Spookyworld is Celebrating 20 Years in style with ‘THE FEAR AT FENWAY’ this Season!

Well, who says things can’t get better with age. The Spookyworld Event is celebrating 20 years this year of scaring patrons, sending chills down your spines and leaving you frightened. And to kick that off with a bang Mike ‘Tattoo’ of Bad Boys Scenic Design is kicking off The Fear at Fenway!

“For the first time in its 20 year history, SpookyWorld is coming to the City of Boston and will present The Fear at Fenway, located at historic Fenway Park. Visitors to the Fear at Fenway will experience three haunted attractions and the event promises to be the PREMIER Halloween event of the entire year!

America’s Horror Scream Park turns 20!

This year, SpookyWorld is celebrating 20 years of delivering the most intense, exhilarating, adrenaline-charged Halloween experience to all who have dared to visit. Join us for the celebration!”

To engage in the festivities there will be not one, not two, BUT THREE Haunted Attractions for you. The First being the Brigham Manor

Among the oldest manors in the Commonwealth, this distinguished home was witness to thirteen known atrocities in the 1800’s—acts so depraved and unspeakable that historians who dared to chronicle the events have met a savage fate themselves. Through the years efforts have been made to restore this old manor to its former glory, but the spirits that dwell in the stately rooms have unleashed tragedy to those who tempted fate by calling this manor home. Feared by locals, today the Manor sits neglected and empty….or is it?

Next up is the Hancock Hill Cemetery. Hundreds from Boston’s most illustrious families–and some of the area’s most notorious characters–have been entombed on the historic grounds of Hancock Hill. Once considered to be the most beautiful, peaceful place to be laid to rest in New England, Hancock Hill soon became a landmark simply known for being evil. Dozens of attempts have been made to expel the evil that pervades the grounds, but to this day the cemetery is home to a wickedness that refuses to rest and relentlessly haunts the surrounding communities…

And finally you can experience the 3D Freakout. Step into the Freakout where you never know what awaits around each corner! A twisted labyrinth of color and motion, nothing is as is seems. Try to avoid being ensnared by the unpredictable creatures that stalk the hallways and infected by the pestilent fiends that proliferate faster than they can be quarantined. Can you escape the noxious fumes steaming from barrels of unknown origin and wreaking unimaginable damage? No corner is safe from the menacing beasts that compete to rule this unholy realm of horror. This is battlefield for Freaks vs. Clowns; be sure to keep your wits or next the battle may be them vs. you!

The Fear at Fenway is scheduled to kick off October 28 every night through November 6, 2011.

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…
