The Crypt

From Dottie: This one was not as good as St. Lucifer's and Cell Block 13, but still a good solid haunted house. It is about 5 minutes up the road from those two. I think I would go to this one first, since its not quite as A+++ as the other 2. I give it a B. (Trixie's side kick gave it an A, being less of a haunt snob than us.) It had nicer set ups, but in lots of rooms, and I was lonely for a monster and a scare. Too many machine monsters. The pitch black parts were great, but no monster came. :( The seaweed monsters were very scary. No monsters were out in line to pre-scare me. :( The chainsaw was good at the end because I didn't hear him coming.

From Trixie: I was a little leery that this one would not stand up to St. Lucifer's or Cell Block 13, but I was pleasantly surprised. One of my favorite parts was going over a bridge through a rotating mirrored tube. The optical illusion made you feel like you were going to fall off. I could have stood there for an hour. There were corridors that were completely pitch black, and some music or a monster would have added a special touch in these sections. I was also disappointed that there were no monsters outside while we were in line, and the Halloween soundtrack that they played over and over consisted of 3 songs. (I started to rap to the Halloween theme song). At the end of it my sidekick, Tiger, pushed me out of the way and I nearly fell over as he ran for his life trying to get away from the chainsaws. That was one of the funniest things all night.

Saint Lucifer's Asylum 2009

Trixie: This was my favorite last year and once again it's my favorite this year. This haunted house is very scary! The psychotic patients pop out of strange places and follow you every where. A lot of maze-like corridors and dark corners for them to hide. Many times what I thought was a prop jumped to life at us just as we passed by. We screamed and laughed so hard, especially at the end when the awe-inspiring chainsaws chased us out of a narrow corridor to the parking lot. Can't wait to go again next year!!!

Dottie: OUTSTANDING. Time to take an October vacation to Flint, Michigan. Oh Yeah. Flint is the center of the haunting universe. Saint Lucifer's was my favorite last year and is again this year. The monsters were AMAZING. The very best scare was when one monster scared the crap out of me, then another one snuck up on me, and there was even a third all at once. The levels of my screams were piled on top of each other. Everywhere I looked I was scared. A+++ monsters. They also kept in character, but not overacting. Just plain creepy and scary. This was the first haunted house where I actually thought I wanted the nightmare to be over - get me out. DELICIOUSLY DEVILISH. SUCCULENTLY SCARY. FABULOUSLY FRIGHTENING. Plus the price was reasonable. Waiting in line was great because there was a real girl hanging from hooks. I just couldn't look away. Mmmmmm. I love Halloween.
