Busch Garden's Christmas Town


Since it's the christmas season, I've decided to do a post on Busch Gardens Christmas Town. I've never been to Busch Garden's Christmas Town, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. So hear are my ideas and suggestions for Christmas Town in both Williamsburg and Tampa. In each section of the parks, they will display different traditions from European countries.  


England
In England, the area will be decorated and themed in a Victorian era with Dickensian Christmas carolers and the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future will interact with the patrons. 


Italy 
The Italian section of the park, guests will be welcomed by Befana, the christmas witch and the take part in the Roman festival of Saturnalia. 

Germany
The German Village will house a christkindlmarkt with a variety of old fashioned toys, baked goods, and authentic old world gifts. While St Nicolas wonders the streets, accompanied with the Christkind and Krampus or Knecht Ruprecht, in search for children who have been good or bad. The festhaus will  provide entertainment for visitors of stage production based on The Nutcracker.             


Scotland 
In Scotland, the stables feature barnyard animals and figures portraying scenes from the Nativity Story.

Howl o Scream: Till Death do us Part

Icon: Angelica Demort aka The Bride

  Pontchartrain Parish, Louisiana 1866. Angelica DeMort is a stunning Southern belle descended from a long line of Southern Aristocracy. Wishing nothing more than to find her "true love" she was determined never to marry until she found her soulmate. Her father had arranged for her an engagement gala in Shadey Oaks Plantation on August, to meet ten of the wealthiest men that he can find. However, she found  of the suitors to be an unpleasant bunch:

Vincent Loomis was a greedy horder.
Charles Graves was obsessed with spirits and life after Death. 
Julius Browning was fascinated with occult 
Damian Phillips was a bookworm.
Jason Williams was a cowardly panophobe.
Daniel Carter was a rugged outdoors man.
Simon Caine was a child of mix races

But then she was introduced to Roman Shuster. Both fell in love with each other and were soon to be married. However, the nine vengeful suitors devised plan to ruin Angelica's wedding after being rejected by her. On the eve of the wedding, the suitors told Shuster vicious rumors about Angelica and her family's dark history. Shuster had no choice but to call off the wedding. When the wedding day arrived, she 
was waiting for him in the aisle of the White Creak Chapel, but her groom never came. After being jilted, she committed suicide, just before she cursed on the decedents of her suitors 

Julius Browning's grand daughter became a member of the sisterhood of Hecte Epsilon Xi. A coven of witches. 
Charles Grave's grand son, Malcolm, would become a leader in team of paranormal investigators in Hellgate Manor. 
Vincent Loomis's cousin unwittingly unleashed the ancient gods and demons of Egypt.  
Damian Phillip's nephew  become a writer, while suffering traumatic nightmares.
Jason Williams,  become the grandfather of The Matriarch of The Murder House.
Daniel Carter's brother become the victim of the windgio
Simon Caine's niece would be become The Voodoo Queen's follower.  

 Today, people have witnessed a ghostly bride roaming the hills of the now abandoned White Creek Chapel looking for her groom til the end of time. Others say her soul was able to reincarnate into many different forms 


Mazes
Legends tell of the Wendigo, a creature that arises when a human has feasted upon the flesh of another. The village of Alamodot Outpost, a 19th-century Alaskan trade outpost has fallen prey to starvation and cannibalism, serve to show that legends can have truth to them.

May 11th 1969, Professor Johnston Graves and his team of psychics and paranormal investigators explore the most haunted houses in England, Highgate or Hellgate Hall. By the 13th, Prof. Graves and his team, delved deeper into the walls of Hellgate, and even deeper into its disturbing past. Beware of the the dangers that await in the bedeviled Halls of Hellgate. Encounter the malicious specters and entities that inhabit the abandoned Mansions rooms and corridors. 


Enter the pages of the Necronomicon and into a world of unnatural horrors and cosmic terrors beyond your nightmares. As you delve deep into the mind of H. P. Lovecraft, surrounded by his creations and the demons of his past. 

In 1922, a group of archeologist have just recently discovered the tomb, which holds a portal into the terrifying world of gods, demons, monsters and lost souls from Ancient Egypt.


Out in the swampland of Pontchartrain Parish an ancient mansion was home to dark and powerful voodoo. The Voodoo Queen mystically transforms lost wanderers into her undead minions of evil with black magic. As zombies walk the grounds intent to keep out any trespassers who wish to witness the horrible beings of the other side.

Housemother Crowley and the sisters of Sigma Epsilon Xi know how to throw one hell of party, because they are in fact a coven of witches that dates back to the Salem Witch Trials. Now they're hosting an exclusive Halloween party, in which they must find a sacrifice for their goddess. Danger lurks, in every corner and dormitory. So think twice before you go that panty-raiding party, because you might be the one they've been look for.

 
The absolute low of human decency is serial killing. Men and women kidnap innocent people and brutally slaughter them. Killers usually work alone. What happens when you get an entire family of them?

For the nearly half a century, the doors of the White Creek Wedding Chapel have been closed since the fateful night Angela DeMort went on a horrific killing spree. To this day the abandoned chapel has been sight for apparitions and paranormal activity. Now the restless spirits who wander the halls have risen because Angela's back for vengeance. With the halls echoing the terrifying screams of her past victims, Angela will make this night a living hell. 


Scare Zones

Best Halloween Horror Nights Event in My Opinion



Last year's event was by far the best Halloween Horror Night event I ever experienced in life.   


Mazes 

#1
I loved the setting of the house portrays as a crumbling turn of the century style manor house, infested with ghost, entities, and possessed objects. The room at the end was really bizarre, and the hallway with the rotating tunnel was really well done.      
#2
The iconic monsters of old look really good with the black light strobe effects. 
#3
The setting was very "gothic" in the architecture of the house. I though the gargoyles were really amazing and the way they fly was fantastic.   

#4
I though they did a pretty good job on depicting the monsters and setting of Silent Hill in both movie and game, including the contortionist. 
#5

#6
I though that this was on of the most funniest house ever. With the 3D effects, mutants, interactive gags that you fool around and some cameos of Penn and Teller.
#7
I've never seen the show and I'm not much of a zombie fan. However, they did a good job on the zombies and the scenes from each episode.  


Roaming Hords 

I enjoyed the how they added in roaming hordes of monsters, my favorites were the traditions. The icons spirit of Halloween. The vampires were really portrayed as what they were in folklore. 


Walkers








Vampires

Traditions 




























The Iniquitous 









The Warriors 


The Bill and Ted show wasn't worth it and I didn't find it amusing. But during the dance ending, my dad got covered by an actor playing the heroine form Brave.
