To start us off, we went on a very rainy evening, so there was only one group ahead of us when we walked up. We did not have a terribly long time to spend with the line actors, but Havoc and Sinister were out there. As usual, Havoc was his usual bipolar self bouncing back and forth between giggling while playing with my hair, and growling at me and being a big old grumpy butt. It’s usually a 50\50 chance on which personality you are going to get out of him, but it’s definitely entertaining to see both! Sinister just always seems happy and ready to cause some awkward moments for me. They never fail to crack me up and make me smile. 

Now, keep in mind that Halloween Blast has been going to this haunt for two years now and have become very familiar with the layout, so we notice the tiniest details that have been changed or new actors in the haunt. This year, they SERIOUSLY amped up the elevator! “Not Blade” even had a rough time staying on his feet, and he’s their percussive maintenance man. It’s LITERALLY his job to make sure you get from point A to point B unscathed! As we got off the elevator, we enter a church. The priest explain the rules to us then told us to stand up. once we got up, he told us to sit down. Then back up again and to get on our knees. it was a tight space to kneel down but then he started laughing at us. i think he was mess with us and i don’t think he was a real priest. Another room I had fun with was the black out room with the rags(strings also maybe?) hanging from the ceiling. Every so often a strobe will go off for maybe a second or two and as I was feeling around in the middle of the room looking for the door, I slapped the Halloween Blast owner in the face! I was laughing so hard, I had to explain it to the D.E.A.D. Rising owners when we got back outside! 

One of my fellow reviewers also got scared really bad when he found a hidden room with an actor hanging out in it. It was pitch black and small, so when the light came on, he nearly jumped out of his skin! There’s a few more rooms to the haunt, but I think I’ll let you find out about the rest yourself. I can’t reveal EVERYTHING! All I know is that every year, we fight over who is all going to D.E.A.D. Rising because we all have so much fun there. If you are looking for a fun night out with a small group of friends, I highly recommend D.E.A.D. Rising. I can guarantee, you’ll have a blast! for tickets go to https://deadrisinghauntedhouse.com/
