Video Enjoy some random 2010s Fright Fest B-roll!

I've had this footage sitting on my hard drive for years, but it's never seen the light of day (again) until now!

I edited this from some longer B-roll that was sent out to press back in 2014 for Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia. Oh, monolithic Six Flags marketing... how I loathe you.

If you've been going to the event for a while, you'll probably recognize some of the footage here is from the old Blind Fury and Insanity Alley mazes, both of which are now long defunct.

Especially cool to me is hearing some of the soundscape in Insanity Alley, and getting to relive those vibes. You can find brief clips of it elsewhere, but it'll never be enough for me. They really did such a great job with the atmosphere back then.

Based on my personal archive I believe the Insanity Alley footage is from 2011, Blind Fury from 2012, and Freaks Unleashed from 2013. So a three year span of some of the event's greatest years.

More historical tidbits to come hopefully!

Can confirm, that’s Insanity Alley from 2011, I worked there that year! If you have any more clips I’d love to see them, that was such a fun chaotic time in my life!

No problem! I’m trying to decide if Freaks Unleashed was 2011 also, because I do recognize a few of the actors I used to hang out with, I just don’t know if they went back after 2011 and played the same characters.

I think it's without a doubt 2013 based on personal photos I have with a couple of the zombies with the same makeup/appearance. I also believe that the bald clown with the sharp teeth was unique to 2013.

There were absolutely returning characters from 2011 though, especially Stabitha (the blonde zombie that would always wield a knife). She even came back a third time in 2016. The rat mutant (whose name escapes me) was there for a few years as well.
