2010:What a Monstrous Year!
Ghoul Mourning,Maniacs!
When we got to the end of 2009,I told Kyle Kaczmarcyk that 2010 was going to be great!I didn't know how true that was going to be…
At the start of 2010,Scars Magazine ran a mask giveaway with me.This was the introduction of my "ItsyBitsyBiter" mask.That was fun,as they hooked it into a trivia quiz.
I wrote some jokes and brain teasers for everyone.
I started writing for HorrorNews.Net,spotlighting vintage horror/monster toys and items.Those articles got some nice feedback.It was great to try writing legitimately,
especially for a website.
I wrote some more jokes.People started to really notice.
I started a comicbook script for Kyle's indie comicbook company,Zombie Ink Comics.It's called "Wolff's Run",and is a three book story,with a Werewolf,set in the Prohibition era.
I wrote some song parodies,recorded them,and sent them around.One of which is the beginning sequence to "Lair of the Yak",a webcam horror talk show.Hosts Nick Cato,Cornelius Badmonk,and friends,bring a humorous show for all to enjoy!
Rotting Flesh Radio used my Valentine's song parody in their broadcast.
I wrote some more jokes,and started getting all kinds of responses!
In fact,it wasn't much later,that people started suggesting I start thinking about putting the jokes into a book.Nope,that'll never work!
I was writing the second book for "Wolff's Run",and drawing,running,sculpting.Hit-
ting everything full throttle.
Somehow,I started trading zingers with Lloyd Kaufmann,the
amazing leader of Troma.I really enjoyed doing that,and hope to continue at some point.He's an amazing humorist,and visionary in
independent film.
Speaking of film heroes,Frank Henenlotter(Basket Case,Frankenhooker),enjoyed a bunch of "Basket Case" jokes I wrote.Which is fantastic,be-
cause that film and it's mutant star,Belial,have a special place in my heart.
I wrote some more jokes,and now I'm getting suggestions like crazy,to definitely get a book together.In fact,Nick Cato,went as far as giving a possible title-"Monstermatt's Bad Monster Jokes Vol."Kyle says he has to be the illustrator!!
I'm still skeptical,I'm not an
author.And yet,there may be something to this.A jokebook,with drawings?Mmmmmmmmmmmm…
Enter Monique Snyman,who wrote a gossip column for HorrorNews.Net."The Ten Commandments of Horror".We clocked in at #8-Thou Shalt
Laugh at Thyself".
This was instrumental in getting the word out,that we were searching for a publisher.It had been a little while in our search,and this was hopefully going to do just that.
Well,it did work.We got a publisher,and we were on our way to a book release in the fall.This was just before I was selected as emcee for the first ever Buffalo MonsterFest.
That was a blast!I was telling jokes in front of a couple hundred people,getting groans!Introducing horror films made around the WNY region.I met so many different film makers that night.Plus,some of my favorites,that I was already friends with.
Screamwave podcast started using my audio clips and jokes.I was writing jokes left and right!Kyle was drawing fantastic images to accompany the gags!The editor was working like a madman!
I had a chance to be a Zombie extra,for a film called "Final Night & Day".I showed up with my oldest little monster.She got to be a Zombie,too!We both had a blast!
So,the book came out,following some great coverage from different horror sites,plus a front page article in my hometown newspaper! All that was left,was reviews and sales.
I'll tell you,I was nervous about the reviews.This was my first book,so yeah,I had butterflies.I didn't know how people would perceive it.
The reviews started coming in,and as hard as it is to fathom,people actually dug it!
I got a bunch of feedback about Kyle's artwork,Joe Moe's forward,the jokes,the blurbists!I couldn't believe it!Kyle,my cohort and I were onto something!
We did signings at a comicbook con,by Queen City Book Store.A surprise was a local filmmaker asked permission to have the book in frame during a scene in his movie,"Crimson".We appeared at Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival,by Greg Lamberson and Emil Novak Sr.
This was great,because we met Debbie Rochon,who was a spectacular gal and a good sport!We also appeared at Borders Books,and really got in touch with new readers,and did well enough,that we will be going their again.
I keep trading zingers with Lloyd Kaufmann and Joe Moe.I love every line thrown back and forth.Someday,I'd love to have coffee with these fellas,and zing in person.What a bunch!Sheesh!
I notice that people I know are telling jokes,including my oldest little monster.I've been told I'm influencing people?!I don't know about that,but,you never know.
I make a new mask"The Klownivore",a zombie/clown.I start a graphic novel script "Hell's Salvage",and am going to finish a script called "For Your Abusement.
Unfortunately, in November,we had to leave our former publisher,as did a handful of other writers.This hurt,because things were going so well.It came at a time when readers,fans,and reviewers were starting to really sink their teeth into the book.
I felt bad for the people that were now our fans,and for Kyle who worked so hard on the book.But,we knew it was the right decision.
It was amazing to get people pledging support for us.It really felt like things were going to work out.
We were talking with a handful of possible publishers,and kept coming back to one in particular.After a few weeks,we had an agreement in principal.We just needed contracts.
I couldn't believe it!It felt like lightning struck the same spot twice!I know Kyle was blown away,too!We were just in need of a pinch!
PillHill Press/WestNeb Books is the new publisher,we are currently editing,and getting ready for the re-release of the book.
Thanks to:Kyle for sharing this wonderful journey,and making this a special year!
Thanks to the book blurbists,reviewers,horror sites,friends,family,readers,
fans,Maniacs!You've made this a terrific year,too!
With any luck,2011 will be just as productive and enjoyable!
I hope to see you all real soon!!
Happy New Year!!
Your Fiend,Yours Drool-ly,
Monstermatt Patterson

Meets the first Thursday of the month at 12:30 PM for bag lunches and 1:00 - 2:00 for discussion. The leader will start with a reading or topic, but the conversation can go in any direction. All women are welcome!
Bring your bag lunch and, if you like, a treat to share. After a social time, the topic of discussion will concern a segment of our third UU principle, "acceptance of one another," apropos of not only our current national election dilemma but in our daily discourse with others.

What does a Bishop Do?
A short snapshot of three days
I walk, I talk, I listen. I wish I drove less.
In the last few days, in a non-chronological order, this has been my work. I talked with several different pastors from around our synod. They had various challenges they were facing. One has a staff member who is not playing well with others and this pastor sought advice and counsel on how best to address the matter. We came up with some ideas. Another was facing the challenge of boundaries, not sexual boundaries, but professional. At what point is it appropriate to engage a colleague regarding their behavior? How do we maintain the interests of the church, even when it calls on us to put our friendship with someone at risk? Tough questions. I later heard back from the pastor, and so far so good - but it was not an easy conversation.
I met with a congregation that is in the middle of a call process, but their finances have restricted them to searching for other models of ministry. We discussed part-time pastors, part-time ministers from another tradition, lay leadership, partnering with other congregations. The conversation was honest and open. It reflected the changing times we are in, and the need to think differently about parish ministry.
I walked with someone who had some very creative ideas about how to address the clergy shortage, train a new generation of ministers and offer them an experience in community. The ideas were alive, and fraught with all kinds of landmines, but suggested a new vision that is emerging.
I sat with our deans, leaders of conferences, as we learned the value of how to apply organizing principles to congregational renewal. It was challenging, thoughtful and inspiring. Our speaker framed every single step in a context of Biblical reflections. I saw hope coming to life.
In the office, I sat with our Synod Assembly planning team coordinator. We reviewed details and plans, made lists of tasks to be accomplished along with deadlines. After three hours, I returned to my office exhausted and exhilarated. I then sat and signed 60 some certificates for graduates from our coming School of Lay Ministry, and another 40 plus certificates for deacons and pastors celebrating anniversaries at our coming Assembly.
My hand in a spasm from all the signings, I headed to the car. On the way home, I listened to a pastor as we talked on the phone. She shared her sorrows and disappointments in her work. Her multi-year efforts to teach, preach and visit. Yet, so many in her congregation don't seem to care or value the teachings of Jesus.
