Festival of Fear '09: Fort Fright

I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned the corner of an aisle and saw haunt props. Could it be my kind of people are here?

A welcome addition to the FanExpo this year was Fort Fright, a haunted attraction designed within the lower fort of Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario.

Usually, the only haunt promotions I see at the Expo are for Canada's Wonderland, which is fine but there are so many other great haunts in Ontario - professional and home haunts - that it's a shame more people don't know about them.

Plus, Fort Fright also offers a 40 minute ghost walk for people who enjoy history mixed in with their ghoulish experience.

I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come where the Expo is concerned. For a horror event that takes place at the end of summer, I'd expect to see more promotions of Halloween related items.

I was so pleased to see them I almost danced with this guy. But he was all caught up in his card game, and you know how men are when they're trying to bluff their friends.
