			<description><![CDATA[Hey there, just wondering if any of you have visited ScreamTown this season (2009) and if you had any feedback for us.  What you liked, what you didn't like, what your favorite attraction was, favorite scares/monsters...anything you wish to bring up.  The more info the better ;)

Also, I'd like to take a poll and have you rank your favorite attraction at ScreamTown

1. Oak Blood Forest
2. Rabbid Alley
3. Klown House
4. Terror in the Corn
5. Hillbilly motel

Thanks!

			<description><![CDATA[We decided to go to the Headless Horseman Haunted Hayride tonite, to kind of make up for a very mild Halloween due to weather....
What an awesome time!
It lives up to its rep in a major way! 
One amazing attraction after another, at one point it had me seriously questioning what was real and what was a prop!
I can't believe that I live 20 mins away and have never been to it.. from now on it will be a yearly part of Halloween!]]></description>

			<title>Calling all CHI/NW Suburban Haunters</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Chicago/NW suburban folks,
I just wanted to invite you to a neighborhood haunt-crawl charity event benefitting a community food pantry in Elk Grove Village.  Here's how it works: you visit participating houses between 2-3pm on Halloween, and donate a few food items in exchange for raffle tickets.  The more you haunt and donate, the more chances to win--you get the idea.
We've got a $400 cash prize as well as many gift certificates, etc.  You can find addresses and a map of 9 participating houses along with more info at Haunt Against Hunger (http://www.hauntegv.org).
This is a project that I've been working on along with fellow Forum member Spirit In The Night, and we greatly appreciate any and all support!
Thanks, Haunty McSpooks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Warning! I have gone every year since 1994. Went this year and obviously very few ghouls were employed to haunt the inside trail and the hay ride. Worst it has ever been. Even the props seemed to be at a minimum. Every year they owners keep cutting back on the production of this event and also their Phantom's Feast on the Minnesota Renaissance Festival grounds. For the Phantom's Feast, the exact same dinner performance was done this year as was done last year. I know it's not the performers fault...but somebody controlling the purse strings must have made the decision to cut back on all fronts. 

Of course the price is still the same to get in. Word of mouth needs to get out of poor haunt productions from businesses who are competing for our hard earned and limited income. You want my money...you need to wow me.

Valley Fair consistently puts on a great production of their four trails and their other outdoor walk ways. Not to mention you get the rides.

I would love to go to Buck Hill's new haunt this year. It looks like they put a lot of effort into the grounds, props, and actors. 

Simply put, save your money and do not go to Trail of Terror. If they are not willing to give you a good production they do not deserve your money.]]></description>