Another conversation centered around concerns for people in the LGBTQ+ community. How can we as a church, a synod, and I as bishop, best understand, support, challenge, encourage, celebrate.
Three days. A glimpse into the work I do. In the words of a colleague of mine, "This work is relentless."
True, but it is also good work.

Warnings to be seen, worn and heard continues my exploration into anthropogenic debris investigated through contemporary jewellery objects, worn to raise awareness for the ecological damage caused by that which we discard. The traffic cone and rope were found discarded in coastal environs and remain a symbol of caution, worn to holler concern in aim to encourage change for the way products are designed, manufactured and consumed. As the pendant is carved into, the material removed during this process is retained not only to refrain from creating more waste, but to reference that while discarded human-made materials are often out of sight out of mind they never completely go away, and in a physical or chemical state will remain long after we are gone as the heirlooms we leave behind us.

Q: assalamu alaikum shiekh,
what is the Islamic ruling regarding stem cells and cloning?
Jazakum Allah Khairan
Time: Saturday March 5, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Your question is appreciated.
The benefits of stem cell research and cloning does not outweigh the adverse aspects associated with them both. The following principle must be keenly observed:
The benefit must outweigh the harm for its permissibility.
In the case of stem cell and cloning research we are not able to conclude that the social/medical cost/benefit is superior to its adverse outcome. On the contrary, such research is associated with greater maladies on multiple levels. Such research should be refrained from by those that have alternative choices to such research.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.

Down on the farmLearning doesn't get better (or muddier) than this
A wild, windy, muddy day at Chesterfield Farm was the perfect, practical way for the ELC boys (all 70 of them) to complement their in-centre learning about farm animals, farm-to-table and life cycles.
Although some of the boys fell asleep on the bus on the way to the farm, they were full of excitement on arrival.
There were a number of highlights to the day. In the barn area, the boys had a marvellous time being chased by the shoelace-eating pigs. A tractor ride allowed the boys to see the whole farm and the larger farm animals that live out in the paddocks.
At feeding time, the boys were each given a cup of food and off they went. They laughed hysterically as the camel's huge lips smooched their hands. The emus gave some of us a fright as they pecked our cups to the ground. One of the lamas greeted us with a huge, chewy smile … before spitting at us.
A few boys decided to teach the cockatoo to speak Mandarin. And much to the boys' entertainment, the teachers took part in a milking competition.
The farm visit was a great opportunity for the boys to hear from the farmers, and to connect their learning to real-life experiences in the wider world. With the whole ELC out together (70 boys plus staff and parents), the boys experienced a feeling of total engagement, and a sense of belonging, as we passed each other on our rounds.

Obama Opts Out, Lobbyists Hold Back, and Nuke Components Missing, Among Other Transparency News
Welcome to the Friday edition of the Transparency Recap. Since we last published, the political arena has been bustling with news and happenings. Since it's been a few days since the last recap, we'll try to cover the most impactful events that occurred during the course of the week.
Undoubtedly, one of the biggest issues this week has been the privatization of Obama's campaign finances. According to OpenSecrets' Capital Eye blog, Obama has forgoed more than $80 in public financing "…making him the first major party nominee to reject the taxpayers' grant since the program began in 1976." While Obama insists that the system if broken, McCain (who plans to use the public financing system) is accusing Obama of going back on his word to stay within the public system.
On this same issue, Democracy 21 issued a pointed statement about Obama's decision to privatize:
"We had hoped and expected that Senator Obama would stick with the public pledge he made to accept public financing and spending limits for the presidential general election, if he was nominated, and if his Republican opponent also agreed to accept public financing and spending limits for the general election. These conditions have been met."
This morning, Capital Eye shifted gears and posted a piece that focuses on two of the nation's biggest lobbying firms. These firms -- Cassidy and Associates and Van Scoyoc Associates -- will not "…attend either political party's gathering, sponsor parties or donate to the host committees that organize the four-day fetes." Sure, these big-wigs aren't participating in the aforementioned terms, but the money flow is still coming through:
"What these lobbyists lack in convention participation, they make up for in campaign contributions to federal candidates, committees and parties. Among lobbying firms, Van Scoyoc Associates is the third-ranked contributor in this election cycle, associated with at least $583,000. Cassidy and Associates is right behind with campaign contributions totaling $490,300. Both firms have favored Democrats with about 60 percent of their employees' total contributions."
And if that's not hair-raising enough, according to the Judicial Watch blog, the U.S. military has lost nuclear missile components. According to Judicial Watch,
"A British international business newspaper disclosed this week that a Pentagon investigation found that the Air Force could not account for more than 1,000 sensitive components previously included in its nuclear inventory."
Over on the Sunlight blogs, Ellen Miller coins her own phrase: "Tweetalogue." Over the past few days, she and Rep. John Culberson have been twittering back and forth. The issue at hand? Ample time for government officials -- and citizens -- to read bills before they are voted on. According to Miller (and VoterWatch mirrors this sentiment),
"Sunlight thinks if bills and amendments were actually posted online in advance of votes citizens would have an opportunity to get on the act too."
Over at All Things Whistleblower, John McCain is taking heat for his energy proposal that calls for 45 nuclear energy plants over the next 22 years. From pricing to safety, some individuals have serious problems with the construction of more nuclear power plants. With this said, others see this plan as a step in the right direction -- away from America's current reliance on fossil fuels.
On the POGO blog, focus is centered upon the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008. Signed into law by President Bush on Tuesday, this law "requires foreign subsidiaries of federal contractors to be treated as American companies for tax purposes." Due to the changes it is expected that $850 million in tax revenues will be generated over the next 10 years:
"Some contractors have been creating subsidiary companies in jurisdictions with advantageous tax laws, such as the Cayman Islands, without even conducting any operations there. American workers are technically employed by these subsidiaries, allowing the contractor to avoid paying payroll taxes. These taxes are used to fund programs such as Social Security and Medicare, so other taxpayers end up assuming the burden."

Replace / Remodel Bathroom CabinetsBy administrator On January 28th, 2009
When remodeling your bathroom there are two things you can do – replace your old cabinets with new ones or upgrade your existing ones. If your existing bathroom cabinets are structurally sound and they provide with the space that you need then you don't really have to break the bank doing a bathroom remodel, you can seriously consider the option of refurnishing the bathroom cabinets.
You can start with replacing the cabinet doors; this is something that even Do-It-Yourself remodeling enthusiasts can do. Measure the dimensions of the cabinet that needs upgrading; purchase replacement doors based on those measurements. It is a good idea to purchase finished doors with pre-installed hinges. When you remove the old doors you may wish to add putty to certain areas of the cabinet where there are cracks or holes and sand the surface to rejuvenate it.
Remember to sand in the direction of the grain. You can add varnish or paint it; but remember to maintain consistency with the look of the cabinet doors. Adjust and screw the hinges to fit the cabinet and you're done.
When you decide to do a DIY remodel remember to install the corner cabinets first; this will give you a perspective of the space. If there is any electrical wiring or plumbing to be done, it can be done after you have installed the cabinets; however install flooring before you start the cabinet work. You may save time by labeling parts that arrive unassembled from the manufacturer. If the wall on which you intend to place the cabinets has an uneven surface or some bumps, you need to smoothen the surface first. Fasten cabinets meant for carrying heavier stuff to the wall studs. Use more than two screws that can go inside the wall studs by at least two inches.
Wall studs hidden behind the walls are usually spaced 16" or 24" apart so in order to locate these measure 16" from the corner and then tap the area, the sound should tell you if there is a wall stud behind the wall. Or you can buy a device called a stud finder which emits a beep when it passes by a stud behind the wall. If you have plan and elevation maps of your house, use them to locate wires, plumbing, and other obstructions that may come in the way of installing cabinets in your bathroom.

