The Dark Carnival in 3D was mind blowing. There was lot of scares, screams, and still people were laughing and enjoying. The best thing here is that it has a village kind of vibe which is never present in many such haunted houses. We have visited lots of haunted attractions in the past but this was definitely the unique amongst them all. 
Wow.we loved each other company and the haunt was awesome. I am a great fan of haunted houses and this season I visited Dark Woods with my sister. Great actors, friendly staff, good props altogether a very well planned haunted house! Scare Factor: The haunted trail is also very scary with lots of twists and turns. There were two major attractions and we enjoyed the Dark Carnival in 3D which was awesome. We were first taken for a bus ride from the parking lot which was totally different from the other haunted places I have been to. We have been regularly visiting the Dark Woods and I must say this is the best place ever.
