I enjoyed running this one, (I had the benefit of all those who had run/played it before me).

Yes. this is one tough session, it can be a bit long, but your players will respect you afterwards. Experienced players will help gameplay in some aspects, But there is a good hook to be there (I would have thought a little background on the village closest to the Manor might have been a good idea as well) and really if you are careful you may not kill off a party of newcomers to the game, again knowing your pc's and the enemies they are to fight can really help here.

The Manor gives you enough room to be clever and be appropriately devilish. There are any number of ways the PC's can go about their tasks so it suits any sort of build or group. As a GM really do your preparation for this one; know the skills of your NPC's and make sure you have the map sorted out.

Overall a really good challenge for experienced players coming into PFS from 3.5 - go easy on the new guys.

This adventure is not for novices. It's not for Level 1 PCs, who will most definitely get killed.
It's not for novice DMs who can't evoke a creepy atmosphere.
It's not for novice players, who will get slaughtered.
It's long for a scenario.

BUT: It's as close to a mini-sandbox as a scenario can possibly get and, if treated right, one can have a total blast, including the opportunity for the PCs to create an ambush.
The flavor is also interesting.

I liked this one.

The Scooby-Doo of Pathfinder Society, it all flows smoothly until you get to roll the dice and fight. This scenario has some of the worst editing done in the history of, well, organized gaming. Remember, this has no Tier 1-2. It's just typoed, I think they meant it to be 3-4.

Whilst the combats are horrendous, the rest of the scenario is alright, although there's very little of it. Suffering from the same problem Mists of Mwangi does, the adventure location isn't very inspiring. Some old manor in the middle of nowhere, whoo.

This scenario illustrates what actually happens to meddling teenagers on the world of Golarion. An alternate title could be “Curiosity Kills More Than Cats”. This scenario would have been better served by a higher page count limit and more maps. GMs need to be well-prepared to run this scenario and have players make rolls in advance to prevent the inevitable meta-gaming. It also gives away the plot too quickly for my liking, especially when players are already expecting it walking in the door. The mystery unravels precipitously, but it’s only to make room for some good ole fashioned hack-n-slash. This is not a nice adventure for 1st level PCs. Stick with Silent Tide or Frozen Fingers if you have a table of shiny new Pathfinders. The encounters strike fast and are highly lethal. Also some faction orders place PCs in conflict, so GMs should consider the maturity of the players & adjust the orders appropriately. Besides my griping, my players had a good time and will never forget Dralkard Manor.

Please keep in mind that I'm a critic, not a cheerleader and three stars should not deter anyone from playing this scenario. Everyone enjoyed themselves, but as a GM I would like more pages and maps.
