Where Creatures go BUMP in the Dark
Sergio Gallero the creative motor behind Aruba’s upcoming Haunted House reports the place will be operational for two full years. Imagine, a nonstop horror-fest for just Afls 10,- (US$ 6) admission, any time during the year. Opening night? Sergio is working 24-a day to meet his deadline, which is naturally Halloween! On Halloween day, the bloody ribbon will be cut hailing the opening of the island’s second Grand Guignol palace of horrors, blood and gore. Why second? In the 80s, the American families which used to live within Lago oil refinery’s colony cleverly transform a derelict cottage into a Haunted House, each year. Thus some of the island kids are familiar with the concept. The others are in for a surprise. Don’t worry, says Sergio. All along the horror maze, emergency exits were cut into the walls allowing the faint of heart an escape route as their hearts leap into their throats, refusing to come down again.
Venezuelan entrepreneur Sergio Gallero is at the helm of the project. You met Sergio before, as Guy Bavli’s impresario. The famed Israeli mind reader is planning to renew his local engagement here within a short time, meanwhile he is on vacation and Sergio on the other hand is obsessed with his Halloween project, metastasizing on Palm Beach, across the gas station.
The deserted warehouse is getting a set of faux exteriors made of papier mache, fabric and glue. Inside, twenty five characters will be scaring the living day lights out of visitors among them foulmouthed Chuckie the nightmare doll – Sergio recruited a short person, for the role, mass murderer Freddy Krueger wearing his favorite weapon a leather glove reinforced with steel plating sporting four 6 inch knife blades, Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees, fondly remembered for decapitating, axing, knifing and throat slitting kids on Camp Crystal Lake. Classic, robotic Frankenstein, blood sucking count Dracula, the mythological
bride which murders all prospective husbands, hold on to your heart, that’s not all, you will be visiting a graveyard, a morgue, in short walking along a dark 500-meter gauntlet filled with shrieking skeletons, blood geysers, shut coffins which fly open, and a army of sophisticated, creepy ghouls and ghosts. Sergio’s is a Halloween cultist. According to him, it’s the best holiday,
deserving a grand spectacle, of thirteen different scenes.
Besides the horror show, scary pizza will be offered and scary souvenirs. You can’t believe how many people drive by and ask when the place will be opening says Sergio. According to him, the locals are not a bunch of scaredy-cats!
The Théâtre du Grand Guignol may be the largest dirty little secret in the world...
Each night for sixty-five years, the Grand Guignol titillated and terrified audiences drawn from every sector of society. The pimps and petty-thieves of the Sacré-Coeur basilica shared benches with the crowned heads of Europe. During the theatre's heyday, regular Guignoleurs, as the theatre's patrons were known, included the King of Greece, Princess Wilhemina of Holland, King Carol of Rumania, the children of the Sultan of Morocco, and a Vietnamese political refugee, Ho Chi Minh, then a noodle and pastry cook at a local Chinese restaurant.
