Nothing. This is one of the worst haunts I have been to in years.
To start off, we entered the haunt and right away I notice the unfinished look of the place, the counter was unpainted wafer board the tools still on it and the poorly hidden sound equipment. The bell hop took us to our elevator and started to give the history and we could not hear a word she was saying the sound completely drown her out, either turn down the sound or turn up the actor. So after a couple minutes in the elevator we were free to wander the halls of the haunt, again with the unfinished feel of this haunt after about two rooms with strange black spray paint I finally figured out that these were supposed to be flames.
After wandering through many empty rooms we encountered our first Screamer, I call her this because that is all she did was shriek 2-3 times as our group entered and left her room. Again we wandered through many empty halls and rooms, we even found a fire exit hall, nothing takes you out of the atmosphere faster than a bit of reality. I think we encountered a total of 6 actors in the entire haunt on a Friday night. Of the 6 actors we encountered only one did something other than shriek or grunt at us, and she was the bell hop in the first room and no one could hear her.
Overall, I liked the layout and the sets had potential if they were completed. This could've been a better haunt had there been more actors to guide us along the way and do something other than shriek and grunt.
Scare Factor: 1(Hard to be scared if there isn't anyone there to scare you)
Actors: 1 (better if they had lines)
Set Design/Props/FX: 7(would be higher if they were completed)
Length: 5
Overall 3.5
