Do you dare attend? Going to Fright Fest in 2008?...the experience is simply haunting!
The 6 Flags Fright Fest is smaller than both the Knott's Berry Farm and Universal Studios Hollywood theme parks' Halloween festivities. On the other hand, the Magic Mountain Fright Fest comes included in the cost of your normal admission ticket---even if you've entered the park with a discounted ticket or a season pass! This is really GREAT news for anyone on a budget! To see monsters prowling at other parks requires a hefty extra admission fee! Fright Fest begins at dark, by the eerily glowing giant pumpkin at the Gotham City gates! Mist begins to roll over the crowd, and the lights dim. Trying hard to see through the banks of clouds rolling in, terrified onlookers discover that an army of monsters, ogres and rag-tag villains has been unleashed on the crowd! Six Flags Fright Fest MonstersIf you feel you're being followed...you're probably RIGHT!
A big part of the fun that ensues after the monsters are released en masse comes because of the dedication of the monsters themselves. This group of un-dead ogres really seemed to knock themselves out at trying to scare the crowd.
Since Magic Mountain really turns on their fog machines full-blast, this can be easier than one might imagine. A monster can seem to come out of thin air! One advantage to having a shorter period when monsters perform is that during their brief stint "on stage," they really perform!
Others, like the monsters seen in pictures on this page, seem to enjoy having their handiwork admired. After all, it did take each monster quite awhile to get into the costumes, masks, and all the makeup that these "scare actors" wear!
Many people at Six Flags Magic Mountain during the Halloween festivities ignore them altogether. After all, the rides are up & running, and many think of this as a good time to get rid of some of the crowds who'd otherwise be making the lines longer! But, many people love the pulse-pounding fun of a good game of cat 'n mouse with the monsters. Most spend their time running away screaming...or doubling back to look for more monsters if they've actually managed to escape!
In the picture to your left, a monster poses as if trying to axe down one of the scary Magic Mountain statues decorating the park for Halloween. Don't worry---monsters don't run around in dense foggy areas wielding axes! All the blood you see at the celebration is strictly fake... or IS IT??? Six Flags Fright Fest Special EffectsWhen there's fog and eerie lighting, then the monsters come out frighting!
Fog...and plenty of it!...is a major mood-setter at the Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest.Banks of fog billow over the crowd. And when it begins to thin out, more fog starts spewing from the machines which create it, once again.
To your left, you're viewing a picture of fog stirring around on the ground below Magic Mountain's "Superman the Escape" ride. 
In fact, if you've ever thought of using fog effects at your own party, the Magic Mountain Fright Fest is a great place to study the uses and effects of fog machines. Have you ever wondered how a fog machine works? You can get a simple answer on the
"How Stuff Works" website's fog-making page.
That's the www.GotFog.com website. You'll find out quite a number of things you never knew about fake fog! 
Here's yet another picture of how billows of fog rise to cover the events at Magic Mountain's Fright Fest. What lies enshrouded within the fog bank? You'll find out when a monster's growl suddenly rings in your ears!
