Thread: Haunted House Plans?

Tweet

I can't believe there's not a special forum for the awesome haunted houses people attend each year local to them. Or not so local!

This year we're attending the big Spooky World up in NH for the first time. We promised ourselves after seeing it rated as one of the top 10 on the Travel Channel we'd "hit it up" this year. Very much looking forward to it.

What are your haunted house plans for October, 2010?

Akron, OH? The Laboratory "house" used to be really cool.

I want to go to The Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted Houses in Ulster, NY, but I only have two opportunities: opening (this weekend) and closing (November) weekend. I only go to haunted houses with my brother and he is on a strange rotating work schedule that precludes him from any October festivities this year.

Otherwise, I'll for sure get to Forest of Fear in Tuxedo, NY. That one's a hoot and all my students go there. It drums up the business for the big night when they find out I decorate. And it's a good haunted house: a bit heavy on the intensity, but well done.

Knott's Scary Farm event for me, and Pirates of Emerson for sure...may sneak in a few others

I beyond recommend this place- I've gone every year for the past 12 or so years (many times 2-3 times a season!). I'm planning my trip down there now. I used to live a very short distance from it, but moving hasn't stopped me from taking my annual trip!

It's the incredible atmosphere that keeps me coming back for more. From the moment I hear the generators running and see the big "Caution! Hayrides Ahead!" sign I get so excited. The smell, the chill in the air, the leaves falling...completely worth it.

It has gotten incredibly popular over the years, which is a bit of a disappointment to me (I wish it were still my little secret!) because of the lines, but they manage it incredibly well and you'll always leave smiling.

We've done the Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion lights on tour a couple of times now, which is perfect for showing young children how it is all make believe. My wife won't go to a regular haunted house. My oldest son says he is ready to try a real haunted house experience this year, so I am trying to figure out which one in the area to try with him.

Here's my whirlwind haunted house tour this year. Mind you this is all while I'm trying to run my own haunted house toward the end of October, so it will make for some fun weekday nights.

Netherworld Haunted House (Atlanta, Georgia)
Busch Garden's Howl-O-Scream (Tampa, Florida)
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (Orlando, Florida)
Dixieland's Halloweve (Fayetteville, Georgia)
Terror in the Square (Lawrenceville, Georgia)
Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse (Atlanta, Georgia)

And then the best one of them all...mine
The Haunted Theatre on Hill Street (Griffin, Georgia)
