SpookyWorld and Nightmare New England Team Up to Terrorize in 2009
LITCHFIELD, N.H.-(Business Wire)-September 10, 2009 - In a monster mash-up, the owners of Mel’s Funway Park LLC., and Nightmare New England have purchased 18-year-old SpookyWorld to create one of America’s largest and most terrifying Halloween scream parks.
Located on 20 acres, the new SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England will introduce three new haunts, bringing the number to seven terrorizing attractions, and ratcheting up fear to a new level.
Nightmare New England is ranked one of the best fright factories in the U.S. and is listed as one of top 12 eerie elite across the nation for 2009 by “America’s Best Haunts,” the nation’s eminent authority on thrill attractions. Haunted Attraction magazine named it one of the “25 must-see haunted attractions” in the U.S.
The haunts at SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England were created with the serious horror junkie in mind. The fright-factor makes the scream park rated PG 13. “We did the research,” says head undertaker, Mike Krausert, who is the director of operations. “We looked at what other attractions were doing across the country. Then we made sure to create what had never been done before in New England.”
SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England expects to attract 72,000 brave visitors in October. Of the 2,000 haunts in the US, just one to two percent are “mega-haunts,” which draw between 40,000 and 80,000 in a season, according to industry statistics.
View the Attractions, which include:
“Buried Alive”
“Raven’s Claw Cemetery”
“Night Feeders”
“House of Eternal Darkness”
“Demented”
“The 3D Freakshow”
“Sleep Stalkers”
Sideshow attractions include: a live metal-grunge band performance, zombie paintball, go-cart racing, mini-golf, food, drink and more. With the vastly expanded “Monster Midway,” doubled concessions, more games and rides, and 25 acres of parking, SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England promises to make Halloween not just a holiday but a destination.
Even the location of this horror fanatic’s nightmare was carefully selected. Situated outside, along the banks and forest of the Merrimack River, visitors of SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England will experience the dark country side as a central character in this twisted trail of terror. SpookyWorld / Nightmare New England is located at 454 Charles Bancroft Highway, Route 3A, Litchfield, N.H., a 45-minute drive northwest of Boston.
Nights of operation are: October 2-4; 9-12; 15-18; 22-25; and 28-31, 2009, from 6 to 11 p.m. Tickets run from $29.99 to $49.99. For more information, visit www.SpookyWorld.com.
