HAUNT PROP MONDAY THANKS TO THE HORROR DOME "FLYING VAMPIRE RISER"

Welcome back to another episode of HH365! Today we take a look at another great prop from thehorrordome.com. I have only seen a very few Vampire walk throughs in our time of reviewing Haunts. Vampires are really a more old school theme but always a great one. The Vampire movie is one of the oldest part of the Horror genre so it surprises me to not see more of it in Haunts. This prop reminds me of the beginning of Horror and would love to see this in a walk through.
Check out the video and enjoy the oldest scares in history. This one is pretty creepy and different from the old tales. We love the spin that THEHORRORDOME.COM put on this old classic.
That is all we have for you today at Halloween Haunts 365. Keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!

More Bad News for 2020

Welcome back to another episode of HH365! Today will be much of the same for the 2020 season. Another Closed Haunt Announcement and another big one has released that they will be shutting the doors for the 2020 season!

Knott's Scary Farm. Another very large Haunted Attraction located at an Amusement Park in California has decided to shut down for the Covid Ridden 2020 Season.

I believe we will continue to see the very large Amusement Park continue to announce their closure of the 2020 season. A lot of that we also believe is financial. They did not have the Summer season to help pad opening for another Month and a half. It still makes us wonder what these closings will have in store for the more Private Owned Haunted Attractions. We have only heard rulings out of one state so far as far as the Government is concerned.

That is what we have for you today sadly, Keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!

NEWS OUT OF BRIGHTON ASYLUM

Welcome back to another installment of HH365! Today we took a look at some positive news coming out of Brighton Asylum in New Jersey! As you can see from the additions we mention below, the team at Brighton has been very very busy and building their already great Haunt into a show stopper, let us take a look at some of the new features coming to Brighton Asylum.

1. The Hack Shack. Yes, Brighton has brought Ax throwing into their Attraction. They also even were able to make it look creepy with the blue lighting. Look forward to throwing a few Axes when we visit this September-October.

2. A Merchandise stand. YES! We believe every Haunt should have a place to showcase and sell their Merchandise! Brighton has pulled the trigger and I look to spend some money when I finally get there! I need another Haunt mug like I need a hole in the head but hey! It is my Passion!

3. New Cleaning Techniques to keep all of us safe from that nasty C-Word!

4. Additions to their standing Attractions. Brighton always says that they just changed a few things but then you end up in brand new scenes that you never saw before over and over again through the tour! When Brighton Asylum tells me they added some things, They added or changed A LOT OF THINGS!

I am sure there are more and I am sure we can get deeper details but we won't. With this year 2020, I want as much fun and surprises as I can find. Make sure you come back for the reviews, after all that is what Halloween Haunts 365 started as and became so much more. Keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!

SPIRIT HALLOWEEN 2020 REVIEW

Welcome back to another episode of HH365! Today we take our Annual peek into what Spirit Halloween has to offer for the upcoming season!

We have not enjoyed our last two seasons with what Spirit has had to offer the Home Haunter or the Halloween Enthusiast. This year was so much better!

This year there is a large Clown Theme going on inside and a ton of the props look incredible. There is also some great Character props like Sam from Trick or Treat and Pennywise that had great likeness and sound effects. They also have some very creepy little kid props including one that sits there on a swing and makes fun of you and your mom. This little guy was pretty funny, but really does not serve as creepy as he is only wearing a mask. We will show some of the images we captured and go into what really enjoyed and what will probably be coming home with us other then the Nightmare on Elm Street merch that I already had to pick up including a blanket, mug, cup, key chain, magnet and walk way markers that are huge, light up and play the theme song. Let us get to some badly captured video.
We also added a few pictures.
My favorite animatronic this season is the one pictured above. The zombie with the stick coming out of his chest is highly detailed for a Spirit Halloween prop. The movement is great and I am really contemplating picking that guy up this year.

