It would not have hurt my feelings in the least if I had sparkly pink cleavage in my face all night during the event. Milk does the body good! Pass it along!! 
Fright Feast
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
I, for one, like the Victorian dresses and style. I am honestly on the fence about doing it, to be honest. It will probably be a spur of the moment thing if I do.
CK, was there any content that might not be for kids? The park said of FB that Blood Banquet would be better for the kids instead of this..
Okay, can the park please replace their marketing people please? Actually, I asked the woman who was taking reservations at the place and she said it wasn't kiddy.
Just wait until you listen to my audio recording. Then you can hopefully judge it a little better. Will be available shortly.
Party Rocker said:Thanks for those pictures, the show really seems like a let down, but I do enjoy the food they are serving, should I save the money or should I still go? I was really hoping for Naughty Nurses
If it's a good show you want, I would avoid that place like the plague. I am not generally one to get so upset about the show. I even was okay with Entwined V3.0. The show sets yet another new low for the park. Scott Gasparich was there, and he didn't even look like he enjoyed it, to be honest. The food was pretty good, but I don't think I would ever go through that again, when I can get a much better show and food at Blood Banquet.
Audio!! I think this works much better as a listen as opposed to a visual show. It is very reminiscent of old school live radio plays. I do love the organ music. Listen carefully at the end; you may hear a familiar voice.
Fright Feast - show
Grab it while you can. It won't be available forever. Enjoy!!

It started out really strong, and it was creepy to listen to... And then they started singing Dem Bones.
Oh no. Random love story why.
That ending was abrupt...

Thanks for the recording. I really wanted to like this, particularly because of the setting and aesthetic... but it I don't know, it's very short and doesn't have charm and the "plot" is so short with so much development that it seems random. None of these issues are the actors' faults either.I don't know, even is it wasn't Fiends, there is still a lot of wasted potential with the setting, especially for something more expensive than Blood Banquet.
Hoping to spare a few people from wasting their money, I tossed up a quick PSA on the matter.
A couple things I noticed, it seems like there might be a few different skits in the show. Also, listening to the recording, the audience interaction was a bit more invasive than Blood Banquet. I do agree, it would have been better if it was more like Blood Banquet.
Nurse Ratched is Rapunzel from Entwined and was in Night Beats last year. She was a really good singer. It's got to really suck to be this demoted...and replaced with New Yorkers! :shocked: Seriously.
I like the "old-fashioned" looking lab and costumes...but everything else. No. More of Scott's corniness. :dodgy:
We were standing outside the Castle waiting for Fiends to get out, and the patient runs through the crowd screaming, "I'm out! I'm out! I'm free! Whoooo!" That was cute! But still. No.

I have been thinking a lot about this show today. I have listened to it at least three times. I do not think it is a kiddie show; regardless of having a child come up on stage for a bit. A kid's show would be flashy with cute and endearing characters and have mostly cutesy, poppy, easy-to-sing songs ('Dem Bones MIGHT be the exception). This thing really has neither. It comes across as TRYING to be an old-fashioned serial radio drama. To me, it seems like it is attempting to be a sophisticated experience. But it is missing something... Sophistication. In reality it is walking a fine line between over-the-top silliness and deadpan. It is not funny. With some work and direction, I think it can be salvaged. It's not too late. Either give Fright Feast the sophistication it is just screaming for, or get those Naughty Nurses & Igor in there ASAP!! I really wanted to like this experience. I tend to base my recommendations to others on whether or not I myself would want to pay to see it again. Unless something changes for the better, the answer is definitely NO.
By the way, someone mentioned that the staff tried to sell this as a more adult-oriented experience than BB. Well, if my theory holds true about the show's intention, then I totally get that statement. Also, it occurred to me that back in the day of early silent b&w films, this made people faint...
"When audiences first saw The Phantom of the Opera, they were said to have screamed or fainted at the scene where Christine pulls the concealing mask away, revealing his skull-like features to the audience."
Now compare this to the image of the mental patient/kooky monster in Fright Feast. Which do you think that audience would find scarier?
