Nine out of Ten haunted houses are cheesy for adults. Nine out of ten haunted houses leave you laughing at the level of cheesiness. However, Monsterland is not nine out of ten haunted houses. Monsterland actually makes me squeal with haunted delight.
The Monsterland creators really put some serious time, thought and love into their haunted house or as they call it, the horror museum. Each room has a different theme from the history of haunts. It starts with early century haunting with themes such as Phantom of the Opera and Dracula and moves on through the haunt with themes like the mad scientist and plenty of ghosts, goblins and creeps. I like this haunt because it was created with such care that it doesn't look cheesy as you walk through. The rooms are constructed well, it's dark and dreary, the mechanics are par with a scene from a movie and yes, they even have props from famous horror movies! But for me, the actors really make Monsterland stand out from all the rest. They hired real actors to fright the crowd and trust me, it's impossible to know when a real life actor is going to jump out and scare you. They hide throughout the haunt and make it appear to be a prop but *BOO* it's actual and actor!
This is definitely a haunt worth checking out and I think old and young alike would like it. It's a great date night spots and worth taking kids too as long as they are old enough to realize it's all pretend.
I can't wait to go back and visit the next phase when it turns into a horror museum that's open all year round!
