| 1414 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I totally forgot that Elvira used to do a show at the Halloween Haunt! I remember going to Knott's one year while they were transforming it to Knott's Scary Farm and the workers setting-up the stage near the Mine Car ride said it was because Elvira was coming for the Haunt. Then you had to go and mention Kingdom of the Dinosaurs (sniff) that was the only reason I went to Knott's back in the day. I loved the animatronic scientist narrator, "YOU"RE GOING BACK IN TIME!" | Oct 09, 2014 |  | |
| 1416 | Article | pikachulover | @Hoju I remember the times I went to Elvira she was set up near the bumper cars. Her merchandise would be for sale after the show. It was mostly makeup. Too bad about that ride. I heard it had to be closed down because the roof caved in. The park should really do something with it. Even if they have to knock it down. It's in a good location and it has a lot of potential. They could expand the arcade or put a store there or something. | Haunting Memories | Oct 10, 2014 | |
| 1418 | Article | Fulton4V | I was at Knotts one time while visiting my aunt, uncle and cousins and they took us there. It was a very nice park and I wish I could have been there for the scary farm festival. Nice article. | Haunting Memories | Oct 10, 2014 | |

| 1419 | Article | NLogan | Scary stories to tell in the dark are the best. My favorite was the wendigo. You need to track down the full length story by algernon blackwood. Teddy Roosevelt also wrote one about the wendigo. Scary stories were an excellent beginning for kids to look at ghost stories from literature that was nearly a century old. I went to the Hollywood wax museum around 1993. I remember there being exhibits for Elvira, Norman Bates from psycho, the crew of the original star trek enterprise, Clint Eastwood, Tom selleck from magnum P.I., red Skelton, laurel and hardy, snd Marilyn Monroe. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1420 | Article | pikachulover | I kinda regret I never went to the Movieland Wax Museum. In school I remember stories about Bloody Mary and the Chupacabra. When I was told about what she really was it was way scary. The kids at school used to say they would see the Chupacabra at the train tracks by the local McDonalds. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1421 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover That's crazy. All those trips to the Halloween Haunt, I thought for sure you would have had some sort of annual pass to Movieland Wax Museum. Chupacapra by the train tracks sounds like a great legend. Were there any goats there for him to snack on or just McNuggets? @NLogan I only know the Marvel comics version of Wendigo who fought the Hulk (and Wolverine in his first appearance), I'll have to check out the original version. My favorite was always "The Ghost with the Bloody Fingers". Nice list of wax memories, I remember being impressed that Michael Jackson had a whole room devoted to himself with a figure in his "Bad" outfit and they played his music videos from that album on a loop. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
| 1427 | Article | pikachulover | I have not been to many tourist-y places. I've never been to Pinks either. About the Chupacabra the kids claimed they saw goat carcasses by the McDonalds and by the train tracks by out junior high. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1429 | Article | NLogan | @Hoju here are some of my Wendigo comics. <img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/141326318020141013_212009.jpg"> | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1426 | Article | NLogan | I have copies of hulk 162, 180, 181, and 182. I like the Wendigo. I think it comes from an Algonquin legend. The kids version is in book 1 of scary stories. An interesting take on the legend. The Roosevelt version shares more similarities with the marvel version as victims are fed on. Marvel is reasonably close to the original legends in that anyone who commits cannibalism in the north woods becomes a wendigo. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 13, 2014 | |
