I went to see this last night, and it was a lot of fun.\n\nThe outside of the buildings are really cool.  The sad part is that I've stayed in a hotel out in west Texas that didn't look too dissimilar to Hotel Fear.  Come to think of it, the actual hotel may have even had its own natural ghoul population, but I digress.\n\nBut everything, from the set-ups to the character actors lurking around outside, to the traditional Halloween-esque tunes that played outside helped set the mood.  They go for the old stand-bys, but they have a good-natured approach to everything.\n\nI don't believe in spoiling surprises for any sort of shows, so here goes:\n\nHotel Fear:  They did a nice job recreating a hotel look, almost like something out of \""The Shining\"".  Expect a lot of twisty corridors, trick walls, random jump outs, and a \""finale\"" room that my party and I genuinely got lost inside of.  Pretty impressive considering how small the actual room was.\n\nThe Asylum: Nice job recreating both indoor and outdoor environments.  Also expect a lot of twisty corridors, trick walls, and random jump outs.  I found The Asylum a little bloodier than Hotel Fear, and while I have seen their \""finale\"" room in another haunted house years ago, it was one of my personal favorites, and fun to revisit that type of experience again (even if it does mess with your senses).\n\nAlso, if you're not a big fan of the requisite horror \""Chainsaw Guy\"", well, you know....  Sorry.\n\nConsidering that I'm not going to have a lot of time to bask in all the Halloween goodness this season, I was pretty happy to have attended this show.  They do have some nice set pieces and some creative ideas.  Also, bear in mind that I'm one of those that's not easy to scare and is more into the whole theatrical presentation of these things, but I enjoyed the experience regardless.  And hey, it was a fun night out with my friends, so win-win, you know?\n\nThank you, scare team!
