Scare Fest 07': Knott's Part 2

Sorry Folks, didn't get the map in there. But I will once I find a nice color scanner that can do the Knott's Scary Farm map justice! But just a few more comments on this past years experience:

The Hanging was as biting as ever. It featured Mad Max in a futuristic world, with all the regular ribbing at the celebrities' expense. They roasted the Pirates of the Carribean, Paris, Britney, Lindsay, and Tom Cruise just to name a few of the celebrities that got RIPPED. And, as with tradition, a celebrity is hung at the end of the show. This year however, was truly lame; they hung Sanjaya from American Idol. Wow, did not expect that one! In fact, the field was so rich from all the idiot things celebrities have done this year that they most likely said, "Hey lets just choose someone that no one would expect. That will really throw them off!"

I went to see Hacks right after that so I could sit down for a bit. At this point I was walking around for around five hours and just wanted to rest. This show had its bright points for being staged. Some of the jokes were a bit racy, which made them that much funnier. If I had started this blog in October, I would be able to offer you examples of the funniness, but alas I didn't so you will have to wait for next year to hear them.

Lost Vegas was pretty good this year. This maze is set in twisted, twilight zone existence that became of Las Vegas. At first glance this maze doesn't look as intimidating as the scarier mazes that I went through, such as the log ride or the doll factory. But it was, they had some well placed black-out monsters. A black-out monster, if this is not obvious, is just a monster that blends into the background. The black-out monsters that I experienced were almost indistinguishable from the background and three of them came from all sides of me and made me jump onto the ceiling! It was terrifying. That and the hot girl that was on a strippers pole that made maze worthwhile.

That was it as far as Knott's was concerned, the rest of the mazes were ok, nothing really changed about them if you had gone the previous years. Until next year, I will not have pleasure of writing another one of these articles about the most storied haunt of them all!

Next haunted review: Shiprweck aboard the Queen Mary ship!
