Haunted Attractions-Then and Now!

Hello all and we hope your having a good week so far!
On this newsletter we have another article for you for our Haunted History Month.
Last week we went over the history of haunted attractions well this week we are going to tell how much the haunted houses have Changed!

Haunted Attractions Then: back in the 60's and the 70's haunted houses were very short and cheaply made. Almost all the scenes were set up in the dark. Their was no expensive props. Most of the props were homemade by the owners of the haunt. Haunted houses were really cheap ticket price back then. Part of the reason was their was not a lot of space. So it was not that long. But they still did the job for scaring people. Haunted houses back then started old school haunts! Old school haunts are haunts that were more dependent on the actors scaring the visitors not the props.

Haunted Attractions Now: Now a days haunts are much larger and gorier. The props are a lot better but not as cheap. Haunted attractions owners can spend thousands of dollars for props. But let me tell you these props are a really realistic. Also they have props that are like robots. Which now a days haunts use that kind of props that are more realistic. But still haunts still use the old school style of scaring people. Now their are also haunted houses and haunted attractions every were you go in the untied states. Also haunting is become a million dollar industry with high tech props and gory scenes.
So I hope you enjoyed our article and next week we will have another article called Haunted Houses and Michigan The Reason why Michigan is the Haunt Capital of the World! so look forward too that. also reminder to check our site for the pictures and articles for our haunted history month.
So to next week

History of Haunted Attractions!

Hello all again!
Were have another article for our Haunted History Month! This week we are telling you the history of haunted Attractions!

Well haunted attractions were basically a garage type of a deal were you would have fake props and cheesy scenes. The garage type haunts were not as long as a haunted house you will find today. But it was mostly to scare people for the fun of it not for the profit type deal like you will find today. Now from the garage type of haunts it got more real when Jaycees (Junior Chamber International) started making more haunted houses that were much longer the the garage type haunts! Now Jaycees haunts were run by volunteers. But they did start charging people to get in their haunted attractions! Now Jaycees was the founder of making a profit for scaring people for fun. Which will flip the haunt world up side down. Now a days haunts are much more better then it was back in the day. Haunted attractions have gotten a lot larger and props were a lot better now. We got haunts that are 4 stories tall.
Haunted attractions in the Untied States scare about 12,000,000 people a year! Also their are still a large amount of garage type haunts and Jaycees haunted houses all over the Untied States!
That was the history of Haunted Attractions! Now next week we will be writing another article about: Haunted Attractions Then & Now! So stay tuned for that.
Now make sure to check out our website for all of articles and we got some pictures on their. So make sure to check our site out. Also if you got a Hauntspace come and add our hauntspace that were still working on. Add mchc as a friend.
So please keep on reading. and have a good St.Patrick's Day.

The History of Halloween:
Halloween gets it start by Celtic festival known as Samhain. The celebration of Samhain is at the end of the harvest Season. Its also known as the Celtic-New year. The festival was calibrated on October 31st. The Celts believed that October 31st was the boundary the living and the deceased dissolved and the dead became dangerous for the living by causing problems like sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would include having bonfires into which the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown in. Costumes and masks were worn to attempt to copy evil spirits.
On Halloween or All Hollows Eve Celtics would but a skeleton in front of their window still to represent the departed. Lanterns were in northern Europe were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga.
Halloween Now:
Well Halloween is most cases is not a festival but a holiday in most country's. Now a days kids or some adults go out Trick or Treating for candy every October 31st. Halloween is one of the largest holidays next to Christmas. During the month of October Haunted houses going on and costumes and Halloween props being sold trough the country.

30 Days of Night Movie Review!

Hello all and welcome to March.
This edition of our newsletter were going to have a Horror Movie review of a kinda of new movie. We are reviewing the Movie 30 Days of Night which came out in 2008.
30 days of night Pictures, Images and Photos
30 Days of Night was not as good as I thought it would be. To me it was extremely overrated. It got to much credit then it actually deserved. But before I go in depth on the review let me tell you what the movie is actually about. 30 days of night is about the small town of Barrow,Alaska. In which the town is preparing for 30 Days of night were they don't see sun for 30 days. But during the vampires come to feed.
Being I am not the biggest vampire movies fan I still watched it. Now the plot of the movie was really good. Also the movie being in Alaska I thought that was very creative. Now it was not a typical Vampire Movie. It was a lot more gorier and the actual vampires looked way different then you would think a vampire would look like. They looked bad ass to me. But the thing I did not like was that it was kinda of annoying when you ever see the vampire it would scream and to me the scream was very annoying. Also another thing was it kinda bored me at some parts. But it was way too overrated their is a lot more better movies out their. So our final review for 30 Days of Night is....3 out of 6 skulls!
I know I had mention too you guys about Nightmare Sinema but in the past. But I actually got the time to watch them last Saturday night and let me tell you the show as gotten a lot funnier then the past. It also shows really good movies too. So make sure you watch Nightmare Sinema every Saturday night a Midnight on My TV 20 Detroit! also go to their site www.nightmaresinema.com
So that is all for this weeks Newsletter
Thanks for reading
