Review content:
Let me start out by saying a bit about myself. I'm a pretty modern girl that has worked in the entertainment industry for for over 6 years. Indeed, I didn't leave the industry until the man who introduced me to it past away. I just lost my love for it.
Fast forward 11 years when I got an email that Haunted Nashville was looking to hire people for their show. ""Show?"" I thought. ""Never heard a haunted house call itself that before."" My next thought was that I had never heard of the place before. I've worked over the years for several Haunts in this area but never heard of Haunted Nashville. Come to find out, I just missed them. As I left to move to another state for a few years, they were just getting started. This was in 09.
So I show up for auditions and I was simply floored. Even as the haunt was building new ideas, I had never in my life been to a haunted house that looked like I just strolled onto a horror movie set. It was unreal. The attention to detail was simply unmatched and as a former entertainment professional, I could see the pain staking detail and all the time that must have gone into the attraction.
I did my audition, left and decided regardless if I get a call back, I am positive to come back and go through. I just had to see it fully operational and staffed.
As luck would have it, I did get a call back and I now work for this Haunted Attraction. So how can I be unbiased and yet still work there? Because I have nothing to gain by lying. I don't get paid according to what HN makes or doesn't make. Its not thousands of hours of my life vested in it. I do what I do for the sake of the art and my total love for my character. It would be easier to just not speak at all then waste time on a lie.
I read people say that all the good reviews are written by staff. To my knowledge only The owner who posted before me, and myself have written to this board. Something no one seems to consider is the compition who write bad reviews to keep people away so they spend their money else where. Its bad form, but its happened.
Also, people mention the lack of chainsaws a lot. Well I know I myself mention there are no chainsaws when people first enter. Its fresh on their mind and so very many people never miss the loud things. I personally never found a chainsaw with no chain being weilded by someone who can't touch you as being scary.
Nathan Hamalton is brilliant in the way he gets inside your head and not only scares you external, but also gets you to scare yourself mentally. He works feverishly everyday to ensure the best possible guest experience and I can tell you from talking to hundreds of our guests after the show, that he delivers.
As you go out this Halloween season and try to decide how to spend your entertainment dollars, you need only to ask yourself this: Do I want a mindless shock show with no story, people dressed up as movie monsters, played by untrained actors that depend only on overloading your senses with blood, gore and chainsaws, or do I want a show that has a story that's engaging, trained actors, an experience that leaves you scared long after the show is over and memories you can take with you as a lone seeker or a family outing (because haunted Nashville is family friendly).
Many Haunts may well try to copy this style in the future but there will always be only one Haunted Nashville. I for one am very proud to work and have experienced (I've gone through the whole show 3 times) such an amazing attraction. Check us out for yourself!
Most sincerely,
Olivia
