|---|
Woods of Terror is a haunted house theme park located in Greensboro, North Carolina. [1]
Woods of Terror sits on 45 acres of land 12 miles outside of Greensboro, North Carolina. [2] The land is said to be the permanent home to countless spirits who died during The Great Depression. [2] At the time, local priest, Father Eddie Howie McMillan, was the owner of the land. He passed it on to his great-grandson, Eddie Howie McLaurin, in 1970. [3] It became known as McLaurin Farms. McLaurin used the area as a junkyard, collecting fees from individuals who dumped their unwanted belongings, ranging from refrigerators to cars. These items remain as a part of the set used by Woods of Terror. The park opened in 1991. [4]
Woods of Terror offers a variety of attractions. Just beyond the ticket booth is "The Monster Midway," which is the waiting area of Woods of Terror. [5] When he is in the Midway, Eddie McLaurin is known as "Bone Daddy" and wears a red mohawk and half-skeleton face makeup. Bone Daddy leads a monster parade and sings the National Anthem in a punk-rock style accompanied by fireworks and a band. [2] In the Midway, there are refreshments and photo opportunities with Bone Daddy and his 80-pound albino Burmese python named Dawn. [4] [6]
Additional attractions [2] include "Arachnophobia," designed to exploit fears of spiders, roaches, and snakes, and "Chaos 3D," where guests get close to three-dimensional murals, wear 3D glasses and explore halls filled with visual illusions. Other experiences include "Industrial Nightmare," " The Blood House," "Horror Movie Classics," "The Awakening," "Miner's Massacre," "The Slaughter House," and "The Purge Anarchy." [5] Approximately 175 employees work at Woods of Terror each year. [4]
In addition to Woods of Terror, McLaurin Farms has a large pumpkin patch during autumn, and Christmas lights set to music and hayrides in the winter. [7] In the spring, the site has an annual Easter egg hunt along with face painting. [8]
