I would like to add my two cents to the reviews you’ve received so far regarding your new location and what it offers the horror fans when they visit the Graveyard. You have improved your haunt by miles. Yes, outdoors is unique and fun. But what you offer here is a chance to re-live scenes out of some of the best horror films ever made such as Nightmare On Elm Street with Freddy in person and Jason at Crystal Lake. You will not be disappointed when you make the trip to Canton to see for yourself. What the visiting folks don’t know is how much you put into making this new indoor haunt and what was developed in a very short time. The scenes you created like the Michael Myers house and the Pennywise scene is out of sight! I just viewed that scene clearly depicted to a “T”. It is truly a great place to visit. Congratulations to all of the cast that made it special. Especially the Michael Myers scene….after all, I know it well. Can’t wait to come back!
