| 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. | 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 | |
| 1430 | Article | NLogan | @Hoju here are my Scary Stories and my son's Scary Stories that have new artwork. <img width="300" height="300" src="/images/postImages/141326342520141013_212456.jpg"> Looking at some of my pictures for the wax museum I saw I forgot they also had Rocky, Chuck Norris, Hulk Hogan, Abbott and Costello, and the cast of the Wizard of Oz. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1431 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think we've all had at least one of those stories passed around regarding "the house next door" or some escaped murderer on the loose. Kids love scaring other kids. I was not immune to it, unfortunately. More than once, I made up a story about a little girl getting caught in hidden quicksand in the woods behind our house (DOH!). Naughty, naughty. And there was at least one house in our little neighborhood that could have easily been the subject of a scary tale (though it wasn't). One thing that IS true, and can be good for giving a kid some fright, is that the catfish in the Ohio River (a mere 10 minutes from me) can reach the size of men. I've seen pictures of some that were almost that size, caught be people I know. Tales of them were pretty regular after divers began searching for the remains of people who had died in the Silver Bridge Collapse in the town over from us (and also across the river in Point Pleasant WV). Oh, then there was that whole Mothman thing... but that's a whole other subject unto itself. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1432 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @NLogan Wow, that is an impressive and costly collection. You may be the only person who bought Hulk 180 and 181 for The Wendigo appearance, LOL. @Vaporman I wanna see those catfish, freaky! By the way, I called my Dad last night to confirm the first story about the haunted house, he said it was 100% true. Apparently the people that did buy it years later totally remodeled it to eliminate any connection to the deceased owners and possible haunting...crazy. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1435 | Article | NLogan | Nah, my big favorites were X-Men, Hulk, and Spider-Man. My favorite was Wolverine when he was still cool. My collection runs from the 1960s-1990. But I do like the wendigo but he just happened to be in the hulk and X-Men books and it sort of pertained to this conversation. If you want to check out a creepy weird wendigo movie watch Ravenous. Oh I like how the paper in this article is in Latin. | Scary Stories from the Schoolyard | Oct 14, 2014 | |
| 1406 | Article | Vaporman87 | I didn't realize Knott's was owned by Cedar Fair. They also own the two big Ohio parks (King's Island and Cedar Point). That's cool. Cedar Fair does do a Halloween/October makeover to each of those parks, but they aren't as elaborate as what happens at Knott's. Still, I'm guessing they put what they have learned from Knott's to work in those parks... which can only make them better. | Haunting Memories | Oct 09, 2014 | |
| 1407 | Article | pikachulover | Cedar Fair took over in the late 90s I think. The Halloween Haunt was the first of its kind for theme parks. | Haunting Memories | Oct 09, 2014 | |
