Needless to say, I never really thought I would be writing about haunted houses because I still am very hesitant with them. Nonetheless, I have conquered my fear (sure let's go with that) of going into haunted houses. How do you know which ones to go to? Which ones are super scary and which ones are mediocre? Which ones are cheaper and which ones are extremely expensive? In all reality, do we want to pay that much money to be scared half to death? I don't know! Maybe!
These are all the things that need to be taken into consideration. So, which haunted houses are worth your time, money, and sanity?!
1. Abandoned Haunted House Complex
Just the name having "abandoned" in it makes it seem creepy. This is one of the best haunted houses in the Midwest! It is located in Mount Pleasant, Wis. There are many reviews for the Abandoned Haunted House Complex, and they all raved about it, and it got a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. "If you like haunted houses, you DON'T want to miss this one." "Very detailed scenes, music fit the area, actors that knew how to scare us!" "Definitely best scare I've had in a while!"
All of the things we search for in haunted houses people!
2. Forest of Freaks
When it says forest in the title, it means an actual forest, this is not just a theme! Forest of Freaks is located in Janesville, Wis. It is known as Wisconsin's longest and scariest outdoor haunted forest! Forest of freaks website even states that their "facility is Wisconsin’s longest outdoor haunted forest, featuring a choose-your-own-path adventure, amazing special effects, monsters, scary clowns and more, all living in an outdoor haunted forest." Clowns = yikes and hard pass. Those of you who are brave enough, enjoy!
3. The Factory of Fear
The Factory of Fear is located in Racine, Wis. This is one is not a forest or outdoor, in fact it is the exact opposite. They plan to give you nightmares for days through their century-old abandoned warehouse. This one is different in that they have three different levels, so to speak. First one is called Devil's Nightmare, which they say will include everything from zombies to psychopaths. I don't even want to know what that means! The next level, if that one just wasn't enough for you, is called Blind Madness. This one is pitch black, and you can't see anything! That is absolutely terrifying, and if you have enough courage for that, props to you. The last level is called the Last Ride, and this one signifies your coffin and burial. You literally lay in a coffin. Holy cow, yikes!
4. Burial Chamber Haunted House Complex
This one is located in Neenah, Wis. Burial Chamber also got a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. The ratings also said things such as: "Best haunted house around! We usually get the fast pass and go to all three attractions," and, "Burial Chamber has three awesome haunted houses. It is hard to scare me, and I am very picky about haunted houses; but this one is amazing." Sounds like it is definitely worth the drive getting there!
5. Mars Haunted House
Mars Haunted House is located in the city near you, Milwaukee! It is known as one of the best haunted houses in Milwaukee and has a 4.2 rating out of 5 stars! They claim to be Milwaukee's only truly HAUNTED haunted house. Just keep in mind, when you're walking through and something pops out and scares you, is it part of the set?
Enjoy your haunt hunt!