|Poems Volume 2 | Volume 3 | Volume 4 | Volume 5
|O'Bryant's HOME PAGE
For a long while, almost from the beginning of the time I began to write poetry seriously, I never spent much time thinking of publishing my work or of gaining a wide audience. Some few of my friends and colleagues graciously agreed to read various of my poems, but despite their generally kind and positive comments about them, I resisted the idea of publication. But recently, my thinking has begun to change. Although I would still be surprised if my poetry ever gained a wide popularity, I have decided that it might be fun to at least test the waters of public opinion more deeply than I have heretofore. The current volume is one means of doing so.
Turning Tears Inside Out contains 40 poems composed between 1969 and 1975, seven years of spontaneous and irregular efforts. Since I never aspired to make my living as a poet, all of my poems are written as the mood strikes me. Indeed, months will often go by between one poem and the next, although I often will compose several poems in a bunch when inspiration is upon me. Naturally, not everything I have ever written is included here; poems of a particularly personal nature or those of blatant triviality have been excluded. In some ways this frustrates me, for what I consider to be some of the best verse is often to be be found in poems not yet far enough removed from their subjects to allow them access by a general readership. Nonetheless, in what remains there is still much I consider reasonably good.
I am far from considering myself a great poet (no matter how one defines "greatness"!) and probably am by many standards not even a "good" poet. One might ask, "Why do you write poetry at all?" This is a good question which I am not certain can be satisfactorily answered--at least, not at this stage in my life. Writing in general has always been more or less fun for me. I've been intrigued by words and languages, although I've never really conquered any foreign language. Often, I like just "to turn a phrase", to use words in a sonorous or humorous way. But even more often I write seriously, yet still searching for the unusual juxtaposition or odd description. To me, there is a form of natural rhythm inherent in the English language which I attempt to utilize in my poetry, and in the best poems this subtle rhythm creates a lovely effect in a language not entirely noted for its beauty. I try to avoid novelty for its own sake--too much modern poetry is self-consciously faddish and superciliously obscure. However, none of this really answers WHY I like to write poems.
In fact, I consider myself a much better prose writer than poet. I find it generally tedious to revise and rework, alter and improve my poems. Very often--almost always, in fact--my poetry stands as it was first written. Only relatively recently have I begun to take more time to make revisions and improvements. Perhaps this is poetic maturation.
But again--WHY write a poem in the first place? Well, some things just come out better as poems than as prose. I am a very romantic, sensitive, and idealistic person. This, I'm sure, comes through in many of the poems. It is meant to, either consciously or unconsciously. I do not strive to be either serious or pretentious or ingenuous or subtle or facile or meaningful or relevant or anything else in my poetry. My poetry just IS and must be accepted, as you would a person. I do not believe in obscurity for its own sake (though I can be obscure at times!) nor do I think that every poem must have a high and serious meaning. If it does, fine--but if not, then that too is perfectly alright. My poems generally are rather personal, concerning matters of import to me. This probably limits their appeal and audience, but as I said earlier, I have never thought of trying to establish a huge audience. It is enough if some few persons can read one of my poems and say to him- or herself, "Oh yes, I too have felt this. That's how it is." Though some of my poems are quite dismal and despondent, I would characterize the overall tone of my poetry as cautiously optimistic and hopeful. There is much good in the world and I probably would write about more of it, if my personal life were more satisfying. About writers in general Louis D. Rubin, Jr., has said the following, and I think it would apply to me as well:
Most of them are discontented with the cosmos; if they weren't, and could accept it at face value without having to try to give it order and meaning in language, they wouldn't be writers.
On these pages you will find everything--good, bad, and indifferent--within the limitations spelled out above. Some of it is clumsy, inept, and juvenile. But remember that everyone must begin somewhere and read those pieces for their occasional insights and glimpses of things to come. Here is a unique panorama of development--and I commend it to your attention with the hope that you will find it interesting and insightful into the life of one human individual of the mid-twentieth century in America.
Charlottesville, Virginia
February 1981
Technology has changed considerably since I put together the typed, spiral-bound version of Turning Tears Inside Out in early 1981. There was no World Wide Web then, and I had only a correcting typewriter to work with--not even a word processor! The advent of the Web and the possibility for me to construct a "home page" of my own gives me a new and exciting means of placing my poetry before the public. All but one of the poems included in the 1981 version are included here. I have little to add to my original Preface. I still hope that those of you who read these poems will find things in them that speak to you in ways that perhaps only the heart can truly understand. If you have any comments you would like to share with me, I would be happy to receive them. You may E-mail me at email@example.com.

The English Department have struggled to choose their 'Star' Awards for the end of term, with so many students not only reaching targets, but some achieving beyond. It is always difficult measuring effort, knowing students well enough to know when they have not only consistently put in the effort with class work and independent study, but knowing those who do this without any reminders or pushing! This summer, we have been proud to award these Certificates of Achievement to Kiera Johnson and Tyler White in Year 8 and Anna Derham and Joshua Harland in Year 7. All students received gift books, bookmarks and certificates. Well done also to all those students who consistently work hard in English – you know who you are – and we are proud of you all!

To commemorate last week's launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, we sat down with Rob Hendry of Ideaworks, the UK developers in charge of converting the cult classic Zombies game mode to mobile. In the following, he takes us through the ideas and development behind the latest iOS title.
The first Zombies mobile title you released was based on World at War Zombies. What have you learned since then, and how has recent technology improved the features of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies app?
We definitely learned that there's a market for authentic console experiences on mobile and that players show a lot of interest for those mobile offerings if you can execute your game the right way. With the original World at War Zombies mobile title, we were in the Top 5 on iTunes for nearly six months.
Our start position for the new game was to take Black Ops Zombies to the next level and build on the success of the original game. Some areas we've improved are quite subtle, such as the collision system, AI and path-finding, which adds to the authentic feel of the iOS game in relation to the console experience.
We also had really good feedback from community members on improvements they would like to see, particularly the controls. I think we've responded to that feedback and made big improvements which we hope will be really apparent to players in the new game. Improving controls for both the handset and tablet has been a key focus. The iPad controls in particular have been significantly improved this time around and make it a much more satisfying experience on tablet. Adding sprint and crouch were also heavily requested from players, as they add an extra tactical dimension to the mobile game.
From a technology standpoint, we've re-written the game to accommodate the scale and scope of the new Black Ops console maps. It has been a big challenge to balance performance and quality considerations, and we shifted our hardware to unlock much higher detail and visual quality levels. We also added depth to our tools to support bigger maps with complex collision. Also, having greater CPU bandwidth opens up intensive features like 4-way voice chat which is a really cool new feature in Black Ops Zombies iOS.
The game also utilizes two asset sets dependent on your device - one for 3GS/iPad 1 and another for the higher spec devices. If you have an iPhone 4/4s or iPad2, you'll see we've really been able to improve the overall graphical fidelity of the game and maintain performance, even when you have a serious number of zombies on screen.
Where did the idea to bring Zombies to mobile originally come from?
We first met with Activision at GDC in 2009 and discussed the potential to take Zombies to mobile and what that would take to make that happen. As a studio we've always had a strong focus and a lot of experience in bringing high complexity, performance-based games to the mobile market.
The cornerstones of our early design and production discussions with Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia, and the Activision team was to ensure we could bring an authentic and accessible adaptation of Zombies console to the mobile market. These conversations were key in aligning our vision and developing a great working relationship and understanding of the pillars on which we developed the game.
What sort of challenges, if any, did you face in converting the larger Black Ops Zombies maps to mobile platforms?
Simply, the new maps are way bigger, more complex and much more detailed environments than in World at War Zombies. Also, major engine players like id and Epic entered the fray and raised visual expectations for everyone.
We've tried to respond to that challenge without sacrificing gameplay for better graphics. That's always the challenge when working to the edge of mobile device capabilities while making the game accessible to the broadest range of devices, and of course players who want to experience the game. To accomplish this, we really had to redesign our workflow to produce content on this scale in pretty much the same timeframe we had available for the original game's development.
