Great Horror Campout Puts You in the Horror Film
We had a blast at Ten Thirty One Productions Los Angeles Haunted Hayride as part of our October 2012, Halloween-themed events.

For $149 dollars a person, you get to stay the night in their fictional, haunted campground and experience a whole night’s worth of terrors.

Goodbye Halloween 2012 – A Look Back
November 1st is always a depressing day for me. Halloween, one of the biggest nights of the year, is now over. No more haunted houses, kids trick or treating, or ghosts and goblins for a whole year. So, we have changed our site back from its more ghoulish-look and will resume our regularly-scheduled program. However, we had fantastic fun at various events like the LA Haunted Hayride, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, and Knott’s Scary Farm – to name just a few. What’s next? Thanksgiving, the December commercial-religious holiday of your particular persuasion, and New Year’s. We would like to thank…
Happy Halloween 2012
Happy Halloween to all our fair GamingShogun.com readers out there! On this special day, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite holiday songs/segments from when I was a kid. The song is “The Headless Horseman” and my favorite cover of it was from Kay Starr back in the 1940s (very jazzy version). This is the 1949 Bing Crosby version from Disney’s “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad”. Also, feel free to peruse all of our Halloween stories from this haunted season. The Headless Horseman

Sinister Pointe 2012 Review
The Sinister Pointe crew is at it again this Halloween season, bringing their annual offering of shrieks and creeks to entertain and scare guests. Based in a Brea, CA warehouse, the haunted attraction boasts some seriously cool frights and one of the most interesting “rooms” I have ever seen in a haunted house before. Without spoiling anything, I will say you might get a little water splashed on you… The 10,000 square foot maze features several interactive elements as well – although not as many as seen in years past. As always, their maze set design, construction, and haunted house music…
Haunted Hollywood Sports Review
This week, we got the chance to checkout the Haunted Hollywood Sports event in Bellflower, CA. Normally an airsoft and paintbull arena complex by day – by night the event turns dark and haunted for the Halloween season. The event spans rougly 23 acres – features four walkthrough mazes, a 21+ bar, and two scare zones. However, what sets the Haunted Hollywood Sports event apart from your usual haunted house are what it coins as its “killhouses”. These are interactive experiences where small groups get armed with laser or airsoft gear (from the park) and get guided through a maze,…

The Empty Grave Haunted House 2012
I just got back from visiting one of our favorite local haunted events: The Empty Grave in Anaheim, CA. Once again, the attraction has outdone itself with some all-new gimmicks and scares as well as kept a lot of the older ones that worked. The Empty Grave’s monster talent was intense and all stayed in character throughout our visit. Additionally, most had a lot of physical presence to bring to their scares – that energy really matters in this kind of attraction. The set design was well thought-out and featured a lot of variety – from a swamp land cemetery to the inside of…
