Transworld “NO SHOW SPECIAL” from Dark Imaginings

Were you one of the Haunters at Transworld, or maybe didn’t get a chance to attend? Well Dark Imaginings wasn’t able to attend as well so now they are passing on a deal for haunters to take part in.

“We here at Dark Imaginings have got some bad news and we’ve got some good
news.

The bad news is that we didn’t attend the Transworld Haunt Show this
year, which makes us very sad. The good news, however, is that we are pleased to announce our first-ever “NO SHOW” SPECIAL!

What is a “No Show” Special and why are we doing it? That’s easy. It is not always possible for us to attend every show that we would like due to various circumstances, travel costs, or other obligations. However, we
don’t want our loyal customers and new friends to miss out on our fantastic show discounts, either. While we will certainly miss seeing your ghoulish grins and smiling faces in person, we are very excited to be able to bring these savings to you.

But hurry, these “No Show” Specials will expire on March 31, 2012!!!

This past year at the annual tradeshow, they showcased some new monsters that will be sure to terrify haunters this season. Jordu is one of Ed’s best workman and is best known in hollywood for his work on Cameron’s Avatar.

This limited season series on the Travel Channel, produced by Brian Leonard, will focus on Distortion’s Animatronics, Monsters and leading the way in the Haunted Attraction Industry for over 30 years. We will see how they are made, the process, and the final results in the scares haunts love to dish out using their products.

Every year the Transworld event brings some of the top vendors, seminars, haunt tours and more to the table. This is the event where many haunters will attend only this tradeshow. And it is just that, a tradeshow. One thing Transworld is, is a buyers show. This is the place where many vendors will debut all-new products for the season, haunters and get fresh ideas, buy in bulk and most vendors gain 65% of their annual sales.

There will be more information coming in the upcoming weeks and once again Rotting Flesh Radio is a sponsor and will be vending on the tradeshow floor.

Netherworld’s New Haunt for 2011, THE NIGHTMARES

With the Haunt Season fast approaching, many haunts are full in motion with this year’s theme, style and construction. Rotting Flesh Radio is planning our haunt tours and many events like to overhaul the whole haunt in getting ready. Others just change a room or two. But Netherworld figured, it is our 15th Year, Let’s just add a New Themed Event. And so All-New for 2011 is THE NIGHTMARES!

The Nightmare is an event with such a backstory you will be thrust into horror, terror and possibly even wet yourself.

“Earths last defenders were being slaughtered. With the eternal darkness of the Blood Night wrapping the world in a fetid mist, gargoyle swarms and other foul monsters continued the hunting and subjugation of the human race. As hordes of evil creatures emerged from the NETHERWORLD, the Illuminati Warriors who opposed them fell swiftly in battle to the savage beasts. Then the most deadly blow of all was struck . With the tolling of ominous bells came the rulers of the NETHERWORLD, the dread NIGHTMARE KINGS! These powerful THINGS seemed at first glance to be little more than gaunt, ancient, fanged and taloned ghouls wrapped in burial shrouds. But they possessed dark powers to warp reality, to change their very forms and summon the living nightmares of any who would dare confront them.

Commanding armies of massive war beasts, these specters glided like noxious gray shadows over the landscape, hunting human survivors and feasting on their deepest fears before consuming their souls.

The Prophet had foreseen all of this and had told the great master of the Illuminati, the EYE. Together they had prepared a plan to save what remained of the Earth. First using ancient voodoo rituals, they summoned from the grave an army of ZOMBIES to protect the Illuminati and do battle with the NIGHTMARE KINGS. But this was only a delay tactic to give the EYE time to end the Blood Night (The accursed event that gave NETHERWORLDs hordes the free run of Earth). At long last the EYE had come to an accord with Goulich, the Vampire Lord who had called the Blood Night down upon Mankind. Sealed in the Mansion of the Prophet, guarded by the undead, Illuminati warriors and the very forces of nature, the Prophet, the EYE and Goulich worked together to undo the Vampire Lords spell. Soon the NIGHTMARE KINGS and their minions would penetrate the defenses and destroy them all.

The end was near. The NIGHTMARE KINGS and their armies had begun to breach the mystical and spiritual barriers around the Prophets Sanctum. Goblins with digging beasts burrowed into the sub basements of the mansion, as Gargoyles swarmed the skies above. Would the combined powers of THE EYE, the Prophet and Lord Goulich be enough to end the Blood Night before the world was completely over run?

We dare you to experience THE NIGHTMARES, the final chapter of the Blood Night Saga this Halloween season at the legendary NETHERWORLD Haunted House!”

So Deadites, as you venture out to find those haunts that will leave you running scared, Netherworld has upped the stakes once again this season.

Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary Gets 2 New Haunts for 2011

Fall is right around the corner, and there are big plans for the upcoming season of Terror Behind the Walls. Rotting Flesh Radio has had the pleasure of attending this event a variety of times and also getting a private behind the scenes tour. (Note the photo taken by RFR from the top of the towers).

As one of the haunt in the industry that continually gets recognition from the Travel Channel, a variety of press, Haunted Attraction Magazine and more, they always are keeping it fresh, scary and fun!

Now for 2011 and the upcoming season they have done it again.

Release: To celebrate 20 years of Terror Behind the Walls, they are launching TWO brand new, state-of-the-art attractions – The Gauntlet and Break Out!

THE GAUNLET
The experience begins with a disorienting maze, as you are ushered through numerous distractions and startles. This massive outdoor puzzle is full of surprises at every turn. As you try to find your own way out, you’ll find unexpected obstacles, objects, and very unfriendly creatures blocking your way to freedom.

BREAK OUT!Just when you think you have found freedom, you find yourself in the middle of a prison break! Inmates surround you using every way imaginable to escape, including barrels, ropes, tunnels, ladders, and crates. You must keep an eye out at every corner, as an inmate may even be using YOU to aid in their attempt to gain freedom.

So get ready haunters, enthusiasts and halloween buffs for an all-new season at Terror Behind The Walls.
