Vampire Apple Treats

Posted by Thrillvania in Haunted House Stories on September 29th, 2014

A great Halloween party can’t be truly ghoulish without Halloween-themed party food. Try these easy and healthful Vampire teeth treats.

You’ll need:

4 apples, 2 Granny Smith and 2 Macintosh. Try to pick apples that are round and have no blemishes on the skin

A bag of slivered almonds

1 Tablespoon of lemon juice

Use a sharp paring knife to core and quarter the apples. Cut a lengthwise wedge from the skin side of each apple quarter, leaving the peel around the wedge. Cut them in a shape so that they look like a pair of lips. Rub the lemon juice on the insides of the cut portions of the apple quarters to prevent discoloration

Poke 5 or 6 slivered almonds into the top and bottom of the cut-out area to make snaggly teeth. Use extra-big pieces of almond to look like fangs.

Enjoy your treats before your spooky visit to Thrillvania Haunted House Park. Who knows what awaits you there?….

What Scares You?

We all have fears. You might be afraid of spiders, snakes…the dentist? One of the most common fears is achluophobia, the fear of darkness. How can you not be afraid of the dark? Imagine what might be lurking in the dark–just waiting to attack. But there are fears so strange, you can’t even imagine! Did you know that arachibutyrophobia means “fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth?” Well, you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Many people suffer from ogyphobia–fear of the bogeyman. And bogeymen have been known to hide under your bed, in the closet or in any shadowy place. On the other hand, if you’re afraid of ghosts, you could say that you have hasmophobia.

Halloween tends to bring out creepy creatures, and lots of people are scared of them. Eeek! If bats frighten you, then you might be a chiroptophobic. What about creatures that are not just creepy, they’re crawly, too? You’ve got herpetophobia.

And don’t forget phobophobia, the fear of phobias. Experience Thrillvania Haunted House Park and see what scares you…..

Halloween characters all around you!

Posted by Thrillvania in Haunted House Stories on September 24th, 2014

Have you ever noticed that some people just naturally seem like Halloween characters? You may know some creepy people, but what if they’re really something else? You may have monsters surrounding you!

Your slacker friend who never gets out of bed until 5pm, and sucks you dry of money, always borrowing it and never paying you back. He might be a vampire.

The tall guy who doesn’t talk a lot. Kinda shuffles, has a really bad haircut. Remind you of Frankenstein?

Your cousin who is always cooking up weird meals and concoctions, and she recites poetry. She’s a witch!

The hairy guy who looks like he could tear you limb from limb. Kind of schizo–he’s a bully sometimes, but then he can be kind of cool . Could he be a weewolf?

That woman who’s afraid of UV rays and covers up in raggedy clothes head to toe, even when it’s 100 degrees outside. She has a lot of kids. She’s a mummy.

Your friend who disappears every so often, and then magically reappears in some totally different place. He’s a ghost.

That girl you’d do anything to avoid. Always wears a hoodie. Just call her the Grim Reaper!

Keep your eyes open for other ghouls!
