HAUNT – Field of Screams – CA – 2015

Field of Screams

3 stars

This event is actually quite good considering it’s in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn’t drive from Los Angeles to do it again, but I happened to already be in the area doing an escape room and stopped to check it out. The 5 mazes are not well decorated, however the actors work just as hard if not harder than some of the large haunts. The holiday maze was especially fun because of the creativity and actors in the maze. The 3D maze was creative. The use of the flashlight technology in the dark maze was clever. The exorcist & diner mazes were ok. All of their mazes were longer than expected. I went on the first Sunday of the season, so I literally walked into every maze with no wait. Also the entrance scarezone actors were working very hard and incredibly entertaining.
