Fear is Good!

Hit another new haunt last night, Ghoul Mansion in Sharon, PA. For the haunting season Sharon is referred to as "Scarin'" and the ghouls of the Mansion really know how to do that.
Sharon is a bit of a hidden gem. Home to the Reyers, the world's largest shoe store, The Winner, a popular place for formal dresses and Daffin's Candy, Sharon can also lay claim to an excellent haunted attraction in Ghoul Mansion. The Mansion, in its eighteenth year, has all of the passion and excitement of a first-year venture, with none of the mistakes. This is a well-oiled, professional machine, yet the people who work there are interested and invested and just darn glad to be there, scaring the heck out of you.
In my opinion, the staff makes the difference at a haunted attraction. Fill up a place with fancy animatronics and gore, anyone can do that, and often times they create a place in which you'll find yourself yawning as you go through. But hire genuinely relentless, dedicated haunters and let them go at it, and you have a great, scary experience. That's what you have in Scarin' Sharon.
Make no mistake, the place is professional, with great make up, a complicated maze, and more, but the quantity and quality of the ghosts and ghouls put Ghoul Mansion in a class of its own.
There are actually two attractions at one site here. The Mansion (10 bucks) and CarnEvil in 3-D (10 bucks) and you can do both for 15. I suggest doing both, for sure. Separately they are worth the ten bucks, easy. But together for 15? You can't lose. What's more, partial proceeds benefit the Akron Children's Hospital! I was so impressed by that. A great haunt, worth much more than the admission AND they give money to charity? Truly this place is first rate.
One more thing, after the experience we talked to an incredibly cute and knowledgeable young man who is most likely a higher-up at GH. He talked to us about a couple of other local haunts. He had the most complimentary words of praise for 100 Acres Manor and the incredible Factory of Terror and their genius. We found this to be gracious, first-class and right on (we love 100 Acres and FOT, as you know!!!). Great and ghoulish times at Ghoul Mansion and CarnEvil.
