statesville haunted prisonr

I recently took my 6 year old daughter. Oh my god. What a haunted house. Actually it was two haunts at one location. The Stateville prison haunt has absolutely nothing to do with the near by state prison. Its just a very good prision themed haunt on a large pumkin farm. I have been to six different haunted houses this year. This by far is the best I've seen.

I love Haunted Houses! I love the thrill of them! Statesville disappointed this year. I went on Halloween, and it just wasn't scary. There was too much stopping and starting--shuffling you into a room to hold you, then let you go. I get the prison theme, but it just wasn't scary. I also did the Zombie paintball. Skip the paintball! It was pretty lame. I think for as much as they charge, they need to step it up. I went to another haunted house and that was worth the money! But Statesville overcharges and is just not worth it. I went in the past, and it was better, but this year was just meh. I'm writing this review so that next year they can step up their game!

If you are looking for a haunted house then look no further and go here! Chicago Tribune said this is #4 on the Chicagoland haunted house list. While I have not been to all of the top 4 I can tell you they got it wrong. We went to what they said was the #1 haunted house in Montgomery and Statesville beat it easily.

Statesville Haunted Prison was scary as could be. They paid attention to details and was really a cool deal.. We also done the zombie paintball. It was as bad as the prison was good. Skip the paintball!!! I would definitely recommend the VIP tickets. We went on a Thursday night and it was jumping!

I read so many reviews on this place and it was a love / hate thing. I took my kids and their friends and had a blast. We went on a weeknight as soon as they opened. The crowd quickly grew after we arrived. We waited about 1/2 hr to get in. It was a really fun experience. I wasn't terrified but the teenage girls we had with us were. I look forward to going again next year
