The small community of Southern Ohio, the boondocks of - and I mean that literally - Wilmington, a quiet little rural area that's not quite part of Dayton, yet not entirely of Cincinnati - holds an eerie secret...that town's namesake Haunted Hollow Ride....
The attraction has been
around for over a decade in one form or another - I think our last visit was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2006 or 7...until we popped in on a whim one Saturday
night this past season, and, my how times have changed!
The Haunted Hollow has grown
from the basic hayride of sorts to a multi-haunt attraction with a very strong
fan base.
There are three sections -
the first is the main tour, in which large groups board old school buses with
the roofing removed take you on a
lengthy journey through a trial infested with creatures of all kinds...
Be aware this is more of a family oriented attraction, and, with the aim
on said market, there is minimal gore, and things are played on a relatively
moderate keel...
There are also two stand
alone haunts - The Slaughter Hotel and the Nightmare Penitentiary - full of
twists, turns and terrors of all kinds - the Hotel being the more traditional
type of haunted house, while the Penitentiary lives up to it's name with a
hellish prison theme....of the two, I prefer the Hotel, but that's just
personal taste...
Next, it's off to Seymour, Indiana to visit Fear Fair, a horror-movie tribute site with a difference and....ahhh....BITE!
...and just a few shots from our exploits in the 2013 Haunting Season, whihc included visitis to The Baxter Avenue Morgue in Kouisiville, KY, the Industrial Terorplex in Jacksonville, Ind, and the Woodland Cemetery in Dayton, OH along with our godkids Bonnie and Shaun.....pretty self-explanatory...
Must give proper kudos and thanks to Marc Meader of the Springboro haunted Hayride and Jason Besseman of the Devil's Attic for their wonderful hospitality towards myself and my family on our visits this year...thanks ever-so-much, gentleman - truly appreciated!!!
