All Hallow's Eve is fast approaching, and theme parks around the world are trotting out all manner of ghoulish delights for fearless guests:- Hong Kong Disneyland may be hurting for attendance at all other times of the year, but their new "Glow in the Dark" Parade (led by Nightmare Before Christmas' Jack Skellington) seems to be drawing in the crowds eager for a fun-filled scare or two.
- At Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, kiddie-flavored thrills can be found at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which includes a nightly visit from the Headless Horseman. You can also check out the newly updated Haunted Mansion, complete with floating Madame Leota head.
- But if it's real scares you're looking for, skip Disney's family friendly fare and head over to Universal Studios Hollywood or Universal Studios Orlando for their annual fright fests, Halloween Horror Nights. This year's events feature three monster movie icons as your hosts: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees and A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, as well as a live stage show based on The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The must-see show at any HHN is Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure, and this year's appears to be no different. A schmorgasboard of all the latest in pop culture, this time our two favorite surfer dudes stumble into all manner of recent movie characters, from the likes of Saw, 300, Spider-Man 3, Grindhouse and Transformers, not too mention a Hero or two. It even looks like Rosie O'Donnell and Chris Crocker make appearances. Gee, I'm sure they handle that well.
