Press Release Summary: The Woods come alive this Halloween at the 16th Annual Woods of Terror in North Carolina.
Press Release Body: Greensboro, NC, September5, 2007 - North Carolina's Woods of Terror is not your ordinary, scream-filled Haunted attraction. The interactive event creates an atmosphere of pure horror, making any Alfred Hitchcock movie seem tame by comparison. The Woods of Terror is one of the most intense haunted attractions in the Southeast and transforms 20 acres of rural woodlands into a terrifying haunted trail in Greensboro, North Carolina. (5601 Church St.)
From September 28 - November 3, 2007, 75 actors transform from average humans to frightening performers capable of blood curdling performances. Woods of Terror \"victims\" experience realistic settings on a haunted trail through the creative use of movie quality sets, special effects makeup, high tech props and lighting.
For 16 years Woods of Terror has been the largest and most professional haunted attraction in Greensboro, NC and has grown into one of the premier haunted attractions in the Southeast. This year, Woods of Terror was selected as one of America's Best Haunts in 2007 by industry experts.
Visitors can expect to encounter zombies, monsters, a graveyard, 3D Vortex and scenes from some of Hollywood's scariest movie like SAW and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, just to name a few. All are contained in 3 main attractions; The Tour of Terror, Carn-Evil (3D area) and Terror on the Farm Hayride.
This year's celebrity guest is Doug Bradley, "Pinhead" from the Hellraiser movies. Doug will be signing autographed photos on October 12 and 13.
Woods of Terror is owned and operated by Eddie and Dawn McLaurin. Their rural land, ten miles from downtown Greensboro has been in Eddie's family for years. Eddie's idea to start Woods of Terror is based on a tale that during the Great Depression, the land was used as a "dumping ground" for spirits who were not properly buried and who haunt the woods to this day.
As many as 10,000 people will visit Woods of Terror this Halloween season with some people coming from as far as Baltimore, Maryland. It is also not uncommon to see carloads of servicemen and women drive up from Ft. Bragg Military Base. "It is unbelievable the amount of people that come from Fayetteville to take advantage of the buy-one-get-one free pricing for the military", said McLaurin.
To avoid long lines, this year Woods of Terror will operate a number system with a speaker announcing groups of ten. Visitors, before or after they become victims of the Woods, can enjoy touring the Woods of Terror Museum featuring over two hundred pieces of autographed horror movie memorabilia including movie props from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Visitors can also have fun listening and participating in "Scareyoke" with a live D.J., watch a horror movie on the large screen outside or grab a bite to eat at the concession stand.
