Haunted Filled Hills of Kentucky
By Chris Perridas
Otter Creek Park of Bradenburg, KY is set between Louisville, KY and Fort Knox
Army Installation. For most of the year it is a quiet, serene place to relax and
commune with nature. Not so, on Halloween! This year, 2007, it became a Field
of Screams. Samhain and his dastardly forces formed a seven acre corn maize
filled with the most heinous things while other lost souls experienced the
Nightmare at Otter Creek film festival.
Ah, but Louisville is a haunted place. From Bardstown's Talbott Tavern, where
the ghost of Jesse James still shoots up the tavern up some nights, to Waverly
Hills, one of the spookiest places on earth, a place where 63,000 tuberculosis
patients died horribly and their bodies disposed of through a terrible death tunnel.
One of the craziest places this year was an old city morgue on Baxter Avenue
converted into a place sure to make a teenage girl scream and hang onto her
boyfriend.
Chris Perridas, though, had the ultimate treat. Every year, Actor's Theater of
Louisville puts on the original Dracula play and this year was filled with live rats
skittering across the stage, gallons of blood, lots of neck biting, chest pouding,
girls in night gowns, wolf howls, gun shots, and explosions galore. Though
Dracula gets it in the end - well actually in the chest - it was a terrific fright-filled
live theater play to die for.
