You should really add Nashville Nightmare to the Top Haunts list. The quality of the set design and make-up effects are very close if not exceeding Hollywood’s standards!
Thanks, Mike! We added Nashville Nightmare to the Top Haunted Houses.
Hey that’s great! Glad I could be of some help.
Guided by Voices is playing The Basement on 10/31.
