12:50 pm - Haunted places.
I have WAY WAY to many photos from these places to put them up like
normal. So each one has been thumbnail and turned into a gallery. Faster,
easier for me.
If I don't include a surl its because it was an October only event and
since I am posting this in November, well the build isn't there anymore.
Sorry!
Curse of the Mummy's
Tomb
Remember the Isle of Fright last year? Same sim new Halloween theme!
This year Kate turned the island into a fantastic haunted desert. The zombies
and spiders and other beasties where there, as well as new fun things.
My Zombie whacking stick didn't work on them though. There was a quest
to solve a riddle, that I did not manage to do. The pyramid maze was really
hard and I got tped home a lot..which sucked as you had to start ALL OVER
from the beginning then. I am now eagerly awaiting to see what she does
to the sim for Christmas
Haunted
Isle of Wyrms
Isle of Wyrms set up a spooky area for Halloween. A mini hunt, a build
a monster contest that I got no photos of, and they turned the cathedral
dragon black and orange!
Haunted
New Babbage
A few areas in New Babbage Halloweened it up. I loved the big pumpkin
head on Tiny Tin's head. I am pleased that I got a photo of the ghost train.
It was taken after Halloween and the train ONLY shows up at night.
Murder Mystery
ball
Octobers ball and build contest. Theme? Murder mystery masquerade, with
working coffin build contest.
Random haunted
places
Some random places about SL that has Halloween stuff. I forgot to get
links or anything.
Haunted
Steelhead
Steelhead was great, there was a spooky house contest and a number of
folk entered it. And they put some ghosts in the mines. I decorated my
store but forgot to enter the contest. Oh well. It still looked neat.
Mouselands
Haunted Mansion SURL
This, is a replica of the Disney Haunted Mansion and OMEGA was it detailed
and well done! You get given a hud that preloads textures and sounds so
very little waiting while on the doombuggy. I was so pleasantly surprised
by the way they managed to include all your favorite bits from the real
life ride. A MUST see for Disney buffs year round.
I still haven't explored the whole sim, if the rest of the place is
as good as this, I will be SUPER ultra impressed.
Haunted Coal
mines in Steeltopia SURL
I had fun exploring these. The cart ride has two routes so of course
in took both. And I'm still not sure if I found all the little side trips
you can take while down there. It was great fun. I was told I might need
my zombie smacking stick but didn't find a need to use it.
Dark Dharma
Haunted Manor SURL
This place was ok, I wasn't really impressed by all the for sale boxes
set about to buy the items in the house. Though I may go back for the spooky
tea party scene..
Bentham Manor
SURL
This place is owned by the same person that owns Bentham Forest. It
was, ok, Again I was not impressed by the vast amounts of boxes to
buy things set about, However the things for sale where quite well
made. Just ruined the ambiance for me. And the main house is the EXACT
same house used in Dark Dharma, I didn't bother to check to see who got
it from whom. But still, walking into it was a bit of..HEY I've been in
this house before.
Also Zombie smacking stick got used here. But damage wasn't enabled
so if I got bit I wasn't sent home.
Looter's Ghost
Town and Abandoned Mine SURL
I enjoyed this place. It has a little mystery to solve, which I did
far faster then I thought would take. I DID need my zombie smacking stick
here, and again, no damage so no getting sent home.
Willow
Grove Haunted House SURL
This place, took for freaking EVER to fully rez everything. They really
could use the preloader hud that Mouseworlds uses. Its a ride and your
really NOT supposed to get off it and walk through. I managed to one night
after riding it several times in a row and not rezzing everything or being
able to take the shots I wanted. Didn't get caught that time but on a return
trip to show my house mate something I got caught and TPed home.
Now I do recommend if you go you ride it, there are a number of effects
triggered by the cart, but if your after photos, its gonna take a while
to get them.
Most of the rooms have a horror movie theme to them. There's a few that
I couldn’t place the move but then I don't know all the slasher flicks
out there. I mostly want to know what the one with the corn field is. Which
is what I was showing my house mate to ask him if he knew when suddenly
I was at home.
I would recommend this one more if they weren't so anal about not walking
through the very SLOW rezzing ride. Really, its ridiculous how long it
took this place to rez fully.
And that's all he places I went to. Behind the cut are a few shots of
what I set up on my home sim for the season
( haunted, my place )
And that was my Halloween around the Grid. Anyone find any other neat
Anndd...WOW, with the exception of some randomness and Breezies Rez day party the only stuff in my photos folder are a couple places I'm not done taking photos of! That's a big clean out of the folder!
