Dark Horizon Orlando Opening Weekend

Picture
This past weekend the highly anticipated Dark Horizon opened in Orlando. Brought to us by our friends at Queen Mary's Dark Harbor, this event continues some of the amazing stories of that event and gives them a Florida Flair. 

Renee and Tyler were there two nights this past weekend and definitely enjoyed themselves. Let's check it out!! 

Written by Renée Girard
Tonight is opening night for Orlando’s brand new haunt, Dark Horizon: Point of No Return. Dark Harbor on the west coast is amazing so I can’t wait to see what they’ve brought here!
Picture
Picture
The red carpet is set and we’re ready for a night of fun and fear!
Picture
Picture
The characters are beginning to emerge and we’re seeing some impressive acts.
Picture
Picture
Picture
More creatures are coming out to greet the crowd.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There’s some tasty food to sample too!
Picture
So far everyone looks awesomely creepy. Really looking forward to seeing what’s lurking inside the houses.
Picture
Picture
The cast of Ghost Ship welcomes us aboard.
Picture
Picture
Bloody Watson and the gang of Murder Island might be the creepiest of all.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Dark Harbor has secret bars, and they’ve brought that tradition to the east coast.
Picture
A backpack full of alcohol? Yes please!
Picture
We’re going in!
Picture
Picture
​The Vodou House had some cool scares, and I had to crawl through a separate maze to get out! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​There is a stage in the middle where different acts perform, like this guy tossing around fire!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​I love unique aspects of haunted houses when you get to do something other than simply walk through!
Picture
Ghost Ship and Murder Island are the other two houses and they’re both really well done! The secret bar is located inside Ghost Ship, which is a lot of fun when you find it.
Picture
Picture
​Not gonna lie, we had quite a bit to drink, but everything we had was delicious! I think the Poisoned Apple from the Cellar Bar was my favorite. I feel like there was so much to see and do, but we’ll be going back for more Saturday night!
Picture
Picture

​Back for more
Picture
​Love the secret bar!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Got to see a different stunt show tonight with some aerial performances. 
Picture
​Going down the slide on the Ghostship!
Picture
​We hit all the houses again! Taking a break at the bars and then time for some more scares.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​A look at a map and a view of the event from above. We’ve had such a fun time at Dark Horizon this week and hope that it continues a successful run for the rest of this month!

Los Angeles Haunted Hayride 2019

Picture
Last weekend we were invited out to the all new and improved Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. While we've always managed to have fun at this event, a few years it was kind of hit-and-miss. This year it's definitely all hit, well at least the event itself is. 

​Let's go have a roll in the hay!! 

Written by Gregg Condon
Welcome to the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride! 
Picture
Before we head into the town of Midnight Falls, we do have to bring up the elephant in the zoo, err, room. And that's the logistics of actually getting into the event. Once you're in everything seems to be running spectacularly.

Unfortunately trying to park was the biggest nightmare of the night. It didn't seem like there was a lot of communication going on between the staff in the different parking sections, nobody knew who was supposed to park where, there was no alternative parking area's that we saw and we even saw one parking attendant who didn't know where handicapped parking was.

The line for security was also the longest we saw all night. Obviously security is something we have to deal with in this day and age, but it was really long.

Hopefully they'll work on those logistics with the companies that are doing the security and parking, because we aren't sure if that's a Haunted Hayride thing, or an outside company thing. Train your people the right way and this has less a chance of happening (says the guy who's been a corporate trainer for 15 years).

Alright, enough of the one negative, let's get to the good stuff!!

Welcome to Midnight Falls!!

Cool arch heading into the event this year

Sign leading you every direction

Picture
The Scary-Go-Round is back
Picture
Some fun shows going on here all night
Picture
The inhabitants of Midnight Falls were a lot of fun
Picture
Let's head in and do the Hayride! 
This looks familiar (as seen at Midsummer Scream) 
Picture
Picture
The waiting area is a container instead of the cages used in previous years 
Picture
We're ready!! 
Picture
Unlike previous years there are no stops on the Hayride, which we think actually works better than the show stops. It helps everything to flow much better. 
Picture
The Hayride features some tried and true Hayride scares, and some new ones that were a lot of fun. 
Picture
Picture
No fishing at night
Picture
Itsy Bitsy spider

Picture
Picture
Who decided to make a Hayride near the Cemetery? 
Picture
Picture
The Hayride also features a few mazes, which were a lot of fun. The first was Midnight Mortuary. 
Picture
The talent in the mazes was spectacular. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Next up was Trick or Treat 
Picture
The doorbells are back, but no candy this year. But the maze was super fun. 
Picture
Picture
Friend!! 
Picture
Cute baby!! 
Picture
Cheers!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
1,000,000 internet points if you know what makes this so great!! 
Picture
The merchandise was also pretty amazing this year. 
We still have our free tickets from Midsummer Scream so are planning on going back at least one night this season. 

We also decided to stop at one of our favorite eateries after, the Dog Haus. And you can see why. 
Picture
Make sure you head out for this years Hayride. It's super good and we definitely recommend it this year.
