I have to say, I feel this haunt was hyped up a bit too much due to who was there when others went. Now, before I start, you must know that when I arrived it was very late and near closing so that might have been a variable.
My group and I were not impressed for the most part. The video they had playing at the time was out of focus, the "scares" were too repetitive in how they were done, and I personally don't care much for the use of movie icons to "help sell your scares." If no one has seen the movie then the easter egg is lost.
As bit more in-depth look, I thought the idea for the "hearse" ride was rather novel, but wish it was included in the combo. As such, I missed doing it to see how well it actually worked out.
There was a section of the hayride were I was surprised by the language used, even though I shouldn't have been given the time of night and the lack of young kids. But also I was a bit surprised to have something sprayed on me at one point and at another point shocked to see a real patron being pulled and even lifted by an actor, who got on the wagon with a chainsaw, by the patron's leg. If that patron had any kind of leg issues before that happened, the Last Ride might have lived up to its name that night.
The house, although it had a nice looking facade the interior was rather "typical" of most haunts. I found it amusing that we were asked not to use the words "Help Me" at all in the house but the first actress we came across shouted nothing but that.
I would like to mention that there was one surprise that occurred to one of the members of our group that was amusingly unexpected. It happened on his way to use their "bathrooms" and was quite entertaining for the rest of us to see.
