Kreepfest Halloweekends Trip
Saturday, September 25, 2010

Join midwestern haunt-heads and the Festers of Kreep at our annual Worlds of Fun Halloweekends Trip on the last Saturday in September. A chance to take one last plunge into the fun and fright before October comes and our own haunts demand our undivided attention.

The morning brings rides and fun. Take the kids to Camp Snoopy where Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the Peanuts gang gather to await the Great Pumpkin. Visit Hexaba's Hogwash for spooky stories. Stop by The House on Boo Hill, a chilling haunt just right for the little goblin in your life. Looking for more grown-up fun? You can visit Witch Doctor's Revenge or Digger's Used Coffin Lot, see Skullduggery - a mix of pirates and magic you'll never forget. Or perhaps slip off to view the zombie music stylings of the kids of Meat Cleaver High as they bring you the moldiest of oldies. Not a show person? How about the rides? From high thrill roller coasters like Mamba and Prowler to the thrill of Fury of the Nile or Spinning Dragons.

When the sun descends though, the cheery face melts away as the Overlord calls forth his minions to spread their darkness throughout the park. Some will wander without aim, seeking new blood where they can find it. Others will return to their homes. Nine haunts that dare you to survive them.

~Bloodshed - A slaughterhouse where they're dying to meat you!
~Dominion of Doom - A gothic cemetary whose newly woken residents are restless indeed.
~Outlaws Revenge - The ghosts of Boot Hill Cemetary rise to deal with the interlopers who would desicrate their resting place.
~Asylum Island - Where if you're crazy enough to venture in, you're far too insane to ever be let out again.
~Lore of the Vampire - Dracula and his brides have slumbered a century. Now they wake with a hunger unrivaled. Venture underground to Club Blood where human victims are drained of their life to nourish the children of the night.
~Master McCarthy's Doll Factory ~ A madman has turned his victims into living dolls for his twisted enjoyment. Will you find your way out safely or wind up another toy on his shelf?
~FrightZone - Dare you enter this shadowy no-man's land where the souls of the damned are trapped forever in the mists of time?
~CarnEvil - Cadever craving clowns and crazy carnies beckon you to dare your soul. Twisted games await if you're brave enough to step up.
~Corn Stalkers - They say the farmhands went mad and made a thousand scarecrows to keep away trespassers. But that was a long time ago. Who can say now what is wandering between the rows?

See... that's the same day as the media party, which we've gone to EVERY year for the last four years... but not this year. -_- Husband's going to be out of town. I'm considering dragging my mother, just because I don't want to miss it.

You should! Wasn't your mom with us that year we went on the lights-on tour?

Hallow and OH MAN!! THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOOO MUCH FUN!! I am throwing a baby shower this Saturday for a good friend ....Waaaaaaa! or me and the MysterE would sooo be there! Oh well - you better take lots of pics to post for us sad souls who can't make it... BOO!

Actually, I had the weekends mixed up. >< I did take my mother to the media party last weekend, only to get rained out by the surprise microburst and park evacuations.

THIS weekend, we will be there Saturday with some friends, but not until evening. We have season passes and they don't, so we're waiting for the twilight discount.

Gotta love that Missouri weather!

Well... for those of you who missed it, it dawned a rather nice day, cloudy, cool... just what you'd want in a Halloweeny day out at the theme park. We collected our admission +meal tickets and our all-you-can-drink wristbands, heading into the park.

The park bedecked in Buckies, spiderwebs, witches and ghouls, we made our way around, riding rides, seeing shows, having fun.

And then.. the rain began. Cold, heavy drops fell hard and fast and soaked us to the skin. We were SO cold!! Haunters don't bow to adversity though! Those who work there were out in it too. Walking around in their costumes, milling about and waiting for the Overlord to call them to service.

The rain seemed to obey him as well, for as soon as he made his appearance, the rain stopped for the night and the dark hours at the park were dark, cold and dank (making the fog cling and stay lower which was great), which was perfection in my book.

We didn't leave until 1 am, where we went to our car and broke out the picnic we'd packed for the trip home. Exhausted, we spent the whole way home recounting our favorite bits of the night.

-How someone got offered a job application because the Overlord liked the way they laugh-

-How Metalhead, Mikil and EvilDuck managed to get so lost in the fog they missed the entrance to the Prowler not once, not twice but THREE times in a row!-

-How Squeakerbone instructed the teens of Meat Cleaver High just how you do the Time Warp correctly-

- Eviliz sitting around with Squearkerbone's sweatshirt on her head like some kind of crazed Swami while trying to avoid the patter of the rain -

- Not to mention passing out Kreepfest cards willy-nilly and spreading the Gospel of Home-Haunting!


Next year, we're planning a 2 day Fri-Sat trip with a cabin rental at the park so mark your calendars for September 30 and October 1st of 2011!!

and, I did promise pictures.

We made it, but not until after the rain, so we missed the Overlord ... for the second time this year. LOL. We left around 11:30 however; our friends were freezing to death and this almost-seven-months pregnant mama was DEAD tired. We only made it through Lore of the Vampire, Doll Factory and Cornstalkers. Well, and the Fright Zone.

I kept trying to spot some of you guys, but I was also spending a lot of time watching my feet to make sure I didn't fall on my ass on the wet asphalt. ><

I really liked Cornstalkers! The signage was very Pumpkinrot, I thought, and I loved the facades they'd built for it. And really, considering the weather, the paths weren't that muddy.

I've read a lot of stuff about how pregnant women shouldn't go to haunted houses because it'll cause preterm labor, the fog isn't good to breathe... blah, blah, blah. My theory is that while I wouldn't go a haunt like Edge of Hell this year because of the slide/physical elements... any other haunts are fair game. I suppose if they really scared you, then sure, avoid.

However, for a haunter... *evil grin*
