Halloween will be here in a little over two months. A thread on Facebook jogged a memory of a newspaper clipping loose that I wanted to post in either this blog or my Euclid Boo blog around Halloween.
It's a short piece advertising thrills at the Euclid Square Mall HOUSE OF HORRORS! Open Every night during the last week of October, 1978. A balloon-headed phantom leers at the camera frozen in time. Fun for the whole family, but the little ones should probably bring a parent along.
A couple dollars got you a few fun, cheap screams. I am certain to this day there is a memory of something that seemed truly terrible to a young kid still floating around in the darkness of a grown man's mind.
Today, August 18th, 2015, there was a funeral service and a gathering afterwards held at Euclid Square Mall. A fight erupted between family members, and there was gun fire, and then people ran to their cars and drove off.
No one was hurt that has been reported yet, but there was blood found.
In 1978 it was recommended that children be brought through the haunted house, with its crepe paper spider webs, with an adult. Today, the same closed-air retail behemoth cycles between absorbing rain and dripping dry, and there are no doubt children who attend those churches. I've seen many children running through the mall before and after church services.
'Hall of Horrors' at Euclid Square Mall has a slightly different ring today.
