Hey everyone,

Just wanted to stop by and say, thank you.

Even though we aren't listed under the pro-haunts, the reviews that we have received from October Lounge have been just awesome. They are great to have, but most of all our actors adore the recognition.

Sadly though, this is most likely the last year of the haunt. Both my producer and myself are graduating this year, and so far no students have stepped up to take this huge project over.

But the good news is, we are back this year with a brand new haunt!

We're running the 25th-31st from 6-10pm at Boulder High School and our website is BoulderHighHauntedHouse.com, so if you're in the area stop on by!

Thanks so much for your support throughout the years,
Noah

Last year? Nooooooooo!!! Say it isn't so!! You have to recruit someone to take over, or maybe you can arrange to come back and do the haunt next year????

Oh man! It will be sad to see you go. I'll cross my fingers that you'll keep producing awesome haunts in some facet as a future venture. After college... or whatever crazy plans you might have. Indeliblemind and I (former critics from last year) LOVE your haunt. We recommend it to everyone and will certainly do so this year as well.

I'm glad to hear you'll be back this year at least, but you will be missed.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Noah!

While it's sad to hear it might be the last, I'm so stoked for this year! You guys consistently put on one of the best shows around and when you consider the price and the shorter lines (though that may change with all your popularity!), I'm hard pressed to recommend anything better. Noah, we'll hope to see more of your work in the future.

Oh yeah, and I'm I mistaken or is this the only haunt around that COMPLETELY reinvents itself every year? I mean new name, new theme, new twists, turns, and scares! Mad props for that.

Sorry to hear, but something tells me your passion and love for this will carry on elsewhere. Shall you have a great year and go out with a bang. Keep up the great haunting work! my favorite part is a group of you get together and create long lasting skills, friendships, and memories that you will cherish for a long time. Yet another example here of the fun that can be had for a holiday that should be celebrated and enjoyed by all and can also create great ways to do charity work or fundraising. I wish you had some pictures from years past.

Okay,

I went to this haunt last night and what an amazing experience!! They have really outdone themselves this year and pulled off some great new ideas I haven&#39;t seen before!! My friends were screaming and jumping all the way through and some of the scenes were very disturbing and creepy. My favorite has to be the tv room. Makeup was awesome and the creepy kid watching old reruns gave me shivers.
Loved the makeup and costumes this year and some new set ideas were outrageous and made me stop to look twice to see if my eyes were deceiving me.
Great job once again and I also spoke with them and they said that they found other students that were taking over, so they will be back next year!!! YIPPEE!!!!!
If you haven&#39;t been this year, go. If you&#39;ve never been, GO!

Finally got up to Boulder tonight and as usual I think Noah and all of the students at Boulder High did a great job. We also went to Asylum beforehand and I think Necrophobia was on par if not better! Asylum is one of my favorite haunts, but it felt pretty similar to years past. What I love about Boulder High is seeing something new every year. They work with the same space, but you&#39;d never know because you&#39;re so immersed in the experience.

From start to finish I think they did a solid job telling a story and building it to a quality end. There were a few random pieces that didn&#39;t quite fit, but overall I felt like I was following the path of carnage left by a killer. Makeup was spot on. Acting was superb. Sets seemed to be well thought out and they use space in such an impressive way. I definitely recommend going!

My only tiny gripe was going in a large group. What was ultimately cool about that is that our group ended up splitting and still the timing was perfect. The larger groups also seemed to cut down on the wait in line, which was a nice plus, but I personally like going through with 4 or less people.

**SORT OF SPOILER BELOW***
I loved the subtle blood drooling girl, the grunting burlap? faced tunnel dwellers, the photo room, the chained up crawling kid, Mom in the beginning, the surprising use of light and the mob near the end & meeting the killer in the last room was bonkers!
