New Attractions: Leap of Death and Menacing Maze
We put the finishing touches on the Leap of Death this weekend and tested it out on one or our more expendable employees. Perfection. You too can climb to the top of a wobbly telephone pole, perch yourself on top, and jump. When you get down, head over to our other new attraction this year:…
Rot and Mold! Hello Cleveland!
Its 3:07 a.m and the Haunted Forest is looking quite good as we tap into the spine of all things freaky. Yours truly, The Reaper, has finally done what he refused to do over the last few weeks – enter the forest alone after everyone else has gone home. I don’t mind walking through the…
Birth of a Ghost Bus
When Panic Point had a prison, decades ago, the inmates only feared one man. It wasn’t Warden Jenkins, he of the baby-face and easy smile. No. “Warden J.” was cleaner than a frog’s armpit. And it wasn’t the guards. Those guys were dumber than a bucket of gopher puke, and only slightly more useful. One…
Would you spend a night alone in a Haunted Forest?
Lately I’ve been paying a lot more attention to those Ghost shows on TV. You know, the ones where everybody is holding some sort of Ghost-Buster-style PKE (psycho kinetic energy) detector. In the low light everybody looks green ,with glowing eyes. Then, ALL OF A SUDDDEN, the camera fast pans to a chair in the…
Haunted House in NC wants musical recommendations!
When it comes to Halloween music, I can only listen to “Monster Mash” so many times before tearing my eyebrow hair out (I shave my balding skull). If Halloween in Raleigh is really going to be “killer”, we need a play list to set the energy level at the haunted attraction. I usually hit shuffle…
And then it Rained
Friday, April 22 – It was cloudy but not overtly threatening. The Panic Point Haunted bus needed a paint job and we had the crew to make it happen. A lot of excited teenagers with access to brushes and enormous amounts of black paint. What could go wrong? Well, nobody fell off the bus, and…
The Ghost Rules
Everybody wants answers. North Carolina Haunted Houses are no different than any others around the world. They are real. Anybody who has experienced a haunting knows that. The question is…what are the rules? Can any Spirit do anything, any time? The short answer to that question is, “no”. Spirits of the departed stay near our…
Wood, roots, & dung (oh my!)
How many North Carolina Haunted Houses are giving these kinds of updates? We’re all about detail, and pleasing the people (or person) reading our blog right now. Its all part of our effort to be the best haunted house in Raleigh/Durham. The Haunted Forest received a lumber delivery today from Galliher & Huguely. We posted…
Haunted Trail is cut!!
After four grueling days of laying out and raking the terrain, the path for the Haunted Trail is completely cut out within the forest. The trail will take you up and down through the woods and even over a creek bed twice. Plenty of haunts will be in store during this approximate 1/2 mile trail…
All Systems GO for Halloween 2011
The Haunted Forest at Panic Point is right on schedule. On March 8th, 2011 the Youngsville Town Council unanimously approved our application to build and operate our haunt. Now the real work begins. Becoming the King of all North Carolina Haunted Houses will take thousands of hours and some slightly deranged minds. Fortunately, we are…
