The Haunted Shack Started Several Years Ago As a Community Driven Haunted House. It Was Just a Small Three Hour Production Held in a Small 600 Square Foot Basement of the Local Fire Hall in Gary New Duluth. With Local Citizens Digging Through Their attics and Garages for Christmas Lights and Other Props that they used To Make The Haunted House. Someone Else Would Bring a Small Boom Box with a Halloween Spooky Tape and Play it in the Background. A web of ropes and plastic suspended from the Fire House Ceilings Made the Haunted Maze.
Actors dressed Up in Costumes and Jumped out on Cue to scare the kids and adults That Ventured Through small town haunted house. With Spaghetti for Brains, a Man dressed as a Gorilla, The Local Teacher as Dracula and the Head in the Table Gag it was a Great Show for a Small Town. Since then a great deal of effort has helped the shack expand into a thriving haunted attraction!

Review This HauntGreat!!!
I’m an actor there, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! It’s so fun! Even kids day is fun for everyone. Yes there’s lines, buts it’s worth the wait. This year (2024) I made a teenage girl pee themselves lol, scared someone who you think wouldn’t be scared. Would recommend to go or volunteer! Love it and it’s non profit!!!!!!! Most money they make goes to making it better, fixing a few things, then they donate the rest!

I haven't been in several years. They now have a permanent location. Haunted Hayride. Wasn't too scary but it was good, the Haunted trail thru the corn was terrifying. The actors were all amazing and into there parts. My daughter and her boyfriend peed themselves. They have a maze at the end that around every corner there was another scare. Took us awhile to find our way out. Then the Haunted Shack portion which is what I remembered from there last location. This was way better than it has ever been. My wife only made it to the 1st scene and went back out. They have this elevator thing you get into and it feels like you don't know what direction your going. Up/down all over. The pneumatic pop out props are everywhere and you don't know if it is a real or fake person. Absolutely lovee it and can't wait for this 2023 season. I will be back. - The Hoeer Family, Roseville,Mn

First timers 2021. Wasn’t expecting too much as this is volunteer based, however it was good! The hayride part wasn’t the best, but I believe it was because they were short on volunteers the night we went. There were many empty stations throughout the ride that if filled would have made that part so much more exciting. The corn maze was killer! They have amazingly healthy, high corn which adds to the scare factor with many actors throughout. The haunted shack was also very good with many actors and exciting events throughout. We will be back!

Email Verified Disappointed
Very unorganized. We got “fast passes” to get on the hayride. Ended up standing in like for 20 minutes until we saw where the fast lane was. I went up there and asked if that was the fast lane and the lady was rude and said no, there is no fast lane. We went back and stood in line. We still kept seeing people get on in the other lane so I went back up there and the people in line told me it was indeed the fast pass lane. So we got in the line and got on right away. Went through the woods, little set ups throughout the woods but nothing intimidating. Walked on the very edge of the corn field for about 5 minutes, nothing scary or jumping out at us there. Went through the shack which was decent. Then it was over. Would recommend to have people dressed up walking up to the hayride to scare people, maybe have them jump on the wagon and ride along for a good scare. Definitely have people dressed up walking in the corn to make it somewhat spooky.

Email Verified Highly disappointing
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year and I love going to haunted attractions. I drove with three friends, an hour and a half, to basically take a walk. We paid extra for the VIP tickets (50 dollars for two), which is supposed to allow you to jump the line and get into the attractions first. You start with the hayride and then get dropped off at the corn maze, both of which are toddler approved. After you walk through the ‘corn maze’, you get in line for the hah ted shack portion. I was hoping that my disappointment would be relived once we got in. And as a “VIP” ticket buyer, I stood outside in the rain for 30 minutes before even getting inside to take a 5 minute walk about. Needless to say, next year, I will be going somewhere else.

TOTALLY AWESOME HIGHLY RECCOMEND
This was totally amazing. They had a headless horseman that came out of no where on the Haunted Hayride. Actors were awesome in the woods. Best Hayride they put on yet. The Haunted Shack had added to the venue with more scenes and twist and turns than ever and was scary then ever. The Hellevator and Vortex Tunnel are always awesome. Cant wait for the 2016 season to begin. Highly recommend this event to all haunted attractions enthusiast. and its all for great causes. Special Olympics Food Shelf and Coats for kids.... I cant believe its all volunteer organization totally amazing.

Good time, good cause
Fun haunted house in Duluth benefiting the Special Olympics. The hayride is SUPER cheesy, but it's still fun to be outside. No scares in that part, but who cares. Then you go to the indoor portion and it's WAY better. They put lots of time between groups of people so the actors have a better chance to scare you (not like the Haunted Ship). No story line that we could figure out, but it was fun.

This is a MUST SEE!
I went last night, and boy was it amazing!!! We LOVED the headless horseman during the hayride, and they did a fantastic job on the haunted shack also! The actors were very good at what they were doing, scaring us! I would definitely recommend going to this! The only thing I suggest for people who are going to this, is dress warm and be prepared to stand 2-3 hrs waiting in line. It IS worth the wait, though!!!

Totally Awesome and great Special Effects
I go every year to the Haunted Shack. There special effects are totally amazing. This last year they had a "Hellevator" a ride in an elevator that is so awesome and they also had there Tunnell of Terror. It is a rotating tunnel that makes you feel as if you are going upside down. There actors are amazing. Only thing is come early there's long lines. We waited over an hour to get in but it is all for charity. Totally awesome.....
