Downs Haunted House

I’ve been to quite a few haunted houses now. One memorable experience was a haunted house done by an apostolic church, where you were the victim of the Saw movie, watching yourself on a TV screen. Another one in Neoga, Illinois, had you crawling over plexiglass with scary things popping out from underneath, which was pretty intense. Of course, there was also the classic chainsaw guy running toward you. I’ve also been to a haunted house where the room was so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, and clowns would creep up on you with lights on their faces. That one definitely stood out for the fear factor. As for the one we went to yesterday, it didn’t quite match the same vibe. The acting wasn’t that great, and while it only took 30 minutes to get in with online tickets, we did catch up with the group in front of us at one point, which made us slow down to avoid ruining the experience. The scariest part was probably the slaughter room, and the funny ending with dancing clowns—yes, clothed, but still funny! It was a unique start to October. We’ve also been to Necrosis as well as a few local haunted backyard mazes. This was a tad bit less scarier than Necrosis, yet I still wouldn’t go in by myself so 4 stars.

It was fun and the people were very nice and professional. Or...I guess since this is a haunted house I should say they were terrifying and horrible!! Ghastly props and cruel, well thought out out rooms designed to rip your very soul out of your body! Recommended

First time at this haunt and the first haunted house experience for our granddaughters (15 and 9 year old twins). Overall, it's a great set up, fun community event, and passionate volunteers that make it all happen. A huge shout out to all who participate. The scare actors were all great, sets well designed (hallways a bit tight in several places), and varied sound effects that all really set the mood. The only negative was one of the granddaughters became very scared when the scare actors were circling her and she started to cry. Instead of backing off, they continued to circle her (we were surrounding her too). Grandpa told them to back off and we picked her up and moved on. She settled down eventually and today she said she had fun, so overall a fun family experience.

The haunted house itself was a lot of fun and met my expectations for the 12$ ticket. Most people were very scary, fun and festive. However, some of the staff was very unpleasant, especially the last lady who let us out of the tent area. She was super rude to me, not friendly at all to anyone in my group, and didn't look like she wanted to be there. She made multiple personal jabs at me that, the more I look back at it, were not her being in character at all. She really rubbed me the wrong way, but I didn't let her kill my vibe. Also the line making was sloppy in my experience and for some reason one of the kids in the haunted house was being very rude to me as well. Weird night. Had some good scares, I would go again.
