Little Red Riding Hood and The Big BAD ........

Along a pathway, with ravens peering down from dead branches overhead, guests descended to the darkest part of their journey .... a journey to the middle of a very, Dark Forest.... The fresh scent of pine trees all around belies what lays ahead. Guests walk carefully through a winding damp path laden with forest bark and fresh earth, lit only by foggy shafts of dim moonlight....Woodland creatures stir among the forest.... But it is the hushed silence of the forest that eerily invokes the deepest of fears.... trapped in the middle of the forest, there is a premonition that something evil is coming swiftly their way.

Audible sighs of relief as Little Red Riding Hood appears, lantern in hand, skipping innocently about... stopping to pick flowers from time to time.

But silence soon becomes loud and sinister. Crescendoing drum beats, animals shrieking, a wolf howls plaintively, and the clear sound of someone or 'something' breaking branches getting closer and closer.....

Little Red Riding Hood darts about trying to hide... but to no avail. The Big Bad Wolf leaps out in front of a terrified Little Red Riding Hood.

Roaring, snarling, with claws extended, the Big Bad Wolf towers over Little Red Riding Hood.

"My, what Big Eyes you have" gulps Little Red Riding Hood, who is suddenly very wide eyed herself.

The ' Grimm' lines ensue with the finale "My What Big Teeth you have...." as The Big Bad Wolf licks his chops, he responds. 'The Better To Eat You With." And with that terrifying line, the growling Big Bad Wolf chases a screaming Little Red Riding Hood off into the Dark Forest. More blood curdling screams are heard, ....snarls..... and then silence.... long moments later, the forest crickets are heard.... and nothing else.

Did Little Red Riding Hood get away?

That hope was soon dashed as down the way, a shredded red cape is discovered strewn in the hedge....

Another happy 'ending' ...... for the Big Bad Wolf!

Sleeping Beauty....

Dark Forest Guests walked cautiously further down the ivy corridor. If Little Red Riding Hood met her demise, who could be next? Would there be a Happy Ending at last? Would they get out of the Haunter House alive?

Next was revealed the Beautiful Princess and Handsome Prince dancing in a magically beautiful Palace Garden, with sculptured topiaries, cherry blossom trees, and bouquets of exquisite pastel colored flowers. Foliage and crystals adorn the garden walls.

As the Prince and Princess dance a balletic pas de deux, classical music is heard. Royal Maidens are seen twirling about attending to the Prince and Princess.

But then all changes with a prick of the spinning wheel needle, and the entrance of the very ugly puppet master Maleficent. Thunder is heard as Maleficent casts her fateful spell of sleep on the beautiful lovers and their royal dancers. Maleficent waves her wand and orders her wicked little creatures to wrap the Royals in garden vines.... forever they will lie sleeping in death.

And with this coup, Maleficent has the last dance.....victoriously she reaches skyward as lightning flashes.....

 

Above and Below, The Prince kisses the Princess on the hand, and invites her to dance...

The Fateful Spinning Wheel .....

The Very Evil and Ugly Maleficent enters......

Triumphantly, Maleficent waves her wand and put the royals into a fateful sleep of death

Condemned to Death by Maleficent and Covered by the Garden Vines, the Prince and Princess, lay forever Dead..............

Stunned yet Enthralled Guests about to Leave the Haunted House for ....

The Entrance to the Conservatory.... where haunting memories of Grimm Tales Past reappear in the Present.... A Place where 'innocence is seduced by EVIL!!'

A welcoming treat from the Evil Twin's Doll Collection... or a remnant of the Candy Witch's past children....

Helping hands at the bar....

The Conservatory...... where the Past Comes Back to Life.... and Magical Music Surprises are ......
