I didn't have high hopes for the barn since a friend had visited it the year before and was unimpressed. But, being haunted house aficionados, we know that building your attraction each year is expected and can completely change a haunt from one year to the next. We were pleased to see that they had apparently added a 'room' visible from the long line-up. Unfortunately, the changes were mostly cosmetic without much real consideration of the suspense and attention to detail that makes a good scare.
The Barn has no story; doesn't create a mood; uses too bright and boring lighting; and relies almost entirely on expensive looking props that don't move or do anything particularly scary. The few actors we met didn't bother with timing and seemed bored- as were we.
Incredibly disappointing for an adult. Might be fun for kids. I get the feeling it stopped being fun for the owners as well.
