RATING 
REVIEW
The Asylum has always been that haunt that capitalizes on two things, the Dark and the Strobe. This year is no different. Make no mistake, this haunt is not suitable for younger children, as evidenced by the group ahead of mine which included two parents and 3 very young children – who were so terrified that they were literally frozen with fear not 2 rooms into the haunt and had to be escorted out. There are lots of disturbing and gory imagery in this haunt, which of course always makes my day. The actors/actresses are excellent! Each one acts accordingly as an inmate in an insane asylum and they literally are bananas crazy. Their intensity is rival to that of any other haunt in Denver – they are just as creative and intense. I’m not sure if I didn’t notice this last year or if this is new, but there seems to be even more drawings and scribbles on the walls throughout the haunt. The best part is that the high intensity strobes they use really distort your vision and make the drawings even sinister – I swear it seems like some of them even move across the walls because you’re so disoriented. The Asylum has plenty of scares to offer as well, whether it’s the deranged inmates dressed like a clown climbing on the walls, a lonely girl singing a disturbing lullaby or the magnificent electrocuting man – who is getting shocked so hard his head comes within inches of your nose this year as you walk by. As usual, The Asylum delivers once again.
PROS
Intense acting and very disorienting strobes
CONS
3-4 tents just isn’t enough for me, I want a dozen

Jul 13, 2009 There are several things that should be taken into consideration when young children go trick-or-treating. The primary concern is safety, but comfort should also be kept in mind. To begin with, an adult should accompany young children. If a large group of young children is trick-or-treating together, be sure to bring several adults along.
Children choose their costumes based upon any number of criteria, such as how popular it is, how scary it is, etc. There are other factors that should be considered by the child’s parents. It is often cold on Halloween night, so be sure that a costume is either warm enough by itself, or that it is loose-fitting enough to accommodate a warm layer of clothing underneath it.
Also, be sure that the costume does not obstruct the child’s view. This is one of several safety considerations. Inspect the costume to make sure that there are no parts that could act as a tripping hazard. Likewise, see to it that any accessory items do not have sharp edges or points.
Visibility is important, as well. Give each child a flashlight or glow stick so that motorists and other pedestrians can see them. Each adult should also have a flashlight to help children find their way around large bushes, shrubs, etc. It is also important to monitor the children when approaching darkened porches and doorways. A good flashlight is invaluable in this application.
Finally, when you get home all items received must be inspected for tears in wrappers, pinholes and the like. Instruct the children not to consume any of their candy or other treats until they have been looked through at home. If you are at all uncertain about the safety of a given item, discard it. It is better to be safe than sorry, especially if the children were trick-or-treating in a somewhat unfamiliar area.
Halloween should be a fun and carefree holiday for children. A small group of responsible adults can ensure the safety of the children and allow them to have a fun time. Harmful incidents on or around Halloween are rare, and are often the stuff of urban legends. Taking a few precautions will provide a comfortable level of safety for all those involved.
