South Florida Fair-Fright Nights WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- What do Das Krankenhaus, Twisted Tales, The Mansion
on Meadow Lane and Cuckoos Nest 2 all have in common? They're all part of this year's Fright Nights at the South Florida Fair, held over three weekends -- Oct. 11-13, Oct. 18- 20 and Oct. 25-27. Midway hours were from 6 to 11 p.m. (midnight on Fridays and Sat- urdays). The haunted houses open at 7 p.m. For those brave enough, a behind-the-scenes tour of the
four haunts was held on Wed., Oct. 10, for $10 per person. The 45-minute tours Guests had the opportunity to meet the featured characters, ask questions and take pictures. Each tour purchase included a free promotional ticket for Preview Night, which included one free admission and one haunted house. Now for the gory details! This year's themed haunts were Das Krankenhaus, Twisted
Tales, The Mansion on Meadow Lane and Cuckoos Nest 2. Das Krankenhaus is an institu- tion of horrific experimental torture and terrifying phenomenon featuring the Angel of Death, a depraved doc- who subjected his vic- medical procedures,
ture. The forgotten Mansion dark, foggy road in the ed on the edge of town, home was left to rot af- city's residents. The mili- a makeshift morgue and
tor at the helm of this hospital tims to gruesome experimental mutilation and psychological tor-
on Meadow Lane is a setting of a middle of a dense forest. Locat- this once elegant and loving ter a terrifying virus doomed the tary used the massive house as if guests listen closely, they'll be
able to hear something scraping and scratching inside. The third haunt featured Fairy, err ... Twisted Tales. While some fairy tales are pure and light hearted, others have a
dark and macabre truth to them. Some people dread falling asleep as some of these savage tales are said to transcend time and speak from beyond the grave to unleash fear and terror upon the physical waking world. The final haunt, the Cuckoos Nest 2, erupted in wailing and maniacal cheers when Misfit was freed from her padded
prison cell. The patients' eyes lit up and filled to the brim with happiness, as they knew mayhem and chaos would soon reign again. After last year's murderous rampage, Misfit was deemed unfit to be in the general patient population. She was retrained and locked away for good. Order was restored to the Scharnhorst Mental Asylum, aka, "The Cuckoo's Nest," but not for long. Misfit was back this year with her jolly army for round two. Through the years, Fright Nights has become the largest haunted house event
in West Palm Beach. The carnival of terror offers four new haunted houses each year and includes scare zones, food and beverages, entertainment and midway carnival rides. Fright Nights has come a long way since 2002 when it began in a tent on the
fairgrounds. Today the event takes place in a 40,000 square foot Agriplex and on two acres of land on the fairgrounds.
