In hindsight, it was definitely the best decision to plough through this one first – lines just after us took about 15 minutes to go through! Also, it was a gentle and easy Haunt to start the night off with live actors jumping on and off the moving tractor ride as we passed. By far the most horrific sight was some nuns dancing to ‘Single Ladies’ – Oh, the horror! Fortunately photos and video recording wasn’t allowed, so you will not be scarred with this image anytime soon.
After some mild brain bleach, it was onwards to ‘The Cellar’ – typically this would be a last haunt as it’s one of the more ‘immersive’ experiences. But with some strong determination, accompanied with the rather humorous attempts to sing ‘Wrecking Ball’ as we entered, we somehow managed to make it through – despite our little train of people falling over multiple times and getting lost in the pitch black!
And to anyone watching the live cam – you’re welcome!
With 2 more Haunts we were allowed to see, we initially wanted to visit ‘Hell-ements’. However, a couple of us weren’t particularly fond of having bags placed over our heads (what a surprise), so we nominated ‘Creepy Cottage’ as our next Haunt of call. Personally, I found it to be a much tamer version of ‘The Cellar’, although the actors in this one were a lot more interactive; especially when someone decided it would be hilarious to start spontaneously chatting them up!
As our last decision was upon us, we decided to look at the map for the Shocktober Fest as we had no idea of where to go next. Yet one particular Haunt caught our eye:
‘Woodstock Rottin’ since 69’. This Haunt was set within the cornfields nestled by the ‘Woodshock Live Stage’, so rock music and jump scares sounded pretty good! Although it wasn’t just jump scares aplenty – there were blood spattered surgery rooms, darkened hallways narrowed by squishy balloons and one particularly disgusting puking zombie. We were quite relieved to see the end that one, particularly after the last room that we had to trek through.
Let’s just say I don’t really like chainsaws or white strobe lights anymore…
Interview with Izzy:
Q: ‘Why did you decide to go to Tulleys farm this year?’
A:‘Cause I’ve been before and it was really scary, and I thought, ‘you know what - I’m going to do it again!’
Q: ‘Which attraction were you dreading most?’
A: ‘The cellar because I went on it before and I was so genuinely scared that I just thought that I could never do it again – but I did it!’
Q: ‘Which Haunt did you find the scariest?’
A: ‘The scariest part was probably in Woodshock when we go through the tunnels and it was all close and dark. The worst thing about that was the fact that I couldn’t see anything and I had to trust Matthew Palmer to lead me the way.’
Q: ‘Was there anything you were looking forward towards, but were disappointed by?’
A: ‘I’m probably most disappointed that I didn’t get to talk to Esmerelda today, because I love her so much.’
