I go to a lot of the houses on the island, and this remains my favorite... Ive read some reviews and saw that people didn't pop out at them, but that has never been the case for me and i have gone for 6 years now. Maybe it was later in the year when it is really busy, because one year i went the week of Halloween and i kept catching up to the group in front of me, they did still try to get me though. I usually do the second week of the season so it isn't too busy to beat the lines which i plan to do again this year!.

I have to say.. Last night was the best night to ever go especially in a rainy day. It comes out be a real scare especially that dude with the chainsaw.. I didn't even know it it real o.o lmao woo Nice 8-) best Haunted Mansion ever

Is it my imagination or are haunts holding back this year? Could it be the sour economy has even "infected" the way these haunt owners prepared for this years Halloween Season? I think so! I've been to several of the larger haunts and so far I've been disappointed but interestingly enough the haunt admission prices are still climbing! It seems there are less actors and less effort put into really scaring the patrons. Could it be the mind set of, "well, we're probably going to have a quiet season due to the economy so the hell with it... let's just put up the haunt as quick and cost effectively as possible and let's grab hold of whatever dollars we can". I can certainly appreciate cutting costs due to the economy but then you're going to have to revisit your admission prices and ask yourselves if you're providing your patron a FAIR experience considering the pricey ticket prices. There should've certainly been a better coupon available for this haunt this year. It was not worth the $23 plus $3 off coupon on SOME nights! The cornmaze is fun but it's only because the cornstalks are scary already and the walk is nice. However, the house was frumpy. The people in the quarters up front were stale and they were just sitting around including some guy in a hooded sweater who was obviously there just to talk to the 2 girls in there. 1 of them just sat there while the other one who was there last year too with glasses did all the talking. She's always cool. The house itself needs work but I shouldn't be smelling fresh paint expressing a half ass job in the neon rooms. Also, when you shift from room to room I should not be seeing between hallways to view your working tools and ladders. This spoils the fun of pretending you've just entered a haunted house!!!! Also, there was an awesome character sitting at the end of a hall sitting in a chair with a white dress and frightening face. She gave me serious chills as I approached her but this was then DESTROYED when some older man walked in front of her (someone who obviously worked there or may have even been the owner) and just walked passed us as he was checking out the sets. TERRIBLE!!! I paid money for this and you think it's okay to just walk through the house during my PAID time. Are you that dumb??!!! At least act like a monster and creep us out fool!!! But back to the girl... she was SCARY!!! Great Job!! All in all everyone LISTEN when I tell you this haunt is NOT worth the money this year. Last year was definitely BETTER!!! If you give them your money and you're disappointed you can not say I didn't WARN YOU!!! So far this year, the best haunt has certainly been LiFearFests CARN-EVIL!. Don't even go there... I do not work for them... NICE TRY! I'm just calling out the TRUTH!!! On a positive note... the Schmitt haunt certainly has the ability to be great as they were last year. If you're going to stay in the haunt business during these hard economic times and still want your $23 then you have to continue to put your heart into it and do your damn best to deserve it! Otherwise, you're simply not playing FAIR in the game.

I thought the line was a little long but they played Young Frankenstein on this big screen outside and it made time go by.

I thought the house was pretty good but they need more actors to act. I thought the lady who plays Mrs. Bates was scary!

I have been to this haunted house for a few years now and let me tell you it's one of the best and just gets better every yr! If you have an opportunity, go through the corn maze (very scary). Enjoy!

i went to Schmitt's for 2 years in a row and it is the best every year. my sis got cut by one of the chainsaw guys LMFAO. Schmitt haunted house fans should try Bayville Scream Park. Thats scary. both are fun

I can only give it 3 bats since my focus was mainly on the person I was with being scared. I was laughing too hard and I guess being that I'm a big person, no one really tried to scare me. I did enjoy myself though. The Corn maze was very nice. With that being said... I was a bit disturbed by the stuffed person hanging from the tree at the right of the entrance to the haunted house and by the hanging scene inside the corn maze. In light of recent events taking place all over I found this to be a bit insensitive. I also fail to see the connection between a person hanging by a noose and a haunted house. A person hanging from a meat hook, yes but this, no. So although I did enjoy myself, I will not bring my kids or recommend this to any of my friends unless these things are removed or changed.

it was so fun me and my frends were rnning and screaming i cant wait to go again sooo much fun!

Went with about 12 of my friends this weekend, and I have to say it was pretty good. We did the $20 for the corn maze and the haunted house deal, which was a tiny bit overpriced, but very fun nonetheless.

A couple complaints. One, there is absolutely no area to hang out in after you finished and just wanted to relax and eat. There was literally the haunted house, the corn maze, food vendor, and then some portapotties. Hotdogs and pretzels were $2.50 each. Cornmaze wasn’t a maze, just a straight path through it til you reached the end.

