review: rotting hill cemetery

There is nothing better than a haunt that comes alive as you watch it. A great example of this is the legendary (and now defunct) House of Restless Spirits - a haunt which featured timed effects like ghost fish swimming in a pail of water and a slowly breathing grave mound. These elements of surprise and wonder are difficult to achieve, however some very special haunts have succeeded in doing so. Rotting Hill Cemetery is one of these special experiences, and we are thrilled to witness their first year as a high caliber home haunt.

Rotting Hill Cemetery is created by Dudley Beene with the help of his friend, Randy Frank. This haunted display runs on a timed loop that incorporates synched animatronics, special effects, and theatrical sound and lighting. Visitors will enjoy watching a cemetery that comes to life in the darkest hours of the night. The cemetery’s three protagonists include a ghost floating above its grave, a skeleton who can’t escape its casket, and the bust of a woman (“Marie”) whose slit neck pours out green blood. These characters exchange very clever quips and puns, creating an atmosphere that combines the spectral melancholy of the Haunted Mansion with the hijinks of the Enchanted Tiki Room. There is also a very impressive effect worth noting in which the cemetery’s sign, “Notting Hill”, transforms into “Rotting Hill” during a flash of lightning.

The creators of Rotting Hill Cemetery have brought to life a truly magical experience. We hope that you can take the time to pay Marie and her friends a visit and enjoy their wickedness and wit!
