Went this past weekend after reading a few of the reviews on this very page. It was more of a whim than anything since I live in the Hermitage area. A few friends and I wanted something to do so we looked up the nearest haunted house to our place and Haunted Nashville was the closest. I'd say that's where our first mistake was made. \r
\r
TIckets were 23 buck a piece. 3 of us went, so that was $69 bucks total. Yep, $69 bucks. (pretty appropriate number seeing as how we all got SCREWED) Complete waste of hard earned money. \r
\r
This place had 3 seperate sections inside and none were worth remembering. The monster people kept talking to us and we could really care less what they were mumbling on about. We came to get scared, not be given a history lesson. \r
\r
I was really mislead by the reviews here and wish I would have paid more attention to them before we chose to go. Reading through them now, it really looks like the same person is writing the positive reviews under a different name. (or at least has someone else doing it for him/her) Every positve review talks about how this place doesn't have teenagers with chainsaws. Nearly EVERY one. But news flash to the person who runs this place:\r
\r
CHAINSAWS ARE SCARY! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. Monsters delivering lines like they're auditioning for the lead in Hamlet is NOT. \r
\r
\r
Again, it's obvious an employee is leaving the positive comments. Here are a few times chainsaws/hockey masks are mentioned. Convenient? I think not. They're all nearly IDENTICAL! \r

""If your idea of fright via a haunted house means blood, guts, gore and chain saw-wielding teenagers wearing hockey masks...""\r
\r
\r
""If you think the only way to do a haunted house is to have people in hockey masks with chainsaws chasing you, then you will be disappointed..""\r
\r
\r
""For a few reasons, the first being it didn't involve some teenager running at you with a chainsaw..""\r
\r
\r
""If you are seeking the commonplace chainsaws, gore, and violence seen in most haunted attractions...""\r
\r
\r
""finally someone has put together and truly scary \r
experience without resorting to cheap chainsaw gimmicks!""\r
\r
\r
""being chased by a guy with a chainsaw"" kind of haunted house. Some very cool visual effects, sets, sound effects and the actors seemed more like real actors, unlike other places that have obvious teenagers in Jason masks jumping out at you...""\r

I will let those bogus reviews speak for themselves. If you are reading this and are considerning paying to go to Haunted Nashville, spend your money somewhere else or give it to the bum we saw on the road near the building. At least then it will be better spent. If I could get my money back, I would. But I take it as a lesson learned. Don't trust the good reviews on Citysearch. \r
\r
25 Top Haunts?? Must have been a typo, because it can't be within the top 2500! The owner must be friends with that magazine like he OBVIOUSLY is with the writer below with Nashville Parent Magazine...I mean really?? You must be pretty desperate for advertisment if you are putting ads in a PARENT MAGAZINE for haunted houses. \r
\r
Anyways, I'm hitting up Slaughterhouse next week simply becuase that guy below me mentioned it. If you don't like that place, it must mean it's ACTUALLY scary. Thanks for the tip! \r
