Summary:

The tour began in a "Hellevator", which was an enclosure that used sound effects, flashing lights and a moving floor to simulate a turbulent ride on an elevator.   The elevator operator was a very odd character who repeatedly stated that I may not live through the experience.  Continuing on through the attraction, there was an array of scenes with various themes.  The dungeon had grey stone walls, a lot of cobwebs and a girl with her wrists tied up above her head.  As the patrons walked by, she begged to be set free.  There was an area resembling a scene from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  A girl was chained to the wall and several bloody, severed heads hung from the ceiling.  Before the group left the scene, Leatherface jumped out of a hiding place and attacked them with a power saw.  The next room was a bathroom with blood-smeared walls and body parts everywhere.  In another part of the house, there was a clown room with multi-colored lights, colorful 55 gallon drums, clown mannequins that hung from the ceiling, as well as a couple of real clowns that sprung to action, when the group entered the scene.  They also had a cage maze with loud rock & roll music playing, along with multiple strobe lights to disorient you.  Inside the maze, there were a couple of actors to taunt patrons and lead them in the wrong direction.  Toward the end of the attraction, there was a very dark maze with a surprise or two.  Other scenes included a bedroom, creepy nursery and a playroom where the stuffed animals came to life.   

Many of the actors in this attraction high energy performances and were very eager to scare.  There were a couple, however, like the girl in the nursery and the elevator operator, who were more creepy than scary.  For the most part, all of the actors did a great job and stayed in character.    

The X-treme Hauntings crew did a great job this year.  I've seen this event evolve over the past couple of years and I can't wait to see what they come up with in the future.  Be sure to stop by this attraction if you get the chance!
