We went to the CMC Haunted House last night. It's all new once again this year, with a Scary Tales theme! We got there right at 7:00, and I recommend going early, as the wait quickly develops. They give you a number, and call you when it's time to get scared. I think this system is much better than waiting in line, as it gives you a chance to walk around, watch a movie (in keeping with the theme they were playing Snow White and the Huntsman last night instead of a horror movie, which was weird but not a big deal), or buy a snack. I just don't recommend the nachos, the concessionaire charged us $4 for half a boat of broken chips and cold cheese.
As for the House itself, it was another success. They twisted the Grimm Fairy Tales back to their "original" stories, with not-so-happy endings. I won't ruin any surprises for anyone, but the rooms had some of your favorite tales done in a sick way. And these girls are sick!
If you're looking for your slasher movie villains (Jason, Leatherface, etc.), you won't find them here, as they stick to the fairy tale theme. But even without the old standbys, CMC did a great job scaring everyone. And they still have the complementary cookies and cider at the end! It's nice to support a group of kids and their parents who work hard to create a really good haunted house each year (instead of some money grab like Fright Nights at the Fair). You can tell they're good people who really want you to enjoy your time, and we did again last night. Thanks, CMC!
