Haunted Mill

I waited in line for two hours! It scared the bejesus out of me so bad that I will probably never do this again, but what a great show! Its such a great event in the community even though it’s just not my cup of tea. I recommend for the braver folk than I!

3 sisters ages 42, 55 and 59 went and we had a blast! Probably the best Halloween Haunt I have ever been to! The wait maybe a tad long, but like anything good in life it’s worth the wait. The hold up may be the fast pass people… They shouldn’t have it! But then again, if you want to spend $ 45 for the fast pass, it is for charity, go for it! The tour itself is about an hour, they do have apple cider and snacks… Go have fun!

I had a lot of fun here. The wait time was not long even though the line was but it was moving at a fast pace. The first haunted house was not so scary because we were the last two in our group so we kept missing the scares which happened at the front. My favorite part was the last two parts of the attraction. Its a bit more interacted and scary. It takes about 30 – 45 minutes to get through the whole thing. There’s even a hayride that you get to go on for a few minutes. And the zombies chase it and try to grab you so watch out!
I would definitely recommend if you’re a haunted house addict like me :)

This should be a five-​star review.
Each weekend evening in October, community members rally behind a centuries-​old mill that has turned into a museum.
They decorate the inside of the historic building and the nine-​acre property to resemble a house of horrors, prison for the insane, graveyard and other Halloween-​themed sites of horror.
Volunteer actors don monster costumes, get their hair made up in scary styles, get squirted with fake blood and equip themselves with the appropriate implements of mayhem — chainsaws, sicles, machine guns, etc.
Lighting and sound effects are wonderful. A hay ride after the «tour» of the mill is fun. Walking through other staged areas is spooky and amusing. BUT…
Five reasons why this Halloween fund-​raising event for the historic mill in Clinton, NJ, isn’t worth the hassle:
1– it’s disorganized.
2 — Wait lines are excessive (likely 3+ hours for those arriving even an hour after dark
3 — only 10 people can go through the mill at a time.
4 — unless you like the performers at Renaissance fairs, you will end up slugging someone who sneaks up behind you and yells «huzzah»
5 — there’s no seasonal food or drink to help those wary of standing in a cold, grid-​locked line A candy apple or hot cider isn’t too much to ask. A chilled shot of Jack would be better
5a — the rent – a-​cops on Segway scooters look like tools and could really benefit from the exercise benefits of walking
I spent $ 125 and drove my family from NYC to attend. We arrived at 6:15 and didn’t leave until almost 10.
My 1973 backyard carnival to fight muscular dystrophy was better organized.
