The "Hooch" is my personal fave. They've shown huge support for ZWC and, in this zombie's opinion, they have the best damn show around. Intense, insane, radical scares around every twist and turn. It's a full on assault on the brain. Life altering. Seriously, if you can visit only one show this year, git over to the Haunted Hoochie.

at the Corner of 161 and Karl Road in the old Big Bear
Columbus, Ohio
Ahhh, the old Big Bear. I used to ride my bike there with my cousins when I was just a wee zombie. Got my first (and only) shoplifting whoopin' when my cousin got caught shoving a couple of peaches in his sweatshirt. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you! I haven't made it into this one yet, but it's put on by the same folks who did Terror Park in Cooper Stadium. You know, the one with all the awesome make-up. Definitely a value at $15.00 a ticket, it's a must for zombies on a budget.

Rated one of America's best haunted houses by... THEMSELVES! Terrorfest is the new (almost completely renovated) House of Nightmares. It's still in the old brewery, and I don't know if they were bought out or merged or what, but someone sunk a ton of money into that place. Rumor has it that the new owner also owns the website that has it listed as one of "America's Best", along with a bunch of other haunted houses that he owns. Consumer fraud or genius marketing? You be the judge. Check em' out if you get a chance after you're done getting your horror labotomy at the Hoochie.
Happy Halloween all you sticky rotten corpses. Have fun and be safe!