Spirit also had a great selection this year of 80's Horror with Freddy, Jason and a big selection of Michael Myers. We are also hearing rumors about a Myers statue coming with light up eyes and theme music, but we have not been able to confirm or deny that!

That is what we have for you today during our 6th Spirit Halloween Review. Keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!

NEWS OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA. NOT PRETTY

Welcome back to another episode of HH365! Do not mind the picture, that is Pennhurst Asylum. Just reminds me of better times then 2020.

We have been doing our homework on the upcoming Haunt Season. All of our research has been pretty much showing that Haunts are cleaning and preparing like never before to open for 2020.

That was until we read a column about North Carolina. Their Governor has announced that under the Phase 2 that they currently stand at, No Haunted Attraction may open under Phase 2 of that state. Who really knows what Phase 2 in North Carolina really means but either way, this is not good for Haunts across the U.S.

There are no real specifications of  Phases for each state. This entire Haunt Season for 2020 will really solely sit on the hands of what ever kind of Administration the state has. With the facts showing that flare ups of Covid-19 happening all along the South, Midwest and West United States, I can really envision a total wash for the 2020 Haunt Season. Even if your state has been not listed as a flare up, the Leadership will just follow plans on what their side is doing. So even if you are from bumble hell, whatever State and never had a Covid-19 tested positive in your County, there is a great chance you will still be shut down by the Administration in your state or County because no one really knows what is going on They will just follow each other like they have done since March.

I will tell you, these are not the type of articles I thought I would be coming up with in August with Haunt Season being a Month away. Well! We are still trying to stay positive and hopefully squeeze something out of 2020 Haunt Season! Keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!

THIS IS A BIG ONE AND IT HURTS AND THE IMPACT WILL SEND SHOCK WAVES GUARANTEED

Welcome back to another episode of HalloweenHaunts365.com! Today will be alot like the rest of 2020 we are afraid. 2020, as we see it so far will be full of Haunted Attraction disappointments. We understand that all of the Attractions are doing everything that they can to open around us and around the Country. And for the sake of this site and all of our Haunts, we hope that they are able to have some kind of season.

As you can read in the picture above, One of the biggest Haunts has decided to close its doors well before the 2020 Haunt Season. What does this mean for our Local or Privately owned Haunted Attractions? What we see is below.

1. With a Haunt of this type, we know that the Government will more then likely get more involved in the private sector with such a different kid of business model. Especially with the crowding that takes place during the open nights.

2. Government is already a little confused about what these places are, so when they see such a big name close, it will send shock waves to the Private Sector.

A ton of Haunts right now are prepping for 2020. From advanced cleaning methods to ways to keep the lines "Social Distanced". But, it could all come to a sweeping end without anything they can do about it. This is not the news we like to deliver but its really the facts of 2020. It will only take a hand full of Governors who really never liked Halloween or Haunted Houses to pull the trigger on all of it.

We are keeping our heads up high right now and will continue to bother the Owners and Operators for what we can look forward to for 2020. Keep it here for all your Haunt News only at HalloweenHaunts365.com!

HAUNT PROP MONDAY BROUGHT TO YOU BY THEHORRORDOME.COM "JACK O LANTERN STARTLER"

Welcome back to another installment of HH365! We are sure you have noticed that the posts have been so infrequent as of late. We have returned back to our jobs and things have been hectic around here. We apologize for the Hiatus but it was needed during returning to "normal" life.  Let us get back into HH365 motion the correct way with a look at a great Haunted Attraction prop that will fit in most scenes and that was created by THEHORRORDOME.COM. I know a few hayrides and certain walk throughs that can really benefit with having this prop here to startle the unknowing customers at every turn. The scary pumpkin thing is not really my cup of tea but can see how it can be frightening out of nowhere, especially in a field of, yes, you guessed it, pumpkins! Let us check out the cool video and make sure you pick up yours at THEHORRORDOME.COM.
Wow! That will easily make anyone jump. Thank you for stopping by for another Haunt Prop Monday! Make sure you keep it here to HH365! Where Every Day Is Haunt Season!
