30 Days of Halloween Horror Nights: What’s Your All-Time Favorite Scarezone?
This was a tough decision. In the end, I had to tip my hat to 2008’s “The Skoolhouse,” which narrowly edged out 2010’s “Zombi Gras” as my favorite scarezone of all-time.
“The Skoolhouse” was not the largest or most elaborate scarezone, but it had charm in spades. Perched on the edge of the Central Park pumpkin patch, “The Skoolhouse” felt like a snapshot of a bygone era, though, admittedly, a terrifying, nightmarish bygone era.
The scarezone was instantly recognizable by its central structure: the crooked, dilapidated, one-room “Carey Elementary School” building (a mini-haunted house in its own right). The school’s pupils, watched over by the cruel Headmaster Renshaw, came piling off a nearby bus, and it was immediately obvious that there was something “off” with these kids. Clad in tattered and dirty straight-0ut-of-the-1950’s Halloween costumes, some of them carried cleavers, some of them carried severed body parts, and all of them were there to trick-or-treat.
