Summary:

Instead of sticking to a specific theme as they had in previous years, this season Frightmare presented numerous types of themes throughout the haunted house.  A number of the scene elements like windows, doors and various props were created via artwork painted on the walls, that glowed under blacklights. The mirror maze was nice and I also liked the clown room.  Other notable scenes were the haunted forest with the chainsaw-wielding maniac and the cornstalk maze.  Most of the props were consistent with the scenes they were in; however there was one exception.  In the graveyard, there was an animatronic bed that launched a mannequin at you, but it didn't really seem to fit in with the general theme of the scene.  

Most of the actors seemed very enthusiastic, but a number of their attacks were poorly timed, thus making the scares less effective.  About half of the actors seemed to be young kids (very short) which made them, in general, less intimidating.  There were a couple of times that I was caught off-guard, though.   The actors did have a few great hiding spots.  

Since this event wasn't overly scary, it would be appropriate for patrons of all ages.  Overall they did a pretty good job this year, but for the admission price I wish it had lasted a little longer. Since this event is held at a family entertainment center, there are enough activities for an entire evening of fun.   Besides the Haunted House, there are many other attractions, including mini-golf, video games, go-kart track, batting cages and more, to keep you occupied.
