Knotts Halloween Haunt ?

[wrs28220]

I'm hoping to see a section of High School Musical in the Hanging.

As far as who is to be hung, I think you are right on target elly. Definatly one of the teen flop-stars.

was it Mel Gibson or Tom Cruise..i know Tom was hung recenctly.....bah, i can't remember

Tom Cruise was in 2005..i totally forgot about that Hanging! <BR>

2005 was also the year they spoofed Disneyland's 50th Anniversary right down to the "Julie Andrews" narrator which was hilarious.

Seacrest was in 2004 and in 2003 it was Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

Such great memories. They had Arnold during the recal vote. Man, I wish I had video's of all the years hangings! I think they do sell them, or there on Youtube if you do some digging.

Whats been your fave maze of all the years? I already stated mine above.

My all time fave maze was Dominion of the Dead, followed by the non-Elvira version of Nightmares and The Underground.

There's been some great mazes, but I think my all time favorite was the 5th Dimension in Ghost Town. They had a V-shaped entrance with strobe lights going so fast you could hardly see where you were going as you entered. There was also one, can't remember the name, where they were playing Dead Man's Party, and a monster came over with a Twister spinner. My friend spun and it landed on right hand yellow, and the monster grabbed a severed hand and put it on a yellow dot.

My favorite mazes have been Red Beard's Revenge and Lore of the Vampire. I'm trying to remember the one from last year that was themed after a high school..the enthusiasm of the performers inside made it fun.

That was Hatchet High, and its been a maze for a few years. Before that, they had a nice Scream one in the same area that did a number on me!

Hatchet High has graduated after a four year run..but i'll miss it, espicially the prom queens. Here's a pic of my husband Dustin with Angel the Prom Queen...she was truely the best:

Wow, that Scream one sounds cool. I feel like I missed out on all these cool things before I started going. I didnt goto the Haunt for the first time until 2003!

The Scream room was part of Horrorwood Fright Festevil, you walked into a room designed to be a (very small!) movie theater and there were movie seats with the killer from Scream sitting in the seats here and there...but you coudln't tell which were dummies and which were real people..it was awesome.

That was my first maze. It was awesome because the crowd just naturally flowed into it, no lines or anything. I was walking through the Ghost Town with my friends and suddenly we were in a maze.

The Scream room was cool. They had the projector aimed right down the aisle so you could only make out silhouettes in the seats. The talent was actually standing on the seats when I went through, right above where you were scanning. They also had an entire area of the maze devoted to the 13 Ghosts remake. What were some of the other "theatres"?

[gibbage]

Yes! That was it! I only remembered the movie room! It was many years ago, and I cant remember any other part of the maze. I was looking at all the fake Scream killers, expecting one to be alive, and by the time I got to the end of the seats I said to myself "I guess none of them are?" and then one came to life!!! Got me REALLY good. Another good scare I had was at the end of Lore of the Vamp on my 1st run. You exit the maze, turn left thinking your done, then everything went dark. I turned around and here was this HUGE.... "thing" with big arms, about 8 feet tall lurching out at me!!! Great effect! Now when I take fresh meat, I always have that guy get them and it works every time.

the "thing" is the Vampire Wraith, and its a great scare because you don't expect it and usually can't see him coming form the dark recesses in which he hides

[sumostar]

[gibbage]

Isent that the one they set up in the arcade?
