Sleepy Millcreek Hollow Most eerie drive: The Trail of Terror at Sleepy Millcreek Hollow in Marriott-Slaterville is down this old dirt road that I didn't even know existed. It was creepy. Best use of strobe lights: You really couldn't tell where you were going so you just got more and more confused, which made itj that much worse and even more scary. Best authentic Halloween village: The whole hollow was decorated with lights and old buildings inside of the gates. It made you feel like you were in a scene from "Hocus Pocus." There is something for everyone, with storytelling, movies, craft booths, and of course, the Trail of Terror. Cutest child haunter: There was a little boy, about 5 years old, telling us where to go nearj the beginning of the haunted trail. He was dressed in an Army uniform and was the best thing I saw all night. Creepiest guides ever: The guide at the very first played up his character veryj well; inside, in the black lights, another guy dressed in all white told us how to get to the trail. He didn't ever say anything and just kind of followed us all over the place to "scare" us into going through the next part. Both these guys were amazing. Best use of a prop: As you set off on the Trail of Terror, you're given a talisman and told to keep it with you and not give it to anyone else. It's just something for you to take home but people in the trail ask you about it and try to get it from you. It's kind of creepy. I Jaycie Miller, Fremont High School i 209 |
