Hayride of Horror And Curse of the Bayou
Halloween Blast went to Hayride of Horror And Curse of the Bayou. It is located at 199 Woods Drive. Lock Port, IL. 60441. Tickets are $15 for single attraction, $25 for the combination pass to see both attractions and $35 for speed pass to both attractions. Parking is free!
The first haunt we went through was The HayRide of Horror. It’s a very interactive hayride. They have characters that walk up to the moving hay ride and even hop onto the moving Hay ride and interact with you!. When you drive through the tunnel, search high and low because characters are everywhere! In the Dell Wood cemetery, Intestines get pulled out so hold onto your own intestines! Also, watch out for Jason, he will follow behind you at random point of your journey.
In The Curse of Bayou, you walk on foot through the haunt. In the forgotten cemetery, all the forgotten souls will join you on your adventure! I really felt like I was in a movie. They really surround you and it was pretty creepy. Skeleton boy will greet you and see if your worthy enough to meet the Queen. If you are, I wish you all the luck. You will greet the queen on the way through the cemetery.The queen had two zombies on chains as they try to attack us. If you are already scared walking through it, you will be even more scared now because at this point, they split you up. Choose wisely, for you have a choice between your heart or your mind! Which door will you pick?
I just want to say, I was blown away by the acting at this haunt. I was told by the owner herself that the youngest actor is 6 years old but the parent must be there at all times. All the haunts I have been to, all the actors are at least 16 years old or older. These kids are amazing! I could not believe they were young kids acting! All those kids had so much high energy! NONE of them broke character! The oldest actor is 70 years old. That’s incredible! It takes A LOT of stamina to be a haunter, no matter your role. Please be sure to dress warm! It is an outside haunt! If it rained the night before, be sure to wear appropriate shoes because it will get muddy!
