They had awesome decor, music videos, haunt videos, and live actors who jumped into the crowd at one point. The haunt itself was super fun. It had a great mix of live actors, story, and large animatronics. Tip: If you get to an obstacle that you want to skip (like crawling), there are side passages you can use, just ask the staff.

When I first went many years ago, there were no badges back then, so I don't see how management could know that the wait was *never* that long. I gave it a more positive review 6 years ago for being unique - that's why I wanted to go again, but it didn't hit the same the second time... perhaps I expected more to change over half a decade. For being so dependent on story telling, the little videos throughout the haunt have terrible audio quality. This is one of 10 haunts I visited this year, the lack of jump scares isn't the issue.

Because of this, they pegged me as a Horror Person and asked if I "did a lot of these," meaning haunts. I /think/ they thought I was a vlogger because to normies I dress like I'm always about to be on camera but the reality is I'm just a spooky b*tch. I'm actually a New York Times bestselling horror author, but I didn't exactly offer that up. We DO attend a lot of haunts, and this is the most *fun* I've ever had. Spooky, yes, sure, most of them are, but the artistry of combining spooky /with real, actual, side-splitting laughs/ is a rare commodity at this quality level. I've done literal convention talks about horror and comedy being two sides of the same coin, and when used artfully, how each enhances the experience of the other. TL:DR, I love this place. It may be a yearly trip for my band of merry weirdos. Thank you for a great laugh, and a great jump scare. Bloody, snotty, syphilis keeses. HM

Haunt jumped out at me. The process: Purchased tickets online (choose between entrance + 1 haunted house $25, entrance + all 3 haunted houses $40 or a VIP pass; Kids 3 and under: free) Parking- plenty of parking behind the event! Short walk Main entrance (no line at 6:15pm the Saturday before Halloween) one guy is checking ID's for booze, there is security (the bag restrictions are real so leave them at home) The music is blaring Halloween tunes (think Disturbia and Thriller). Right in front of you is a tower of skeletons. It feels exciting! We were immediately gifted 3 $5 Dunkin Gift cards. I asked why? They were sponsoring the event that night! Heck yeah! Then a woman greeted us and offered us a free popcorn combo cup. Think cheesy popcorn and Oreo popcorn. My little guy loved it. We immediately gravitated toward the main stage. Cornhole. Bubbles. Bumping music. My radio station was hosting- 96.9! Free cup and cozy! Another score! My husband was enjoying Bent Water beer. We eventually moved to Dino-land. Jumbo Jenga and Connect Four. My daughter and I branched off and went to Rise of ANNKH four her haunted house of choice. Only about a 10 minute wait in line. I will share- this event has money behind it. The visuals alone but in this haunted house a lot of working mechanics (I won't share too much but it was cool to see) and I did feel like this might be what its like wandering through the tomb tunnels in the pyramids. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being super scary it was a 4. We then hung out with the jumbo werewolves, exploring the little shops (little!) My husband scored another tickets so he could go into a haunted house with our daughter ($9 single ticket.) They went Into The Astray (no wait.) The review: it was wack! They told me the theme was smoke and fences. The little guy and I kept buy with a little scene set up for photos and met a Gravedigger. We ended our experience wandering around the graveyard. Great visuals! Overall- cool event. With this only lasting us about 1.5 hours I think they should be charging less to get in but we were all glad we did it. The 13 year old got her haunted houses and the three year old got the visuals, was dressed up, loved the popcorn, the music and the werewolves!

