My Haunting Philosophy You won't find any chainsaws in my Haunted House, and very little blood and gore. No Freddy, no Jason etc. etc. It is my opinion that too many commercial Haunted Houses today are really Slash and Gore Horror Houses rather than "Haunted". When I think of the word Haunted I think of ghosts, goblins, the supernatural, and things that go bump in the night. Those types of attractions that are gory and disgusting have gotten away from what Halloween is really about. They emphasize violence, murder, dismemberment, sometimes Satanic themes, and are more on par with what makes a person slow down and gawk at a car crash. When I visit a Haunted Attraction I'd rather have the hairs on the back of my neck stand up rather than being grossed out so much that I want to throw up.  I've never been a fan of the slasher film genre. You won't find that type of stuff at Kingsbury Cemetery.  The whole chainsaw thing has been so overdone in my opinion. Besides, the chainsaw killer was someone else's idea and character. So is Freddy Kreuger, and Jason Voorhees as well. I like to create my own stuff and hopefully people coming though my Haunted House won't be seeing the same stuff you can see a few miles down the road. Not that I'm averse to borrowing (well ok stealing) a good idea or effect for my haunt when I see one. Do people jump and scream time and time again when they get to the chainsaw scene in other haunts even though they've seen them year after year after year? Sure they do, and other haunted attraction owners sometimes will say that if you have a haunted house you're crazy not to have a chainsaw guy because it's an easy scare. Well, the easiest isn't always the best and I intend to be the best Haunt in the Twin-Tiers / Finger Lakes region of New York. I prefer a more gothic Victorian era spooky-scary type of scene in my haunted attraction. Creating a truly scary Haunted House done without all the blood and guts is much more challenging to do well. I have also been slowly applying the latest in Haunted House technology and products to enhance Kingsbury Cemetery. We are trying to be a high tech sophisticated haunt but one that doesn't forget that a good actor scare can be worth ten times what a sophisticated animatronic can do. We continue to strive to improve both the high tech eye candy and the haunt actors every year. I can guarantee that no other haunted house in the Twin Tiers / Finger Lakes area has invested as much in their props and people as we have. Come and see the difference.

No Chainsaws
