The Dragon's Eye

2009 Theme -- "The Dragons Go To The Movies"

Well, here we are .... we're a few months into 2009 and already our thoughts turn to Halloween. The monsters all got together on March 21st at Godfathers in Hampton and threw out some absolutely DEVILISH ideas to entertain all of you this year. This year the theme will be "The Dragons Go To The Movies." Rooms will be themed to well known movies. Now .... we all expect to see Jason and Michael Myers and the SAW Puppet Guy and even a Texas Chainsaw Massacre room taken from well known horror movies, right? Well, that's just not how we roll here at the Dragon's Eye .... we don't like to be like everybody else. EVERYBODY has those things in their haunted house. We need to shake things up a bit. Put a 'spin' on this movie theme. After a lot of brainstorming and putting our evil heads together, we've all decided to take some movies that we all know and love and would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS expect to see in a haunted house ..... and twist them. .....Just a little. ....bring them to the darkside. Movie characters gone beserk. Imagine entering a room. It has a weird nautical theme -- and a eerily familiar, little pineapple hut in the corner ..... with a catchy little tune playing in the background "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" You think to yourself, "Wait a minute -- I know that song -- I've seen this movie -- " and all of a sudden out of the pineapple hut jumps a bloody, deformed, likeness of what was once -- SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS -- a beloved movie character all children know and love. -- but this time SPONGEBOB isn't flipping crabby patties boys and girls. This time SPONGEBOB is looking for retribution. He's been turned into a killing machine. Something pure EVIL lives inside this spongey monster. We now notice Patrick the starfish has been hacked up into little, tiny pieces in the other corner ..... the innocent, sweet Sandy Cheeks lays dead on the floor behind poor Patrick. ....and now SPONGEBOB is coming after YOU. RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! RUN LIKE YOU'VE NEVER RUN BEFORE!

What horror awaits those that dare enter this place of darkness and death?????

Have YOU ever seen a REAL DRAGON??

=============================================================================================

Did we REALLY scare you?!?

	For the past 3 years, the DRAGONS gave away FREE T-shirts to those who got REALLY, REALLY scared in their lair. …and by REALLY, REALLY scared …we mean those that actually peed their pants while inside the haunted barn!

	If our visitors allowed us to take a picture of the ‘peetality’, we awarded them with a ‘special’ t-shirt
	commemorating the event.

	We gave away 30 t-shirts in the first two weekends in 2006 and in 2007 we gave away 40 in the first two weekends!! In 2008 we set a new record giving away over 30 t-shirts to those that peed their pants in ONE NIGHT!! SO ..... if you have a bladder control issue, come early this season and maybe you'll get a free t-shirt!!

THE MONSTERS DONATE TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRY IN 2008!

Another successful Halloween season has come and gone. We saw record numbers on some nights and a couple slow nights when the winds were 40+ mph and snow was flying. This is definitely a season we won't forget. This is the first year we did a "free admission" night in an effort to raise cans of food for the local food pantry. We raised over 2,000 cans-- a new record for one year for The Dragon's Eye. Definitely something the community needed with the economy the way it is this year. Thanks to all the volunteers in the community that helped at the Haunted Barn this season and made it possible to bring all that food to those in need!!

=============================================================================================

THE MONSTERS DONATE TO LOCAL PROGRAMS IN 2007!

The monsters were out and about on Friday, November 2nd, handing out money to local programs. This year we're supporting the CAL School in Latimer. Pictured here from left are: KISS Creature, Amy Karg (Principal), Nick Brooks (aka Psycho Bob), Big Red Demon Guy, Skeletor, and Mr Insano (knealing).

Skeletor hands Nick and the CAL School a check for $1,000.00 to be used any way they see fit, from The Dragon's Eye Haunted Barn monsters.

==================================================================================================

Our second stop of the day on Friday was the Franklin County Food Pantry. The monsters dropped off 883 cans of food to give to needy families. Pictured from left is Skeletor who is scaring Nola Johnson (head of the food pantry), Mr Insano (knealing), KISS Creature scaring Beulah Holmgaard, and Stuart Riggins being spooked by the Big Red Demon Guy.
