Howl-O-Scream 2014

Oh how I wish the Canadium Paladium could return underneath Le Scoot in a redesigned version of my favorite stage in the park and where most of my childhood show memories took place...
Back on topic but could we expect anything for WW in the Eagles Nest area?

Probably not, Infract there might be nothing in that area.

The Palladium was replaced by the Catapult when it moved over there. I personally like the change since the only shows playing there were generic country music revues you can find at just about every other theme park in the country.

The HOS shows were amazing though.

^They were, but Monster Stomp was only really good enough to watch in the dark. During the hours before dark, nothing really had the same effect. the Skeletons didn't look good, and the lighting was pretty awful, since it had to compete with the sun.

Has anybody else thought of the fact that Scott hasn't done a show like Monster Stomp yet? All of his shows (including KK) have some sort of plot or common theme to bring them together. Monster Stomp really isn't that at all.

Well, as one of the apparent minority who does, I enjoy country music.

That's really not fair to say....  Dollar Tree products are the pinnacle or quality.

Dollar Tree does have some great black stringy cloth for Halloween that BGW can use.

I really hope those terrible comedians aren't back this year. They repeat the same Jersey Shore joke every two minutes and are as funny as Two and a Half Men. Though, that seems to be the level of humor acceptable by ent these days.

New this year "It's said that strange things start happening whenever you hear the haunting melody. Rumor has it the song curses its listeners. Survive a night of paranormal horrors at Howl-O-Scream and you may just lift it."

So does this mean that there may be scares in non terrortories???

My beloved Drumberjacks used to be there too, until they got booted out onto the "streets".

At this point, I'm sure it's just fancy marketing talk. Although, that would be an amazing concept.

Actually, if it were just marketing talk, it would be only in one place never repeated. The fact I've seen it in multiple places leads me to believe there might just be something about them playing the music via the park's PA system.

Even if it is they just play it at 6PM to start the event, that is something, but I feel there may be more surprises.

That would be incredible... I surely do hope so. These past couple of years haven't been the scariest.. Maybe is some places but not like when they had people everywhere a few years back.

This is exactly the kind of thing that I have been wanting the park to do for years. Every year each designated scare zone (or whatever you want to call it), is actually above Tampa in quality as far as atmosphere. They are just lacking that scares to go with it. I love the idea of the roaming hordes, however those are only good if you combine them with designated areas where people can depend on being scared. Many theme parks have done trial and error tests based around this, but hardly any of them ever seem to learn anything from those tests. BGW is not alone. As for Wendigo Woods, if this ends up being half baked it could end up very bad. When they say "more psychological than physical horror", that worries me. They need all the actors they can get.

New blog post about Wendingo Woods!

The use of the generic "Security Team" is a good sign as far as that potential issue.

BGW Facebook page just put this out!

There are many variations of the Wendigo creature online.  The one below is my favorite.
