    This was one of my top 2 haunts at Knott's this year. I thought the storyline and sets were super coherent and filled the space well.

    This is one of the first haunts I've encountered where standard elements like the dot room or a terror tunnel flow naturally into one overall theme. This was one of my top two haunts at Knott's this year -- it was visually interesting, it made me rethink elements I have seen before, and the storyline made sense.

    The concept and exterior were better than most of the execution on my opinion. I thought they could have done a lot more with small realistic spiders or projections, rather than really fake looking super spiders. I liked a few of the elements -- actors bent at odd angles blended nicely with people cocooned in the walls -- a pulsing egg -- a spidora like figure -- but overall it felt really hokey to me instead of either campy or scary.

    The actors had the most fun and personality in this section. Most talked in squeaks and noises but a memorable one rode around on a rascal heckling people. I generally think clowns are plaid out but this was adorable.

    The storyline is super muddled on this one.

    I think it is a fantastic idea to set war as a terrifying backdrop. I have no idea how we got to that backdrop after some graffitied pallets and a modern campsite scene that I hear was good but missed because the people ahead were too slow.

    I had high hopes for this and was baffled by the choices. There was a cool scare early on involving a half person and another involving the hall of presidents, but then it devolved into the torture chamber segment of Tussauds in a way that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone who didn't know that wax museums often have these sections. There was so much they could have done with melted celebrity figures and masks and etc that they seemed to suggest would be the case from the outside patter, and I couldn't comprehend the lack of these things on the inside.

    Lots of awesome set pieces devoid of actors or story.
