Heres the deal:
I am working with several RI artists on a Rocky Point comic/graphic novel. I have chose to do a story on the house of horrors . I want to develop a story based somewhat on fact and perhaps create an urban legend around it.
So basiclly I'm trying to remember specific visual aspects of the house, but I also have tons of questions....
1.When was it first built?
2. How long was the viking outside of the house? (Seen pics from 70's and 80's it's there and then not there-inconsistent?)
3. The house was sold at auction for $1000-to whom?
4.Were the pieces in the house sold seperately?
5.The owner opened Halloweenland the next year-it got shut down-why?
6.The cars were painted over?
I have a million more....
Hope you can help me out...

The original seats, if they are still in the park are most likely stored in the tunnel. A narrow passageway that had train tracks inside it where the train and its cars were stored in the winters.

What sort of project? I'm not really up for a phone conversation or meeting. If you have a specific question feel free to post it here and if I know the answer I'll reply and then everyone can see. As Haunted House rides go this was not an impressive one. I'm surprised someone would be making a project out of it...

Planet of the Apes definitely. Darth Vader maybe - but I don't think he appeared until ~1992. In which case I wonder which monster/creature he replaced as they didn't buy any new cars for the ride.
