Awesome time. Good benefit.

VERIFIED

This trail went beyond my expectations. Lots of actors. Lots of unexpected surprises. Some of it is very tight and narrow, getting you almost face to face with the scares!

Decent haunted trail

A decent haunted trail put together by the firemen. The proceeds from the trail goes to the fire department. I really felt proud to participate and therein, make my little contribution towards its eventual success. The haunted trail was pretty scary in places. Few of the jump scares caught me by surprise. Excellent props as well. Actors all did a great job. I came with my kids, and they liked the trail very much. The entry fee was very low.

Scary props

Was impressed by the 30 min trail. Some excellent scares that will keep you on your toes. The trail was well constructed with many hidden jump scares and scary props. Kudos to the people who had designed the trail. The actors’ were professionals and stayed within character. People should check this one out

Definitely surprised me

VERIFIED

We drove a few hours to reach this place. A self guided tour was initially interesting, evoked our curiosity and took us deep into the heartlands of fear. This being a fund raiser event, I did not expect much but it definitely surprised me. The actors were volunteers and firefighters. They did a commendable job. Though not professionally trained, they were able to get the scares through us. It was family friendly and the crew took care like we were family. The scares were interactive and tons of props used. The best was the special effects that startled us. Good work.

Scary awesome

Drove for an hour to reach the trail. The trail was scary awesome. The extent of work and dedication went in the design of the trail is quite evident. Scary sets, props and creepy actors baying for your blood. Couple of scares actually caught me off guard. I jumped few times. Great effort by the firemen to put together such a nice haunted trail. I will come again with my kids.

Well done..

VERIFIED

Proud to be associated with this haunt. Organized by community and presented by volunteers, the haunt is a fund raiser for the fire department. A lot of effort has gone in to create the trail. It was as good as any haunt from a professional haunt. The attraction was family friendly. We were able to come out of it with the help of volunteers. The actors were great, though not professionals but still caught us screaming. We had a blast, hoping to return soon for the sixth edition.

Haunted house great/ traffic controllers not so much!

VERIFIED

We drove past the haunted house 4 times before being able to turn in. Once we stopped and told the traffic controllers that we had passed multiple times, he waved his light and said “keep moving” and as we drove by for a 5th time, he said “ass”. I’m assuming he didn’t think we could hear him.
We understood the importance of traffic flow on the road and the high volume of attendees, but there has to be another way aside from making people keep driving by. We are new to the area and found this to be very strange and inconvenient. We didn’t mind that as much as the attitudes we encountered BEFORE we were ever inside.

The trail itself was awesome. Very interactive. The lighting and engineering of each structure attacked a different level of perception. The actors were scary, make-up was very detailed, etc.

Thanks to the firemen for putting on this attraction for people in the area and thanks for saving lives the other 11 months of the year! You guys are hero’s!

Interactive scares

VERIFIED

This is a haunted trail put together by firemen. So don’t expect the bells and whistles you find in an expensive haunt house or trail. The attention to detail in the trail was commendable. There were some high quality interactive scares and creepy sets that freaked us out. My wife screamed more than once. Actors’ makeup and costumes were top-notch. Ticket price was cheap enough for two. I enjoyed the overall experience. Recommend this place to all scare lovers out there.

Good timeout

VERIFIED

Checked this place out and we had a fantastic evening. It was a family friendly haunt organized by the community. We had a good rapport with the volunteers. And the actors too were great. Most of them were firefighters and did a great job of the scenes. It is a great effort put forward by the community that has given a decent haunt. Did not miss too many scares. We had a frightful time at the trail. It took about us 30 minutes to complete the haunt and we never took a breather any where. Great haunt. Never miss it.

Won’t recommend

The trail had average scares….overall it was pretty ordinary. I expected more scares and fearsome actors. It was a big let-down.. I won’t recommend this place to anyone.

Nothing to startle you

VERIFIED

Avoidable, if you’re looking for some bone chilling scares. The scare factor was below par.. except for a couple of average scares, it was all ordinary.. few actors screamed on my face…but nothing to startle you off your feet. Not worth the money you pay for tickets.

Pretty disappointing

VERIFIED

Long enough trail.. but I kept on waiting for some real scare to come my way.. nothing much happened until I exited.. pretty disappointing. There were some actors wearing ludicrous costumes.. it invoked laughter than fear. It was a total waste of money.

Got spooked

VERIFIED

Awesome! We went last weekend and all of us got spooked. All the actors and actress did a phenomenal task. We screamed and ran a lot. Certainly, a good quality of haunt for such a low admission fee. Happy to know my entertainment costs going to a charity! Great work team at Grissettown Haunted trail.

Visited with my GF… the trail has been professionally done..the swamp walk was legit. It had some nice scares that left my GF screaming and jumping. Lots of details has gone into its design. Enjoyed every moment of it. The ticket rates were reasonable too.

Every Year

VERIFIED

My GF and her family go here every year. They said they shange it up and add new things every year so you always are on your toes. I got quite a few good scares. And walking over the swamp is legit. The cast and crew do great job looking scary. -Plus it's for charity to the local funded firehouse so I always like supporting a good cause.

My friend and I went last night and I can't tell you the last time I had more fun!!! Very scary and so much fun. The trail was professionally done. The only bad thing is we went on the last night so we can't go again until next year. Thank you for such a great time!!! Oh and a special thanks goes out to the four wonderful teens who helped guide us through the last half!!!! Can't wait till next year!!!!
