Hey! That's Knott Scary (Farm)
October 22, 2000

Halloween is positively my favorite holiday. I love the masquerade and the macabre sense of humor that encompasses the holiday. One of the highlights of the Halloween season is that all the local theme parks theme-out for the holidays, a tradition started by Knott's Berry Farm. Normally, Knott's doesn't rank up there with my favorite theme parks, but it is still one of the best Halloween theme parks out there. And so, in true Metalhealth posse fashion, we rounded up the troops to take a Halloween jaunt thru the Haunt...

The night started out a bit more chaotic than planned. We were all supposed to meet up at the Garden Grove Sound Arena and then journey to the park in a caravan together. Jeff ended up getting lost, and we hunted for people for a while. One of the highlights, however, was a quick pose by the Po Folks restaurant. Why? I have no idea... Anyway, here's them po' folks Mike Bear, Ana Greco, Dave Reiss, and Dave Watson under the restaurants warm glowing lights.

Tony, Carol, and Christof participated in the Pre-Scare dinner, so we met them inside the park. Here's the core group, with the no-longer-lost Jeff on the far right. We got a lot of comments that night from park attendees and ride attendants regarding the fact that we were a big group of longhairs (sorry Tstm!!) and that people hadn't seen so many metal looking people traveling together in a long time.

A little later in the night, we met up with Joe Verastegui and his party...

You're wondering what the hell is going on here, aren't you? As we walked through the dark, foggy pathways of the park, we came across a round, unattended stage. Someone (I think it was Joe??) had the bright idea that we should all lay around it and take a picture, and so here we are. No sooner had we gotten up than other parties started following suit (copycats!!!). Park security quickly took care of them and we fled undetected, hahahahah!!!
