A Monstrous Halloween Wedding at Nightfall
What better place for Frankenstein’s Monster and his bride to tie the knot than Nightfall? The couple, also known as Fred Curtis and Terry Rojas, will exchange vows on Halloween night, Friday, October 31st at 6:30 pm. The ceremony will be officiated by Joe Camarillo of Old Tucson who is coordinating the event for the couple.

Mr. Curtis has been playing Frankenstein’s Monster and making appearances as the popular icon at area malls for the last 20 years. “I love doing it for the children. They get a big kick out of a 7-foot tall green guy,” he says. The future Mrs. Frankenstein is credited with coming up with the idea to wed at Tucson’s oldest and biggest Halloween themed event.

TPA Haunts on Halloween at Chambers of the Mausoleum
Halloween is the busiest time of year for Theme Park Adventure, hands-down. In 2014, we have clocked 39 haunt stops into our schedule, from the end of September to November 2nd. Usually, we spend a quiet Halloween night having dinner out and enjoying “the finish line” aspect of our exhausting terror trek. However, once in a blue moon, Johanna and I slip out into the darkness somewhere to do some spooking of our own on Halloween night! Such is the case this season. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be joining our dear friends for a night of thrills and chills at Chambers of the Mausoleum in Corona, California!
Chambers of the Mausoleum is a unique, wildly-creative haunted attraction that is outstanding in the way of creativity, makeup and character design, and immersive environment fabrication. Operated by the amazing folks from Figment Foundry and Garner Holt Productions, Chambers of the Mausoleum is our haunt of choice to call “home” for Halloween night 2014!

REVIEW: Wicked Lit 2014 Halloween Production
Wicked Lit’s 2014 Halloween show which takes place at the Mountain View Mausoleum and Cemetery in Altadena, California, is just about as creative and unusual as any Halloween event or attraction we’ve ever visited. By no means a “traditional” Halloween show, Wicked Lit offers a highly-immersive theatrical experience that is both beautiful and haunting.
Formed in 2009 as an off-shoot of Unbound Productions, Wicked Lit is a theatrical group that adapts classic horror literature into dynamic, highly-engaging productions. Usually, these performances are held in and around cemeteries. In 2013, Wicked Lit appeared at ScareLA, where they performed their version of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic, The Tell-Tale Heart, which was a major hit with our convention guests. After seeing the group at ScareLA, we knew that sooner than later, we’d be seeing one of their full-length productions. That moment came this Halloween season, and wow – what an amazing experience we had!

Rare Kiwi Bird Hatches at San Diego Zoo
After undergoing a 78-day incubation, one of the longest of all birds, a rare kiwi chick hatched last week at the San Diego Zoo’s Avian Propagation Center. Animal care staff made the decision to intervene with the hatching of this newest chick when it didn’t proceed as it should.
Unlike most birds, it is the father kiwi that incubates the enormous egg. The female is nearby and will sometimes lay a second egg a few weeks later. When hatching, a kiwi chick typically pokes a ring at the top of the egg with its beak, allowing it to emerge from the top of the egg. This chick accidentally poked its legs through the bottom of the egg, making it difficult to emerge. Staff monitoring the chick carefully taped the bottom of the egg to give the chick the opportunity to hatch on its own, but after the chick was still unsuccessful, keepers peeled back part of the shell to assist with the hatching.
