Haunting At The Ridge — Local services in Middlefield

This attraction was a let down from the very beginning. Save your money it’s not worth it. The first thing we noticed was showing up in the parking lot with no proper signage or anything of excitement at the entrance. We drove in wondering if we were in the right place. After parking we walked towards the lights and stumble around a large building untill seeing a person standing at a ticket booth. We went there and got our tickets and proceeded to the haunted area. Approaching the one and only chainsaw man, leading to ski lift. The ski lift was well long and dark and with no interaction for this ten min ride up the mountain you had no choice but to enjoy the view of the haunted trail you’d be walking down. This left us with little to no surprise. The trail itself was pretty lame. Actors had a couple decent hiding places for a few jump scares and that was the extent of what you get. A few broke character and many didn’t even really interact with us as we walked by. Best part of this attraction was the cozy fire pits at the end. Very nice area to hang out in but we choose not to cause ultimately we felt dissatisfied with the experience and wanted to just get home. This attraction and location has a lot of potential. Hope it can upgrade...

This review is for Oct 2024. And we had a blast!

First, we went for 6:30 and the parking was easy and well marked. Just a short line to redeem our online ticket for a bracket. And they had plenty of clean restrooms.

The scariest part for me may have been the sky lift, as I’m terrified of heights and you’re going up in the dark. This was after a short wait to get started. No long lines for an hour. At least not early in the evening.

At the top we start to walk down the trail. You see a bit of it as you ride up, but it took nothing away from the experience. They have the trail well marked with several places to get escorted off if you need. This was kid friendly in the sense that it wasn’t overly scary and no one touches you.

Admittedly the attractions at the very end wasn’t something we cared for. Had some music and minimal food, and bit of entertainment. That said, the trail was the main attraction and it didn’t disappoint. Takes about 30 mins to walk done and we laughed the whole time! We plan to go back in the future. Thanks for the great time. (Note: we drove in from MA which was 2 hours driving and...

There's nothing remotely creepy, scary, or atmospheric here. There was no sense of how/why one scene/section ended and it was followed by X. Why did mutated corn come after werewolves? Large swaths of the trail were very bare or clearly need more scare actors involved to be able to scare people.

Plus, once atop the mountain via the chair lift, groups should be gathered then sent down in timed segments. As it was, I ran into the batch of people sent ahead of me, so I was never actually a target of the scares. All the jump outs and yelling and such was happening before me not to/at me.

The effects were minimalistic and range from not bad (the werewolf) to corny (the fire of the house very early on in the trail). The actors were all committed but had little to actual do.

This event is massive waste of time and money. Please do not attend and let it die. I had such a terrible time that I bought tickets to go to a different haunted attraction that night so I could have the experience I expected, a.k.a. so I could be you know, scared (it was Fright Haven for the record and...
