The Cutting Edge
This haunted house is more huge than huge, and is the biggest walkthru haunted house in the world. Just verified, so stuff that in your haunt pipe and smoke it. In this the 20th season haunted house it is without a doubt Todd James' best effort yet. The actors were professional and timing impeccable. The vision depravation you experience while taking the hour long stroll through the haunt is very unique. Over the years the lighting vs artistic vision of the haunt has been perfected. Just try to imagine as a verteran or novice of haunts, suspending reality for the next hour and experiencing a hour long nightmare come true. Changes to this year’s version includes a 20,000 sq ft addition called Uncle G’s Haunted Bayou. The music and sound system in this place is second to none, the drummers are freaking kick ass as well. Avoid the foam if you can, and can someone please help me find the I want to live door just once in my stinking life? The sets are getting better and better each year as led lighting is added for a better view. I mean where else can you walk through a 100 year old building build on "hells half acre"? The horns, multiple vortex tunnels, and other violent sounding and moving props, combined with the actors make this haunted house a can't miss. The Cutting Edge in Fort Worth, TX needs to be at the top of your list. If you don't believe me check out hauntworld.com and note they are in the top 13, or ask the Travel Channel, Guiness, or even Bam Margera. This is a MUST VISIT! Try showing up at opening, but if you wait in the line that moves at a nice pace, you will enjoy the music.
The Haunt House
This is a haunted house in Caddo Mills, TX without a doubt this is not only the best showing of this haunted house yet, this is very easily one of the very top haunted houses in the state. The costumes and acting were beyond frightening, the attention to detail pained in every room of this haunted house will cause you to stare. The only issue is while you are staring the actors will appear. These are not 4 foot kids in costumes bought at a retail store. These are grown monsters spawned from your deepest darkest nightmares. I promise you if you are under 10 this place will traumatize you for life. The lighting is done to perfection, you can see everything you are supposed to, but it does stay dark enough to keep within the theme of terror. There were a few complete areas of darkness where your anxiety will rise. This is guaranteed as a pretty lady was so scared when we were there, she fell to the ground and soiled her pants……This takes about 25 minutes to go through, and any visitor this year will not be disappointed.
Pros:
The décor in the haunt is excellent
The actors stay in character and are unbreakable
The haunted house will leave you shaken
Cons:
The drive to Caddo Mills from Fort Worth and lesser Dallas is a bit far, so it is best to carpool.
Necropolis
In 2010 Necropolis is a haunted house that stands on its own. It stood out so much from old haunt park last year that I am glad they are now in their own place. It features an insanely acted theme of scare and torment you will feel very scared by the actors following you and listening to what they tell you and how they act in front and around you.. The set designs, lighting, and themes were very crazy scary. The haunt features a white sheet maze that maybe me crazy. Not the mazes cause that, but the actors in the maze. They have very special things you will not see done in any other haunt in the USA. The lighting was fine and not too dark or bright. The walk through the haunt took around 20 to 25 minutes long, and while in there you will feel like you living in a different world, a very scary haunted one. You need to answer the call of a great haunted house and visit this haunted house. While a little agility is needed at times, and the scenes that you will witness will immerse you in the nightmare of nightmare and violence you will witness at Necropolis
Pros:
The actors were great, and all seemed very professionally training in the acting and scare you
It is within minutes of about 3 other haunted houses, so you can definitely make time you see this, as it is definitely a wild ride
Cons:
Within the area it is in, it is a tad hard to find
If you can’t get on your knees and hands you will have a hard time getting in
Reindeer Manor
The Reindeer Manor Abusement Park provides three separate attractions: 13th Street Morgue, Dungeon of Doom, and Reindeer Manor.
This year, one thing ran consistant through all 3 haunts. Great acting. Though the various haunts characters were not broken, as late as it was when we arrived, they were all still ready to scare the crap out of us I can't say enough about the incredible actors. Their characters are engaging and can cause you to feel fear or sympathy.
The impressive costumes and characters provide a creepy and unsettling aura. The timing is well paced to keep you on edge for the entire attraction.
Another interesting aspect was that the crowd could get involved with part of the “show.” There are several moments where the crowd members can be left behind, snatched away, or run at you screaming. The set design for all three attraction vary, and stick to the theme of the particular haunt, but by far my favorite is Reindeer Manor, it takes the longest to get though, and the different environments you enounter is like none other, the scenes you witness will stay with you long after you leave. Dungeon or Doom and 13th street morge are excellent, but for my tastes just the iceing on the horror cake of Reindeer Manor. It is well worth the trip out here for first timers and veterans alike.
Pros:
The place is a landmark among DFW haunts and improves each year
The lines move quickly
I can't count the number of times I was shocked
Definitely One of the top tier haunted houses in the country
Cons:
Some may not enjoy the theatrical parts of the presentation that the haunts provides.
