Welcome to Fright Fest 2017 at Six Flags St. Louis
There are lots of Fright Fest flags up on the main shops.
I really liked the placement of this skeleton.
The Dead Beats - a unique group that delivers high energy drumming and musicianship on a variety of odd instruments on a stage next to Axis Games.
Back for their 6th season in-a-row, The Rotten Bros Side Show performs disturbing acts like sword-swallowing, fire-eating, and walking on broken glass. The show performs on the stage near Batman the Ride in the Studio Backlot.
Living Dead Headstone & Coffin Sales.
A UFO has landed near River King Mine Train
The little stream that runs down the hill from River King Mine Train runs red with blood.
Gag Alley features several large inflatables.
There are also several different gags to try out that one would find in a classic fun house.
The Deadly Sins of Man are on display near Mooseburger Lodge.
Welcome to The Macabre Manor.
Located inside Miss Kitty's Saloon, this non-scare haunted house is where kids 12-and-under can pick up their trick or treat bags of candy.
I like how they recycled props from the former Scooby Doo ride for this attraction.
The park has a lot of new tombstones this year around the park.
They even had some in the queue area of Screamin' Eagle -- and they also had some along the actually ride pathway which I thought was great.
New for 2017 is Butcher's Block near Colonel Cobb's. This new scare zone area features the Pig Maze which is a serious of pens that you must navigate to break free.
New for 2017 in the Empire Theatre is Reality? featuring Johnny Magic.
Johnny Magic performs several famous magical illusions.
For instance - cutting a girl in half.
He also performs Houdini's famous metamorphosis act.
Back again for another season in the Palace Theatre is Love at First Fright.
The show is a musical review of famous Halloween songs.
On the Palace Porch, Deadman's Party - a dance troupe has been taken over and transformed into marionettes of a rather demented nature. These human puppets have no strings to hold them back.
The park has 5 upcharge haunted attractions this year. Camp Killamore is located in Hurricane Harbor and features a summer camp overrun by psychopaths. The rules are easy - don't go out after dark and especially don't go alone. You might not live to regret it.
Located near Spinsanity, Blackout forces you to navigate blindly through a maze that is completely in the dark. Screamsters in the maze are also dressed completely in black so it is next to impossible to see them before it's too late.
Slaughter House is located next to Mooseburger Lodge. This maze is full of bloodthirsty butchers who are waiting in the shadows hoping for a new supply of fresh meat.
Blind Fury, located near the entrance to Thunder River features a matrix of hallways and mazes that will disorient you as you are faced with blinding lights and terrain changes.
Night Terrors, located near Joker Inc, forces you to face your deepest fears. Don't look under your bed, don't open that closet and especially don't close your eyes.
Let's check out the scare zones now.
They had a pretty cool projection system on a couple windows near River King Mine Train.
Butcher's Block (located near River King Mine Train) is overrun by Pigmen wanting to butcher up some new meat.
Zombieville (located near Boomerang) is an area overrun by zombies hungry for brains.
Sinister Clowns of the Black Top is located near Pandemonium.
This area is no laughing matter.
Vengeful Trolls is located near Colossus.
Beware as you navigate the meandering pathway as trolls are around every corner.
And these aren't the friendly type that you saw in that kids' movie.
Sycophants have taken over DC Comics Plaza.
These post-apocalypse nut jobs are looking to take over Fright Fest.
Gnawlin's Hollow is overrun by cannibals and voodoo priests. Proceed with caution.
Rottingham & Bones Cemetery is located in the Plaza Gardens.
There are a lot of great displays in this area.
Is the ground moving next to this headstone or is it just my imagination?
The headless horseman is real!
Arachnophobes should avoid the area over by American Thunder.
Aragog, is that you?
Fright Fest runs through October 31st at Six Flags St. Louis.
They're dying to see you there.
