Texas Scaregrounds

A wise band called the Eurythmics once said.. Everybody is looking for something.. Well.. if you are looking for a GOOD haunted house, worth the 45+ mile drive, for the love of God do NOT waste your time on the Texas Scaregrounds. Overall it was so crappy that I want to call the management and demand not only my ticket money back, but the five bucks we paid to park PLUS the gas money to drive way the hell out to Kennedale, TX. Who knows where that is, anyhow?First, like I said, it was a LONG drive out there. Google maps sucks, but that's another story. We drove out there, approached the haunted house and were a little surprised to see it was a bunch of warehouses. I mean, I've been to GOOD haunted houses that were warehouses... but based on the reviews, we expected a little more. So...We pulled in and were told it was five dollars to park. Okay. So we paid that, like the good little sheep that we are. Parked, waited in line for a good long while and bought our 25 dollar tickets (28 without the 3 dollar coupon you can print from their website). First we went to the Chaos haunted house. It was the best one at the Texas Scaregrounds by far. I, personally, am pretty wimpy, and easily startled, and it was okay. We enjoyed it well enough. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. We went to the Asylum next, and it was not as interesting or as startling. It was fairly dull.Then... we went on the haunted hayride. Okay, so the employees TOLD us that it was the most 'family friendly' attraction. But...really, what they meant that it was quite possibly the most pathetic thing I have ever experienced at a "haunted" attraction ever. We stood in line to RIDE the stupid hayride probably three times as long as we were actually ON it. I don't even know how to describe it other than incredibly boring, pathetic and a huge, huge waste of time. It was like a bad joke. Worse than a bad joke. Seriously. Painfully bad. Three people in masks following a trailer being pulled by a suburban does not really make a haunted hayride, sorry.After that pathetic experience, we figured we might as well try and squeeze out a little more for our wasted money and went to the "nightmares" haunted house. The only nightmare was the stupid line. It was really boring, and rather short. I can't even be bothered to write much about it.All I can REALLY say is we will NEVER waste our time going to Texas Scaregrounds again. I rather go to Screams and I am really not even impressed by Screams. Next year, hopefully we can find something to erase our sad memories of the WORST HAUNTED ATTRACTION EVER!

Texas Scaregrounds had their opening weekend this past weekend. As far as opening weekends go they were on their game! I have been to many haunts opening weekends and most are unorganized, poorly staffed, and just plain a waste of time. Chaos on the other hand was spot on!! The actors were well versed and on their marks. They had plenty of actors and more than enough scares to go around. It was only $18 to get in with the coupon from their website and parking is free this year!

WOW is all I can say!!! Last year scared this piss out of me so bad!!! I ran as far as I could though this haunt!!! Not only do they (the actor)like to seperate you once u get in there they get in ur face with blood pooring out their mouths screaming slambing walls and running after u with chainsaws so much of it looks real it really messes with ur mind!! I will not forget the huge woman in the bloody room that came running at me screaming with chains wrapped around her in a strobe light room my son and daughter was with me and up to this point they was scared but not terrified til she ran at us there was other actors in the room seperating our group as she got in our faces.....I have to admit closing my eyes was not an option as she said why dont you look at me....what you dont want to witness your own death... she really got our "blood" pumping for the next rooms which by that time my husband had grabed me saying okay yes this is scary first realistic haunt and im ready to go! we had to go another 30 minutes before getting out! the next rooms are just as bad with crazed man eaters and screamers and clowns!!! They even chase you with chainsaws! ine of the actors ran their chainsaw up my husbands leg he ran all the way to the car! I will be back for 2012 no denying that! cant beat the price either for under 25 bucks for a hayride(not to scary good for little kids could be better!) but the haunt is more worth it!!! id pay 35 for this haunt! By the way they have little kids working in this haunt so watch out they jump from all kinds of places and to see a them in freddy kruger and jumping on blood covered beds is kinda creepy if you ask me!!

We went to Texas Scaregrounds a couple of years ago. I went with one of my friends, her sister, her sister's boyfriend, their kids, and my boyfriend at the time (now husband). We went into the last haunted house. In this one was a room that was DARK and had mattresses on the floor. Anyone who has tried to walk on mattresses knows it isn't stable. Combine this with a very dark room. I was the last one to go into this room, right have the kids that was with us. The kids feel to the left side right on the mattresses. I feel straight ahead into a metal bar that was covered with a sheet. My head collided with the metal bar. They pulled me out and gave me a bottle of water to put on my eye. My friend ran and got my boyfriend who was waiting at the truck due to his back pain from Iraq. He came running despite his pain. Looked at my eye and immediately took me to the ER. By the time we got to the ER, my eyelid had swelled up like you would not believe along with a gash on my eyelid. We took pictures outside the ER and while I was waiting in my room at the ER. My eye had swelled even more while in my room. I did not have insurance at the time so I got stuck with the ER bill and ER doctor bill. I had a lawyer send them a letter requesting payment of medicail bills, pain and suffering, and temporary disfigurement. To this day, they have not paid anything. Just keep giving the run around. I will continue to relay this message as long as it takes.
