The Scare Factor: 
9.28
Our group can truly see why this attraction is one of the best. With a true story, a wonderful group of actors and a touch of all the right elements, it's well worth the time and money to come out and see it. We would highly recommend this attraction to any person or group. Not only will give you a scare, but a history lesson as well.
Cast:

On an average night, there are between 42-45 volunteer actors placed throughout this haunt with a passion to frighten you. These are some of the best actors we’ve seen. Perfectly placed, they do a flawless job and will give everyone in your group a little scare.
Costuming:
9
This attraction has some of the best costuming and make up you will find in Cincinnati. You would think a schoolhouse theme would not need a lot of costuming, but guess again. This haunt takes all the characters to the next level and beyond. With 5 make up artists each and every night, you will see detailed masterpieces and be shocked at what you thought wasn’t real.

They do a wonderful job at keeping customers happy and answering questions quickly and accurately. There are always numerous staff members roaming around to help you with anything you need. Once inside there are still plenty of staff members to help you if you get lost or too scared. This attraction also has some of the best safety plans for all types of emergencies that may occur.
Atmosphere:
9.5
One of the best things about The Dent Schoolhouse is that the attraction is actually the same place where the true story occurred. So, not only is it renovated and made haunted with actors and effects, but its also has a creepy factor from the murders that actually took place there. Each section is a part of the school building with effects and monsters.
Special Effects: 
8.5
The Dent Schoolhouse always has some of the best effects. They have small special effects that you may never notice, but make the scene worthwhile. They continue every year to add special and big effects to frighten you. This year is no different with new lighting effects, a longer tour, and huge tech toys, they add more fright than ever before.

Fright Effect:

This is a unique attraction based on a true story, which gives you an added boost of fright. Not only will the effects, actors, and atmosphere get to you, but the story will give you the shivers. Knowing there are strange, real life things going on in the building is an added bonus for any great haunted attraction.
