Man this shit should be on PBS!

@spookshowhauntedscreampark504 5 месяцев назад

Seriously a beautiful story. Owning, operating, acting in, maintaining, everything and anything to do with a professional haunted attraction is total labor of love. Hail you guys! 🤘🎃

Statesville was one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and I will forever be grateful for being part of such a historical show. Thank you for the memories Statesville!!

I'm crying over a closed haunted house in a state I've never even been to ;w;

All the tears in the world. Missing this place so much today!

As a haunt actor getting ready to go into my 25th year as an actor I feel the pain and joy watching this video. I never made it to your haunt but thank you as a fellow haunters for what you did! I am not sure how I will keep emotions in check when I finish my last night as an actor. Great tribute video!

@aTiela_theHun Год назад

Alternating between smiling so much my face hurt and just openly weeping. Truly a beautiful tribute to a uniquely spectacular place. The time I spent in this building with these people...has affected me in ways I can't really describe. It really was just....special.

I was only part of the Hells Gate Family. But I have been to/through Statesville numerous times. I know that at Hells Gate we were all a family so I can only imagine the feeling of the final curtain call. But now Statesville and Hells Gate are one big dysfunctional family... Love It.. Good luck to each and every one of you.

@ryans7871 Год назад

37 minute DOTLD video? What. A. Treat. Didn't think it was possible to pack so much emotion into one episode. I've been a follower for many years, watched all of your videos but sadly never made it to Statesville. Thank you for taking me along your journey. I've never even been to this place or met these people but still cried while watching this - haha. This channel doesn't get the views or subscribers it truly deserves. Wishing you all the best with Hells Gate and what the future holds.

What a show , what a company, what wonderful people. CHEERS FROM MAYOR DON

@alyssapapesh2942 Год назад

I promised myself I wouldn’t cry but watching everything come down and hearing the music from the rooms one more time did it for me 🥲 Statesville will always have a special place in my heart the 9 years i spent behind those walls helped shape me into the person I am today.

@Takriminos704 Год назад

Dammit! I saw me as the Doctor and it brings back the memories. I miss STATESVILLE!!!

@tonysmithyoungblood Год назад

I love the way you juxtaposed the haunt rooms in operation and then being torn down. Brilliant editing! I'm really sad I never got to visit Statesville.

@jimmydilley9138 Год назад

What make a truly great Haunted House is the legacy it leaves on the lives of the cast that made that haunt great! Thanks for sharing this with us all!

@charlottehall4316 Год назад

Thank you thank you thank. To statesville. To days of the living dead. To zombie army Productions. I grew up here. Thank you for giving my sisters, myself, a so so many a stable loving place to call home. Forever thankful.

@umm_mimi7412 Год назад

Statesville and dotld got me into the industry. Even if I didn't get the opportunity to be a part of Statesville, I'm still extremely grateful for it.

@tylerbeauchamp9405 Год назад

Right in the feels. I’m so blessed that I was able to experience it. When I seen it was the final year, there was no way I was going to miss it.

@tr08058 Год назад

If you ever wonder why haunt people love what we do so much, please take the time to watch this. Zombie Army is a family with an amazing story. This hit me right in the feels and I never even worked at Statesville. I am so happy the prisoners have found their home with us at HellsGate. Long live the Statesville Energy! Feed the Beast!

@jessicablair9413 Год назад

I was happy to call Statesville my home. I'm so proud of the people that were featured that I got to know as my own family. Always feed the beast -pixy

@WILD_HAIR Год назад

I was in attendance on that last night! I will miss Statesville and this video just punched me in the feels so hard! I love everything you guys do! See you at Hells Gate!

@miacontreras1782 Год назад

I miss you, Statesville. Thank you for all you’ve done for us. I’ll miss it forever ❤

Seeing this and knowing my dad used to work here in the early 2000s…it brought tears to my eyes

@tylerbeauchamp9405 Год назад

Watching this for the third time while sitting in my car on lunch struggling to hold it together while watching it because this industry is just so incredible. Seeing what John and the Zombie Army have done just gives me so much hope that one day I will be able to create or be apart of something this amazing.

@thomasfoley8268 Год назад

Best video of Statesville

@crownparkour 5 месяцев назад

I’m sad it took me so long to get around to watching this. I got to go for the last year for the first time. And it was a blast! This video is what drives inspiration to do what we do. Grateful to have been able to see the show and grateful to have people in the haunt community that are driven by passion like this.

@j.danielle 10 месяцев назад

It breaks my heart every haunt season it's gone it was where I grew up and John taught us so many lessons working there 😢

@momojinx9782 Год назад

I've been waiting all day to watch this, and yes I want to cry. I've never been to Statesville, but I have been following all of this since highschool, probably 10 years now. Love and appreciate these amazing people.

