While the horror industry has been pushing to make experiences gorier, sexier, and more grotesque, Mable’s 6 Feet Under<\/em><\/a> brings horror back to its roots and captures the magic of haunts – a classic haunted house filled with gorgeous sets, passionate actors, and actual mazes to get in lost in. Mable’s<\/em>\u00a0is fun. It\u2019s nostalgic, it\u2019s clever, and it\u2019s a great time for people of any age, from thirteen-year-olds to the most seasoned of haunt veterans. It accomplishes this by foregoing any shock scares, and instead, creating a real build-up of fear through a series of clever, labyrinthine rooms that keep the patron lost in the motel. Actors pop in and out of the maze\u2014giving the appearance that there are Mables haunting every corridor. Passage ways often lead to dead-ends and guests are forced to retrace their steps\u2014only to find that they are now in a new area of the motel. The fun comes in trying to figure out how to get out\u2014or when Mable will let you out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s more than just actors and mazes; some of the best scares come from encounters with many clever hydraulic motion-sensored frights. These technological marvels provide wonderful jump-scares that are truly innovative and reminiscent of carnival dark rides of days yonder. Barrels fall, rushing towards you; a gigantic jack-in-the-box sings, until it pops open; and long hallway with train tracks have guests walk towards a bright light with trepidation. These scares are perfectly telegraphed so that you know they are coming, and the scare feels genuine and smart.<\/p>\n
