For those of you who will be in Southern California in October, there's definitely a different way to visit the original Queen Mary in Long Beach during the Halloween season.
The 13th Annual Queen Mary Shipwreck Terror Fest is back with a vengeance to scare you shipless as they say. The ship will feature seven mazes populated by more than 400 monsters, mutants and maniacs. Some are in the ship's creepy corridors (in areas not usually open to the public and rumored to be haunted because of unexplained paranormal sightings) and others are deep in the bowels of the ship.
The shipwreck is open for 13 selected nights in October. Admission is $35, and that includes not only admission to the mazes, but also a dance party in the Coffin Club and a huge tri-level dance party in the Boiler Room Club. There are also live bands performing outside in the adjacent park shoreside. Complete details are available on the Queen Mary Shipwreck website.
