together, but now the atmosphere outside matches the fun on the trail. Maniacs in the Woods, we salute you for flipping the 180-switch.

Last month when we went to Reaper's Revenge Haunted Hayride and Attractions, we also made time to hit up nearby Knoebels Amusement Resort for their Hallo-Fun Weekends event. To summarize what we said then, it’s a pretty awesome, affordable, family (and dog!) friendly park. As promised, here’s some info about their seasonal/Halloween-adjacent rides.

The only one of the four there that we didn’t get to go on was the train ride. We’ve heard that like some other choo-choo rides, such as the one at Cedar Point where we get to regularly visit, it goes through a series of skeleton village sets. We’re not sure if that’s all season long or just in the fall, but two of the other rides we went on remain the same throughout the operating calendar.

The first is Black Diamond. It’s an enclosed roller coaster with a dark ride-like setting and experience themed to a haunted mine. It features falling and collapsing props, a couple water features, and a bunch of skeletons, rats, and spiders, as well as some great sound effects and some nice hills and speed-up sections. Pretty swell stuff!

The other is the Haunted Mansion, a fantastic old-fashioned dark ride. It’s a classic that celebrated its 50th birthday this year. The Haunted Mansion has regularly topped or showed up on favorite/best dark ride lists and been recognized by organizations like the Dark Attraction and Funhouse Enthusiasts (DAFE). Any lover of classic dark rides should be thrilled to take a ride on this one. The wonderful ride-through gives a spooky-fun, curvy ride through the interior with tons of props, effects, sounds, and well-loved characters –- like the red, horned, one-eyed blob called the oven monster and a toothy snake that pops out of a grandfather clock – who show up on park merch. This ride is just a damn delight.

Knoebels also creeps up its antique cars ride in a big way. It’s basically taking a slow ride through a succession of haunt sets …with guaranteed no conga lines! Fun sets included a graveyard, evil clown carnival, cornstalks concealing The Nun, a castle, haunted houses/rooms, a shotgun shack, vampire coffins, a group of rather athletic skeletons riding bikes and motorcycles, and lots more. Usually one of the more boring rides at any park, the set dressings really bumped this up into a very enjoyable time. We had to ride during the day, we’re sure the nighttime experience with lights on in the darkness is much cooler.

You can find videos of all these rides on YouTube. But plan on going there yourself to this excellent park with super-fun haunt-y rides!!

Last week we were in Chicago for a full slate of haunting hijinks. We’ve been to Chicago several times, but never for haunts.

We visited 7 attractions in 6 nights: Basement of the Dead, Disturbia, Dungeon of Doom, Evil Intentions, HellsGate, Massacre, and Midnight Terror, meeting up with several other review teams from The Scare Factor along the way. Here are some thoughts:

Overall quality was extremely high. A few of them (we’re thinking mainly of HellsGate and Evil Intentions, along with Massacre) were among the best we’ve ever seen. Costuming and makeup were tremendous, realistic, sometimes gasp-worthy. The actors were remarkably engaging and interactive. Sets and effects well done to the point of awesomeness. Individually speaking…

Basement of the Dead Haunted House Chicago - ultra-cool, frightening journey through sewer tunnel/cave-like environs, much of it dark and foggy, emanating a grungy feel that perfectly fit the subterranean atmosphere

Disturbia Haunted Attraction: Chicago - jam-packed with animatronics and sci-fi/medical themes, it starts with a really cool ‘line up against the wall’ intro; great variety of ingeniously designed and constructed sets

Dungeon of Doom Haunted House - the longest and largest attraction by a good margin, many sets of intricate nature including a Halloween 2 walkthrough that had multiple Michael sightings and probably the best Hellevator effect ever, as well as an extended carnival area where we had to criss-cross a lengthy twisty maze with evil clowns harassing us from above; some keen cult/unholy chapel scenes up front with stained glass windows and storm effects

Evil Intentions Haunted House - more cult theming (lots of that in Chicago, and yay! as it’s a favorite creepy theme for us), housed in a real former casket constructing company; possessed of an eerie, dark feel, fantastic costuming especially in the final room where we stopped and stared in disbelief at the wonderfully grotesque character designs

HellsGate Haunted House - the most gorgeous attraction we’ve seen since Netherworld; the trail leading to the house was worth the price of admission by itself, that featured some impressive structures, especially the Evil Dead-like cabin; the remarkable house was built from scratch but looks like a real, weathered, haunted mansion; absolutely stunning finale, again with cult trappings; simply put, this was one of the best haunt experiences we’ve ever had

Massacre Haunted House - fabulous actors and costuming, awesome effects with three entertaining Hellevator-type rides including a journey on the ‘El’ train; yet more marvelous cult rooms; crazed party-time queue; tons of fun from start to finish

Midnight Terror Haunted House - clown takeover night, so this was the only one where we didn’t get the full regular show, but it was still a blast with manic, funny, scary, supercharged clowns flying around the whole place, the most energetic cast we encountered; presented a mixed-up medley of sets, props, and effects, with lots of industrial scenery
----
Chicagoland attractions should be on every true haunt fan’s wish list. So glad we went and finally experienced them for ourselves!