How involved was the original Zombies development team with the mobile process?
Mark Lamia was the original torchbearer for the product and the Treyarch team had lots of visibility and also provided great input during development. We've built a really good relationship with the Treyarch and Activision teams over the last couple of years, and we've had more freedom to drive development decisions this time around based on the trust we built from the original development.
Any closing thoughts or stories you'd like to share?
I think one of the cool things on this development was getting really good input from Dave King at Treyarch, the 'Silverback Consultant' who originally created Dead Ops and helped us on the underlying game mechanics and how we were adapting DOA for mobile. I know our design team got a real kick out of having that kind of input during development.
Looking down the road a little we've got upcoming maps and they are looking really cool. Ascension is coming and we're working on some interesting ideas with Treyarch and Activision on special mobile-specific content like new weapons and content made exclusively for iOS, much like the Peter's Grave Easter Egg in the Shi No Numa map, where players could dig up and use his prized Wunderwaffe with special shovels; that was a great and unique bonus for iOS players.
I'm excited about how the community will react to the new game. I hope the players out there love playing Black Ops Zombies as much as we've enjoyed developing the game here at Ideaworks!
Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies is available now in the App Store!

October's the only time of year when people applaud you for showing up to a party with an ax in your head. It's an entirely themed month, in which normally mousy drugstores fill with Dracula puppets shriek-laughing like the Count on an endless loop, and when fun-sized Snickers constitute legit breakfast. It's also the best time of year to step beyond mere horror movies to try and scare yourself silly, just 'cause you can.
Every state has its spooky spots, whether an annual haunted attraction, a legitimately haunted place, or just an uncomfortably eerie spot in nature. And now, right now, 'tis the season to go to 'em. Old mental hospitals, valleys filled by ghosts, theme park fright houses, cemeteries, historic hotels -- no matter how you scare, your state has a place to freak you out. We hit up our team of travel writers across the country, and they told us the most haunted places and best spots in each state to live the scary story you've waited all year to experience.
Levels Unlocked Pub Is Washington DC's Newest Pop-Up Where You're Transported Into Your Favorite Video Game
Atrox Factory
Haunted houses where off-duty college kids dress up like Jason Voorhees and jump out at you aren't a bad time -- but they're much cooler when the dude who played Jason in the movies is there. This 50,000-square-foot scare box is the largest haunted attraction in the southeast (outside Florida), with a quarter-mile of hallways full of terrifying stuff. What really sets it apart is the lineup of horror celebs who attend, which this year includes Buffy the Vampire Slayer's James Jude Courtney on October 26th and 27th. It's open until November 3, 6:30pm to 10pm during the week, 6:30pm to midnight Fridays and Saturdays. General admission is $20. -- Matt Meltzer
The Alaskan Hotel
If you're not into scaring yourself with a long, dark walk through bone-cold and ONLY ONE MATCH, well, good, fine, just scare yourself in the fully heated, bear-free Alaskan Hotel, the state's oldest operating hotel and a legendary haunted spot. The most famous ghost to roam these halls is that of a gold miner's wife who lived here while waiting for her husband to return. When he didn't, she began supporting herself by working as a prostitute... until he did return. Not exactly thrilled with her new career choice, he killed her, and now guests and staff regularly report encounters (no, not like that) with her ghost. -- MM
Yuma Territorial Prison
Ask yourself whether, during the westward expansion, you'd want to be locked up in anything called a "territorial prison," and then jump ahead a hundred years to you haunting the hell out of the place if, like 100+ inmates, you'd died inside those walls. Not one to shy from a rep of locking people into hot, dark places, Arizona has designated this a state historical park -- easily one of the creepiest in the nation, and one of the most haunted spots in AZ. Guides report feeling chills when they pass Cell 14, where an inmate doing time for "crimes against nature" killed himself. In the so-called dark cell, prisoners in pitch-black solitary went mad chained to ring-bolts in the walls. -- Lauren Topor
The Arlington Hotel
Hot Springs
Long reputed to be haunted, this grand, 93-year-old hotel is a fine place to let your imagination run wild. It's so big and so old and so ornate, it's probably where you'd choose to stay a while if you were a ghost, too. History weighs on the place, as well as on your mind: four presidents have stayed here, plus Babe Ruth and Al Capone. Outside, the old-timey lamplights guide your walk through the Downtown spring-fed spas that draw visitors to this resort town. Echoing against stone buildings and set against a backdrop of steep, inky forest, even the burbling fountains sound ghostly and ominous. -- Sam Eifling
Heaven's Gate mass suicide site
Rancho Santa Fe
The golf course-strewn San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe regularly makes "most expensive zip codes in the USA" lists. So came a stunner in 1997, when the world learned it was home to Heaven's Gate, a cult whose 39 members drank poisoned Kool-Aid as the Hale Bopp comet passed Earth, believing that aliens behind the comet would rapture their souls to Heaven. Even weirder than the mass suicide was their preparations: their bodies were found dressing in black sweatshirts and sweatpants, Nike sneakers, faces covered with purple cloth, and carrying $5.75 in one pocket -- a toll, people speculated, to catch a ride on the comet. Each member had taken shifts, serving vodka and phenobarbital cocktails and tying plastic bags over fellow members' heads before submitting to the ritual themselves. The group's founder, Marshall Applewhite, took his own life only after making sure everyone else was dead.
The grisly death pact took place in a multi-million-dollar mansion, later torn down after the property became a macabre tourist attraction. The town also changed the street name from Colina Norte to Paseo Victoria. The still-vacant lot remains a pilgrimage site. Visitors can also check out an exhibit dedicated to the cult suicide at the San Diego Sheriff's Museum in Old Town. -- Jackie Bryant
The Stanley Hotel
Estes Park
If you've read or seen The Shining, you'll know the feel of this often snowbound hotel: It's the location Stephen King based his Overlook Hotel upon. It may not look like the film -- unless you watched the 1990s made-for-TV movie version, which was actually shot here -- but it holds are rumors of haunted rooms and service workers who still wander the grounds. Be warned: There's a much more sinister danger. The hotel has such an extreme elevation that just walking to your room can drain you, so one stiff drink may have you seeing ghosts. -- Brock Wilbur
Curtis House Inn
Fearsome celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay once featured Connecticut's oldest inn on his appropriately-titled reality show Hotel Hell, bringing a paranormal investigator to corroborate what locals and visitors have been claiming for centuries: the joint's haunted. Ramsay's unsettling difficulty exiting his room during a five-day stay could have been due to faulty hardware, but try telling that to the guests who've reported disembodied voices, mysterious footsteps, and unwelcome otherworldly bedfellows throughout the inn's 264-year history. Apparent entities are believed to be the former inn owners, guests, and -- perhaps most terrifying for anyone who works there -- former employees who clocked in, but never clocked out. -- Amber Sutherland-Namako
Fort Delaware
Delaware City
Civil War prisons were a particularly unpleasant place to be incarcerated back in the 1860s, what with the rampant gangrene, amputations, and war-induced psychosis. The spirits of the beleaguered Confederate soldiers interned at this former Union prison are said to haunt the imposing granite-and-brick behemoth, that sits a short ferry ride from Delaware City on Pea Patch Island. During October weekends, the Diamond State Ghost Investigators lead a three-hour tour of the fort at 6:30pm and 9:30pm, where you'll use ghost-sensing equipment to search for paranormal activity. Tickets are $50. -- MM
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios
It reasons that a movie studio would be pretty good at making haunted houses. That's why the most immersive and realistic haunted houses in America are the ones at Universal Studios on Wednesday-Sunday nights from September to early November. They're full-on sound stages made to look like the sets from different TV and movie themes (this year's is American Horror Story) with actors in elaborate makeup and costumes leaping out at unexpected times. Universal also deploys half-decaying and mentally deranged characters to run up and scream at visitors as they navigate the half-lit park. Floridians may find this no different than an average afternoon walking to Publix, but for tourists, it can be downright terrifying.
