Treedines Haunted Farm Review (2016)

Although there are a lot of masks across both attractions, they are common ones that are typically used for standard Hollywood figures. But, there are also a few individuals with makeup. We particularly enjoyed the neon, glow-in-the-dark faces in the maze and the mad face of Patient X.

Queue entertainment was provided through speakers and whatever a local radio station was playing. But, the wait times weren’t too long, so we didn’t get to hear much of the variety. The amazing, old, grape arbor makes for a creepy little waiting area for the Forest and, when you’re outside of Midnight Hill, you get to look down over some of the farm. Bundle up against the cold and bring some friends to make the wait go faster.

You’re not going to find a lot of flashy special effects at Treedine’s. However, there are some little touches ‘ like the sound of waterlogged boots following you on a forest path ‘ that are particularly well done; little things that drop you right into the action and space of a horror movie… where you are the victim. Keep your eyes and ears open for them because these kinds of touches can make even innocuous things seem sinister ‘ like a room scattered with balloons or a boat on the shore of a lake.

Though the names of each of the haunts at Treedine’s don’t immediately lend themselves to what’s in store at each, once you’re within one of them, you can easily grasp the overall motif that covers each site. For the most part, there is little to break you out of that subject as you move through the haunt and the small instances that do break from the theme aren’t so distracting as to detract from the experience.

Midnight Hill (with its assembly of clowns) is meant to be the less-frightening of the two haunts. It typically has more sinister menace, rather than in-your-face scares, so its more child and family friendly in that respect. The Forest is certainly more in-your-face scares, with corpses falling from above, chainsaws roaring, sinister figures following in the dark and stark beams of laser light splitting the gloom. If you’re scared by clowns or horror movies, then Treedine’s is going to be packed with heart-pounding moments for you.
