Ravenwood Haunted Farm

Demented FX

Frightfest Six Flags New England

Full disclosure, I was scared heading to DementedFX this year. Is it because I have a phobia of zombies and mutated creatures? Not at all. My fear was based solely on the expectations I had set in my mind. You see, of all the haunts I went to last year, DementedFX was hands down the best experience I had. It is truly that good. While the haunt improved from 2017 to 2018, in my mind, there was NO WAY 2019 would top 2018.

Barretts Haunted Mansion

When writing a review of Barrett’s Haunted Mansion, it’s hard not to talk about past trips. With 28 years under their belt, their sheer experience in running a haunted attraction is apparent the second you pull into the parking lot.  While 2019 may not be their strongest year over all, you’ll be hard pressed to find such an amazing haunt in the eastern half of Massachusetts. Barrett’s doesn’t compete with other haunts, they compete with themselves year after year......(read full review)
