Dallas Halloween

Ok, we’re back! Haunted House Nation is up and (mostly) happy. I’ve upgraded this version of wordpress and deleted all 500 spam comments that it accumulated over the year.

I’m headed out this friday for the Dallas Scare Grounds, and maybe the cutting edge.

—————————————————

Scare Grounds went well, it’s still the same, not really updated very much and seemed quite a bit shorter. I can’t help but think that the spirits that haunt it are a little distressed, as this is the last year for the Dallas Scare Grounds as they will become lofts in the near future. You can read a little bit more on it at the page the Scare Ground’s put up. So if you’re a fan it’s best to head over there, it’s their last year after all, a little lee-way is perfectly acceptable.

I didn’t make it anywhere else this past weekend, unfortunately. Work has consumed me, as has a recent death in the family.

I went down to Houston to help my family weather Rita, which I am glad to say we had no trouble. Others did however, we were just lucky.

But you can read about that anywhere on the blogosphere or on the news media. How about some haunted houses?

Still adding more to the National Haunted House List.

But Houses are starting to open now.

These are open, to my knowledge:

• Dallas Scare Grounds
• Cutting Edge
• Thrillvania
• SlaughterHouse

You can read reviews about the Scare Grounds and the SlaughterHouse at Dfw Haunted Houses as soon as they get them up. I’ll have my own reviews once I get a chance to go, but that is a good site to get reviews and such.

This place claims to be a real Haunted House with a real past. Haunted House at Reindeer Manor is on the Outskirts of Dallas. I’ve never been, nor heard of them, but it looks like they will be open this year as well. You can find their true history online, as well as their guestbook(with reviews). I think I plan on heading that way this year to check them out. Gonna add them to The List now.

Dallas Scare Grounds, a definate favorite of mine both because of location(not far at all from me!) and because of the work these people put into it.