The sounds, smells, and visual effects make the $84 weekend admission worth it. Crowds can be enormous, so if you have more money than patience, opt for the Express Pass. It'll zip you to the front of the line and allow you to see more than three or four houses during your visit. -- MM
Oakland Cemetery
Everyone loves an old, eerie cemetery, especially one steeped in Civil War history. Built in 1850, Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery -- the city's oldest, largest cemetery, and among the most haunted places in Georgia -- is home to Maynard Jackson, Bobby Jones, and Margaret Mitchell, among many others. The cemetery includes a Confederate branch where visitors insist they've seen uniformed soldiers wandering the grounds and even hanging off of trees. Creep in as far as you dare, but be warned: Some have alleged that they've heard Confederate Army roll call among the tombstones and sworn that their name was called amid the list. -- Amy Schulman
Waipio Valley
Big Island
Ahhh, Hawaii. Home to fiery luaus where island dancers welcome you with pounding drums, native chants, and blazing torches. All of which are awesome when those dancers are actually alive. Not so awesome when they're ghosts of ancient warriors marching through the islands armed to the teeth. But those are the night marchers, legendary spirits who roam the islands at in an eternal march to battle. Most longtime locals have stories about encountering them, mostly in specific spots spread throughout the islands. The creepiest is the Waipio Valley on the northern shore of Hawaii. Though the park has some of the most scenic lookouts in the state, the pounding beats and chants of the night marchers echo especially loudly through the valley when the night marchers decide to join you for a hike. -- MM
The Silverwood amusement park north of Coeur d'Alene turns into the largest haunted attraction in Idaho every weekend night in October. It's home to five haunted houses with live actors and movie-quality visual effects, this year including a 3-D attraction set in an old asylum. Like a smaller Universal Studios, it has six "scare zones" themed around creepy phobias like Clown Town, the Dollhouse, and Scarecrow Corner. Your admission ($28 to $45) includes all of Silverwood's rides, including the celebrated wooden roller coaster, Tremors. -- MM
Raven's Grin Inn
Mount Carroll
Have you ever wanted to wander through the mind of a madman? The owner of this haunted nook, the name of Jim Warfield, is mad in all the right ways. He's turned his house -- he does actually live there -- into a maze of his spooky art, prop gags, and a not-so-safe-but-exhilarating three-story slide into the haunted wine cellar. You'll laugh as much as you scream as he guides you through his ever-changing life's work. Fall is the busiest time of year, naturally, but Raven's Grin is open year-round for when the spirited mood strikes in April. There's not much else to do in tiny Mount Carroll, so plan a pit stop at the corner bar before you venture inside. Tours are $15 and no reservations are necessary, though there may be a wait during the busy season. -- Lacey Muszynski
Historic Hannah House
This 24-room mansion hosts a range of ho-hum events: Easter egg hunts, Civil War reenactments, weddings, corporate gatherings. It's also reputed to be haunted as a mutha. We're talking disembodied footsteps; cold spots; weird noises; strange smells ranging from roses to rotting flesh; shadowy shapes darting about; and a man in a black suit suspected to be the structure's builder and namesake, Alexander Hannah. Oh, and the unquiet spirits of a group of runaway slaves who reportedly died there in a basement fire. Regular tours are available, and there's even a Hannah House Paranormal Day Celebration, which for some reason takes place in August instead of October. But that's OK. Because if the stories are even a wee bit true, every day is Paranormal Day at Hannah House. -- Sam Stall
Villisca Ax Murder House
For a truly one-of-a-kind night away, book in at the Villisca Ax Murder House, the aptly named home where eight people were ax-murdered in their sleep, back in 1912. The case is still unsolved, but the main suspect was a traveling minister who had taught at a nearby church that night and left town early next morning. Tours and overnight stays are offered in the very rooms that were the scene of a bloody massacre -- you'll probably get the best sleep of your life, right? -- AS
Stull Cemetery
Locals know this tiny cemetery in an unincorporated Kansas township as a portal to Hell that the devil comes through twice a year. As outlandish as that sounds, the ruins of a nearby church and the bizarre architecture will have you half-believing the rumors. No Satanic sightings have been confirmed, and anyone caught trespassing in the private cemetery can face a $1,000 fine. But that only makes it a more appealing dare for the jumpy teens and courageous stoners looking to make the trip. Twice, in my case. -- BW
Sauerkraut Cave
While it got its name because it once served as a fermenting cavern for sauerkraut, Sauerkraut Cave earned its legend because it was located beneath the Lakeland Asylum for the Insane, an institution marred by accusations of overcrowding and mistreatment of patients. The cave beneath the now-razed asylum is believed to have been an occasional escape route for inmates, but there are also rumors of bodies being buried there and the cave being used as a discarding place for infants born in the asylum. Strange visions and ghostly voices have been reported by many who have explored it; find it behind the archery range in E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park. Guided tours are offered, but you can use your own judgment. -- Kevin Gibson
St. Roch Chapel, Yellow Fever Shrine
New Orleans
In the 19th century, a yellow fever epidemic swept New Orleans, but Reverend Peter Thevis, the pastor of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, had a plan. He prayed to St. Roch (who is most identified with good health and healing), asking for members of his parish to be shielded from the disease, and promising to build a shrine for the saint in gratitude. While 40,000 New Orleanians died in the epidemic, no one in Father Thevis' community perished. Today, pilgrims still visit the St. Roch Chapel, leaving offerings around the shrine. Among the artifacts: children's polio braces, crutches, rows of prosthetic legs, plaster feet, false teeth, and fake eyeballs -- in other words, it's a true-life haunted house. The chapel is currently being restored and will be reopened on March 29, 2019. -- AS
Mount Hope Cemetery
You know who grew up in Maine? Stephen King. Aka the dude who wrote Pet Sematary, which makes it no surprise the 1989 film adaptation was filmed here. For extra scares, watch the movie before a nighttime stroll through this creepy 181-year-old cemetery and see if you can find the spot where Gage was buried. On the way, you'll see some of the first Civil War monuments ever constructed, and grave markers that date back to 1836. If you're not skeeved enough yet, Bangor is also the location of King's house, fronted by wrought iron gates decorated with bats. Both are part of several Stephen King tours, which take you to sites around Bangor that inspired his novels. -- MM
Coffin Rock
Near Burkittsville
The Blair Witch Project, one of the creepiest films in low-budget Hollywood history, still pulls tourists to Burkittsville, Maryland. To find where most of the film was shot, though, you need to head into Black Hills Forest about 20 minutes west of town to find Coffin Rock. It's a large flat rock near a creek in the middle of the woods. And in history, it's where a Maryland search party went missing in 1886 in an attempt to find missing 8-year-old Robin Weaver. The kid eventually returned to town; the search party did not. A second search party found disemboweled bodies, bound at the hands and feet, on Coffin Rock. Those bodies later vanished when the search party returned with backup help. Local legend attributes all of this to the so-called Blair Witch. You can, of course, retrace those steps in history … just bring a flashlight and a good pair of running shoes. -- Tim Ebner
Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast
Fall River
You've likely heard the children's rhyme: "Lizzie Borden took an ax / Gave her mother 40 whacks / When she saw what she had done / She gave her father 41." Well, you can not only visit the scene of that famous 1892 double homicide, you can also sleep at the Bordens' home, eat their last meal (Johnnycakes -- a thick, cornmeal pancake -- and eggs), and spend the night in the bedroom where the body of Lizzie's stepmother Abigail was found. After a stay there, I can attest: This home painstakingly furnished to look exactly as it did on the morning of the murders will creep you right out. Daytime tours accommodate lame-o wusses. Better, though, the 175-year-old property hosts up to 20 overnight guests, one of whom will invariably pull out the house ouija board after the evening guide departs and try to contact Lizzie. I did not sleep a wink. -- Camille Dodero
South Manitou Island
