Haunted Woods was great!

We visited the Haunted Woods in Carlisle tonight, and were pleasantly surprised at their scaring techniques. I call them “distraction scares.”

This 1/4 mile walk though the woods is a bit different. They try to fool you at every scene, and it pretty much made us jump at almost all of them. As soon as we thought we figured out what they were going to do next, we were wrong. They have some VERY fun hiding spots.

They try to limit groups to around four people, and allow ample spacing between groups. You feel like you are all alone in the woods except for the screams you hear from other groups in front of you. It is very nicely done, and I can’t wait to go back.

Zombie Hollow video interview

10/20/2023 Update: I will be re-uploading this video soon. The last time I made one of these videos, I was using my 2012 model MacBook. This one was done on a different machine, and I realize now I did not have the proper font installed for my titles. The overlay text I normally use also does not work for vertical videos (it shows up off the screen and cannot be moved). I need to figure out how to make that work. Or, just stop shooting vertical video 😉

Here is a video interview with Lew Jordan of Zombie Hollow in Winterset, Iowa. It was recorded on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. I’d like to send big thank you to Lew and his crew for their hospitality.

Side Note: I believe this is the first video interview I have done since 2017, so I am a bit rusty. It is also the first time I have recorded and edited vertical video. Apologies to those of you who like to view video the way it was meant to be seen… 😉

Follow my new-ish YouTube channel for other videos, which will eventually include all my old interview videos as I find them and get them uploaded.

Slaughterhouse hours updated

I did not have the hours for Slaughterhouse listed on the site, but did put them in the calendar. I was using the ticket sale site and guessing at the hours, but they were wrong. The index and calendar should now be updated for the rest of the month:

Thursdays and Sundays, 7pm to 10pm.

Fridays and Saturdays, 7pm to Midnight.

Rock on!
