Starting off, Psychosis is in the middle of Sunny Acres farm. There are a TON of concessions and small stores all around. There was even a hayride running when we went, but that is part of Sunny Acres, not the haunt. There were also a few “line actors” walking around the farm in general. The haunt is not very large yet, as they moved to this location and have more props than they have space for currently. However, they are hoping to expand next year.
Going in, you are given a ticket which is taken from you as you enter the haunt. The haunt is essential built in a barn in the middle of a farm. Parts of the haunt that stuck out to me were the coffin room, alien guy, and the very end. They are not in this order actually, but you can tell what really stuck with me afterwards. I will be honest, I figured out the gimmick in the coffin room before it happened. The fun part is figuring out which person in that room is going to come at you.
The owner of Halloween Blast and my fellow manager really like the room with the alien and the doctor. He was very convincing even though his thing is mainly to ignore you and focus on the alien. What they liked him was that even after we left the room, you could still hear him talking in tongues to it.
The best part was when I walked into the last room and I see this guy with a mask skewered to a table and like the typical idiot I am, turn around to my group and said, “Oh my god! The killed Jason!”. My boss just blinked at me and says, “That’s …that’s not Jason”. This was perfect because the guy in the room with us walks over, rips the face off of the prop, and laughs at me. He then points behind him and who rounds the corner? Jason. I was so mortified, but I couldn’t stop laughing! Probably the dumbest I’ve felt at a haunt in a few years, but the timing could not have been better.
All in all, I had a lot of fun at this haunt. It was my first time going here and considering they downsized when they moved locations, they did a really great job with the space they had. They had so much more they wanted to put in and still managed not to clutter their rooms or bounce around their theme. Everything was linear and everyone worked together to make our time enjoyable. I really hope you stop by to see for yourself how great a haunt this is. Great job to Psychosis employees and owners! Keep it coming guys! We are looking forward to more.