If there's one island that comes packed with its very own creepy legends and haunting history, it's South Manitou Island, 16 miles offshore from the Leelanau Peninsula. Featuring 300-foot sand dunes, deserted shoreline, and empty campgrounds, it's about as terrestrially creepy as you can get in Michigan. One legend suggests that a ship of cholera-stricken passengers stopped at the island, and sailors buried them in a mass grave while some were still alive. If that alone doesn't stir you to set sail to the island, there are two cemeteries, a cedar forest where unbodied voices are often heard, and off the coast is the shipwreck of the SS Francisco Morazan, where a young boy is rumored to have died after an attempt at exploring it on his own. Fair warning to all who seek refuge. -- AS
Forepaugh's Restaurant
St. Paul
Forepaugh's occupies a 19th-century Victorian house with a look that makes you think, "That thing looks haunted as all get-out." Well, yup. Joseph Forepaugh, the original tenant, was quite attracted to a maid named Molly. When his wife found out, he cut off the relationship. Molly, who was pregnant, hung herself from a third-floor chandelier. Soon after, Joseph went for a walk and shot himself. Now, their home is a restaurant beset with accounts of flickering lights, rearranged furniture, cold chills, and unexplained noises. In the house's nine dining rooms, Molly is said to sidle up near new brides, while Joseph prefers the confines of the cellar. Once a quarter the New American fine dining hub gives into the ghost hunters and holds a night of presentations from paranormal investigators. This year it's also throwing a Halloween bash, with a 1920s circus theme and performers in every room. -- Dustin Nelson
University of Mississippi Medical Center
This gothic-ass state loves scary legends -- the devil roaming Delta crossroads, ghosts haunting the mansions in Natchez -- but a very real site of horror resides here in Jackson. Back in 2014, construction workers beginning a parking lot came across a mass grave of about 7,000 former Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum residents, buried around the turn of the century. The asylum closed more than 80 years ago, but it wasn't uncommon in those days to inter deceased patients together in unmarked graves. Estimating that the cost for outside contractors to remove and rebury the remains would cost an extra $21 million or so, officials decided to let them rest in peace until they can exhume the bodies through university channels and build a historical center where the parking lot would have stood. Until then, it's one hell of a spooky place to pay your respects to the anonymous thousands of dead. -- Andrew Paul
Main Street
St. Charles
This multicolored main drag looks like the perfect setting for a Midwestern horror movie: charming, peaceful Main Street USA that's actually haunted by dozens of roaming spirits. The legend dates to 1853, when the old Borromeo Cemetery was moved and a number of the graves they dug up had no bodies in them. Those spirits are rumored to haunt the shops at 700 South Main Street, where objects vanish inexplicably and mysterious cooking smells emerge -- as does, apparently, a deep French-speaking voice. The town is also home to a haunted community college, a haunted high school, and a haunted forest. -- MM
The Fairweather Inn
Virginia City
If you've ever been borderline homicidal because the kids in the next hotel room won't shut the hell up, steer clear of the Fairweather Inn. The lone hotel in this former gold mining town is said to be haunted by the ghosts of children who get into all manner of shenanigans. They move your luggage, turn the lights on and off, and generally annoy the bejeezus out of you. The city's now-closed Bonanza Inn was also said to be haunted -- by the ghost of an old nun, who was presumably better-behaved. -- MM
Seven Sisters Road
Otoe County
We all get mad at our family members. Most of us get over it and just get them crappy Christmas presents. We do NOT, however, take all seven of our daughters out to separate hills and kill them, as one deranged Nebraska man did over a century ago. The road that runs between the site of each gruesome crime is marked as County Road L on the map, but colloquially it's named after the sisters who died there. Cars driving through routinely report headlights going dim, or electrical systems failing completely, leaving their cars stalled in the eerie darkness, with the screams of young women echoing through the hills. Perfect choice for a pleasant drive on All Hallows' Eve. -- MM
Bonnie Screams
Las Vegas
About 30 minutes from the strip, old Bonnie Springs Ranch serves as a 115-acre Western-themed amusement park, a reproduction of this former mining community full of "historic" buildings like an opera house, saloon, schoolhouse, and wax museum. Touristy reproductions, sure, but this settlement is still more than a century and a half old... and legitimately haunted. Reported apparitions include a little girl in the schoolhouse, shadows in the opera house, and figures in the wax museum moving on their own (to the extent that staff decided to nail them to the floor). Every Halloween the buildings are converted into creepy haunted houses as part of Bonnie Screams, the Ranch's fully immersive "haunted ghost town" experience complete with zombie paintball. Tickets are $30. -- Nicole Rupersburg
New Hampshire
Fright Kingdom
You might not expect to find one of the most elaborate haunted houses in America in such a tiny town, but the 65,000-square-foot Fright Kingdom is up there with any Halloween attraction you'd find in a major city. The scare fest includes themed attractions like the Psycho Circus (maniacal clowns!) and Apocalypse Z (undead zombies!). It also rocks a monster-themed midway, making a trip here more like a giant Halloween carnival than a mere haunted house. It's open Friday-Sunday through November 3 and on Halloween; general admission starts at $25. -- MM
New Jersey
The Devil's Tree
181 Mountain Road, Basking Ridge
Out of context, the tree's silhouette alone is enough to inspire nightmares: a warped, half-dead oak looming in the middle of a lonely field, with dozens of ax marks lining its trunk. Then there's the gruesome history. A purported meeting place for the KKK, notorious suicide site and rumored gateway to the depths of hell, the Devil's Tree is infamous among locals and has evolved into a chilling tourist attraction. Legend has it, anyone who harms the tree will suffer swift and violent retribution -- so naturally, it has become a tradition for ballsy teens across the Garden State to pee on its trunk. But do so at your own risk -- you might just lose your life (or your manhood) to the tree's sinister curse. Also, that's just unsanitary. -- AS-N
New Mexico
Meow Wolf's House of Eternal Return
Santa Fe
When the guy who created Game of Thrones puts a trippy, neon-filled psychedelic art installation in an old 20,000-square-foot bowling alley, that's the spot you wanna spend Halloween. Rather than being, like, zombies-and-werewolves terrifying, this immersive funhouse relays the story of a suburban family slipping through the space-time continuum; visitors navigate a series of wormholes that transport them into "alternate dimensions." There'll be costume contests, live music, spooky screenings, and more. Tickets start at $25. -- MM
New York
United States Military Academy
West Point
If the Tudor-style architecture and all-around dismal creepiness of this campus don't give you the heebie-jeebies, then the school's reported ghost sightings will. Back in 1972, cadets claimed to have seen a ghost in an antiquated school uniform, roaming around Room 4714 -- a room no longer in use. Other ghost stories have made their way into the school's colloquial chatter, most notably the ghost of former superintendent Colonel Thayer's Irish maid, Molly, who haunts the basement of Quarters 100, tousling the bedcovers in an otherwise orderly room, and borrowing and moving guests' possessions. -- AS
North Carolina
The Biltmore Estate
The largest private residence in the entire country is of course housing some ghosties up in those 135,280 square feet. The former vacation home of George Washington Vanderbilt II is now considered one of the most haunted places in North Carolina. George himself has been spotted chilling in the library, and his late wife Edith wanders around calling out his name. There's also a headless orange cat roaming the gardens, echoes of laughter and and splashing water in the empty pool, and disembodied voices heard throughout the 250 rooms. A day pass to visit the grounds starts at $40, with overnight options available. -- KP
North Dakota
The Haunted Fort
When you suffer one of the most famous military defeats in US history, there's only one thing to do: go back home and brood about it, even after you're dead. That's one possible explanation for the paranormal activity around the Custer House -- of Last Stand fame -- at Ft. Abraham Lincoln. Staffers have reported hearing strange voices and footsteps coming from within after dark. But during weekends in October, it serves as the finest haunted attraction in North Dakota. Visitors start at the house (where monsters and ghosts pop out from every corner), then move through a granary of creepy clowns and barracks filled with zombies; you may be instructed to lie down in your own grave. Tickets start at $15 on Fridays and $18 on Saturdays. -- MM
Ohio State Reformatory
