Our family splurged last spring on season passes to an amusement park that's down the road from us. We spent a good part of our summer riding roller coasters and log flumes, but the best part of those season passes lay at the end of the season when the park is transformed into a ghostly wonderland. Frightmares! There are hay mazes and spook houses. Mummies and goblins roam the park to scare the wits out of unsuspecting children. And perhaps best of all, the entertainment takes a turn for the ghastly.
My cousin, Erin, blogged about how great it was to see the Hackenslash Chainsaw Demonstration Team, so of course I had to see it!
I knew my boys would love to see scary guys juggling chainsaws and defying death, or whatever it is that chainsaw demonstrators do. Anytime there is the potential for blood, my kids are all over it. It would be morbid to say that we were hoping for a spontaneous amputation. So I won't.

Here is what we saw when we arrived at the appointed time for the show:
Imagine our disappointment.
Aww dangit! That damn Katy Perry has done it again. First Sesame Street, now this. What is the world coming to?
ReplyDeleteLoved the pan to your husband's "amused" face! LOL!
AAhhhaaahaaaahaaa! Katy Perry what a way to ruin Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI took my boys one year to see The Nutcracker. They were horrified by the men in tights. On the way out my middle one screamed "now I know why they call it the nutcracker!"
Never again - they can get their culture at Chucky Cheese performances!
WTF? Seriously? Zombie chainsaw dudes shakin their groove thang to some Katy Perry?! I think there are women in those costumes!
ReplyDeleteMaaaan. We got the same passes. And I still have never been to Frightmares. At least now I'll know what to expect... Zombies dancing to Katy Perry. Creative. Real creative. Not to mention Halloween-ish?
ReplyDeleteThat is just sad. I don't get it. What about Halloween and zombies with chainsaws says "Katy Perry"?
ReplyDeleteI guess I can see why sitting through that would be scary though....
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! I am laughing so hard right now. The pan to your husband's face was the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI never said they were SCARY, I just said they were THERE! ;) And in my post, I did say that my "cute little" friend from community theater was in it, so that shoulda tipped you off right there, cause "cute, little"=gay in this case. But they do roam around the park scaring people with their chainsaws in between shaking their booty!
ReplyDeleteI know, I totally should have guessed. BUT they should not be allowed to call themselves the Hackenslash Chainsaw Demonstration Team if they are not going to do any chainsaw demonstrating. False advertising, that is. :)
ReplyDeleteTrue dat
ReplyDeleteIt is quite unfair to say you are a demonstration team, but go shakin' your thang like that with no actual threat of amputation or dismemberment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a bummer.
What the heck..they could have at least flung around some fake limbs dripping in ketchup...where is the creativity??????
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with dat? I'm laughing right now. Who's brain child was this?
ReplyDeleteAndy's disgusted look is definitely hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLoved Andrew's face. Very funny!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my crap, that was funny! What were the boys thinking or doing? Andy's face is absolutely hilarious!! So he loves watching quers dance, huh?! :)