You have do do a lot of squatting in a few of the haunts
Slaugherhouse
As we to walk through the haunt, guided primarily by strobe lights, I noticed the spooky music was blaring, punctuated by deafeningly loud bus horns. The actors and actressed immediately started jumping out at us and surprising us on many occasions, Seeing some crazies locked up behind cages provided little solice to our comfort
Nothing is too unique here but excuted to near Some of the people working at Slaughter House look like they would have been scary without their costumes on
These guy were huge, and possibly on weekend work release from the near by jail.... The girls were we with left my ears ringing for hours. The haunted house is a little short but still a great mainstay to visit in downtown. The lighting and set design flow well, except for when you encounter the chain saw wielding psycho. I would not miss this place as far as my haunted house to do list, and this may have one of the best locations in town, you can do it in addition to being at bars or clubs down town, or do those things after attending this house, I suggest the second sceniro
Pros:
Location, Location, Location
The actors are VERY scary
Cons:
Did not take very long to go through
Did not see a whole lot of changes from the previous year
Tayman Graveyard
Tayman Graveyard has four haunted attractions in one. There is a haunted hayride, funeral home haunt, mineshaft and swamp. We parked in a remote lot and were shuttled to the main gate of the graveyard. The first thing you see is a creepy graveyard with a bloody fountain in a remote area. We went on the hayride, funeral home, mine shaft and swamp. The order was quite random.
The haunted hayride was classic. Our driver, who was also the owner, was telling us a creepy story as the actors randomly jumped out from the trees and banged on the sides of the hayride. This poor guy in a white hoody kept getting the attention of the actors and spooking out. The hayride had a black light that made him stand out a bit. It was really entertaining but not all that scary.
The funeral home haunt was a different story. The funeral home was well decorated and the actors were jumping out after you. It’s what you would expect from a well put together haunted house. Sorry, no spoilers on all of the boy scouts hard work. The mineshaft was your classic maze with a creepy old time feel. I had the hardest time finding my way out of that place. The last spot we visited was the haunted swamp. The actors were popping out everywhere in the swamp like area. There was no shortage of spots of people to surprise you from there. There is not a better location as far as land and venue for a haunted house there this place. The old Addamsville Terror Complex used to be here and it was big shoes to fill, I promise you a night out at Tayman Manor is worth it, fun, and will scare a few times guranteed.
Pros:
A variety of different types of haunts
Run by a good group of people for a good cause
Great Halloweenish' Ambiance
The actors young and old work hard
It is for a great cause
Cons:
Some of the actors are a bit short
Terrorplex
Wolfman’s Curse
Is such a nice addition to Terrorplex, and kicks the crap out of the old Temple of Annubus, and took about 10 minutes to go through. I was lost a couple of times due to great timing of the actors inside. I definately enjoyed this haunt, and it was free to attend with the purchase of the other two tickets, not to mention the Maze in the same park.
The lighting was darker, the actors had their timing down pat. We went though with a huge group, and the actors and actresses were very good and surprising the group instead of just an individual
Midnite Manor
Midnite Manor I wasn’t too excited when I first walked in and heard the sound of talking but no action, but some jerk broke the animtronic skull. The haunt redeemed itself immediately after, we went through with a few girls who were afraid, their yelling and screaming was an indication the actors knew what they were doing with well timed surprises. This haunted house in in the Terrorplex park and one of three legitimate haunted houses. I have gone for years to this placeand was thilled to see how exiting it still was to go through. The props, the creepy feeling walking through this place, the unique smells, and just an overall great effort make this a must see.
Van Helsing’s Haunted House of Wax
Patrick Matthews looks like a psychopathic killer, and that is before he gets into costume. Without a doubt this is the best effort he has ever put into his haunt. It is longer, scarier, and more detail oriented then ever before. Once again we went though with another group, and I thought a few of the girls were about to have a nervous breakdown. The macabe is unmatched in any other haunt in Texas. You take a horror tour though this place, it has a great mixture of actors and animitronics. I was completely blown away by his latest effort as I was not exactly sure what to expect in changes from previous years
Pros:
The lines get kind of long for a reason
The location is fantastic
The three haunts allow you to make a night of it at one location
Cons:
The parking sucks, a truck is ideal
The lines to get in can get long
Zombie Manor
I love Zombies and Zombie Manor has some of the best acting and looking ones I have ever seen. The creepy decor and actor’s makeup give visitors that nervous itch. If you've ever had a nightmare after watching a Zombie flick, these folks figured out a way to bring it to life. In addition to the great costumes and set, the actors were dead men walking. We walked up to Zombie Manor and were greeted by both the long dead and recently decomposing. Also the Zombie Hunters you encounter are terrific characters adding to the realism of the experience. The actors succeeding in scaring or surprise everyone in our group. I always try to be the tough one. Every time I go to a haunted house I try to get the actors to break character with a subtle high five or my own eerie cackle. Sometimes it works, but these folks were only interested in getting their scare on. The timing of the spooks was really good. They combined technology in ways I could not have ever imagined, did I mention this technology may get you a bit wet? I hate to admit it, but they surprised me quite a few times (my tough man way of saying I wasn't scared.. As we went through the haunted house although busy outside, they spaced the visitors well, I didn't see another alive soul, only dead ones. The music, sound effect, and lighting we kick butt. So if you are into Zombies, check it out, if not check it out anyways and you will be by haunt end. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get through the haunt
Pros:
They stick to the theme better than any haunt out there
Easily one of the best haunted houses in TX
Their actors cannot be distracted
You will have a hard time finding a more uniquely designed, scary haunted house in TX then this one
The location is excellent if you want to do a few different haunts in a night.
Cons:
It have is that it could have been longer.
