3.0 out of 5 stars Great Planner, but Poor Room Designs, October 17, 2000
By W. Wilson "Wes Wilson" (Huntsville, AL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an EXCELLENT book for those who wish to run a small public haunted house. The planning guides and preparation run-throughs are excellent. My only problem with this book is that the sample room designs are rather trite and not very well done. None of them are good "walk-through" scares, and almost all of them require a guide of some kind. I will use this book when it comes to preparing for the Haunt, but I won't be using any of this material inside of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment.... at its finest., February 13, 2002
By Christopher Wolfe (Fresno, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
Well I bought this book and the only good thing about it was that it gives sort of a good overview to everything that goes into running a haunted house. The bad thing is it was way too short. I opened the book and read it in a matter of hours. It's just over a hundred pages and a lot of the space is taken up by worthless illustrations and example forms. The room designs are for the most part stupid, (I got maybe 2 good ideas I will use) and it doesn't elaborate on anything important really. However this book is a must, soley for the fact that it is one of the only books out there on the subject.
