Located in Chamersburg, PA it used the old Franklin County Prison as a heart pounding halloween attraction

I have only ever been to Jason's Woods, and I was not impressed. Not very scary at all, and I am the type that scares easily. That was a couple of years ago, so it may have improved since then.

^Same here. It was rediculous because we waited so long to get into it... just to find out that we wasted our time.

I was in Jasons Woods 2 years ago, Field of Screams last Sunday, Terror Beyond Bars last year and Hidden Terror is mine. I have had it for 2 years at a church. Me, my brother and my mother design the whole thing. This is its second year. I will be going back to Jasons Woods this year again. I thought it was pretty good. The lines are always the worst, after paying over $20 a person why should we have to wait in a long line?

Shocktoberfest is only 4 or 5 miles from me and I wouldn't say it's a big deal to me, but I guess it would be to a haunted attraction enthusiest (probably would be like Disney to them in a way probably) if the way they advertise it is true. Some of my friends at school get jobs there and for Halloween, dress up in their character to school. I've even thought about getting a job there, but it was probably too late.

I haven't been to one of these haunted attraction places before.

If you're looking for a good Haunted House I would suggest Fright Night in Chambersburg, PA.
I was there in 2007 and 2008 (they didn't open in 2009) and thought it was very well done. Good actors and scares and extremely detailed sets. The theme changes every few years. This year it's a medieval theme. Their web page is www.fright-nights.com.
