Check out Boo Hill at Kings Island. It used to be a Scooby-Doo themed ride. (Well, I f I remember correctly, it was a Scooby -Doo ride when I was a kid, it then changed to a Smurf  ride, then became Phantom Theatre and then back to Scooby-Doo. ) In any case, Sally Corporation was brought in to re-theme it yet again.

Anyone who knows me or the magazine knows that I think Joshua Hoffine is THE best artist out there producing horror art that is realistic yet somehow surrealistic at the same time. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Joshua and his work. His new piece is no exception. The piece is named Keyhole. Prints are available in the Haunted Attraction Store.

Yes, everywhere you look these days we see a new vampire movie or television show. Heck, even assistants to vampires get their own movies (Cirque du Freak). Regardless of the overexposure the bloodsuckers are getting these days, I have to admit that I am fan of the HBO series True Blood.  A lot of other people are too, so if you want to stay in touch with the current vampire, then check the show out. They just released a new poster promoting the show (see left). Let us know of any great vampire scenes you have seen in a haunted house and if you are a fan of the show.
