Stalker Farms 1st Annual Horror Short Contest
I work for a haunt attraction in Snohomish WA called "Stalker Farms". It is an immersive experience haunt with story lines and characters, so we are looking for stories, back stories, tall tales, feverish recollections, bad dreams haunting memories... Write a horror story that creates a tale of horror around one, two, or all of the characters described herein. We will link from our Facebook to your entries on Prose to get you more readers! These are short stories, we are looking for up to 500 words max. Our staff will pick a winner. If anyone lives in Western Washington then we will comp tickets to anyone that enters a submission and wants to come out. The winner gets $100. Good luck! Write a story about any or all of the following characters: Suzie - The golden child of the Slasher family. She is spoiled rotten to the core. Her demented giggles taunt her play mates. Over 30 years old but she still doesn’t look a day over eight. Chuck - A butcher that takes a lot of pride in his cuts. He is known for his barbecue, just don't mind pulling a few human hairs out of your teeth. Make sure you don't complain or you will find yourself unlucky enough to be served next. Eski - No bloody sacrifice is enough to appease the terrible craving for blood demanded by this horror, born of a thousand tortured soul's tormented screams.

The PR Nightmare of Knott’s Scary Farm Adventure Land and Water Park

This October, indulge in the eerie autumnal splendor of Knott’s Scary Farm Adventure Land and Water Park. All 11 acres of our ranch are as haunted as the Indian burial ground we unknowingly built upon in 1896. You can imagine our embaressment when the bones of Native American leaders resurfaced during the construction of our Super Slide©. But this oversight is a perfect demonstration of how our company can turn a litany of bad business investments into a night of family fun! Each year, on Halloween, you too can witness the spirits of these oppressed people as they terrorize our theme park. And our trademark restaurants are sure to haunt your bowls. In light of Native American tradition, we insist our guests use all parts of the funnel cake.

You’re probably curious about the distasteful press that has been circulating our park of late. If myself, and the rest of the Public Relations team here may speak candidly, we feel that some of these rumors are outlandish to the point of slander! One baby goes missing in our lazy river twenty years ago and the press has a field day. We implore our customers not to overreact; not to throw the baby out with the bathwater if you will.

Yes, we can confirm the deaths of those teenagers last April. But Knott’s Scary Farm considers it no fault of our own that the two chose to copulate in a highly electrical bumper car. Same goes for that groundskeeper who fell into the gaping hole when our caution tape clearly delineates the safest path for pedestrians. If you’re wondering about those first graders who went missing last month-- well, none of them have been confirmed dead. Yes, bits of their hair and fingernails keep turning up in the potpies but our best search parties are on the case! We implore the public to be reasonable: The chances of being taken into the depths of the park by ancient ghosts are truly miniscule.

And while there is some truth to the rumor that that pack of wild dogs maimed an elderly couple last Tuesday, it wasn’t technically on the premises. Yes, we did lose mayor Eric Garcetti last week to a faulty water slide but believe you me, our mechanic received a firm slap on the wrist. And before you go in about our food being linked to early onset Alzheimer's, let me ask you this; what good amusement park doesn’t have a hiccup here and there? You try running an electrical minefield that is also inhabited by angry Native American spirits and not have the occasional 8th grader fall into the gears of a log ride.

So come! Bring your kids! Knott’s Scary Farm Adventure Land and Water Park welcomes you to a night of wholesome horror. For only $80 a head you too can witness what has been regarded as the second most enticing stretch of farmland in Anaheim since the 19th century.

Buy tickets today, if you dare.