Ohio has its fair share of creepy shit, but this massive stone castle is basically hell disguised as Hogwarts. The majestically spired campus housed over 200,000 inmates over its history from 1896-1990. A tour through here on a normal day is grim, but during scare season it transforms into the biggest prison-based haunted attraction in America: Escape From Blood Prison. The cells and hallways are filled with undead inmates and faucets dripping blood, turning the already creepy reformatory into a bona fide nightmare. It runs Thursday-Sunday from October 12 to November 5, and costs $20 and up. -- MM
Hex House
This intense immersive haunted attraction is based on a disturbing true story from the 1940s, when a woman named Carolann Smith mind-controlled two young women into living in her unheated basement, doing her bidding, and giving her all their money. Smith's brick house became a popular Halloween destination in Tulsa until it was torn down in the 1970s. Hex House takes that tale and runs with it, with hair-raising special effects designed to put you in a hypnotic trance. It runs through November 3rd, mostly weekends and Halloween. Admission starts at $25. -- MM
Timberline Lodge
Mt. Hood
Though the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado is the infamous inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining (see above), Stanley Kubrick's movie adaptation used this family-friendly ski resort in Mt. Hood as the exterior of the terrifying Overlook Hotel. For fans of the macabre, a night spent in Room 217 definitely belongs on your bucket list (even though the movie depicted a nonexistent room 237, at the hotelier's request). There's no murderous hedge maze or elevators filled with blood, but anyone who's ever seen those twin girls in their nightmares will be scared silly here. Or at the very least get a good "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" selfie at the special setup in the lobby. -- MM
Eastern State Penitentiary
Known locally as ESP (already a creepy touch), the 1829 prison intended to value reform over punishment, at a time when Puritanical America was embracing the penitent foundation of the penitentiary. Instead, this became a real house of horrors and the testing location for a number of "reform" techniques that included paranoia-inducing "panopticon" oversight, now synonymous with a constant threat of surveillance. The mix of weird science, gigantic brutal architecture, and famous inmates like Al Capone and bank robber Willie Sutton serves as a perfect staging ground for the nighttime haunted tours. If that doesn't do it for you, there's plenty of other haunts in PA to freak you out. -- BW
Rhode Island
Fortress of Nightmares
For six days in October, the winding tunnels below the historic Fort Adams become one of the most realistic scary attractions in New England. Wandering through dark, zombie-filled passages is enough to keep anyone terrified until Thanksgiving, but Fortress of Nightmares has now upped the ante with virtual-reality. Paranormal360 puts you inside an eight-minute horror movie, with real-life effects to enhance the experience. You'll need a separate ticket, on top of the $15 for general admission. -- MM
South Carolina
Daufuskie Island
The southern barrier islands
This little island near Hilton Head bills itself as "the island with no bridge," which is charming by day and downright panic-inducing by night. Once the sun goes down, the roads become a dark maze through a towering forest of pines, oaks, and spooky spanish moss -- and no bridge means no escape. The screech of cicadas deafens you, and each turn you make on your golf cart (the only vehicles allowed on the island) feels like it could lead you into a corner of the swamp from which you'll never return. Daufuskie does naturally what swamp-themed haunted houses around the country try to recreate. Minus the zombies. Hopefully. -- MM
South Dakota
Terror in the Dark Haunted House
Rapid City
The state favorite for the last 20 years, Terror in the Dark is only open for a handful of days each year (ending on October 29 this year). It's the largest haunted house in the Black Hills region, and is now (literally) bigger and better than ever -- 12,000 square feet of ghouls, ghosts, zombies, and vampires lurking in fog-filled halls. There's also a maze, in case you would like to stay here forever. Tickets are $10 ("The only thing that won't scare you is our prices!!") and all proceeds go to charity. -- KM
The Bell Witch cave
Every kid in Tennessee grows up scared of the Bell Witch, daring each other at sleepovers to say "I hate the Bell Witch" 100 times in front of the bathroom mirror to summon her malevolent spirit. In the early 19th century, "Kate" the Bell Witch ghost tormented the Bell family in Adams, Tennessee, residing in a cave behind their property. Besides pinching, pulling hair, and taunting their visitors with strange sounds, she repeatedly tried to choke patriarch John Bell. For 12 bucks you can tour the spooky cave, which has been placed on the National Historical Register, and according to the tour guides visitors have felt sensations of being pushed, touched, or held down by a heavy weight. The famous haunting even spooked Andrew Jackson when he visited: "By the Eternal, I saw nothing, but I heard enough to convince me that I'd rather fight the British than to deal with this torment they call the Bell Witch." -- Chris Chamberlain
Yorktown Memorial Hospital
Yorktown (about 75 miles from San Antonio)
For Texas scares this Halloween, you have options: take a turn through one of the Texas Chainsaw-themed haunted houses in Houston, see the Marfa Lights (they're aliens, 100%), or have a drink with the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt in the Menger Hotel bar. Or, if you're really serious, visit Yorktown Memorial Hospital, abandoned since 1988 and one of the most haunted places in Texas. Over 2,000 patients died there, and old beds, gurneys, mirrors, chairs, and other medical equipment are still inside. Visitors have described inexplicable apparitions, whispers, shadowy figures in the hallways, wheelchairs rolling unpushed, and a particularly terrifying talking doll in the nursery that asks, "Do you love me?" So um. Go check it out! The owner allows for regular tours and paranormal investigations. -- Keller Powell
Castle of Chaos
Until 1998, the Utah State Mental Hospital in Provo hosted an annual haunted house staffed by actual patients -- but that was rightfully deemed "barbaric" and "dehumanizing." These days, people in Utah get their creepy kicks at the Castle of Chaos in Midvale, the only completely underground haunted attraction in the state. It's a labyrinth of vampires, zombies, disorienting fog and escape rooms -- and you can choose from five levels of fear, the way you choose how spicy you want your burrito. It's open every night through November 3rd; tickets start at $25. -- MM
Nightmare Vermont
Essex Junction
Until they find a way to create a haunted Ben & Jerry's factory, the best place to scare yourself in Vermont is this haunted house/escape room/live-stage-combat combination. This year's theme is lockdown in a notorious women's prison, where the mission is to escape the evil forces afoot. There to help (or hinder) you are monsters, zombies, and other frightening folks. The last show of the year (October 27th) is called "Extra Bloody Night," -- expect to leave covered in fake hemoglobin. Tickets start $13 if you get 'em in advance. -- MM
Bacon's Castle
There's no shortage of spooky and sinister places to visit in Virginia -- after all, old battlefields are some of the most haunted grounds anywhere. But if it's a haunted house you're after, Bacon's Castle -- built in 1665 and the oldest brick home in the country -- is it. People have reported encountering disembodied voices and wails, floating heads, books flying off shelves, rockers a'rocking, and unwanted visitors being pushed around. In addition to regular tours, the castle hosts Historic Haunt Nights when you can take a candle-lit ghost hunt with the Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation. The final one is October 27th; tickets are $30. -- KP
Northern State Mental Hospital
The abandoned remains of this old farm, once home to as many as 2,700 mental patients, is one of the creepiest places in Washington. The self-sustaining asylum ran from 1912 to 1973 and had a lumber mill, a library, a greenhouse, a bakery, canning facilities, and other amenities. Now it's essentially a ghost town. Remnants of the buildings are said to be haunted by patients who died during trans-orbital lobotomies. Some buildings are still in use and off-limits, but you can view the shells of others and an adjacent cemetery at any time. The isolated compound is a short distance off Highway 20 -- the perfect spot for a late-night Halloween walkabout. -- MM
Washington, DC
Congressional Cemetery
1801 E Street SE
Capitol Hill's Congressional Cemetery dates all the way back before the Civil War and serves as the final resting site for tons of government honchos, including a vice president, Supreme Court justice, six cabinet members, 19 senators, and 71 representatives. The first director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, and Marine Corp band director John Philip Sousa are also on the premises. You can visit the cemetery during its 9 to 5 business hours, or better yet attend a spooky "Soul Stroll." The guided tours are offered at twilight and 10pm on the weekends before Halloween, and VIP ticket holders get to drink in a Prohibition-style speakeasy that's popping up in the cemetery's main vault. -- TE