Ravenwood Haunted Farm opened this year at Chris' Farm Stand in Haverhill and it's well worth a…read morevisit! My wife and I are big fans of haunted attractions and have been to them all over the world. Ravenwood is a moody, artfully executed take on the haunted farm/corn maze attraction found in New England. What makes it unique is the attention to detail in the design of the props, sets, and costumes, all of which come together to create a beautifully haunting atmosphere. The location helps to set the mood. We drove down dark and windy country roads and arrived at a farm with a large white barn in some state of disrepair. Parking attendants guided us to park in a field up a hill. There is a bit of a walk from the parking area to the attraction and it is almost all downhill on dewy grass, so consider this when picking shoes to wear. At the entrance, there were several vendors selling doughnuts, cider, hot dogs, and even a bacon-themed food truck! We purchased premium tickets but, in retrospect, did not need to do so because the line was not very long. Actually, it was surprisingly quiet there for a Friday night. However, reading other reviews suggests that we just lucked out as the lines can be much longer at times. After waiting for a few minutes, we were led to a tractor-pulled hay wagon for a ride to the attraction with a dozen other people. From there, we were whisked (okay, towed) to the attraction at the edge of the woods. The attraction itself featured several parts, including woods, several buildings, a "cemetery," and a corn maze. Most of these were executed very well. At times, I found myself in awe of the eerie beauty created by the lights, mist, and woods. The actors and costumes were excellent, and most seemed very into their roles. There were a few places which could have been helped by more actors, such as the corn maze, which felt a little long by the end. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would recommend it. The people who built Ravenwood have created an impressive attraction that should only get better as it becomes more popular. I look forward to going back next year.

This is probably one of the best haunted houses I've been too. Right when you get there you go to…read morethe ticket booth and pay for your ticket then pursue to the line.(ticket is $15, no refund) In line there are actors who have fake chainsaws and fake knifes who talk to you and make jokes about what's ahead and if you ask they will let you take a picture with them. Then the hayrides to the haunted house start at 7:00 or 6:30 ish so I would recommend getting there at like 6:00 or 5:50. Once it starts getting ready to start the line to go to the haunted houses they will tell you the rules; no touching the actors etc. Then you go on the hayride which only takes like two or three minutes. Then once your off you'll walk to the entrance of the haunted house where two people are standing and they remind you of the rules and if you have a group of eight or more to separate to groups of three or two. Then they ask for your ticket then you go right into the haunted house where your separated from the other people for about a three minutes difference. The haunted house was not to cheap about there scares every second there was a person here or there. But I don't really recommend the haunted house for children under 11 or 12. But there is hot cocoa if you wanna give the little ones a treat. Best experience ever can't wait for next year!

This beautiful wooded oasis is just up the hill from Fitchburg State University. The home is lovely, with three upstairs rooms available for guests. With our family along, we spent time in two of the rooms. The Harvard is spacious and has a great shower with streams from two sides. What a luxurious experience! The Hudson is also roomy with a serene view of the pool and the back woods (and chicken coop!). It has a jetted tub, so very relaxing, and a shower too. The beds are huge and comfortable, with what must be a pillow-top on the tall firm mattress. These might be the most comfortable rooms we've ever stayed in at a B&B! Breakfast is freshly made with several delicious options from a menu where you make you selections the night before. The eggs are fresh from their own chickens! The hosts Sarah and Ryan served us in a well-lit "Florida Room" with a view of the flower-garden. And we saw a hummingbird flitting among pink and lavender flowers! On the first floor, in addition to the breakfast room, there's a kitchenette with complimentary beer and soft drinks and snack bars, single-serve coffees, and tea bags with a hot and cold water dispenser, (and both milk and cream, thx!). There is a large comfortable sitting room, where we spent part of a pleasant evening with the friendly owners, swapping travel stories. And from there is an enclosed brick pathway to a rec room with a nice billiard table. To the left is the clean outdoor pool, or ahead is the open covered lighted porch with a ceiling fan, which has a step down to the pool. We took a few laps, then walked down and around to the patio with a fire-pit and a large jacuzzi. On an overcast September day, the pool was cool but not chilly, and the jacuzzi was warm with easy-to-adjust powerful jets. The chicken coop is hidden downhill a bit further, and there's no resident rooster so you might hear some cheerful clucking but no raucous crowing. It's just 1.5h by MBTA train from North Station in Boston to this tranquil hideaway. The hosts are charming and hard-working, always making improvements, always ready with friendly conversation. The price is of course a bit more than some local hotels, but not at all expensive, and our envious hotel-staying relatives all came by for a relaxing evening of wine on the porch.
