Some notes from me:
- Great to see Dead Man's Party back. That's the main reason I (and I think a lot of others) go to Fright Fest. I hope they bring back "Bring Me to Life" as the opening song!
- A lot of the stuff from previous years seems to be back. Terror trails, local music shows, lakefront graveyard, circus psycho, the Freak Show, the aWAKEning, Wheel of Fright, Zambora.
- Sounds like they may try giving the fountain area more going on again. It's been kind of empty since they got rid of a lot of the hearses.
- No hayride again this year it seems?
- Some new things for the kids during the day this year, which should be good.
- They changed the tiger show theme. No more marshmallow man! But this could be interesting too.
- I'm wondering how the Goulmaster's Ghosts Shows will differentiate themselves from Dead Man's Party
- I'm nervous about Hypnosteria. Last year when I went Denny More was not there, some other guy was, and man, it was definitely not as funny, at all.
I just looked at Denny More's website (www.dennymore.com (http://www.dennymore.com) for anyone who wants to hire him for a party! I can only imagine..) and it says "Denny More will not be appearing in the show on October 30, 31 & November 1. Filling in will be hypnotist Bill Pettek."
So it look slike I'm penciling that in for October 3rd when I go! And I need to make a list for the rest of this too, so much to do and see!
And I hope there are more ghouls this year. When I went last year it was pretty sparse, although I think I heard that improved towards the end?
-
WAY Too many shows this year. But the asylum sounds cool
-
LOL Well, that just saved me a lot of typing. It's the exact same info that came with the media info lol
-
Well, they have more zombies, right? I also want the chainsaws back.
-
Great to see Dead Man's Party back. That's the main reason I (and I think a lot of others) go to Fright Fest. I hope they bring back "Bring Me to Life" as the opening song!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!? THRILLER NEEDS TO BE THE OPENING SONG,WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!?!?!
-
No, not the Awakening, Dead Mans Party itself.
-
Why thriller? Why not Stairway to heaven?
-
Bring me to Life fit the idea of Dead Man's Party perfectly. A lot better than Rama Llama or whatever they have been using the past two years lol
-
Copyright issues i guess. If so, it seems less severe than the twisted sisters thing.
-
Bring me to Life > Rama Llama Dama Obama
-
It's good to see everyone is starting to hate the prez.
-
nobama!
-
Lets not get started on that please. Just stay on topic. This is not the place for it.
-
I need this schedule in a grid format HELP. Hmm
-
Here we go! So much better!
-
this looks NEW
Escape from the Asylum
You become the mental patient trying to break free from the insanity and evil down every hall. Location: Movietown, across from Showcase Theater.
Looks like it maybe inside the Chiller building ?
or is it that small building they used with a couple rooms ? on the same side as the theater ?
-
Sounds like they're taking the idea from the scream factory in philly. Except its probably free and there's no get your $30 back if you make it through all the floors.
-
That was there last year.
-
Really? I went there five times last year during fright fest and never heard about it.
-
Sounds like they're taking the idea from the scream factory in philly. Except its probably free and there's no get your $30 back if you make it through all the floors.
its not free.
-
How much is it then?
-
Well I think I will be taking 5 out of 6 GS into the Asylum!
And I agree they need to change the opening song of DEad Man's Party back.
-
I'm not sure how much it is, but yeah it was there last year. It's in Chiller's station.
-
Well it's good to see they're using it for something. I thought it was just a decoration after they removed the chiller.
-
To be more accurate, it's behind the Chiller station, lol. The Terror Trails costs $5.
