This new haunt is a little different. According to Terror Roulette, “visitors may be influenced, manipulated, withdrawn, led down a different path, or even removed from their group.” “Come with an open mind, willing to embrace the chaos as the staff surrounds you and puts you on various paths,” writes the Tribune’s Darcel Rockett on a visit earlier this month. Chainsaws, unethical medical professionals, coffins… make for great conversations after scary environments. The great thing is that you can go in more than once and have a completely different experience.”
