This is easily one of my favorite Found Footage horror movies. The idea of traveling across the U.S. to document Halloween-themed haunted house attractions (Or Haunts, as they're called), searching for the most extreme one they can possibly find, lends itself to the Found Footage format really easily and really well. Even when nothing scary is going on the movie gives us plenty of fun visuals by bringing us along inside these various Haunted House attractions, and giving us interviews with those who work for them that, in all honesty, makes these portions of the movie almost more interesting for me than the actual horror parts of the movie, plus these characters are fun and all have great individual personalities that make it easy to watch them. Add to that some truly terrifying and tense edge-of-your-seat moments and scenes throughout, both in terms of unexpected jump scares as well as unnerving suspense, plus creepy-as-hell visuals with all those damn freaky clown masks and the way the people under them move their bodies and interact with the main characters.

This movie has been added to the annual Halloween time Watch list, and it's always a joy to revisit. My only issue is with the ending, it's horribly anti-climatic and a total weak let down when you find out what actually happens to these characters compared to what you're thinking will happen to them based off discussions and situations during the movie. Other than the ending though, this is easily one of my top all-time favorite Found Footage horror flicks.
