ENTERTAINMENT BUZZ
BOO! Halloweenies , we are coming for YOU,
and there’s lots you can DO!

C’mon, make a costume out
of a trash bag and some
yarn, grab last year’s, get
your cosplay out, or better
still, make a vamp-witch-
automaton by mixing a
bunch of old ones together.
Be whoever you want, or go
as you are (wear a jacket, it’s
chilly), and let’s get SCARED….
Let’s start with the
Castle in the ‘Gee
You knew this was coming,
don’t act surprised. But,
over the past few years,
that big white building with
all the incoming traffic has
added new attractions for
the hallowed weenie in us
all. Having said that, we also
wanted to alert you that some
of the crazy-new attractions
are not included in that all-in-
for-one price. If you want to
truly get in on the experience,
it’s worth the money to
buy a Fright Combo or Fun
Pack (when you buy online,
it appears you get an extra
discount).
One of the new attractions,
the Dark Castle Zombie Hunt,
is pretty dang scary (five
skulls) and your experience
will be enhanced if you
bring friends. You are given
a limited amount of ammo
and you hunt zombies. That’s
it? Well, if you’ve ever seen
“Zombieland” you’ll know the
value of the double-tap and
calisthenics as well as having
a buddy along to have your
back (Twinkies are totally
optional).
There are new vendors for
2017 (and they have some fun
Halloween decorations at the
shops, so don’t run off without
checking out what’s there)
as well as The Celtic Hinge,
where you can test your luck
or try your nerve as you walk
through the gateway into the
scarier parts of the castle
grounds.
The Castle is open Fridays and
Saturdays Sept. 29 through
Oct. 28. Dress for cooler temps
(at least bring a jacket), make
sure you’ve had a decent meal
before you go (they have
snacks and drinks), and wear
good walking shoes. Find out
more about each attraction,
times and prices by visiting

tickets and save some time
