Email Verified Good haunt but not as scary as advertised.

The costumes, decor and music was amazing but the trail that does not touch you is very boring and i feel it can be done better. I hope that the other scare is much more thrilling. The actors were really nice and great people even if they weren’t quiet and couldn’t stay still:)

BUDGY SAIDS IT'S AWESOME & WICKED

The brain is constantly taking in information from our senses. Processing that information isn’t a problem. Dealing with a stream of input is a struggle for kids with sensory processing difficulties. BEWARE there are strobe lights, dark paths (easily touching your way through-), earthly smells & to include flatus from guess or actors, sensory tunnels pushing your way through, sounds of hysteria, and smells of yummy food (bring cash). Actors do not touch you. DO NOT touch them in a state of fright. Lots of fun music and characters. Definitely need to do themed weddings on the property! I am not affiliated with anyone at Lake Joy Trails Of Terror. I just had a pucking great time!

My bff and I went and it was awesomely scary! Lol. She hit her head twice on the van and I got tossed around and hit my knee. If it had better lighting, I’m certain we could’ve enjoyed it more. We know what to expect next time so we’ll have our head gear and padding ready. ????

Wonderful experience

Best of places to have a haunted trail. You start with a very slow pace and as you proceed through the woods you pace quicken out of fear. The scenes were detailed and you feel the adrenaline rush to run out of the trail each time you face the actors. They were all already to scare the wits out of you. Wonderful experience.

Unique experience. The serenity and tranquility are a big cover up of the eeriness and mystery that is actually in store. It was dark and that made us scary. Props and special effects used at random made us jump out of fear. A lovely and memorable time!!

The trail was very well done with many unexpected things. You did not know what to expect. It is definitely a must see! The cost is reasonable and the trail was longer than 30 minutes. Plus the characters worked the crowd. They have food and a DJ. It's really well done for a night out.

Email Verified Face your worst fears

One of the best with a different sort of experience. Yes of course it sure was scary. You get to walk through the woods to face your worst fears. You need to be really careful as you walk the uneven path that is filled with leaves roots and mud. So, wear a closed toe old shoes to protect your foot completely. The walk was long enough to exhaust and excite you.

Email Verified Awesome special effects

I attended on a slow night with minimum actors, and was still amazed. I plan to attend again on a busier night to see how much better it will get with all the actors.This was my first time at this haunt and I was astonished at all of the special effects and attention to detail throughout the trail. My experience with low budget haunts like this are generally patchef together and predictable. Lake Joy is a professional experience with friendly and passionate staff ( shout-out to Ms. Robin).The night I went the "ultimate experience" was unavailable, therefore next time I will spend the money to try that experience.In middle Georgia this haunt was better than Montrose and the haunt at Georgia Veterans State Park.

Dark and creepy

Dark and creepy, the best way to get through it is holding hands of your partner. They had a great location and designed well to create fear. The scenes were nightmarish and lasted long in my mind. We raced through the woods trying to escape from the scares which was a failed ordeal. The actors can catch up with you anytime. Go only if you are prepared to be scared.

Email Verified Best haunt ever

This place is awesome! They got a DJ playing awesome music while you wait to go in. Once you're in, it's non stop fright and adventure. They leave you wondering where the next scare is coming from. Nothing is predictable. It is well worth the wait to get in. The $5 extra experience is awesome unlike any other haunt. I will def go back here because it is different every year and takes 30 minutes or more to get through the whole thing.

A plethora of scary tactics put us in the fear zone from the beginning itself. One of the best outdoor haunted events in Georgia. Amazing actors equipped with right costumes and props to strike the fear at right time. Queues were long but DJ entertained us a lot. Loved the concept of unlevel grounds in the maze. Hats off to actors and organizers.

Had a horrifying time

Awesome place to get a perfect combo of horror and humor. I went with my girlfriend on a Saturday and we too had a horrifying time. Hats-off to all actors as they did fantastically well in scaring both of us. At the end of the trail, we felt enervated due a heck lot of yelling. Can’t wait to see visit again.

And one is so close to home! Went with friends and we were blown away. Planning on coming back very soon. The haunt was about 30 min to walk through. No down time and well planned scares. A professional quality house close to home for mid ga residents. Definitely worth checking out!

Never missed a year!!!!!

I've been going every year and this place has never let me down on the suspense. Yes their could be some better lighting, different excesses for those who can't enter small places. But being dark is the best part of having the suspense. Friday 13th Jason's scene- feels just like the movies, never know where or what he will do he will popp up anywhere. By far my fav, but every scenes is two thumbs up. One thing that should come back is the room that turns. I've seen elevator movements, trolleys carts, etc but not a room that spins. This place can come up with some amazing things, please bring that back.

This was the best place I have been to! Great scare, not a 10min haunted house like the rest, not the same thing every year, It changes every year, we have been 5 years in a roll and every year things are different that is really nice, unlike going to Montrose, Haunted Barn, Nevermore hills. This place is awesome every year things get better. Good prices, great scare what else can you ask for! Worth every penny spent and every minute waiting in line!!

This was a really scary haunt! Creative and very original ideas! My only advice would be to have a way to avoid or warn people that there is a tube ( pipe ) to crawl thru. My husband has a bad knee and it was tough, other than that, wow !!! Fun night and lots of bang for the buck . Also all for charity!!!
