Board the Ghost Ship This Halloween!

It's never too early to start making Halloween plans, right?
If you are going to be in the Southern California area in October, check out Ghost Ship, the country's first sailing Halloween attraction. Board a ship in Orange County and set sail on a 75-minute cruise of terror.
This one is definitely not for the faint of heart, as there is no escaping once you board.
From The Website:
The Vicious History:
In the early 1930s the state of California became responsible for the residents of Psych Ward 7. These were the most dangerous inmates in the country. These individuals were deemed so dangerous, in fact, that no walls on land were considered adequate to contain them to keep society safe.
It was decided that they were to be housed on a ship anchored 100 miles off shore that was to become the country's first floating asylum. The Coast Guard was given jurisdiction of the floating ward monitoring it regularly and keeping in contact with the staff on board.
One fall night in 1939 the ship disappeared off of The Coast Guard's radar... until now.
Three Levels of Pure Horror:
The gut of the ship will bring the pour souls through the abandoned hallways of what was the treatment deck for those who needed Electro Shock Therapy, Hydrotherapy, and Sleep Disorder Rehabilitation; as well as the old examining rooms and even morgue.
The middle floor would attempt to bring a moment of calm to the patrons where they can grab a cocktail and take in the old ballroom vibe of the 1930s.
However appearances can be incredibly deceiving. Don't let your guard down while sipping your cocktail for it can wind up on your lap.
The top deck will bring gluttons for punishment through an interactive execution experience that just might make them wonder "who" is being executed.
This will be an experience that you will not want to miss if you have a high tolerance for fear.
And we must warn you that when you have stepped foot onto Ghost Ship you are fair game and there are no parts that are off limits!!!
Cruises start October 14th and run every Friday and Saturday through October 29th.
Tickets are on sale now; get yours at http://www.ghostship.com/flash/index.html
