Zombian closer to the day

Joseph — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:24:09 +0000

Third weekend in October is here and once again I ask, what are you doing? All haunts are open, all costume shops are still stocked, more and more decorations around the neighborhood are popping up and don’t forget the events around town, like the horror convention.

As for me, it’s the time of year I start playing zombie games, watching zombie movies and reading zombie books. Yea, I like the ZOMBIE, a lot! Now if you’re like me and want to fill in the gaps between when your out screaming like a little girl at an attraction and when your stalking the local Halloween stores; find a good zombie book like The Zombie Survival Guide or maybe shoot some zombies in Left 4 Dead or perhaps watch a great zombie flick Dawn of the Dead (1978). There are plenty of zombies thing to do, pick one.

If your not into the whole zombie thing, then I cant help you, but when zombie’s do start popping up, don’t tell me i didn’t try to prepare you.

First October Weekend!

Houston we have a problem. We’re not sure how we’re going to get to so many attractions. So many attractions…I have better things to do, like watch Snoopy shoot down the Red Baron or dream about my zombies-on-the-moon movie script…or eat mint chocolate chip ice cream. Mmmm, green.

Houstonian’s have come through this year, shooting us emails about the local haunts not already on our site. Where were you all our lives?? Thanks to those of you that kept an eye out there and informed us of them. Check out our attractions page to see all the great attractions we have this year! Here are just a few:

A World of Screamin’ Thanks

We had a chance to stop and smell the flowers last night, so we jumped into our casket and rolled down to the SW lounge. It was a perfect evening, the weather was cool, the people excited, and I just finished a horribly stressful week at school. Nothing like a few people screaming in my face and dazzling haunted interiors to get my head back on straight. So with that said, I think I should mention that ScreamWorld continues their improvement. This year the fixes seemed relatively small, but I like to think of myself as an artist and the key is in the details.

In my humble opinion, ScreamWorld does one of the best jobs working with the infamous “Herd Effect.” (The problem most haunted houses deal with) by providing us something friggin’ cool to look at. Excellent lighting usage, cool additions to the “Inside-Outside scene” and some new splinter-free textured walls, instead of those plain black ones. That’s how you make me happy, make me feel like I’m not in a warehouse, but instead that I’m exploring some weirdo farm house or some haunted mansion.
