What is this a picture of?
Heather shot this picture at the party and none of us here can figure it out. It looks to be a ghostly image. We see a white cloaked face with a nose, mouth and fire glowing eye. But that's just our opinion. Anyone else?

Thanks to ALL!
Well, another great Halloween Season has come and gone. This year proved yet again that Freaky Frights is the number one attraction of its kind.
This year was larger than any other. On Halloween night alone we have several thousands of visitors. The streets were lined with people of all ages waiting to get to the next attraction. The lines were endless.
We had great actors this year. The Grave Digger, The Spider Witch, The Zombies, The Ghouls, The Head Hunter Tribal Drummer, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Skulula and all the little players did a fantastic job of entertaining. All the new scenes and props really wowed the fans.
Thanks to NBC5/Universal, Telemundo, ABC7, Chicago Tribune, Metromix, Count Midnight, Count Gregula and Suburban Life, as well as many others who expressed their interest in many great forms.
Thanks to everyone who helped made Freaky Frights possible:
Polar Bear Ice Cream

The Village of North Riverside

And all the thousands of guests that came out. This years furthest visitor was from Sweden! Wow! That's some recognition! It was their first American Halloween experience and they loved it.
See ya again next year with even more!
