Knott’s Scary Farm 2009: Lockdown The Asylum Video

Lockdown The AsylumHollywood Gothique is a little bit slow with its video editing this year, but never fear – we have mass quantities of great video footage from this year’s Halloween attractions. For example, here is our first video from the 2009 Knotts Berry Farm Halloween Haunt: a trip through the new maze, Lockdown The Asylum, which is situated where the old Mangler Asylum used to be, not far from the Ghost Rider rollercoaster.

When we reviewed the new mazes at Knott’s 2009 Halloween Haunt, we found Lockdown to be enjoyable though not overwhelming when we took our tour of Knott’s Scary Farm a couple weeks ago. Looking back on the video, there are plenty of scares and monsters, and the whole experience is obviously great fun, so perhaps we were being too hard in our initial assessment.
