76
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.079
this year Journey to Hell is bigger and more frightening

77
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.000
than ever with two brand new scare zones. After the

78
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.800
success of our zone inside the Ghost Train last year,

79
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.560
We've turned another fan favorite ride into a terrifying live

80
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.319
action area, and it promises to be one of our

81
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.360
creepiest yet. We know our rides help us stand out

82
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.920
from the other scare events, so we've tripled the rides

83
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.839
available and added ride theming for a more immersive experience.

84
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.279
Even the rides that aren't classed as one of the

85
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.360
scare zones will have roaming actors and entertainment to create

86
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.519
a truly terrifying night. Journey to Hell Freak Nights takes

87
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.319

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.079

bring neighbors together, build a stronger sense of community, and

97
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.959

show notes. Organizers of the Douglas Helloween Parade for adults

105
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.639
in Douglash, Michigan, are looking to raise an additional eighteen

106
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.920
thousand dollars to fund this year's event. For the past

107
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.120
twenty five years, the event has been taxpayer subsidized. However,

108
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.720
as it has grown, the city can no longer cover

109
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.720
all the expenses. The event costs fifty two thousand dollars

110
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.319
in twenty twenty three, and is expected to cost close

111
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.519
to eighty thousand dollars for twenty twenty four. This year,

112
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.560
over eighteen thousand dollars of expenses have been passed along

113
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.279
to the nonprofit Estopless Productions to ensure the event can

114
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.800
safely occur. The event brings over ten thousand people to Douglas,

115
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.279
where they support local businesses and restaurants. This event serves

116
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.399
as a bridge to get area businesses through the shoulder season,

117
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.720
and that's how we talk them into being a sponsor,

118
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.319
said Aaron Wilkinson, director of Events for Histopolis. There is

119
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.480
a limit on how much we can ask, however, and

120
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.519
we're near it, especially with so many other events competing

121
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.959
for funds. A GoFundMe has been created to seek donations

122
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.439
from community members who would like to see this beloved

123
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.360
tradition continue. As of September ninth, the fund raised over

124
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.279
twenty five hundred dollars from thirty eight donations. Learn more

126
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.600
On Friday, September twenty seventh, Vegas Theater Company in Las Vegas, Nevada,

127
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.920
will premiere The House on Watch Hill a new musical

128
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.759
from the writers of the Tony Award winning Bandstand, Richard

129
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.720
Oberacker and Robert Taylor. The musical is a coming of

130
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.399
age story of a horror obsessed ten who, in the

131
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.279
summer of nineteen eighty four, is determined to build the

132
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.759
greatest haunted house Cincinnati has ever seen. Joined by his

133
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.639
misfit friends who'd rather be anywhere but home, they embark

134
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.519
on a quest to craft a spine chilling spectacle to

135
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.879
rival the famed Haunted Mansion, with hormones raging, raw roskirts

136
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.959
to wrangle, and big dreams and big hair to pursue

137
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.399
what can possibly stand in their way. Featuring a dynamic

138
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.759
live band and an electrifying nineteen eighties inspired score, the

139
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.439
House on watch Hill will take audiences back to an

140
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.600
era with an iconic blend of teen high jinks, comedy,

141
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.439
and raw heartache. Tickets are on sale now starting at

142
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.959

November third. Ames Haunted Forest and Ames Iowa has made

145
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.120
the difficult decision to close after twenty five years of operation.

146
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.720
It's so labor intensive for us, said co owner Lynn Ballard.

147
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.600
I'm seventy two and my brother's getting up there. Lynn

148
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.799
and his brother have helped to run the event since

149
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.639
their father began it in nineteen ninety nine, with other

150
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.159
family members pitching in over the years. Now, with the

151
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.720
demands increasing each year, the family has decided to close

152
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.039
the attraction. They plan to use the space from the

153
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.639
former haunt to expand the parking lot they already own

154
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.720
near Jack Trice Stadion, adding three to four hundred new

155
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.519
spaces to the lot. And his family are grateful for

156
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.519
all the community support they have received over the years.

157
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.159

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.000
event offers forty four acres of fear with six haunted houses,

160
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.240

161
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.200
entertainment acts, throwing paintball, hall of fire, museum, photo ops,

162
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.240

have halted the construction of a popular pirate themed home

212
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.519
haunt display in Ortilla, Ontario, Canada. For the past four years,

213
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.039
Natalie McGregor and her family have constructed a life sized

214
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.879
pirate ship with fog blowing cannons, skeletons, and other Halloween

215
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.240
decorations for Halloween Night. In twenty twenty three, the family

216
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.600
gave out more than five hundred treat bags to trick

217
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.279
or treaters, and this year they had intended to use

218
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.240
the display as a food drive for the Sharing Place

219
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.600
Food center. In mid August, however, by Law, Building Inspection

220
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.000
and Building Division officials contacted the mcgregors and told them

221
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.480
to halt construction. We were provided with some parameters to

222
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.440
work within, and we made changes, said Natalie. Then they

223
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.840

224
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.399
Melissa go Unlock, the city's manager of Communications, said that

225
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.960
by Law officers investigated the structure after receiving numerous complaints.

226
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.360
The structure in question is not a typical Halloween decoration,

227
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.720
but rather a large built structure that must comply with

228
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.360
the city's zoning bylaws and the provincial Building Code. She

229
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.799
advises any home haunter, if you are erecting a structure,

230
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.159
whether permanent or temporary, it's always a good idea to

231
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.440
check with a city to ensure it meets necessary requirements.

232
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.679
The mcgregors have started an online petition to ask for

233
