The outside of The Haunted House at night.

The Haunted House was the last haunted ride on the street, or actually the first depending on how you looked at it.  They had promotion down to a science, with custom tickets and pamphlets and all kinds of hype up and down the block.  I liked the outside with its glowing red letters and animated skeletons.

This ride was a modest fee compared to the other rides and you wandered around the inside viewing many different stunts throughout the dark ride.  In fact, this was the only walk through without live actors.  It was mainly straight up stunts but lacking in the actual scare department.

I wonder if anything is inside that coffin?

We walked out the exit to find ourselves in the middle of a gift shop which was strange because it was completely bright and colorful.  What an unexpected ending.  On a scale of 1 through 5, I give this haunted attraction a 2 1/2.
