I noticed something sad...
This year's incarnation of Scared.com looks like the neglected and all-but-forgotten stepchild of the Denver haunt scene this year. It actually bums me out a little bit, because they used to compete so closely with Haunted Denver
This year, however...
The very front page graphics have been updated with the 2007 guild haunts, but all of the front page text is still from last year. For example:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>
On Scared.com you can find the most accurate and up to date information about the best haunted houses in the Denver Metro Area, such as: The 13th Door, 13th Street Manor, The 25th Hour, The Asylum, Carnevil, Frightmare, Haunted Mansion, Primitive Fear, Realm of Terror, and The Terror Zones.[/b]
Really? The 25th Hour? The Terror Zones? Wow, that's some "up to date information" all right.
Then I clicked the Ratings/Reviews page. The only reviews there are from 2006, and surprise, surprise -- the only haunts reviewed there are the infamous south-side haunts. Seriously, do they own HauntedRatings.com AND Scared.com? It still surprises the hell out of me that other haunts pay thousands of dollars to be part of that guild when the website is pretty much hogged by one group of haunt owners. It must be all about the newspaper ads, because otherwise I can't see why the rest of them shell out the money. Interesting that all of those reviews are from AOL addresses, when AOL lets you make up tons of email aliases from the same account. Coincidence? Hmm...
At any rate, I don't know what good readers will get from reviews of haunts like Alien Terror and The 25th Hour which have each been resurrected and are now dead yet again.
Scared.com was really working hard to be the big haunted house website on the market for the past few years. Did they give up this year, or what?
