Knott's Berry Farm - Halloween Haunt

Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt 2007
Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt Welcome to Bear-ytales.net's coverage of Halloween Haunt 2007! Every Haunt fan knows what this is. The sight of Haunt smoke billowing over the walls of Camp Snoopy brings a strong mix of fear and excitement.	Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt I have visited on opening night the past few years. Crowds are light and made up mostly of enthusiasts. This makes for a great time year after year.

The doll factory premiered with very high expectations. Expectations were met and even exceeded. From the animated sign and all throughout the maze, everything was top notch. Congratulations to the craftsmen and all the talent involved!

Over time however, any maze begins to show its age, and this is no exception. 2007 was Lore's final year, but the vampires will have a new home in 2008. One of the musical selections in Lore is my favorite music of the Haunt - The Host of Seraphim by Dead and Dance. This year it was heard only in the Vampire Queen's chambers. In past years it was heard much more prominently throughout the maze, and I felt that playing it only near the Queen was a loss. I hope that the music is brought back to it's full glory wherever the vampires roam next year.

Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt After visiting Haunt as a guest for years, this was Ryan's first year as a monster, something he applied for on a whim. He loved the event and told me how great not only his maze crew was, but everyone he ran into at the Haunt. Haunt is a family, and the bond that the crew has year after year translates into a fantastic event for the guests. Haunt is truly a team effort, and it shows.	Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt
Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt Red Beard's Revenge has run for a few years now, and is consistently one of my favorite mazes. I love the detailed theming throughout, and the talent has always done a good job.	Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt

Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt 13 Axe Murder Manor had another strong year. The detail in this maze makes it another one not to miss.	Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt
Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt Attractions are hard to theme because of the size of the show space and restrictions placed on monsters. Such was the case with the Mine Train's transformation to Black Widow's Cavern. There is only so much you can do with plastic spiders, and unfortunately, it showed. The cavernous Mine Train is so large that it would take a massive budget to do it up correctly. Maybe next year will be better.
