Wander the haunted woods |
769 West Main Street Two miles north of Rivergate Mall on Gallatin Road Nashville, TN 37075 United States +1 615 822 5106 http://www.deathvalleyhauntedw... |
Not for the faint of heart. You may think you've taken a walk in the woods before, but were you ever chased through them by a mad man brandishing a chainsaw? Ever gazed into the glowing red eyes of a shadowy figure creeping around the trees? And what about that body over there? Is it really dead, or did it move? Have a frightfully good time and support a good cause. Bring a canned food item to help support the local food bank and get a dollar off the $10 admission. Review © 2007, Wcities |
