Necropolis City

Senator’s Log: October 31, 2011 – 9 pm. It was one year ago that the people from The 13th Gate opened their doors to me for a behind the scenes look to one of America’s Top Haunted Attractions. A lot of time, work, and energy go into making this place a success. The constant hands of the crew to maintain the look of the set from the endless wear and tear. The great talent from the performers to make the house live and breathe to attract an endless number of supporters.

However there is always the chance to raise the bar. A chance to feature a new way of bringing something to life. Or in this case something back from the dead.

Enter Necropolis 13. A life size New Orleans Cemetery complete with untold horrors and a sense of the undead. Powered by one’s innovation and a little Voodoo Magic, people who long left the realm of the living have come back to bring fear to the surface dwellers. Filled with priestess, fire dancers, and zombies it was worth the nearly two year wait for its completion. After all when you go all out you want it done right to keep the people coming back for more.

So after going through the new addition twice, I was more than impressed with it. There were time I was looking for the director to yell cut since it looks like a movie set. Only the zombies didn’t stop. Well not until they claimed as many victims as possible. Good thing I was able to get out intact, heard they had a craving for dark meat.

This haunting season is almost over but if you get a chance to come here it would be worth the trip to see this place in action.

Plus I hear that something else is being worked on. Will keep you posted on this one.
