Ripleys Haunted Adventure Gatlinburg 2013

Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Ripleys Haunted Adventure draws huge crowds in the month of October as hordes of the living come to get scared by hordes of the undead. Just inside the entrance to the haunted house is an excellent prop, the Headless Horseman. Great addition to the haunt as people wait in line to enter. 
A unique entrance to the haunt. You pile into a steel cage and the cage slowly rises to the top. From there you are met by a sinister being and directed to the entrance of the haunt.  The haunt itself was very well thought out and put together. There were plenty of "Live" action and actors inside to interact with the group.  You went through as a group, usually 5-7 people per group. It is pitch dark in some area's but it is easy to navigate.   Tip: They will try to sell you a fiber optic light to help you get through the haunt. When you need it the most, you are instructed to turn it off inside the haunt.   One thing missing this year from years past. The "Monster Parade." On Fridays and Saturdays in October, at 6:17 pm, the monsters in all their costumes would meander up the Parkway from the Star Car Museum to Ripleys and interact with the patrons waiting to get in or standing around watching Stumpy scare people walking by. The parade is no more. All in all, well worth the money.

When Zombies Attack Video

Zombies are relentless for your flesh. Zombies will not stop, will not waver, or detour from their quest to taste your flesh. The only way to stop zombies is to destroy their brain. Guns are an excellent way to stop the zombie horde.

Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth In A Bikini

Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth Sightings
Hotel Conneaut Ghost Elizabeth 
The Grassy Knoll Institute paranormal investigators returned once again to Hotel Conneaut to document evidence that the elusive Matron of the Manor, Ghost Elizabeth, is still roaming the hallways after her tragic death in 1943.

Last evening we filmed several hours on the third floor in total darkness with nothing registering on our equipment. Perhaps Ghost Elizabeth was now at peace.

We were about to call it an evening when the room began to slowly glow. The light slowly lit the surrounding area illuminating the hallway and to our amazement a figure of a woman began to materialize right before our eyes. We snapped pictures quickly but in a matter of seconds Elizabeth with gone.

Again, strong proof that Hotel Conneaut is haunted by the Ghost of Bride Elizabeth.

Happy Halloween

Youngstown Ohio Zombie Crawl 2013


Last night a horde of Zombies gathered in Youngstown, Ohio at the B&O Station located at the bottom of the "Mr. Peanut" bridge. The Youngstown police department stormed the area in hopes to contain the horde. At first the police were able to contain the zombies but there were just to many of them. With police sirens blaring, the zombie horde broke the police lines and began slowly crawling up the bridge and descended upon the helpless city. This is the only known video of the walking dead horde.

Proper Trick Or Treat Etiquette

Proper Trick Or Treat Etiquette
Proper Trick Or Treat Etiquette
I was an 8 year old kid in the golden age of Halloween (Circa 1968) when trick or treating kids made off with quite a haul of candy. It was a time when the candy bars were full size. (They would now be considered jumbo size in today's standards)
A time when almost every single house in the neighborhood had their porch lights on passing out candy to the kids.
A time when kids had to go home with their Halloween bags so full just to reload and go hit more streets and houses for candy.
A time when trick or treating hours were 6pm to 10pm. (Totally unheard of in this day and age)
A time when parents would release their children into the cool night air and rarely would you see adults patrolling the sidewalks of each street block.
A time when later that evening when glowing pumpkins were snatched from front porches and smashed in the streets.
A time when toilet paper decorated neighbors tree's. (Sometimes the one's who had the audacity to actually hand out apples)
And a time when children and parents who passed out the candy adhered to the proper trick or treating etiquette.

Just what is the proper Halloween trick or treat etiquette? It was very simple. Young kids, 13 years old and younger, dressed in an actual Halloween costume, would approach a house with the porch light on. The owners of the house would be in the ready to pass out candy. When the kid came up on the porch he or she would scream out, "TRICK OR TREAT!" At this point, the adults would pass out the loot to the kids. And on to the next house.

Modern Day Trick Or Treat Etiquette
Modern Day Trick Or Treat Etiquette
In the modern time of Halloween (3rd Millennium and beyond) the negotiating of trick or treating has become a lost art.

Today, kids barely get enough candy to set off a diabetic coma.
Today, candy bars are mini, smaller than bite size.
Today, almost every single house in the neighborhood have their porch lights off not passing out candy to the kids.
Today, kids equipped with a small bag of plastic pumpkin can go the entire evening and never have to go home and reload.
Today, trick or treating hours if they are lucky are 5pm to 7pm.
Today, parents patrol the streets keeping an eye on their children every step of the way.
Today, we have to throw our pumpkins in the trash as the kids now lost the art of pumpkin smashing.
Today, toilet paper decorated neighbors tree's is a very rare occurrence.

Today, the proper Halloween trick or treat etiquette is right out the window. Kids, and I use that word lightly, some are college age begging for candy. Many kids don't wear Halloween costumes anymore. Many kids walk up the driveway, stop, and stare at you. They don't open their bag, say trick or treat, not a single sound. They just stare at you. I play along asking them why they are here. They don't have an answer. The parents don't even help the kids out. I make the kids wait until they say something.

And sometimes, adults want candy. They walk up the drive and ask what I got for candy. I tell them to go to the store.

Happy Halloween

Interactive Haunted House Video


Inside the Dark Zone haunt, there was a booth with an interactive haunted house. Encased in a dark booth lit by black light, neon colored painted ghosts and goblins laid in waiting. Your only defense against the demons was a gun. Each time you hit a target... Well have a look see at the video.

Catholic School Girl Uniform For Halloween

Sexiest Catholic School Girl Uniform 2013
Sexiest Catholic School Girl Uniform 2013
Remember back when kids dressed up as their favorite monster, Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, the devil, or Cinderella, or a Princess. Nowadays, you have to look really hard to find these costumes as kids now opt for a modern more adult view on Halloween costumes.

Case in point:
What would Halloween be without a sexy Catholic school girl uniform? Take a look around this halloween, you will see many of the school girl and very few if any of the others.

Sidenote: Someone ought to create a Miley cyrus tongue costume. It would be a big hit.

Happy Halloween
