I was at the park yesterday, and noticed the skeleton, now headless, driver of the hearse is in really bad shape. No head, missing/broken hands, faded and ripped suit. I get it, things cost money but, replacing the suit can't be that much.

I haven't been to Howl-O-Scream in any years. Do they still have the duo that was in Ripper Row that tells alot of jokes and messes with eachother?

Yes they do

What duo was that?

 

[Beaumont]

I am happy to know that Gorgon Gardens is returning this year. It is rare to have a haunted attraction inspired by Greek/Roman mythology.

 

[MrBradferd]

What duo was that?

I believe it was a shorter bald chuckier gentleman, and a lady and they would bicker at eachother and joke on eachother. Vague memory of it

 

[Beaumont]

I legit thought that Ripper Row would not be returning this year due to complaints from modern audiences about using real historical serial killers in modern media for spooky scary entertainment. It happened with that Dahmer show made by Netflix.

 

[Zachary]

To be fair, Jack the Ripper and Dahmer are VERY different. The distance time-wise alone makes the palatability wildly disparate.

Could we make new threads for each of the haunted houses/mazes in the seasonal attractions list. This way we can keep threads specific to each maze

 

[Zachary]

Existing houses have them, new houses will get them when they open.

What if I make a thread for the new houses the day before they open? Hm? What's it gonna be like when you see someone else's name on that banner? Bet it's gonna eat at you.

 

[Beaumont]

The season of Howl-O-Scream is almost here.

 

[Coolguy15]

I’m going to be there on the first day. Maybe I’ll see some of y’all!

I will be on the lookout for any new videos on YouTube.

For the record, neither Nicole nor I will be at Howl-O-Scream until Sunday. We are down in Florida for HHN. We'll provide some coverage of Williamsburg's HOS on Sunday though.

This is going to be the most unprepared Howl-O-Scream opening ever. Not all haunted houses will be open this weekend because they are not ready.

Source? Not doubting you, just curious.

Scare actors. They have been told their house will not be opening this weekend

Very interesting

Honestly it looks like this whole year's gonna be disappointing for HOS. I don't have my hopes up, but it really feels rushed.
