Have you ever wanted to visit the universe of the Silent Hill games? Me neither--that place is full of headless, murder-dogs and scary nurses...plus it's dusty! But maybe you'd like to visit a theme-park style haunted house patterned after the games? Okay, I'm in for that too. This October you'll have your chance. Just head down to Brea, California and visit Sinister Pointe where maze-master Jeff Schiefelbein has teamed up with Konami to create a spook-house with all the Silent Hill trappings and existential dread.
As much as I'm looking forward to visiting The Silent Hill maze at Sinister Pointe, I gotta wonder if the creeping, gradual dread and terror of the Silent Hill games can make the transition to the leap-out-and-startle-you world of amusement park haunted house. I'll find out in a couple months: The attraction runs through October... I'll be there; will you?
(Unrelated side note: When I first played Silent Hill, I was amused that the spooky lake was called "Toluca Lake." At the time, I lived in Toluca Lake, California, which is the well-heeled, monied neighbor to North Hollywood. Real Toluca Lake is a little scary, but it ain't spooky.)

I don't know what part of the OC you live in that's so scary, maybe the old part, like Santa Ana with all the crime. Most of the OC is very, very nice. Los Angeles, now that's a scary place. It's like a trip to hell. Brea is a very nice area, it's near the LA border, so it's probably a great place for a haunted house.

Man, how come when everything's in "Orange County" it's always the one in California? I would love to go to this, but I live in the wrong Orange County.

I have lived in and near Orange County all my life so I will easily be here. But still I want them to actually make this scary because in reality Orange County is one of the scariest places on Earth already.

I lived in Orange County for two years. It's pretty terrifying (for someone that grew up in Queens, NY).

Damn I don't live close enough. I've always wanted to go to a haunted house that was silent hill themed.
Oh btw there's a Lake Side Amusement park in Colorado and the main thing about the amusement park is the original merry go around

My wife won't let me avoid this, Brea is pretty close too.
