The Great Severed Head Thread of 2014

[Imaginique]

Would they rather that the park show the mutilations that the real Jack the Ripper left behind?

 

[Mad Ludwig]

I may be very late on this, or have bad sources, but I heard that the headless women were back. Don't take my word for it.

 

[Nicole]

I don't think the headless women ever left.

Heads without bodies are bad and remind us of ISIL; bodies without heads are creepy and remind us of Halloween.

Somehow I completely overlooked the checks and Xs the first time I looked at that and thought that everything pictured at the bottom was gone.

So I've been to three other local haunted attractions and they all had severed heads...

I just want everyone to know that I met somebody who was offended by our Headless Horseman prop that we have at Party City. No joke. I was checking them out and they asked if anybody was offended by the Headless Horseman, and I told the woman no. and her response was "Even with all the beheadings lately?" and then made a slightly disgusted face.

You're so nice and polite Applesauce, I wouldn't have ignored the comment.

 

[Applesauce]

I'm paid to be nice an polite at work. It also helps that I tend to have a very strong filter when it comes to people I don't know.

I'm a descendent of Ichabod Crane and I totes find it offensive.

This really should not be a big deal in my opinion, the park is there to entertain everyone. After the Boston marathon bombing my team had a suitcase that they wheeled maps around in and we were asked to discontinue using it. It was an inconvenience for us to stop using the case but some guests felt uncomfortable with a suitcase sitting near the map boxes. We understood and moved forward, the heads made people uncomfortable, they got rid of them now move forward.

^ Removing more and more objects and activities from daily life out of fear is not moving forward, it's moving backward.

 

[MrLaptop]

Fully agreed.

[BGWScream]

Alot of offended people here..

 

[CoasterBoy]

come to think of it, did they modify the headless prostitutes in England?

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Nope, and the headless horseman is still there...

 

[MAZ]

Apparently a body without a head is not as offensive as a head without a body.

 

[Party Rocker]

There is a head that Dr. Freakenstien decapitates with a saw in Fiends.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Oh my gosh, it'll never stop.
