The Queen Mary’s Annual Dark Harbor Introduces
The New Ringmaster’s Circus Freak Show
New Spirits, Mazes, Freaks and Frights
Inspired by the Real-Life Hauntings on the Queen Mary
The air is starting to cool(at least for a couple days) and the leaves are turning... well as much as they do in California. But the kids are back in school and everywhere I go, I am starting to see Halloween and even Christmas(bite my tongue!) decorations!
All of these changes means that Halloween and all its scary goodness is getting nearer. One of the scariest event that happen locally is the Queen Mary's Dark Harbor!
I have never been and this year is the year! I received an invite to test out the Queen Mary's Haunted waters!
I love Halloween (Sahmain) and all that comes with it. I just returned from previewing a couple other scary venues and I have high hopes for Dark Harbor!
Dark Harbor runs from October 3 through November 2, 2013. For 17 haunted evenings guests will experience the deadliest show on earth featuring a new horrific circus of spectacles, freaks and sideshows inspired by some of the ship’s most infamously haunted spirits and tales.
Staying with the Circus theme, Dark Harbor is pleased to introduce the newest spirit character, The Ringmaster. She orchestrates the freaks and monsters through the nightmare of evil. The Ringmaster, The Captain and their gaggle of ghosts including Samuel the Savage, Graceful Gale, Half-Hatch Henry and Scary Mary have conjured up an all-new bloodcurdling vintage circus under the big top tent inside the deadly dome.
“Through the actual haunted history of the ship we are able to increase the fright factor for Dark Harbor each year,” “With the new Ringmaster spirit and her cast of freaks leading the circus- inspired festivities, this season’s event is sure to be the scariest yet”, commented JJ Wickham, production designer and art director of Dark Harbor.
An all-new circus maze featuring a terrifying MAD house will disorient guest’s illusions through fatally horrific magic, paranormal wonders and spirited thrills like never before seen. A new freak show of devilish entertainers invites guests to “step right up” and experience fierce and terrifying freaks from beyond the grave. The new Coney Island inspired vintage circus ride “ferris-squel,” mini mazes and chilling side shows will have visitors shocked in awe.
The Queen Mary is often cited as one of the most haunted places in the world. This gives the Dark Harbor event an authentic atmosphere unlike any other theme-park haunt.
I personally know a few psychics that will not step foot onto the gangway of the Queen Mary and I personally can't wait!
