Infernum packs in a great deal of d������������������cor and props into their scenes. Not to mention we counted nearly 30 sets, which is a very ambitious amount for a 2nd-year haunt! Some of the scenes did seem more polished than others, but I think as time goes on, then that will change.
For the most part, all of them had great concepts, excellent lighting, and good execution of sound. There were a few times I did notice some sound carrying over from other parts of the haunt, but I imagine that is normal with the design of the building. Believe us when we tell you that Infernum has some very unique props that could rip the roof off the haunt!
When we first entered the child’s bedroom, we noticed it was smaller, complete with a small bed, bright yellow paint, a large pirate flag, and other decorations typical of this type of scene. On the bed was a breathing body’ was it real? Was it an animatronic? Suddenly, the child’s dreams took over, and our wild ride began.
Instead of walking through a normal bedroom door, we had to escape the child’s bedroom through a secret passageway. After we made our way through, we experienced a violently shaking door (we didn’t open it), an old office with a moving nun, a group of students (one of which ended up banging its head off the desk), a cafeteria, a tool shed, a unique fog effect, and an electrifying encounter. We also saw a guy that… wasn’t particularly good at his job.
One of the most notable scenes was a gravity-defying room. All of the objects were on the ceiling! Or were WE on the ceiling!? We’ll let you decide. We thought this was such an outstanding effect!
Along with intricate detailing, well-placed theatrical lighting, and many authentic items to look at, we found a dummy torso wearing a face mask that was quite comical. We also found some effects used in ways we haven’t seen before, such as a pegboard light duo, aquariums with skeletal remains, a dissected body, an abominable snowman, and a bathroom totally smeared with feces’ It even continued down a tight hallway. We noticed a bloodied body hanging above a toilet and, I must say, I’d be ready to kill someone if I had to clean up all that sh!t too!
Additionally, we had large creatures trying to eat us (one even had two heads), they disoriented us with effective strobes, had plenty of coffins to bury us in, and’ someone or someTHING likely knows how to throw knives. Just when we thought they couldn’t throw anymore curve balls at us, we ended up in a world of hanging bras, we were face-to-face with a cow creature, the red glow of a room gave off a ‘dreamy’ vibe, atrocious food took away any appetite we had left, and I got too close to a garbage can because you just never know what might come to life at this place!
To save some stress on my wrists, we will say that there are plenty more hidden animatronics, a cool mirror area, an attic, and a spider’s lair. But wait, there’s more! Once downstairs, we traveled between a huge skeleton’s legs, through a small pallet maze, a blue hazy cemetery, and two final scenes that brought the whole story into a full circle. Like a good M. Night Shyamalan movie, it had us questioning everything we had just seen. Was it a nightmare? Was it real? What the hell? That was intriguing!
