Howl-O-Scream 2013: Rumors Have a Way of Spreading

[The Tomato]

Catching up on these pages is a pain! At least yall are agreeing, France is gonna be a total CF. Excuse me, Demon Speedway. I think that the "passmembers bring a friend for free" for the first weekend has genius potential. It may convince a LOT of people to buy season passes. But of course, that would require that the event is decent. And the way things are shaping up, France is the set made by the creators of "MegaShark vs Giant Octopus." Soooo meh. Oh well, hopefully Busch can limp on another year and have a bumper crop when they open for CT and next March.

The fear of heights room in 13 totally freaks me out.

It does me too. Even after my husband will sit there and tap his foot on the glass to show me it's a mirror there is just something about it my brain won't except.

It's witchery I tell you.

Yes! I know perfectly well that it is really a floor, but I refuse to step outside the bridge. Tony told me that he was torn between holding my hand (which would have put him on the mirror) and staying on the "wood" (behind me) to keep me from freaking out.

I just run across it as quickly as I can.

My husband just gets behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and starts walking and pushing me across while I'm yelping like a scared animal and he is just laughing his butt off. Some part of my head just thinks "some sick person really did make a pit in here and people will fall".
Ugh! It's super frustrating.

I hope they don't use real snakes in 13 this year. I know they have snakes I just hope they don't choose to use them.
If I ever see a room full of alligators I would probably cry and climb on the nearest person's head. That is my ultimate fear, plus total darkness. :-/

Bugs! I scream and hide, when there are moths in my room.

 

[chickenking]

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr...

 

[Nicole]

Nope. Skeletons aren't as scarey as bugs.

 

[MusicIT]

Is "13" worth the wait?

 

[Owls R A Hoot]

Those pirate skeletons are cool looking. They are a nice touch.

 

[redsoxfan787]

HEY! A good looking decoration!

 

[Nicole]

At least yall are agreeing,

Epic fail! Must fix this now!

Yeah with those shirts hanging down low like that I would think that would be a clearance or sale rack.
If they do sell them for cheap we would totally pick one up too.
Hope they have a new shirt this year that shows off the pirates.

Pirate Baaaaaaaarrrrrrrr is taking shape finally.

Does anybody know if any of the houses will have a webcam this year?

HEY! A good looking decoration!

Too bad that pirate skeleton is absolutely ancient. The lack of even just one new quality prop at this year's event is flat-out shocking. Every prop I've seen that looks even slightly decent is something that has been around since the Anheuser Busch days.

 

[Hoopla]

Do they use live snakes

no, that would be too cool... and dangerous.

 

[Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser]

The park /used/ to have live animals (with handler) in the houses. This was during the first years of HoS, but maybe have dinner it more recently.

 

[Preston]

Yes like Curse Of Pompeii had a live snake when first debuted.