Something odd was that there’s a section in the haunted house that was completely pitch-black so we used our cellphones to light our way through. I found this odd because I had no idea how they expected people without a light to find their way through safely.

yeah i went tonight (10/18/08) ii thoughtt it was good but not likee amazingg. me and my friends went, we went to the haunted house firstt, i would say in my opinion it was pretty good but not like pissing my pants terrifyingg loll; but my friends were pretty scared like this onje clown cornered my friend and like the guy with the chainsaw was rele good, he scared me haa. the cornmazee wass goodd likee alotta ppl jump out at you and like if your rele scared they dont stop following you. goo its prettyy goodd, butt i thiink its a pretty good scareee :]

attraction is good but need security guards outside that look for potential trouble not wait for it to happen. my wife and I and five other couples visit about 8 haunted attractions a year. this is the only one ( past three years ) we almost got into a fight or had to call security and advise them of a problem in the line. wake up security!!! I'm tired of duing your job

Cornmaze...... AMAZING just when you thought it was over... nope. it was longer,scarier and the best it ever was. a little disappointed with the house but alot of great new elements and scares that really got me and the fact that you guys improve every year is such a good thing. keep it up and cant wait to go back next year.

I've been to many and this house and maze is definitely the best..The corn maze guys are fantastic as well is the house..

my friends and i went to the haunted house and waited on the lines for about 2 1/2 hours! i didn't think that it wuold be worth th wait but it was! I would STRONGLY suggest that you go to tthis hanted house because it is just SO much fun!! you're almost GUARANTEED to enjoy it!!! It's the greatest thrill you'll have all year!!!!!!!!!!

this one was awesome!! i think it was the scariest one in the whole world!!! i peed my pants down to my ankles. i even broke a fence in the beginning when they were hovering over my friend and i with a chainsaw deff go

^^That just proves how fun/scary it was. I was squeezing my eyes shut at one point, and it popped out.. oops. This is the best haunted house i've been to! I thought the rooms were amazing and so creative! It was pretty long. Longer than I expected! I'm not sure if we were supposed to squeeze through that wall at one point.. My advice: WATCH WHERE YOU STEP! There are some steep ramps up hill and down. And if you're really scared, don't act it. They will just go more into your face. If they see you are covering your eyes, they will make it even worse and growl. Fun from VERY begining, to the very very end.. Yupp, no joke.

lmfao loved the corn maze, was terrifying im surprised i didnt pee my pants when practically ran into a chainsaw guy, but i'd go again :)

I went here once in 2009 and again in 2011, and this is an excellent attraction. You really get your money's worth. The haunted house is spectacular and they really added some great new stuff this year. Plenty of genuine scares and convincing actors. The corn maze is FANTASTIC, you can't see anyone hiding so the frights are plentiful. This one is a MUST for Long Islanders

I got there at 10:00. there was absolutely no wait, which was great, but overall the place was a letdown. There's no real atmosphere when you first arrive, except for some really cheap bright orange signs that say "Haunted Mansion." The corn maze looked cool, but there's no music and no real set design to be found. The mansion seemed pretty long and had an interesting claustrophobia tunnel (won't give it away, but its a cool effect) and even though there was more detail, the props didn't look all that great. I noticed lots of cheap body parts that anyone could pick up in party city scattered throughout the haunt. Also there's not that many animatronics... I counted 3 that I can remember. And half the actors weren't into there roles. They would jump out without screaming or saying anything. It was fun, but absolutely not worth $23

I have been going to Schmitt's Farm's haunted house going on 10 years now...every year it manages to change and create a better scare than the year before. Where they get the ideas to make these changes is beyond me! Keep up the good work! I can't wait till next year!

sorry, i've been to many haunted houses and there were way to many black halls and terrible use of so much space. NO ACTORS, just people with masks saying boo or come here little girl, nothing original. one or 2 clever rooms like the spinning one and the grave. when leaving, the chainsaw guy wuz supposed to chase us but was chatting with friends and the corn maze was terrible, the chainsaw guy didn't even have a mask. cmon you have so much space, USE IT TO UR ADVANTAGE! don't go here not worht it.

I've gone two years in a row and frankly that's it. The lines are insanely long and the price is high. They didn't bother to make any changes so it was kinda boring the second time around which is a shame.

this review is for when i went two years ago in 07 lol. i only went in the corn maze. i have to say i was scared of haunted houses back then and they did a good job. the second i walked in crying a guy with a chainsaw jumped out right away. i hated chainsaws ever since. the whole thing was amazing. the dark corn maze, no music, surprising fx and getting lost. the way they jumped out was fun cuz u didnt expect it. the little huts were great, dark and smoky. the ending when they chased you out was the best scare. good job back then i hope to go in 2010 and do the mansion.

I went to this house with my wife. She had never been to a haunted house before. Both of us were not sure how good or bad the visit will turn out.

There were a group of people ahead of us, which made it less scary for us. Otherwise there were definitely enough actors hiding in the dark spaces to shock you every once in a while.

Some of the best things about the house was a narrow space that you had to walk through "side ways". It was like walking between 2 walls that had a very tight gap between them. People who have fear of small spaces will really be scared by this. There was also a room that had a few dozen rubber heads hanging off of the wall. It wasn't scary to go through it but you could tell someone really put some effort into it.

I would definitely recommend going there once. It's not recommended for small kids.

hello this is the best haunted house i have been to, i was there with my three kids and from nowhere came this colored woman crying and screaming she pushed my kids on the ground.just to get out and she all she kept on saying feet don't fail me now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
