Summary

We visited Deceased Farm this year and were pleased with the changes we found at this perennial favorite. Returning to a haunt you already know can be a bit of a gamble. Familiar attractions can sometimes lose their impact after multiple visits, but changes to the sets, scenery, and overall experience gave us plenty to appreciate during our return to the farm. Deceased Farm continues to make good use of its collection of houses, outdoor areas, and cornfield to create an experience with plenty of different environments for guests to explore. There is a nice variety of scenes along the… Read More…

Guest Experience8.75

Our previous visits to Deceased Farm definitely came in handy when it came to navigating the property. We didn’t encounter a parking attendant until we were already well within the grounds, which could leave first-time visitors wondering whether they were heading in the right direction. Fortunately, the signs pointing the way helped make up for the limited personnel we encountered on the approach. Once on site, the experience offers more than simply standing in line and waiting for the trail to begin. The corral yard provides a gathering area where guests can take in the atmosphere and enjoy the surroundings… Read More…

Immersion8.78

Deceased Farm does a good job of surrounding guests with its environment. The set design is complete, and many scenes extend around visitors on multiple sides rather than relying on a single decorated wall or a few props placed along the walking path. This creates a more convincing environment and gives guests plenty to look at as they move through the attraction. The houses and outdoor sections each contribute to the overall experience, helping the trail feel varied as guests move from one scene to the next. The scenery provides a strong foundation for the actors, giving them places to… Read More…

Special Effects8.6

Deceased Farm makes effective use of its props, animatronics, and environmental effects to support the different scenes along the trail. Although we noticed some minor sound bleed between areas, most of the individual sections were well contained, allowing their effects and atmosphere to stand on their own. One of our favorite features was the large angel-or-gargoyle animatronic in the graveyard scene. Its imposing appearance made it a natural focal point, and it fit the setting well. Larger figures like this can add considerable presence to a scene, especially when their design complements the surrounding scenery instead of feeling like an… Read More…

Characters8.75

If Deceased Farm fell short in any area during our visit, it was the number of actors occupying the attraction. There were several places where additional performers could have made good use of the scenery and created more opportunities for unexpected encounters. With so many detailed environments and potential hiding spots, a larger cast would help the trail feel even more active. That criticism, however, is not a reflection of the performers who were there. The actors we encountered were giving it their all, and they deserve recognition for the energy and commitment they brought to their roles. From Sunny… Read More…

Scare Factor8.98

The scares at Deceased Farm were frequent, although some were a little predictable. Experienced haunt visitors may recognize certain setups before the scare happens, especially when a scene has an obvious hiding place or follows a familiar pattern. That predictability took a little of the surprise out of some encounters, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the attraction. The cast did a particularly good job of targeting everyone in our group. We also had the opportunity to watch them work the group following us, and it was clear that the performers were capable of adjusting their approach to the… Read More…

Value7.7

Deceased Farm offers several ticketing options for guests who would prefer not to spend as much time waiting. Both fast-pass and VIP options are available, giving visitors a choice in how they approach their evening. As with any haunt offering multiple admission levels, it’s worth reviewing the available options before arriving to decide which best suits your group’s priorities. The attraction also has additional activities beyond the main trail. Guests can visit the on-site escape room, try the zombie shoot, browse the gift shop, or stop by the concessions. These extras give visitors more ways to spend time on the… Read More…
