Visibility/Location:
It's pretty easy
to find. The building itself has a sign on it and part of
washington street is blocked off. Parking will probably be
your only problem.
Wait
Entertainment:
There is a lady
selling glow sticks, and TV's showing the inside of the
house where a car horn goes off and scares people. For a
small donation you can scare people with the horn.
Length of
Event:
20-25 minutes
Actor
Performance:
Excellent,
everyone stayed in character. The executioner is a great
character, slightly cartoony, but oddly scary. I did run
into two workers walking around the house, and they said hi,
but everyone else was in character and did not break it.
Patron
Flow Inside Attraction:
In the maze we
could hear the group in front of us, but they did a good job
of keeping us from running into anyone. The pace seemed to
get more frantic at some points, and made you want to walk
faster or slower.
Appropriate Ages:
14+
Props /
Special FX:
A mix of
store-bought and home-made. Lots of interesting effects, and
the blood coming from the sink in the messy apartement scene
was excellent. The Tv's in the introduction were awesome,
and the elevator was the first one I had been on in a
haunted house that felt like it was actually riding on one,
and the scene changed when the doors open. The air in the
walls was odd, but worked incredibly well.
Costumes /
Make-up:
A lot of
store-bought masks, but all well done. The actors looked
their parts well though.
Summary:
Well worth the
$8. They could easily have charged more and I would have
still felt like I got my moneys worth. The flow through the
house from silent and dark, to a lot of stimulation was
excellent. I would gladly go again in a heartbeat. Very
confusing layout, and you have no idea where you are in the
building. The ending comes without notice and is great at
making you run in terror from the chainsaw guy, made my
pregnant wife run incredibly fast even.

I have been to
clinton before, but had no idea where exactly the haunt was.
I saw NO signs and it was a bit hard to find.
Wait
Entertainment:
We waited only
about 5 minutes. It was Sprinkling out so i think that kept
the line short. They dont have indoor or covered waiting,
not a big deal.
Length of
Event:
About 5-10
minutes
Actor
Performance:
Most were very
good. The girl in the electric chair, Amazing. There were 3
actors that thought that we were staff or something and
didnt even try to scare us, but everyone else made up for
that.
Patron
Flow Inside Attraction:
there was no
guide and we caught up to the group in frount of us a couple
of times. the group of 2 behind us cauht up me our group of
2 and we just formed a group of 4. This was no big deal but
they really should spred the groups out more.
Appropriate Ages:
i am not the
person to ask this to. I think that the parents of children
know what their kids can handle. but i would guess 6 and up
would be a good guess.
Props /
Special FX:
There were a few
rooms that were well decorated with props, the kitchen was
good with the sink with running blood and the "stove trauma"
was nice. I also was impressed with the elevator. Not alot
of animatronics, but i like that. Actors are beter then
machines anyday.
Costumes /
Make-up:
The makeup was
average do it yourself stuff and there were a few masks too.
Summary:
This haunt is a
good one. It kinda feels like a Huge garage haunt or Home
haunt. I was very intertained at this Haunt. Being a Haunt
owner myself i dont get scared, but i was surprised that
they made me jump a couple times they are very good at
misdirection. I will definetly go back next year. and would
recomend this to others.

curious to see how they can top there house next year. they
always seem to do it.

If you have
never been there might be a little hard to find. Just stay
on Washington Street and you will run into it eventually.
Wait
Entertainment:
There was a tv
screen that you could watch people get scared by a car horn
and lights. A nice touch was that you could press the button
to scare them yourself for a monetary donation to a charity.
The ending is there at the wait line so you could see
"leatherface" chase the patrons out of the house. There was
also a witch selling glow necklaces; she had an irish
accent, and was a little annoying selling her wares.
Length of
Event:
15 minutes.
Actor
Performance:
Good Job! Out of
the 3 houses we visited this night Clinton was the most on
cue for scares. All characters seemed to stay in character
and there was little talking to be heard. I do not get
scared in the houses often but a big monster guy got all 5
of us. Pretty intimidating!

house.
Summary:
Overall Clinton
always does a great house every year. The scenes and scares
were great to see and the scares were on the mark.. I always
love going to clinton because their ending is great. Great
space for patrons to run out screaming. Great job Clinton.

I've been there
before, so it wasn't all that hard to find. There were
signs, but the screaming people and chainsaws really tipped
me off.
Wait

The first time I
went, there was a masked figure in a jumpsuit terrifying
some girls in line. The second time around, there wasn't
really any, and there wasn't a need, since we got in pretty
fast.

easily scared the child gets, but I would say ten and up.
Props /

I really liked
the strobe light hallway. Plus, the hallway with the airjets
scared me both times, even though I was expecting it the
second time.
Costumes /

They did great
here, especially with the person covered with leaves in the
funeral parlor scene. I really thought it was a bush at
first.
Summary:
All I can
personally say is wow. The first time I went, it was okay.
The second time I visited they changed some things around,
like the oven in the kitchen scene did something that made
even me scream. And the second time I went, one of the
chainsaw men separated me from the rest of the group and
chased only me out of the house.
I had a great time both times I went down. I'm not one to
scare that easily, but the Clinton crew got me good.
Definitely worth the sixteen dollars for two trips. I am
definitely going down next year, it was that good. In my
opinion.

Clintons Terror
on Washington Street was easy to find once you found
Washington Street. I didnt see any signs on the way into
town but the roads blocked off and scary blowups in the
middle of the street were very visible.
Wait
Entertainment:
While waiting
outside of the haunted house there were chainsaw welding
maniacs and many creatures and ghouls outside acting with
the crowd. My person favorite was a couple of t.v.s that
allowed you to watch others in the house and actually scare
them by remote control from outside.
Length of
Event:
15 minutes of
thrill
Actor
Performance:
All actors
inside of the house seemed to be right on que. Perfect
timing.

Flow Inside Attraction:
Our group ran
into another group inside the attraction. You were able to
purchase glow in the dark necklaces outside that really
helped you navigate your way threw a dark maze.
Props /
Special FX:
My favorite
Special Effect in Terror on Washington Street was a very
scary elevator that takes you to another floor and has a
huge suprise at the end of the ride. Dont want to ruin it
for everyone. There were also many foggy settings and
animated props inside of this attraction. I really enjoyed a
kitchen scene with refridgerator, cabinets, bloody water
running into the sink, and a stove that flys open with a
prop lunging out at you.
Costumes /
Make-up:
All actors
inside of the house really fit into there settings. While
walking threw a tomb in egypt, there were many mummys flying
out from secret panels in the walls.
Summary:
Terror on
Washington Street is having another great year. They always
keep me and my family coming back. I enjoy seeing all of the
new settings and animations that they have every year. They
really seemed to step up there scares from the previous
years I have gone. All of there monsters inside the house
really seemed alot more matured than previous years. I dont
know if its only me, but when someone twice as tall as me
jumps out from a secret passage its alot more intimidating
than a elementary school sized monster. Another great year
for Washington Street. Cant wait for the next.

have any characters going through the line. However, I did
find the trivia on one of the television's interesting.

10-15 minutes

Some of the

in the right direction.

Summary:
A person needs
to get there early. We got there shortly after opening
(7p.m.) and were in line for an hour and a half. It was well
worth the wait and the price. It may have been a little
underpriced. I also thought that as the busier it got the
person at the entry point could have done better alternating
those who purchased General Admission passes with those who
bought the R.I.P (Rush-In Pass).
