Nightmare on Independence Review »
With Halloween approaching, the most difficult of tasks was upon us - deciding what (and if) we would do in regards to a haunted house. The first problem is that admission fees have risen rather steeply in recent years, and the second is that our kids are at an age where they just might be ready to check some out. We've been to some local places where they might be able to deal with the goings-on, but we've also been to some where they most certainly couldn't. So it's a bit iffy.
Ultimately we decided that we'd try out the Nightmare on Independence. We did this for a few reasons. One, because it's close - just a few minutes away. Though there are other places that aren't too far, at least this one is close and we don't have to worry about driving a ways and paying a lot as well. Two, because there just aren't that many other options these days. Some open later and are a bit much, while others (the Jaycees house) seems to have closed entirely. Third, it seems that the Nightmare is on its last go-round, since a Wal-Mart will be opening in that space soon. So we went for it.
