Legend has it that the terror town of Nightfall, an attraction at Old Tucson Studios, was terrorized by Dr. Jebediah Hyde years ago when it first opened. However, after years of “incessantly torturing the inmates of the Goulliard Asylum for the Perpetually Insane in the name of scientific research,” his trusty lab assistant Isabel—whom he had abducted and forced to help perfect his techniques—began manifesting her own medical miracle. Only this theory didn’t aid the ol’ doc’s research.
According to Nightfall’s Web site, late last year, “Dr. Hyde discovered a rare strain of DNA that enabled him to somewhat successfully combine the DNA of two or more species in living hosts through bone marrow and spinal fluid transfusions. A synoptically charged extreme electroshock is used to begin the transformation, or in most cases, the mutation process. The good doctor began cross-mutating humans with just about every living creature in the surrounding desert, populating the township of Nightfall with a diverse assortment of hideous beasts and monsters.” Now, Dr. Hyde’s hideous creations hold him captive leaving Isabel to rule the town of Nightfall.
For those daring enough to face fear in the eyes, head over to Old Tucson Studios and meander through the dark, decaying town of terror in search of the highly disturbed and often delusional Dr. Jebediah Hyde, but just remember to enter at your own risk. This year’s attractions include:
• Haunted Houses: The Inferno and Zombie Apocalypse
• Hip-Hop Musical: Necrosis and Party of Six
• Hollywood-style stunt show “Dead Reckoning”
• The Haunted “Fear Train”
• Crazy Joe’s Hypnosis Show
• The Gargoyles
• Hip hop sensation Flo Rida performing his chart-topping hits Thursday, Oct. 29
