A Great New Freebie That Really Finishes Off The Danger Run Package

Fri, 3 Oct 2008 14:13:50 0000

The Danger Run will be open again tonight for its 2nd Friday of operation. Last weekend was a great start to yet another awesome season. We got an ENORMOUS amount of good feedback on our haunted houses this year along with everyone having a blast on the run itself.

At this point, everyone seems to love all the FREEBIES we throw in with your admission. Not to mention the discounted haunted houses! So, this week we decided to get to work and throw in one more FREEBIE. We wanted everyone to be able to make an entire night out of the Danger Run that can be matched by no other haunt ANYWHERE.

Now, with your admission you will receive a coupon for FREE ADMISSION (NO COVER) at Angel's Rock Bar, Hotel, or Tengo Sed Cantina! What a great way tom complete a night full of fun and fright! It definitely completes the entire Danger Run package to give you an ENTIRE night of entertainment at the low price of ONLY $14.95 per person! You won't find a better deal ANYWHERE! It is is truly The Most Fun You've Ever Had In Your Car!

Only 2 Weeks Away!

Mon, 8 Sep 2008 17:26:36 0000

This week has been a big week for the Danger Run. We have confirmed all of the clues & courses (yet again) and sent the clues off to the printers. We also received the hundreds of thousands (actually over 0.5 million pieces!) of printed material which will be getting distributed at the beginning of next week. Our radio spots have been recorded and are ready to roll over your speakers and our television spots are on their way to production. It is a very exciting week in one of the final 2 weeks of production.

Can you believe it?! Kentucky and Indiana’s BEST haunted attraction opens in only two weeks! The Danger Run is back and it is like never before. For the 2008 season, Danger Run is coming at the Louisville area with loaded barrels including two all NEW HAUNTED HOUSES! Each Louisville area haunted house included on the run is completely unique. They are packed full with terrifying scares and special effects that you have to see to believe. We are sure that we are bringing you the very best haunts that Louisville has to offer!

Other than Louisville’s SCARIEST HAUNTED HOUSE S, the Danger Run is also throwing in few additional EXTRAS. With you Danger Run admission, you will not only get into 2 terrifying haunted attractions, you will also receive FREE FOOD from DQ Grill & Chill. So, while you are out cracking the clues on the ghost run you can get a little grub on your way (no purchase necessary!).

After filling your tummy, if you have brought along at least 3 friends with you (4 or more people) then we will also buy your gas! That’s right! The Danger Run is going to give you $10 in FREE GAS just for bringing a full car load! This will cover the entire cost of the gas you will use while driving the twisted maze of streets to our very spooky haunted locations.

Of course, we couldn’t call it the Danger Run without complimentary fangs! With your admission to the Danger Run, every person in your car will receive fangs to help to scare the demons and monsters you will encounter at each haunted house. Who knows, you might be so menacing that the haunt may offer you an acting job!

Finally, one of the most important aspects of the Danger Run that should not be over looked is the CASH PRIZES! Yes, for going out and having a night of Halloween fun we are offering the 1^st and 2^nd place winners a cash prize. How do you win? Well, the Danger Run is a game in which you solve rhyming riddles to solve your way on some of Kentuckiana’s spookiest roads to find two of the area’s most frightening haunted houses. The object of the game is to follow these clues precisely as we have designed them and come as close to the actual mileage of the course as possible. The two that come the closest will win the booty! Can you believe it?! Just for having fun you could win CASH!

So, if you don’t yet know what the Danger Run is or if you are already a fan, make sure you check out this year’s website for all the latest information on this year’s ghost run. You can find us at www.dangerrun.com or you can also call our toll free frightline 1-800-771-9750. You don’t want to miss “The Most Fun You’ve Ever Had In Your Car!”

An Amazing Danger Runner Testimonial

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:06:51 0000

I came across this just doing a random search and I have asked the author if I could show it off. With her permission, I'd like you all to take a look at what she wrote.

"Danger Run was a success! We had so much fun and for a change we actually finished the Run with TEN minutes to spare. (1:50 a.m.) As for the contest, I felt our mileage was good, but our "count" of stops was probably off. Regardless of winning or losing, we had the best time. The final haunt was in the middle of NOWHERE. We arrived in Louisville to our starting gate at 9:50 and we started on our journey at 10:15. We took our time, stopping periodically to read ahead, not that it always helps or makes sense. Here's an example of one of the clues:

"A Liar would tell you that a liar would say:
' At the spear with two heads, right isn't the way?'
You must think just a little
In solving this riddle.
Or you'll make the wrong choice, and with mileage you'll pay. "

What way would you go?

Matt was the driver and he does a wonderful job at remaining calm considering how stressful it is to make last second changes in an area you are completely unfamiliar with. (We only had one "Oh, shit!" moment.) When I'm not rushed, I love being lost. For me, it's a lovely feeling, ripe with possibility and an accompanying sense of "smallness". Not being the driver, I can afford that luxury. Finally, I figured out the reason I love Danger Run. As you read the clues, your brain can MAKE the clues fit what you're seeing. You can drive along for quite a distance before you realize you've substituted your reality for the actual designated path. Until you see something unequivocal that tells you that you are correct, it's a guessing game. During one particularly challenging section, we had made several turns, followed a half-dozen clues and gone several miles. As we approached what would be our next turn, I said, "If this is Dreibel, we made the right choices." Sure enough, it WAS. It was like we won the lottery. We screamed with the delight of our accomplishment! That feeling is euphoric and addictive."

You can find this on her website at http://my-pathos.livejournal.com/ about midway down the page. Anyway, it was one of the best descriptions of the run we had ever read...a HUGE thanks goes out to her!

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:13:28 0000

The greatest Halloween event in the nation is now on the horizon. We are within a month of the Danger Run’s opening night.

So make sure to keep an eye out at DQ Grill & Chill, Dominos, Lowes, & Speedway for all the additional info you’re looking for! If for nothing else, the ads are pretty snazzy this year and you should definitely swing by and pick one up just to take a gander at it. Make sure to give us some feedback about it if you think about it!

In other news, the 2 haunted houses are looking great! If either of them opened today, you would have an amazing show. I can’t wait to see what they both look like completely finished. They are both entirely different styles of haunted houses and they are both oozing with fear. I have been a haunted house goer for many years (not to mention a haunt designer!) and I truly think that these haunts are 2 of the VERY BEST haunted houses in the Louisville area. Combining them both in one night along with the ghost run I will be surprised if you make hit home with dry pants! It is going to be a heck of a terrifying show and we are sure that you will have more fun at our Halloween event than any other attraction in town.
