I went to the 13th Street Morgue on Saturday September 27th. I have to say I love the Morgue so much; I had to go through twice. It was especially great to be able to go through the haunt by myself and not having to deal with a group. This is truly one of the more frightening haunts I’ve ever been to. The attention to detail is impeccable. Cobwebs everywhere & done so realistically. The prop pieces are perfectly aged & give you a sense of such realism. They took a lot of time with small details, like wallpaper, art, and general knick-knacks that really make the place genuine & believable. The actors in the Morgue are always very professional & consistent. Their timing is perfect & they never lose character. And watch out for BoogiemanConCarne… He is one scary mother fucker….
Right from the start I was giddy with fear. The shadow of the axe raising reminded me of a scene in Friday the 13th. The graveyard was nice and dark & had plenty of great scare moments. Even during my second time through, they got me really good. Especially that damn scarecrow…. He scared the hell out of me more than once. The graveyard girls were nice and creepy… kept trying to sneak up on me. The hearse area is one of my favorite parts. It has such great atmosphere with the trees, lighting and shadows. The gravedigger is one to watch out for! He is so damn scary as he stares you down and scrapes his shovel. The Mortuary then changes your pace for a while. Nice and creepy funeral parlor with great detail. Simple things like the antique paintings on the walls make such a difference for the realism. The elevator and lab rooms had excellent detail as well. Great sparks, bubbling containers, and eerie lighting. The gas mask guy was really effective at getting you through the room. One of my favorite characters is the hide & seek girl… so fun to play with. The bathroom scene is just horrific. So nasty & slimy. Somewhere here, I forgot to mention the new addition of the girl on the rope swinging in the hallway. What an amazing addition this year. It’s very nice and creepy, and makes really great sound.
The attention to detail and the actors at the 13th Street Morgue are what make this haunt stand out above the rest. You can tell that these people really love what they do & put all they have into it. They want their patrons to have the most fun & frightening time possible. The wait time is not bad at all. The price is very fair considering the amount of walkthrough time and atmosphere that you get. The look and feel of the Morgue is consistent from beginning to end, and the frights are endless & relentless. I highly recommend the 13th Street Morgue to anyone who loves haunted houses.
I give this haunt a 10/10 rating.
