Great Horror Campout (Los Angeles, CA)

Tickets are currently on sale for the Great Horror Campout. Two 12-hour camping experiences will takes place in Los Angeles State Historic Park on Friday, June 7th and Saturday, June 8th, 2013. Tickets are $149 each and include overnight accommodations, dinner, continental breakfast, parking, the "Hell Hunt Experience," horror Movies around a bonfire, roasting mashmallows, and a reusable canvas bag.

The Official Website description of the Hell Hunt Experience:

First Rule: We can change the rules. When we want, for any reason we want and without any notice. You’ll need to be listening for the camp announcements for the rule changes if you have any hope of escaping elimination. The interactive “Hell Hunt” experience will give campers whom wish for a more extreme experience a run for their money as they come face to face (and closer) with their worst nightmares in order to retrieve the items for which they are hunting. The Hell Hunt will be an extremely high-octane hunt for items that will send campers bathing in the blood of a “Pope Lick,” partaking in a sacrificial voodoo ritual, digging through road kill amongst “Beasts of Bray” and more. Campers will have to use creative thinking and problem solving to find the most coveted items. Those “Hell Hunters” who complete the task will go home with a Golden Ticket to LA’s Most Popular Halloween Attraction, Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. The bearer of a Golden Ticket allows unlimited rides at LA Haunted Hayride 2013.
