The attraction offers two separate ticket options - regular and an “Unfeigned Horror Red Bracelet” experience, which may actually involve participants in the actual scares. Customers purchasing standard admission will not be intentionally touched, etc., but will likely be exposed to "vulgar" language that's used throughout the haunt, so be forewarned.
After purchasing tickets, sign in and provide a cell phone number in order to receive a text message when it’s your turn to enter the attraction itself. While waiting, feel free to enjoy all the amenities the site has to offer.
RECAP & ANALYSIS: The experience begins when groups are quickly corralled inside an old west Trading Post by a pistol-packing deputy sheriff nervously warning of impending danger due to the “darkness” that’s coming!” Out of safety concerns, he orders everyone to crouch down, and stations a watchperson at a nearby window. When he feels the moment is right, he rushes everyone out, and points them in the direction of an unrighteous church, adorned with an upside-down cross displayed above the door, near the steeple. Entering initiates some sort of demonic ceremony being conducted by a mysterious, hooded figure whose indiscernible chant promotes the emergence of a seemingly possessed, bent-over-backwards, contortionist insisting on our immediate departure from their satanic cathedral! Escape through a fog-filled cemetery soon discovers a wretched mausoleum inhabited by zombie-like creatures rising from the dead! Living scarecrows divorce their wooden crosses stationed amidst a long-forgotten corn field to harass progression along the torch-lit trail in advance of “The Asylum of the Insane,” where “electro-convulsive” (a.k.a. “electroshock”) therapy is taking place, and one lucky bracelet-wearer is forced into a “feces-filled” bathtub! Other scenes include “The City Morgue,” run by a discontented, long-nosed “undertaker” measuring you up for a casket, then the hillbilly home of redneck cannibals, that finds the diabolical flesh-eaters detaining “chosen” customers in smelly outhouses, while placing others on tables and sprinkling them with the “blood” of past intruders! “Maizie” aims a firearm at trespassers, commanding them at gunpoint to get down on their hands and knees, crawl, and squeal like pigs; moo like cows; and neigh like horses! A captivating voodoo Priest, “Papa Dhamballa,” animates from afar casting ghoulish spells, and making smoke spew up out of the ground; then a Black Bart-like, bunkhouse outlaw offers up some tasty, live cockroaches as his cohort introduces a live rat named “Squeakers” prior to dunking the heads of some “VIP” customers into an old west horse trough! Making a break from the clutches of these belligerent desperados leads the course into a twisting, wooden maze, characterized by uncertain paths, and a couple of dead ends, before a sadistic, mad scientist-like doctor and his crazed nurse practitioner are encountered inside a most unusual laboratory that finds detainees being locked in jail cell-like cages and prepped for their next experiment! One of the captives is eventually freed from his entrapment, but ordered into an operating chair, as the psychotic physician excitedly announces, “Time for surgery,” and begins dousing the patient with his long-dead mother’s hemoglobin, creating a gory, “blood-bath” ending to All Hallows’ Eve Terror Town!
OVH strongly recommends upgrading to the Unfeigned Horror Red Bracelet option! Doing so transforms this seasonal haunted trail into a one-of-a-kind experience that simply isn't available elsewhere! Although the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the removal of aggressive touching, which was so popular during their inaugural season, Terror Town still manages to integrate an interactive aspect for those wishing a little something more from the experience. An all new, lengthier trail is on tap for 2020! Hidden, sliding doors are a welcomed addition, and have been incorporated into scenes cleverly serving to delay exit until the characters are ready for patrons to move on. Décor and detailing have been improved as well.
This second year attraction delivers shocking scares, interspersed with quality acting and meaningful dialogue. In addition to the haunted trail, nightly entertainment is provided in the form of live music, horror movies being shown on a projection screen, roaming performers, saloons, and restaurants serving a variety of food! Various shops that can be browsed comprise the town itself selling a little bit of everything, and giving folks something else to do while waiting for their turn to enter the haunted trail. It all combines to form a festively seasonal atmosphere that's arguably unmatched in the industry!
Please Note: Terror Town advises wearing old clothes or even a poncho as you may get wet, dirty, muddy, “bloody,” or even worse at this attraction if participating in the Unfeigned Horror Red Bracelet option.
