2009 Leatherface's Lair WALK-THROUGH!!!!
Reviewed Date: 9/8/2009 5 Stars5 Stars5 Stars5 Stars5 Stars
I'm a neighbor of Joe Allocco who creates The Franklin Square Horror and he gave me a Sneak Peak at what he has in store for 2009. He created a 110 foot Walk- Through that encompasses the ENTIRE side of his home! It has different rooms in it! And he's been working on it since June. Last year's Crypt had a small scary Scene in it, and although he uses the front of the Crypt again this year, it is NOTHING like last year! It is Scarier then some of the Professional Haunts that you would have to pay for to get in! When this thing is completed people are going to talk about this for years to come!
I dont get it.

I dont want to deter people from going by to check it out, I know the guy does this to collect money for charity, which is great. So if you want to see an excellently decorated Halloween house, with a cast of costumed actors roaming around the street... go for it. But I have to say, this just is NOT a haunted house. There is no traditional haunted house trail or anything like that. Its just a well decorated house with some features in the front lawn. Probably fun for the kids to see, and to hang out with the neighbors but if you are looking to visit a haunted house this is not one.

Sorry I had to rate this down for its misclassification.
Scarey

When you first walk down the block there is a house at 1113 Norbay Street that is a haunted house year round! The house is old and broken down, there are old sculptures, cut off toy horse heads on the fence and broken plastic Christmas decorations. There is an old couple that lives there that yells at children that pass by. They leave orange emergency cones around the house giving it a police tape/murder scene feel. me and my friends will come to this house every couple of months and throw rocks at it to see the old monster pop out. At the end of the block there is a great haunted house that looks professional. The people are nice and it's for a good cause.
CRAZY

I went to this house last year and it scared the #$%@ out of me and my girlfriend. This guy must work in the movie business cause' he knew exactly how to scare people silly. I passed by this house recently and it looks freaky!We will definitely make the time to stop there again this year.

I went to this house last year with my girlfriend and we were chased by a guy with a chainsaw! Didn't expect it so it absolutely scared the #$*% of us! We went by this house recently and it looks even better this year. We'll be back again for sure.
Gets Better Every Year!!

I've been visiting this Halloween Haunt for over 10 years and it just keeps getting better and better. I remember when Joe used to come running out of the house with a chainsaw (electric at the time) and chase everyone off the property after they got their treats. Now it's a whole family of ghouls that come from different areas of the house and street to scare the hell out of you!! In 2008 they had a mausoleum in their driveway with a real coffin inside, and a girl that looked like the girl from the movie, The Ring who popped out at you! You had to wait for a little while on line to check out the mausoleum, but it was worth it! I can't wait to see what happens this year! Keep up the great work!!!
Incredible Yard Haunt

I went last year. It was fun, you can't walk up to the house much but they run out in the street at you. It gets very crowded and with the people running away from the chainsaw it can get pretty dangerous. I wouldn't bring kids under the age of 6 or 7 to this thing. It was ok for a local event though. I feel bad for the people who have to live there. Their lawns get destroyed!
Just ok.

you have to walk down a dead end street to get to the house so you'll be scared before you even get to there. very cool set up - makes the hair on your arms stand up. Try to visit the house before halloween because we had to wait a little to get up to the house on Halloween night so either go before or go late on Halloween night.
