One of the best haunted house I have been to this Halloween. The zombie shooting was lots of fun. My kids loved that.

Madhaunter's Madhouse offers Midway entertainment, concessions, food trucks, games, and multiple pre-trail attractions, including a whole second attraction, The Precurser. All of which can be enjoyed before entering The Wickedest Show on Earth! A 30-45 minute outdoor trail filled with fright.
