One of those events over the last few years has ventured away from the United States and launched a new breed of Haunting in Canada. The Canadian Haunted Attraction Conference has been growing with each year the event has taken place and it continues in 2012. The event organizer Matthew Flagler has kept it moving forward, and keeps it educational, informational and brings Haunted Attractions to the folks up north from us in Canada.

Once again in 2012, Rotting Flesh Radio will be the exclusive Haunt Industry Podcast Sponsor of the Tradeshow and we are looking forward to meeting more of you Deadites onver the border in April. Now moving on to the contest.

Grimm Fairy Tale #2: Halloween 2010 (Review)

by: RFR Casket Crew Denise

The second Grimm Halloween special arrives with a brand new original vampire story. when four vampire obsessed teens head out for a night on the town in search of the real thing. They quickly discover they have bitten off much more than they can chew. The group finds themselves face to face with an actual clan of real vampires who are intent on teaching the wannabe teens a horrifying lesson.

Now the way I understand it, most of you Deadites are not particular fans of Twilight. I know most if not all the crew finds Twilight a laughable offense – sparkling vampires. But nevertheless, Grimm’s Halloween issue ventures into that area. In fact, this issue, I think, mocks Twilight.

There is one particular scene I like. Our vampire obsessed teens arrive at a party covered in glitter. When they enter the party, all the guest stop and gawk at them. While this is a classic cliché, I got a good chuckle.

Once again the people at Grimm’s Fairy Tales have delivered an entertaining and twisted tale of Halloween and vampires.

This issue was written by Joe Brusha, Raven Gregory and Ralph Tedesco. The art was done by Marcio Abreu, Geldson Barreto and Alisson Rodrigues. It was published by Zenescope.

Disneyland Paris brings the fear at TERRORIFIC NIGHT 2011!

Each year at the Walt Disney World Resort, they hold Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. It is a family friendly event for kids of all ages, to romp with Mickey and pals, do some trick or treating, meet some villains and more. Now in contrast to that, no one can say Disney doesn’t have a Dark Side because once you hit that jet and fly on over to Disneyland Paris you get a little more Halloween Horror Nights in feel with the Disney Hollywood Studios TERRORIFIC NIGHT!

Now Terrorific night began as a one time event back in 2008 and the event was so popular it returned last Haunt Season in 2010 with Terrorific Night 2. And once again the event continues to be so popular that coming back for 2011 is the TERRORIFIC NIGHT 2011 where the Walt Disney Hollywood Studios in Disneyland Paris will fill the streets with ‘scare actors’, Halloween Shows, PArades, Music, and more for two nights this October 29 and 30th.

Not much has been released other than the poster teaser art that seems to have jumped on the Walking Dead, Zombie feel. But if it is true to last year it will give those looking for an amped up Disney-Scare a good time.

The event in 2010 was described by the Disney Company as “Prepare to face the darkest night at the Walt Disney Studios Park. Attractions are open exclusively for clients with gruesome creatures, monstrous characters and other-worldly artists haunting the abandoned park.”

Now us here at Rotting Flesh Radio think this is a great contrast to the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party here in the United States. Many haunters and halloween enthusiasts head over to the Bush Gardens Howl-O-Scream event or Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights for those dead on, hardcore scares, but then wrap up with a friendly Mickey. So bringing this event back to Hollywood Studios at Disneyland Paris is going to once again bring those who love Disney and Halloween some satisfaction.

To get a feel of the event, last year Disney released a teaser video where a park guest was trapped inside the theme park. Check it out:

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO

The event also has a Terror Tram ride much like that of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights and many scares, haunts and fun. The event will run all night from around early park closing to 1am. These times are estimated as of this time though.

If you would like to see some of the scare fun from the 2010 event, there is a pretty sweet photo gallery at: www.PhotoMagiques.com. We will keep you posted as the event develops and possible get one of the RFR Casket Crew over seas to cover it for you Deadites. So until then, all you Disney, Halloween, Horror and Haunt Fans can now feel all your favorite things are one. Sit Back, Relax and rot Away…
