For most, the holiday season brings an end to the spooky season…but for Laurel's House of Horror, there’s always a little bit of scary to go hand-in-hand with the merry. This home-grown haunt rang in the holiday season with a traditionally chilling twist, pulling together a spectacular holiday experience with its 2024 “Christmas Nightmare” event…so of course, we had to bring back Tim’s holiday character, Twinkle Coldstone, to mark the occasion!
One of our favorite places to celebrate the holiday season is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and we were thrilled to make our return to this award-winning park for Christmas Town 2024. The park boasts over 10 million twinkling lights on display, nearly a dozen live performances, character meets including the jolly ol’ elf himself, all in addition to world-class rides, coasters and experiences!

Season’s Greetings from the Sweetest Place on Earth! We’ve taken to formally kicking off our holiday season with a late November visit to Hersheypark for their annual Christmas Candylane event, and we were excited to continue that tradition this year. Normally, we plan a “snack crawl” that takes us all over the park for both sweet and savory seasonal treats. This year, however, the savory offerings seemed to be more limited…so we instead built an itinerary around the events, the characters and the experiences offered throughout the park.
When we were planning our itinerary for our summer trip to Orlando, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was not on our radar. Although Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t our favorite of the four Walt Disney World parks, it does have some of our favorite attractions - including MuppetVision 3D, Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance and more…so we were excited to be able to spend an impromptu day at the park!
If you’re a fan of the spooky, the scary or the darkest side of dark chocolate…look no further for your Halloween fix than Hersheypark Dark Nights! This park-hosted scare event delivers a thrilling, immersive experience that has only grown in scale and intensity since its debut.

So, which campus puts on the best version of Halloween Horror Nights? To make that determination, let’s take a look at the seven deadly things that make HHN the event that it is on both coasts.
We were invited out to Darkwood Manor, an iconic haunted attraction nestled just outside Shenandoah National Park, to help the team kick off its 2024 haunt season - and were some of the first to square off against the hellscape of the Phantom Forge and the rogue artificial intelligence known only as P.E.G. - an experience we will not soon forget!
Red Vein Haunted House, an independent haunt located on Hanover Vegetable Farm, has been a growing force in Virginia’s haunt scene for nine years. Despite frequently passing through the area, we had never been able to experience Red Vein firsthand until owner and creative architect Ryan Sligh invited us out to help themkick off their 2024 operating season. Having heard nothing but praise from fellow haunters and scare actors, we were eager to see if it lived up to the hype. Spoiler alert: it did!
When checking in to the Hawthorne Hotel, one must be ready for anything and everything that may befall oneself before the sun rises! The 2024 spooky season saw our return to Fright Farm in Smithfield, PA, and this year's new theme of a “Night at the Hawthorne” was worth the ticket price all on its own!
