because there's always something scary going on....
This is MUCH harder than we thought it would be! HAY folks met this weekend to decide on the Haunted All Year 2011 Awards. We need another weekend! We think that says a great deal about the quality of haunts in our area. 
But the purpose of Haunted All Year is to keep things scary 365 days a year, so we'll try to continue that. Practically speaking, however, this was the last haunt for 2011. And what a great one! Here's the video. 
We'll be traveling to Haunted Hills Estate tonight, God willing, for their closing event Lights Out tour. This week we'll be deciding on the winners of our first Haunted All Year Awards! We hope your favorite haunt wins! Categories will include Best Actor, Best Cast, Family Fun, New Haunt, Best Sets, Scariest Hayride and many more!
American Horror Story? The new show on FX has stirred up a lot of chatter. I have seen the first three episodes and there is something about it that makes me want to keep watching, even though it is disturbing. It is definitely for adults. There's a lot more than horror going on here. There are a lot of scary moments in the first three episodes and watching Jessica Lange act is always a treat. Look for it on FX at 10:00 pm Eastern on Wednesdays.
If you enjoy creepy podcasts, check out Jim Harold's website. This guy is the bomb! Spooky tales from paranormal experts and personal tales from listeners can be heard from his site. He has also written a book with the material collected from his Campfire podcast. Oddly enough one of my own experiences is included in his book! I had no idea this was true when I started writing this post, believe it or not. I was just searching my email and I caught an email that had gone to spam, saying that a story that I had shared on his Campfire program two years ago, was included in the book! The email was sent back in September and Mr. Harold was offering a free copy of the book to everyone if they wrote back to him by the end of September, so I missed my free copy, but that's okay! I just think it's neat that he put my story in the book!
We have been out haunting for weeks now and have visited eighteen different attractions near Pittsburgh, PA. At the end of the Haunting Season we will be giving out the first ever Haunted All Year Awards. We hope your favorite haunt gets one! We sure have had a blast this season!
