i realize this is a bit dated now but i just came across this site. i grew up in warwick and went to rp every summer. i also worked on the first year of Halloweenland. i can confirm that the house of horrors was definitely up and running as i was there to help get it going. being in the room where the car dropped down that hill, standing on the floor between tracks with the cars running was a surreal experience. there were limitations as to what we were allowed to do after the inspection (that crippled the park). we were not supposed to have live actors in the house, but some of you may remember, we did it anyway. the inspection i'm referring to shut down about half the houses that were already built and not allowed to open. i worked on several of them. i remember emery p as well as a few other people i had worked with a few years earlier in march of dimes haunts. did anyone get to go in the funhouse? that was one of the better houses that got shut down. it was functional but not allowed to run because there were no sprinklers (which was the same reason for most). someone would go into the crowd and select a few people to bring in. shady? all in all my experience at halloweenland turned me off from haunting all together and i left the scene. i have recently returned and it's nice running into old friends. for example, james of nightmare gallery (his house was to the left when entering the park) has moved his event to salem ma, where i now live. as for what i'm up to or who i am, i value my anonymity... but look for The Black Spot in the providence area this october!
