For one admission price, you get to wander three distinctly horrific areas: House of the Vampyres, Sanctuary of Insanity and Zombie Kingdom (much of it painted in 3-D colors, which -- thanks to the glasses you'll be handed as you go in -- is wicked cool). The seriously creepy stuff includes Claustrophobia Hall (if you don't like enclosed places, prepare for your worst nightmare), a series of skull-covered walls where some ghouls have a tendency to walk quietly behind you, brushing your shoulder ever so lightly once in a while. Yeah, we could live without the opaquely dark stretches (groping in total darkness gets old fast) and the demons who come right up to your ear and scream. But those are quibbles. This place is certainly not for the faint of heart. RATINGS: (KEY: Awesome, 4; Scary good, 3; Slightly spooky, 2; Snooze-fest, 1) Costumes: 4 Fright factor: 3.5 Value: 3 |
