Hey everybody, Chrissa here!
and I was invited to Scream N Stream's media night a few days ago
and I'm going to go over why
you absolutely have to go and check out Scream N Stream.
So let's get into it.
Tuesday was the media night preview for Scream N
Stream at the Oviedo Mall where this event is being located this year.
I had a blast seeing all of the other bloggers
and getting an opportunity to hear from the head show writer, Patrick Braillard.
We've worked the last 10 months to really upgrade and update their experience.
We also have a job for you when you enter into the experience.
We're giving you something called an E.N.U.
It's a tech package that you've got to transport from the beginning of station
five and get it to the end of station five because if you don't, all of the zombies
and all of the clowns will break out and wreak havoc across the globe.
It's not a haunted house.
It's a haunted adventure.
You're traveling through a dark ride that you're controlling.
Scream N Scream starts on September
17th and goes until Halloween.
The way that the event works is that you buy your tickets
online on Screamnstream.com and then reserve your time.
The price is $84 per vehicle, but if you go soon,
you can get 20 dollars off by buying online while the offer stands.
You only have to purchase one ticket for your entire car up to eight people.
So feel free to load up your friends in your car with you.
Just remember that everyone in the car
is required to have a legal seat belt in order to enter.
One of the biggest changes that they made this year was allowing visitors
to reserve at time.
So if you get to the mall early and have some time to spare,
you can roam around the mall like we did while we waited for our turn
to go through the drive thru.
While we were there, we walked through really unique shops, antique stores,
and that's a really fun sip and paint shop where we got to pick up a free sample
of zombie juice and we even got a chance
to paint a few spooky things ourselves.
If you don't want to roam around the mall, there's a really cool place here
called the District Eat and Play where we were hanging out.
There's a ton of arcade and video games here.
If you do have kids.
On media night when we arrived
we got put on this waiting list and after about an hour or so of waiting,
we finally got our text that it was our turn.
This year's theme is Clowns and Zombies, where you get to drive through a top
secret facility where new weapons of fear are being created.
Before you enter I do want you to know that whoever is driving
is not allowed to participate in the laser gun portion of the experience.
And the base ticket price gets you three stun guns per vehicle.
But there is a VIP experience that you can purchase for $139
per car or you get up to seven stun guns.
When you get up to the front, you get your pass to enter where you get
instructions to tune your radio into the event station for more info.
"The result is a never before seen species of monster soldiers
designed to elicit - pardon my language - a pee in your pants
moment of unquestionable fear in the enemy while dominating the battlefield."
After that you'll go through a few safety and instructional videos,
get issued your stun guns, and then get a full disinfecting
spray down of everyone in the entire car.
And yes, yes...this is not starting out very well for me, obviously.
The entire experience is roughly about 30 minutes.
And it's probably some of the most fun that I've ever had in a drive
thru Halloween experience.
"C'mon now. You know that tickles, right!
I only wanted to eat one of you!"
I loved that it wasn't just a drive through,
but a whole interactive experience as you go through it.
There are 21 different scenes and each one last about a minute or two long.
And each station has this green light that lets you know
when a scene is over, signaling you to head to the next station.
Each station is completely unique with a different experience
and there are so many surprises along the way.
I was having so much fun shooting down these clowns and zombies with my stun gun
that I almost forgot that I was here to actually film the event.
When you hit a zombie or clown,
they would have these targets on their chest
that would light up whenever you hit them and the scare actors
were so awesome to like react to almost every single shot.
And it was so fun.
If you were looking for a really great interactive Halloween experience, then
you absolutely have to go and check out Scream and scream at the Oviedo Mall.
If you want to check out another fun Halloween event that just got started
this year, then you'll have to check out my overview on Howl-O-Scream
at SeaWorld in Orlando that just popped up on the screen.
Until next time, everyone! I hope you have an amazing day.
And go out and enjoy some Florida sunshine.
