I am currently working on putting together al of the video footage from the haunt this year. Keep checking back for updates but I hope to have it up on the site within a few weeks.

This year I received an email that they were holding an Open House / Dry Run night prior to opening to the public and we were invited to check it out. We met the owners of this haunt a few years back at a HauntX convention in LA and really hit it off. Unfortunately we never got a chance to check out their haunt due to the fact they run it only on Halloween. This haunt was a little ways away, but completely well worth it.

Home haunts around Orange County are few and far between this early in the season; most do not open up until the week before or are only open 1 night (Halloween). So when we had the opportunity to check out HauntWorx in Brea this early in the season we jumped on it. Originally we set out to go through the Saw maze in Brea a second time to re-review it; but circumstances led us to this haunt instead Saturday night.

The outside décor is great and a large movie screen above the haunt entrance provides some great entertainment in the way of B-Movie clips for line waiters (there are also monsters wandering around). The setup reminds me of an old backwoods shack and pulls you into the haunt from the get go. Once inside the theme continues in what can be best described as “Inbred Family” similar to what has been used in horror movies such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. Being that this is the first haunt I have ever seen use this theme I must say I think this is one of the most original and unique ideas for a haunt.

OK, so we tried to go to the saw haunt again to re-review it. Unfortunately by the time we got there (about 7:15 PM) the line was already about an hour or so deep. While we looked at the line and everything else we noticed they were not even open yet. Unfortunately we are busy working on our haunt and we did not have the time to wait that long in line so we decided to check out a home haunt that was down the street before heading off to run our errands. Sometime in the next few days I will get the haunt review up for HauntWorx. As a quick note though this is one I recommend you check out. My full review will be up soon.

As for the Saw haunt it is unfortunate that I am going to have to stick to my original review as this was my last opportunity to go. I will say that from the outside there have been a number of added improvements for the decor and a better attention to detail. So I can only assume what I have herd about the inside being fixed up is true. If you get an opportunity to check it out add your thoughts to the comments section of the review.
