2010 Haunt World Rates Us #1 in Texas!

The Top Ten Haunted Houses In Texas
by Paul Bardfield

I had a mission; more like a dream opportunity to review the best haunted houses in Texas this year. I picked 26 haunts to visit based on recommendations, previous experience and reputation. If the haunted house season was only a few weeks longer I may have made it to a few more. Texas haunted houses are some of the best in the nation and here we've reviewed some of the haunted attractions located in Texas. We plan to review more haunted houses in Texas soon so keep checking back for more reviews. The haunts are listed backwards from 10 to number 1... do you have a different ranking then email us and tell us what you think!!!

1. The Haunt House, Caddo Mills, TX

I can’t rave enough!!!! The Haunt House provides a classic style walk through with beautifully detailed scenes and unique design. If you have never seen The Haunt House, then you are definitely missing out! If you have seen The Haunt House before, then you absolutely have to see them again. So many new things to see, you won't believe that they added everything in just one season. Their hard work and dedication to the haunt experience truly shines through the quality design and performance. It was long, the actors scared me a few times, that doesn’t happen to me much. That’s why this is the best haunt in Texas.

Atmosphere

The Haunt House looks absolutely perfect from the outside. Although right next to the highway, the setting coupled with roaming characters will make you wonder if you just stepped into a horror movie. Someone waiting in line even asked us, "what used to be here? Did someone live here?" That type of question means that The Haunt House has effectively created a façade design that tricks your senses into believing it is a real house.

Set Design/Detail/Floor Plan

If you loved The Haunt House last year, then you will love it even more this year. A new building and an extended walk through outside creates even more thrilling pleasures and eye candy to the overall experience. One particular addition made us stop in our tracks and just stare in awe - a down ramp surrounded by wooden crate slats with slow colored strobe lighting - it creates an unbelievable effect that you must see to fully appreciate. The new 'mine shaft' hallway was also cleverly lit from the bathroom area to make you feel like you were about to go underground. The Haunt House has so much new stuff to see- even some authentic cow bones, rustic tools, other antique pieces, and more interesting touches throughout. Take some time to look around!

Live Actors (Performance/Enthusiasm/Costumes)

We noticed a couple of actors that seemed 'brand new' and might not have perfected their performances yet. But for the most part, almost every live person inside The Haunt House portrays experience and skill. Performances in the form of startles and of scripted characters both bring out the best of the surrounding details. Wonderful experience!

Admission Price vs. Length (Entertainment Value)

The Haunt House is longer this year. The Haunt House is very reasonably priced at just $15. Since parking is free, this is not only affordable, but it is also a great value for how much The Haunt House has to offer.

Overall Experience/Summary/Misc. Information

The Haunt House provides a classic style walk through with beautifully detailed scenes and unique design. If you have never seen The Haunt House, then you are definitely missing out! If you have seen The Haunt House before, then you absolutely have to see them again. So many new things to see, you won't believe that they added everything in just one season. Their hard work and dedication to the haunt experience truly shines through the quality design and performance.

Located on the south side of I-30 to the west of Caddo Mills, Haunt House is a single attraction haunt. The time needed to make it through will depend on your ability to avoid getting lost. The group we went in with needed five minutes more than we did to get out.

Haunt House goes from being fairly bright to extremely dark at several points. You will not be able see in at least three parts of the house, so you will have to feel your way along the walls to make it through. Shock pads on some of the walls add to the excitement, while in another area vines on the wall make it truly creepy to work your way out of the darkness.

My favorite new area of Haunt House is the foggy, outdoor area in the middle of the house, while the checkered hallway with it's uneven floors is a nice touch that I haven't seen since Phantom's went under. One hallway with fog and strobe lights in the background looked good enough for me to stare at for a minute, and the quality of the props and decor is excellent throughout the haunt. The cocooned bodies in one hallway feel realistic, which points to why I like Haunt House so much, it has great detail in every area, even ones where they could have gotten away with less quality.

The actors take every opportunity to surprise you, and there are plenty of good opportunities for that given how dark the house is. Props are used well to distract you while actors sneak up as you're checking out the decor.

Haunt House has a very high fright factor and everyone we saw coming out had a great time. It's easy to get to from I-30 and it isn't very far from Dallas, so I highly recommend that you check out this outstanding haunted house this season!
