Legends of the Fog 2019
On October 26th the Haunt Review Crew visited Maryland's longest running haunted attraction; Legends of the Fog!
Upon arrival we scoped out the changes made to their large midway. Additional games and vendors have been added. Highly recommend the pit sandwiches! You know we like to sample the eats when we visit places!
The midway features a pay to scare booth where you can fire an air cannon into locations around the attractions! They have camera set up so you can watch your victims jump! The way they lay this out is you wait in line to begin and each attraction ends where the next picks up. Highly recommend fast passes. The closer to Halloween we get the busier the haunts become. The first attraction we encountered was the manor. We were greeted by none other than Garlic Mike. He's hard to miss in line... we could smell him approaching. Upon entering the manor we were welcomed by a frightfully dead bellhop. This actor set the tone of the show. As we went into their hellevator the actor inside played into the dialogue of the group to a T. He was funny, creepy and very in character. Its a quick little ride but the manor wouldn't be the same without it. The rooms in the manor seemed to have been changed and added to since our last visit. There were so mant details and scene props that we truly wished we had seen it in the day time free of actors. The scenes have gone from looking like props in dark rooms to total submersion in a haunted manor. The lighting and fog were perfection. We faced several fears along the way of spiders and darkness and things that go "Boo!" In the night! The manor leveled up and we loved it. It ends with us walking the corn maze. The Legends of the Fog corn maze was our favorite corn maze this season. The actors were so well hidden that they never appeared in places we expected. Every time someone came out it was a surprise. One scarecrow managed to get us way more times than anyone else in there. It was so much fun. Nothing with advanced technology or fancy sounds. This was good old fashioned gotchas in a dark tricky corn maze. We really had a blast in there getting lost. The 3rd attraction was their hayride. Absolute work has been done since we last took a ride! The sets have become more cohesive and laid out. The actors play into their environment and you can tell they're enhoying making people scream....and scream they did! There is one new scene in particular that made us react to a chainsaw. We see so many of those that it is rare for us to be phased. The scene itself is an original all built there onsite.
We love their use of all the senses for this show. The unexpected animatronics were awesome too, well placed and relevant to their scene. Lastly we walked through the Sinister Circus. There are very neat scenes out of a freakshow. We had a few times we stopped to stare at a prop to see if it would move. There were a few missed opportunities to scare us but the circus was entertaining nonetheless.
We truly enjoyed our visit overall and highly recommend you visit them during their lights out show during the 1st weekend in November!
