Halloween may have passed but Rob Zombie's "Great American Nightmare" mazes truly scare those who dare enter.
The chilling mazes were but just the beginning, Rob Zombie performed a few of his fabulous hits in front of a massive audience who kept the cheers going song after song.
Every song was a grand performance with the stage going pitch black after almost every song, almost as a fade to black, before entering into into a new song.
Zombie's "Thunder Kiss '65" slowly came through the speakers as the crowd erupted with cheer.
The song, from Zombie's earlier hits, was performed amazingly well as guitarist John 5 took center stage half way through the song to showcase the incredibly talent he possesses.

John 5 ripped through frets and ooh an extended guitar solo which was magnificent to listen to.
As the song ended Zombie meshed in a short cover of Alice Cooper's hit "School's out for Summer," which got another loud cheer from the crowd.
Out side the building which housed the magnificent musical performances vendors and monsters took over Bloody Drive.
Every thing on Bloody Drive was horror inspired as well as some charities which occupied a few booths.
KROQ was in attendance keeping the music going in the streets.
"The Lords of Salem" brought some enthusiasm from the crowd as it combined early hits with more recent ones.
To wrap up the incredible set, which spanned the illustrious career of Zombie, the iconic song "Dragula" was performed.
The song, which with a grand stage performance and magnificent vocals, was satisfying and a fitting finale to the night's Zombie performance.

"The Lords of Salem" maze is unlike any other maze experience. The fear that they play with is that which resides in the mind. The exterior has a Heidi Hawthorn look-a-like dancing and scaring the visitors.
The interior houses pitch black corridors that leave the beasts that live inside the mind free to scare.
To ease the mind "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto 3D" maze is set for a fun time.
"El Superbeasto" is set as a highly sexual maze with scantly clad women at almost every turn.

The colors are extremely bright were cheerful and a bit disorienting, which may be part of the effect intended.
The hormones seem to ooze out of the walls as there seems to be so many sexual elements through out the maze. They are all in good fun and are not offensive at all.
"The Haunt of 1000 Corpses" maze began with a character pouring blood on the forehead of those who did not wish to be touched by the actors inside.
Every room in the maze has some aspect that creates an uneasy feeling, from human parts in glass jars to gruesome murder scenes.
The actors seem to take their roles seriously as they roam around interacting with the visitors as much as they can.
No one is safe from the characters as they are quick witted and have just the right thing to say to get visitors feeling uneasy.
