Scarezones
September 16, 2008
PH: HHN never makes the houses their only attraction for the night. If you want to give someone the heebie-jeebies you’ve gotta make them pee themselves start to finish. Each of the zones is tailored loosely after the houses themselves, with a whopping three of them going for the inherent creepiness of the Scary Tales house. You’ll get a spider-festooned Little Miss Muffet, a whacked out Mad Hatter, and some pretty awesome flying monkeys (though with their outfits they look more like flying Ghostbusters). These areas offer good, cheap thrills, and if you’re low on fog-inhalation for the year, this is where you stock up.
TC: You may get a safety grope from your girlfriend when those ever-present chainsaw maniacs come running, but be sure to check out the Oz-based “Path of the Wicked.” Not only are the flying monkeys great eye candy, they’re good scare strategy. Psst: While you’re staring up at the aerobats, there are evil midgets sneaking up on you. Apparently, the Lollipop Guild is kind of like the League of Assassins for little people.
