Fright Fest (SFSTL)

Welcome to Fright Fest 2019 at Six Flags St. Louis

Some nice decorations in the main plaza area

Well isn't that interesting

UFO landing near Pandemonium

Some inflatables near Fowl Play

Spider Alley is really infested this year

The McBoogies are back at the Moon Cars

The sun has set, it's time to get spooky

Spider Alley at night

Colossus all light up.  Sadly no Jack o Lantern face this year

A ghost miner near River King Mine Train

Cool lighting near the Mine Train

The lights are neat in the front plaza

That concludes our coverage for 2019's Fright Fest

Fright Fest Shows (SFSTL)

SHOWS

Love at First Fright returns for another season at the Palace Theater

Overall the story remains the same, but some of the music selections have been switched out for newer numbers

but yes, the cheesy nature of the show remains

While not the most "musical" of performances, it is mildly entertaining.

Returning for its third season, Reality featuring Johnny Magic is performing in the Empire Theater

He has some new illusions this season

He also brought back some crowd favorites from past years

It is a fun and seems to really pack in the crowds

Deadman's Party dance troupe is back at the Palace Porch

They dance to several popular spooky songs

 

Will Rotten brought back his Sideshow for another season near Batman.  He sure likes to swallow things - such as swords

He also likes to eat fire

To kick off the night time horrors, the park throws a "Freaks Unleashed" party

The event features the cast of Deadman's Party and Love at First Fright in a couple of dance and singing numbers before the train arrives with all of the screamsters

The screamsters then depart the train and cause havoc among the park guests in attendance

While nothing compared to HAUNT's Overlord's Awakening at Worlds of Fun, it is at least an attempt to kick the night off properly.

One last show to mention.  Macabre Manor moved to a new location this year.

The new location is much better for viewing and is a lot bigger.

Fright Fest Mazes (SFSTL)

MAZES & SCARE ZONES

Unlike Cedar Fair parks, it is an upcharge to go through the Haunted Houses at Six Flags... and it's not cheap either

Camp Killamore moved from Hurricane Harbor to the old Paint Ball area this season

The location made it a little better than the past

Night Terrors is remained relatively unchanged from last year.  Be careful not to roll an ankle in the graveyard scene.  I still say it's a lawsuit waiting to happen

Oddball's Fun House is new this year.  It is a very small maze located at the exit to Thunder River.  Even though it is small, it was probably one of the better mazes because it stuck to its theme

Blind Fury seemed to be about the same as last year.  I think they really are missing the mark on this one.  The theme is really easy to do, yet they seem to want to do anything but a toy factory theme

The longest and best maze here is Slaughter House.  There are some legitimate scares in here

Gnawling Hollow is a cannibal themed scare zone near the Log Flume

There are sliders here, so be warned

Sycophants is located in DC Plaza and has a post-apocalyptic theme

Not really scary unless banging bats against metal does it for you

Vengeful Trolls is located next to Colossus

One of the more interactive scare zones and the screamsters actually try in here

This big guy is also in there

Sinister Clowns is near Pandemonium

The lighting in here is pretty trippy

Project Chromo is next to Boomerang

There are mutants in here from a failed experiment

It is way too bright in here for the screamsters to actually be able to do anything

Zombieville is over near Spinsanity

The screamsters in here actually did a pretty good job this year
