HalloWeekends Changes Names of Haunts
Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH will be changing the names of a couple haunts this Halloween season to please mental health advocates that complained last year.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI, said Cedar Point promoted false stereotypes last Halloween by calling a haunted house "Dr. D. Menteds Asylum for the Criminally Insane" and a musical show "The Edge of Madness: Still Crazy."
The Sandusky Register quotes CEO Dick Kinzel of parent company Cedar Fair as saying the haunted house will keep the hospital theme but be renamed. He says Cedar Point doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
A park spokesman says the show will change to "The Edge of Madness: Six Feet Under."
NAMI Ohio chapter executive director Terry Russell says Cedar Point is moving in the right direction.

The Land Of Illusion Will Start Off the Haunt Season!
The haunt season will be here sooner than later. The season officially kicks off with the opening of The Land of Illusion in Middletown, OH on September 2nd. As far as I know, this is one of the earliest openings for a haunt with the exception of haunts that are open year round. The crowds will obviously be small opening weekend for LOI. But considering how much marketing they do, we all may be surprised at how many people show up early in the season. Their brand new haunt "Field of Screams" may also help entice those who want to get lost in the corn.