West Virginia
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Known these days as the Weston State Hospital, this massive gothic asylum housed many of West Virginia's mentally ill from 1864 to 1994. Though designed for 250 people, it once held 2,400. That kind of overcrowding made for some truly miserable souls, many of whom are purported to still haunt the hospital. Paranormal tours of the main building are offered at all hours, but for the spookiest Halloween activity in West Virginia, do an overnight ghost hunt. You'll arrive at 10:30pm, stay 'til 5am, and spend the whole night roaming the halls. Overnight tours are available on October 31, November 2, and November 3. -- MM
The Pfister Hotel
When a bunch of tough-guy pro baseball players refuse to stay in a hotel, there's probably something weird afoot. The Pfister is among of Milwaukee's finest hotels, which is why many visiting sports teams put their players up here. It also happens to be among the most haunted hotels in the world, and so many MLB players have complained about ghostly encounters -- strange knocking and pounding noises, TVs turning on and off, their belongings inexplicably moved -- that many now refuse to stay there. Even B-list celeb Joey Lawrence has a Pfister ghost story. So in the words of former MLB player Michael Young, "Oh, fuck that place." Of course you can book yourself a room and hope for apparitions, but if you just want to visit, you won't look odd sipping on a Bloody Mary in the Lobby Lounge. -- LM
Wyoming Frontier Prison
Wyoming's first state penitentiary was about as miserable as you'd expect a stone prison on a cold, whistling prairie to be. It didn't have hot water until 1978. It did have something called the "punishment pole," to which prisoners were handcuffed, then whipped with rubber hoses. It's been closed since 1981, but guided tours allow you to get up close and personal with the "death house" (which housed inmates on death row), the gas chamber, and offices left exactly as they were. October is the best time to visit, when the prison hosts midnight tours in the days leading up to Halloween. Tickets start at $15. -- MM

Public relations has two sides – the promotional side and the protective side. Each plays an important role in building and maintaining a company's public reputation. One of the most important elements of the protective side of public relations is crisis management. You know the old saying, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail?" Well it couldn't be truer when it comes to crisis management planning and preparation.
The first step is to build a crisis management team. Crisis managers are more than just the public relations staff. The make-up of a crisis management team will vary depending on the size of the company, the nature of the industry and a company's market-share, among other variables. For example, companies should add individuals with decision-making authority over operations, human resources and customer relations, in addition to the internal or external public relations practitioners so that all aspects of the business are considered throughout the progression of the crisis.
With a team in place, the next step is to build a plan. Strategic crisis management begins with a thorough crisis communication plan and the following is a good place to start: make a list of any and all "crises" that could interrupt normal business operations. From natural disasters to product recalls and everything in between, understanding the scenarios that could negatively impact the company's ability to operate should be addressed in the plan.
Once the relevant scenarios have been defined, action steps should be outlined that address each scenario. Included in these action steps should be a list of sample messaging crafted with specific relevant audiences in mind and customized to the specific scenario. Having a template of messages available when an actual crisis occurs can save time and effort on behalf of the crisis management team, which will ultimately reflect positively on the company after the crisis passes.
A thorough crisis management plan is a valuable tool that, in a perfect world, a company never needs to use. But by taking the time to understand the potential crises that can negatively impact a business, companies set themselves up to weather an unexpected storm that much better in the future.
TRINDGROUP has experience with crisis management for B2B and B2B2C clients across many industries. Get in touch to learn how a crisis management plan could save your business.

i hav owned my 3200 for about 4 months, its an ok phone. the picture resolution is pretty bad. but nothing too serious to say that i have regrets. may not go back to 3200 but will stick to nokia. problem not with phone but with service provider.
Hi I have Posted about this phone before. Here is what i said.
2nd Post:Its Me again, and also that you can make ur own covers or buy covers really good. Nokias r really popular here in australia especially 3200s
1st Post: I bought this on december 7 as my nokia 3315 wasnt working as good as it should, and This phone is really good! all my friends at skool r startin 2 get one (theyre popular at school lol) and I don't wanna upgrade for a long time lol
NOW: I THINK THIS PHONE IS ABSOLUTE CRAP! 1mb of memory aint good. The camera Resoloution aint that great, sometimes when sending mms stuff to friends it doesnt come out. So now after using nokias for years, im Deciding to change over to Sony Ericsson. Im looking out for a K750i or a W800. How much are they outright?
this fone is great is cool, the thing is that you don't no how to use it, and you don't know how to care of it, and another thing, anyone knows some WAP pages were I can download apps and games (java) and espetially a mp3 player or something like that?
this phone has some major problems, the power button is the biggest, i have had alot of phones come back with the inner switch broken off, also the ear speaker has failed on a few units. sorry but i don't think i'll be dealing with these phones anymore.
Does anyone else's radio not work on their 3200? I got it second hand off a friend and he said that it has never worked. Is it fixable or should i just update?
It is really good phone!!
1-Loud & beautiful ringtones and AMR support
2-Loud alarm
3-Good display colors
4-Good earpiece volume (lower than Nokia 3310/3410 but believe me it is really enough)
5-Strong vibrator
1-Software bug (sometimes it will ring ascending while you set it up at ringing!!)
2-Plastic and filmsy fascia that i am afraid to scratch that's why i bought a leather cover but still afraid because i don't want to buy its original fascia because it is expensive!!
I took my sister's 3200 when I joined my country's military service.
Even If I had some objections about its small memory size that can't hold many pics of the crap I'm going through, I can say it's a very durable phone.
I've thrown myself against rocks many times with it in my pocket, or done even worse things, and it has yet to show any considerable wear and tear...
the camera wasn't clear and the tones didn't sound all that nice, but the rest wasn'tthat bad
one of my fren here use a 3200,i tink its quite a gud fone,da price is gud n its quite handy if u get used to it.
its an amazing phone and its the only phone that can hide msg's. i have it and would neve sell it, it the best phone i have come a cross and very easy tooo use
OOOH! i LOVED this fone when i had it...i wouldnt have gotten another fone for SOOO long if my step dad hadnt broken it...but its a lil out of dat e now..but still- it was BEAUTIFUL! now i have an LG L1100 and cant wait to get a new one- in 2007...coz i wanna go back to nokias!!
I've had my 3200 for a little over a year and I like it very much, but the camera isn't very good -- hard to see images on the screen and sometimes takes a very long time (15-20 seconds) to actually take the picture and by then, subject has moved. The flashlight is handy and it's easy to get used to the keys.
Recently a problem developed where my speaker just stopped working. Now my phone doesn't ring (still vibrates & beeps when keys are pushed) and the loudspeaker doesn't work. It isn't set on silent or anyting like that. Does any one else have this problem? Is it fixable? Any ideas?
its not bad once you get used to it. My phone doesn't hang, i've had it for almost a year now and so far it still is on tip top condition. The camera does suck, but its a pretty cheap phone (priced). Performance-wise... i luv it!
I won't sell it, im too attatched to the flash light and radio. If you have complaints about it, get a second phone like what i did to make up for the camera and the mp3 features. Hehehe.
MMM..... I think the design is OK but the camera is awful!!!! And the memory is a piece of junk.
This phone is COOL very goood and i like it. if someone dont like it it is because u dont know how to use a phone and take care of it.
i think this phone works really well. the camera does lack but i think the battery lasts long. and its really sturdy ive dropped it tons and it hasent died! i like the #s once u get use to them!!!
This phone is okay. But I don't approve of the camera. I also can't hear what people are saying so I always use the speaker. The volume is so low that I can't even hear the "ring" everytime I call someone so I don't have any idea if the call is going through or not.