@madelynnsmith8073 Год назад

Ive now seen this 3 times. Im still just chilling here sobbing. SV took a weird anxious scared and depressed little girl from a big family 12 years ago and helped make me a confident loud (obnoxious) individual who knows their worth. This place has influenced my life in more ways than I could possibly know. This doc so beautifully captures the spirit and love in those halls. That ending is cruel af though. Like big oof

@PlanetDoomHaunt Год назад

This is great. I love hearing the stories of how it all began. Best DOLD yet.

@elinikliborc5013 Год назад

Second time I’ve seen it and it still hits me hard

@Kaz_theBean Год назад

I work as a scare actor in New England, and I have watched Days of the Living Dad since 2016, when I started. I ALWAYS watch this series during my off days, because it makes me feel more connected to the haunt community. Thank you for the amazing series!

@kimmybearrable Год назад

The best of all time and always will be my favorite haunted house STATESVILLE 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

@andrewerhardt3947 Год назад

Nobody could've ever anticipated the effects that this building on a farm could have ever had. This show, this place, these people have shaped me into who I am today and I am truly thankful for every opportunity I was given.

@justinlong5474 Год назад

Amazing video put together to honor the years of hard work putting on one of the greatest shows I've had the pleasure of visiting multiple times. Really excited for SV moving over and becoming over taken by the Darkness. Can't wait to see the amazing show over @ HG on November 5th. Thanks for all the awesome memories Statesville crew! ❤️

10/10 would love to see year to year walkthroughs of the haunt over the years to show its evolution if possible that would be sick

@MistahWarner Год назад

Wow man this really hit my heart watching this.. I’ll never forget this era till the day that I die. I always heard about statesville back in highschool but I was always so nervous to go. I then stumbled upon this channel and I remember just getting so excited to finally face my fears and go.. and in October 16 2016 I finally faced my fears and found one of my biggest obsessions.. haunted houses. The beginning of something so fucking awesome in my life all began with this place and I couldn’t be happier knowing statesville started it all for me. Thank you daysofthelivingdead and John and company for making Octobers and beyond something that helps me escape reality! Cheers 🍻

@ScreechScratch Год назад

Man that last shot seeing the rogues gallery and seeing the Statesville prison sign come down off the build....damn that hit really fucking hard man....

@DemonDude656 Год назад

It was truly an honor to perform on its last night. It will live on in everyone who put their all into that place and physically in Hellsgate cause nothing goes to waste here 😤

@jacoblinko5129 Год назад

@dabearsfan4life Год назад

I miss this place so much. As an actor here it matured me so much being around such great people. I wish I had known about this place sooner, because only being there four years was not enough. I love the Zombie Army family so much. P.S. I cried while watching this video.

@toridelire8697 Год назад

A video capturing something truly beautiful

@ashleycrago3833 Год назад

I was so fortunate to have worked there for a few seasons & every person I met was such an incredible and unique soul ❤

@unhallowed45 Год назад

Awesome documentary. We need more haunt docs like this. Lovely work. 👏👏👏

@brianrenteria9181 Год назад

I remember going here when I was like 12 my cousin who was in his mid 20s took me and said I was his son so they let me in lmao I almost pissed my pants. It was the last real scary haunted house I have been to great memories! This was 18 years ago.. wow time flies.

@theobannonterror7141 Год назад

What an amazing video and legacy this is! Truly wish I could of made the trip before it had closed. Love watching all the videos! Will definitely make it to HG for sure!

@pabloeesckobare2842 Год назад

Ight ill admit there was a phew tears but to hells gate we go

@bransonhauntedhills Год назад

Oh the FEELS! What an EPIC video. It was so awesome seeing where it all began and to see the family. I never got to go to Statesville but I have watched every single DOTLD video multiple times. I feel like I know these people. I only had my haunt for four years and I was the only one who knew it was our last year and it was and still is sad but I can't imagine being around for as long as Statesville was. I would need therapy! LOL Wishing you ALL the best of luck and I hope to see you guys at Hells Gate. Very Scary Mary

From a business standpoint, have you got any advice on handling the “dating scene” at a haunt, seems to be a huge problem causer a lot of places I’ve worked

@damage1705 Год назад

Will the beast reopen at a new location on day???

@seandanielson4391 Год назад

Even though I work at HellsGate it’s still emotional that Statesville had to shut down and that really was a good haunted house but now I’m so happy that Statesville characters have not ended yet and they are all at HellsGate now but still it’s still emotional that Statesville had to shut down after 25 years.
