Every Halloween season, it is a tradition to go to as many haunted houses as I can. When I heard about House of screams and wicked dreams, I was surprised by the long name. House of screams is definitely just enough for a name. I then heard the news of the production team of Jack and Jill's joining the House of screams team. I was genuinely excited because Jack and Jill's was my favorite house last year! Last weekend I finally got the chance to go to house of screams, but I was highly disappointed. The production was actually pretty good, but It wasn't scary. The animatronics were not working, they would go off late after you passed them up. Some of the actors literally said the word, "Grrrrrr." The rooms were too spaced out, and they had many opportunities to scare us but didn't take them. There were a few actors that were very good. One that I point to in particular was a girl with long black hair. I was genuinely creeped out. This has the makings of being a great haunted house. But right now, it still needs tons of work and love.
Things they need to fix:
Animatronics
Statues that do nothing
Work on timing with actors
More detail
Smaller spaces
Get rid of clowns, or do something different with them.
Things that are great:
A few of the actors
The story, although it needs a little work
Good concepts
Some production
This could be a great haunted house!
