| - Let me first say that I'm a pretty tough cookie. You may startle me, but scaring me just isn't gonna happen. That being said, I went into Fear Farm with a predisposed side-eye.
The set up was different. Fear-Con was also going on, so it gave it a sort of Cirque de Halloween atmosphere; very carnival-like.
There were 5 different haunted house attractions. We got there around 6pm on the Saturday night after Halloween, and it wasn't too crowded. We were the first ones in the general admission line for the house where you have to crawl. (Thank you to the reviewers who mentioned this! I'm OCD so I brought my gloves so I wouldn't have to touch the ground.) I actually didn't have to crawl though. Maybe because I'm short? Maybe because I'm a good squatter-walker? I don't know, but I made it through on 2 feet.
I was going to try to break down the 5 houses, but they're getting jumbled together in my head... There was a clown house. There was a creepy, Louisiana bayou house. A corn maze ( All of the houses included a corn maze though.) The Alien house. And the worst (for me): La Llorona. I don't like her, and I wasn't expecting her, so she freaked me out! There were a lot of chain saws in my face and creepy whisperings in my ear. Oh, and the Jeepers Creepers bus was cool too!
I like that they let us go in by ourselves and they spaced the groups nicely so it was just us. (Except the Alien house. There was no one in the line and they still made us enter with a group. We entered and then fell back and waited for the others to move ahead.)
Lots of food vendors (fry bread, funnel cakes, curly fries, slushies, etc), and it was big and spread out.
Overall, I had a lot of fun, and felt that it was worth the money.
($2 off coupons were available at 7-Eleven. I noticed that Groupon offered discounts in September of last year and this year. I'll be ready next year!)
