We’re so excited to be opening our (squeaky) doors to you all again this year! As of this post, we’re just a little under 3 months out, and we are working on some Big Things to make this year the best ever. Here’s a quick rundown of what we have going on…but first: WE STILL

Full of Suck. That’s basically what most of us have been experiencing for the last couple of months, and it’s what we sadly are compelled to contribute to now. Even our resident vampire is talking about sucking in a sulky tone of voice. But sadly even The Overlord cannot peer through the mists of time
As many of our return guests know, we like to do a little something different on the Sunday morning of AVL Scarefest. For starters, we open our doors a little later: at 9AM, instead of 8, to let everyone sleep in a little, or get a little exercise, or take a shower, etc. By the
Yes, we realized a little too late that a last name for the Yeti would sound cool…but we never gave him one. Or asked if he already had one. So…maybe we can do that when he comes back. As he will. Certainly. What’s that? You haven’t heard? OH. Well, the thing is…we haven’t seen the
