Halloween Places in SL: Serendipity Haunted House Ride and Bentham Forest

Those looking for a fun Halloween show will find one in the Serendipity sim, where a haunted house ride awaits to take people through it’s corridors.

The sign over the house reads “The Greatest Halloween Ride in the World - EVER!” This over-the-top exaggeration aside, the haunted house is a very good one. The few times I was here, the exhibit was always a bit crowded. So one will have to wait for a while for everything to rez, notably the ride seats of which once someone sits on them, they will began to slowly move down the track after a few seconds. It is recommended that visitors set their viewers to midnight, switch off music and make sure sound effects are on, stay in the seat, and for the best view go to mouselook

The “twenty rooms of terror” offer much to scare the visitors. For over fifteen minutes, one will be taken through graveyards, swamps, rickety buildings, monster habitats, hellish caverns of lava, and other scenes. As I went down the track, I could overhear (via type) couples on dates ahead “shriek” at the sights and laugh nervously. At the entry/exit area, there are a few freebies one can get, including a Halloween flag and some virtual candy.

The ride is at Serendipity (175, 100, 28) and will be up until November 5

While haunted houses are full of things that bop up as if to say “boo,” other places are more subtle in their spookiness. The Bentham Forest, also known as the Bentham Haunted Dark Forest, is among those. The sim is dark and foreboding, with dim lights making one wonder if something is out there looking upon them.

The place is highly detailed, with paths one can go down, or off them if more daring. With many places to look around in, there are some secrets to uncover. I heard there were some quests that could be found there to complete, though I have yet to find them. Still, this spooky sim is a fun and scary place to explore on Halloween.

The sim is at Wasted Night (79,117, 25).

Haunted House at Haunted Halloween Island

In the Six Sisters sim, I found a haunted house that offers not just tricks but a treat, Haunted Halloween Island.

Porting over, it’s a small walk from the small island to the larger one in which you enter the big spooky house. It’s asked that you set your viewer light to Midnight for the darkness to give a scarier feel. And the result is some scary fun, with ghosts floating through the air, goulies popping out at you, and pictures suddenly changing looks. And if you’re not careful where you click, you might end up in something’s clutches. And in the background, a fun soundtrack to add to the element of the place.

But not everything about the house is scary. There is a “treat” in the form of a “Haunted House Hunt.” Until October 30th, visitors will be given a notecard with 30 questions. The one whom answers the most correctly will win a top prize of 500 Lindens, with tiebreakers resolved with a new set of questions.

The haunted house is at Haunted Halloween Island @ Journey of Souls, Six Sisters (52, 40, 24).

“Cross the bridge, walk the path, and enter the house, if you dare! Once you get past the front door, you can not turn back! Good luck getting out - MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Vampire Bat Spotted at M&M Creations

M&M Creations is known to host a number of critters, from small birds to cats to sheep. But recently something new has been seen there, a six-foot vampire bat.

It’s unclear exactly when the winged hunter showed up. It was early October when it was first spotted. Since then, it’s been seen at both night and day, soaring through the air, or touching down to rest a bit. It has been seen resting in the trees, though it has not been spotted sleeping in them, so it’s thought to be taking shelter in the buildings.

Occasionally, a bite mark has been found on one of the larger animals, suggesting the vampire bat has been feeding off of their blood. But there’s no report of the bat acting aggressive to people, with a few claims that it has been winking at women as it flies by.

Why has the bat been hanging around the M&M sim? Perhaps it is the extra attention to detail 10 and Marcthur Goosson, the owners of the place, have given the animals, trees, and the other things in the sim, most of which are available for sale, “In retrospect, considering their realistic appearance, it’s no real surprise it chose these trees to rest in and these animals to feed on.”

For now, nothing is being done to discourage the duskwing from M&M Creations. Since it arrived in October, perhaps after Halloween and the Day of the Dead, the bat will return to more familiar hangouts such as caverns and gothic-themed clubs. Until then, visitors are free to wear scarves or garlic necklaces.

M&M Creations is located at the DoubleMM sim. To get there, click HERE.

Halloween fun and a GRAND opening!

Last night was a whirlwind of parties but the party to be seen at was the grand opening of the beautifully built Casablanca Hotel at the Best of SL boulevard it was good to bump into a few friends Pup Witherspoon looked amazing as did Raven Pennyfeather of Rfyre and of course Frolic himself. The hotel looked absolutely amazing whatever time I set the sun at - congratulations to the designers and of course Frolic and best of SL who have lived up to the name with this elegant addition.
This was a great party at Flashman's with a few of the crew. Bixyl turned up to Bat away the Rats running around - but wasn't very effective and unfortunately my spike heels kept missing them too but Mami's newest gown from Styles of Edo was a huge hit all round - look out for the release soon! (I just love previews, means I can wear something no-one else has yet!)
I am not sure about 'beauty and the beast' but beautiful Breezes and the bat? Just don't let him too near your neck Bree!............
I hope everyone had spooky fun last night! I know I did.

Terrifying Fun at the Tower

If you dare and don't scare take in the sights and frights at Barbary Coast Estates Tower of Terror.
What a fun/terrifying evening, most know I love a treasure hunt so when I had news of a spooky one I just had to go.
Taking Breezes with me and urging the crew to come along we landed in a graveyard with a notice and a witches hat and there started the fun.
From the graveyard landing point you have to delve into the layers below to find the hidden hats and win some spooky prizes for your home. Each level is completely different and the hats harder and harder to find. We had a huge laugh trying out the poses and games, from hanging ourselves to a surprising bed! You have to try them out for yourself as I don't want to spoil it for you :)
At the end of the descent to terror is a TP point to a final PRIZE! You must go through every floor to find the final goodies. - Good Luck for those that dare!
Barbary coast have a lot planned for Halloween watch out for more news.
