Though I was creeped out, I understood the reason for the oddities that seemed to follow me throughout the day. Today is October 30th. All Hallows Eve, also known as Devil's Night to a few. It is the night before Halloween. The time when the worlds of reality and the unknown are the closest.
When Halloween and All Hallows Eve end up in the middle of the week, it is always kind of a bummer. Most of the Halloween hi-jinx have been celebrated the weekend before. There's not a lot to do to celebrate Halloween in the middle of the week.
One of the most disappointing things about Halloween occurring during the week is that many of the Haunted Attractions have already shut down for the year. Sure there may be a few who are smart enough to be open this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But, they are far and few between.
It takes a heck of a lot to put together a big show like that. It would be only beneficial to open for a few more nights and make some more money. With all of the planning, building and logistics it takes to pull off a Haunted Attraction year after year, you'd think that they'd want to pull in as much coin as they possibly could in a season.
How much work does it take to make a Haunt come to unlife? Take a look at this behind the scenes video of a really great haunt.
It features the planning and building of a Haunt in an old brewery form a few years back. The Haunted Lemp Brewery in St. Louis, MO has become one of the best Haunted Attractions in the U.S.
That shall be all for another season of macabre and strange. So, tomorrow when you get that uneasy feeling of unseen eyes watching you every move, waiting for the right time to pounce, just tell yourself, "It's only just one more day".
Have a happy and safe Halloween!
Stay vertical.
