After hearing about Goatman Hollow so much on Rotting Flesh Radio, I knew I wanted to swing by and see this Haunt. When I got there I was treated to a surprise celebrity appearance (well at least a surprise to me).

Fortunately, my Saturday evening was going smoothly so I would be able to visit Goatman Hollow Haunted House. When I got there, I find celebrity Jonathan Johnson from Rotting Flesh Radio there. And that’s me having fun calling him a celebrity and not Jonathan – he’s a humble guy and wouldn’t call himself that. I met the folks that make Goatman possible next, including Jay Wright. I went ahead and jumped in with the next group and what a crazy group it was.

The show is very theatrical with about 3 – 5 minute skits acted out in each scene that advance the story of the Goatman. The actor in the first room introduces himself as an agent and briefs us on the Goatman and our mission. The actor was cast perfectly and if you told me he was a real government agent, I would believe you. The story continues room to room through secret passageways and elevators.

The haunt has solid scenic design that hopefully you can see in some of the pictures below. The actors also did a good job with their dialogue. There is a nice bedroom scene with a ghost, a great looking attic set and a gruesome cannibal kitchen scene. However, the star of the show has got to be Doctor Fletcher who scared the hell out of my group during his skit. I don’t mean screaming scared, I mean running over your friend to get to the other side of the room scared. I hadn’t seen anyone scared like that until Goatman.

The cast and crew and Goatman do a great job and put on a great show. It is more theatrical than most so it offers something different than most haunts. Check it out if you ever in the area.

Thanks for your hospitality and have a great season!
