| Name | Haunt | Likes | Dislikes |
| Chris Baxter (Bax) | Reaper's Realm Haunted Forest Ride | anything Halloween I'm not picky. Masks electronics body parts bats rats gory monsters oh anything just surprize me | anything pink or flowery |
| Sandra Blomberg (Hell-0) | Home of Freed Souls | I like creepy, scary,things that make you wonder if they could truely be real,past,present,or future,and other things that are perfectly acceptable to some cultures and people while at the same time, taboo to others(i.e. the "Island of Doctor Morreau", some science experiments,shrunken heads,the Marquis' use of live people as furniture?,etc.)pretty scary stuff if true. I like skeletons,clean, not corpsified,body parts,just un-attached,not bloody or mangled. Cats,bats,all mythical beasts and monsters,especially when they are the opposite of what you would expect(i.e.friendly dragons,wicked fairies)everything has both good and evil,it is only the chosen path in any given moment or situation. Also, I do not have an "official" haunt I only decorate my home ,but the name I have chosen is true either way,people with free spirits live here and when you are "dead" your spirit is truely free. I like to do crafts,listen to music,and of course I LOVE Halloween!!!! | I do not like really gorey corpsified stuff, as I said in my "Likes" above,also I do not like really cutesy stuff,maybe a little bit cutesy, but "definitely" not the kind that makes you want to "toss your cookies"(can't be wasting those cookies!!!!) I do not "actually" like some of the stuff I wrote about above,some of them just interest me ,if you know what I mean? |

That was the mask from my first Halloween prop years and years ago. I love cemetaries, also. | Robert the Doll (I am only mentioning this because one of my friends chose to point out that my secret pumpkin could send me a Robert reproduction and scare me to death.) Clowns, cutesey Halloween things, (I have too many!) overly gorey things, food (I'm too picky)...I think that's it...Maybe I should mention Robert again though, for good measure. |
