00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.000
passing it off to Darryl. The
hat Box Ghost has materialized at the Haunted

8
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.280
Mansion in Walt disney World in Orlando, Florida. Brave guests can encounter this

9
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.079
aerie specter next to the Endless Hallway, where he takes fiendish delight in unnerving

10
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.799
visitors with his heady parlor trick.
Disney imagineers have been working hard to prepare

11
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.799
the mansion for his arrival, enhancing
lighting and updating paint throughout the Huan attraction.

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.120
The Hatbocks Ghost has been a fixture
of the Disneyland version of the ride

13
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.439
since his reappearance in twenty fifteen.
This is his first visit to the East

14
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.760
Coast attraction. Halloween time at the
Disneyland resort in Anaheim, California, will

15
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.000
return August twenty third through October thirty
first of twenty twenty four. We could

16
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:25.040
fun for all ages. This spellbinding
season transforms the resort with autumn decor,

17
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.959
characters dressed in hauntingly hote Halloween oefits, and uniquely themed attractions. The Da

22
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.400
park's official website in the coming months. This year's event included two haunts,

23
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.920
scare Zones, DJs themed food and
beverages, more all with a Spring Break

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.439
twist. The Haunted Attraction Network visited
the event this past March for a little

25
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.120
r and rip. Check out our
twenty twenty three eventch coverage by following the

26
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.599
links in the show notes. Nile's
Scream Park and Niles, Michigan raised more

27
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.000
than one hundred and fifty three thousand
dollars for local groups this season. The

28
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.240
money raised in this fiftieth consecutive year
of the project benefited more than seventy seven

29
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.719
area children's organizations, civic groups,
and other charities. In additions to cash

30
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.120
donations, Nile's Scream Park supported many
local causes, auctions, and benefits with

31
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.879
ticket donations totally more than thirty five
hundred dollars. They also awarded eight thousand,

32
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.639
five hundred dollars in college scholarships in
twenty twenty three. Since nineteen ninety

33
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.599
six, the Scream Park has donated
over two and a half million dollars to

34
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.439
various local groups. Luke and Madison
Roads, the creators of Crossroads Escape Games,

35
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.919
have opened Slashers Acts Throwing in Ales
and cost him as A, California.

36
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.039
This horror themed ax throwing bar allows
guests to try their hand at ax

37
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.520
throwing versions of Battle Stations, Tic
Tac Toe, Alien Invasion, and other

38
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.560
fun games while enjoying craft ales.
I see ax throwing the same as I

39
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.360
saw Scape Rooms years ago, A
fun and great idea, but lacking in

40
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.280
immersive SATs and theatrical elements, says
Madison Rose. We plan to take Slashers

41
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.919
ax throwing in ales to the same
elevated level as Crossroads escape games. At

42
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.080
Slashers, every visit is a story
waiting to unfold, a mini adventure to

43
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.439
be had. Whether you are a
horror movie buff, an ax throwing enthusiast,

44
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.240
or just looking for a unique night
out, Slashers is the place to

45
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.280
be. Reservations are now available,
with one hour sessions starting at forty dollars

46
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.439
per person. The Lincoln Mill Haunted
House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will present

47
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:53.719
their first holiday haunt, a Twisted
Christmas, on Saturday, December sixteenth.

48
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.479
Lincoln Mill Haunted House is an immersive
storytelling attraction. We wanted to continue telling

49
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.800
the Lincoln story through the holiday season, said Lincoln Mail Haunted House co founder

50
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.840
Jared Bilsack. We always thought it
would be interesting to mesh together our two

51
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.879
favorite holidays, Christmas and Halloween.
We also have many elaborate sets, scenes,

52
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.199
and props that are sitting and collecting
dust throughout the off season. It

53
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.120
only made sense that we utilize our
Haunted House space, sprinkle it with a

54
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.600
little Christmas essence, and offer something
new and exciting to the community. The

55
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.800
haunt will feature over thirty five scare
actors and holiday theme sets and soundtracks.

Tickets are on sale now, starting
at thirty two dollars for general admission and

57

seventy five for VIP access. Christmas
met Halloween at moon Spot Farms in Kunkletown,

58
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.000
Pennsylvania. During their first Witchy Candy
Cane Hunt, Clues sent participants on

59
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.360
a hike and scavenger hunt to search
for candy canes and witchy ornaments at seven

60
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.600
different stops. It kind of gives
us a little bit of a farm tour,

61
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.879
but also fun with family and just
like education on different spiritual things,

62
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.879
relaxation, meditation and most importantly self
care, said Abigail France, owner of

63
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.800
Witchy Yogi Company. France has held
doggy scavenger hunts in the past, but

64
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.959
this is her first Christmas Halloween crossover
event. Trans World's East Coast Hunter's Convention

from the Grave, after last being
sold from the retailer in twenty eleven.

71
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.959
Demonica appears to break out of the
ground while twisting and turning her head.

72
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.360
From her creepy light up red eyes
to her frightening growls and laughter, Demonica

73
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.000
will have your guests running in terror. The animatronic is on sale now for

his favorite character from the popular video
game franchise. See the article by
