Statesville Haunted Prison

Statesville Prison was the Rock-N-Roll of Haunted attractions. It was intense, terrifying, and a real trip. The actors were simultaneously scary, funny and quick witted. The queue line actors really helped to pass the time and there were staples like Fluffy you could see every year that just really added to the "muchness" that was Statesville. If you didn't get to visit before the Prison closed, the inmates escaped and moved into Hellsgate so you can find them there. As a postscript, I had the awesome opportunity to visit one October and act for a weekend at Statesville and City of the Dead and not only was the attraction amazing because of its set design and costuming but the people that made the magic possible were just the most welcoming and amazing people you can ever meet. It was such a collaborative environment where actors were sharing tips to elicit better scares and emotions from the guests. They really care about their craft and safety and making sure everyone has a great time.
