John Black-
Not sure if you heard about the RP documentary-Is this something that you would be willing to participate in?I think your knowledge of the park would be crucial.

Hello Robert!
I believe John Black said you painted some of the cars in the house of horrors? Could you share any info with us?

care to share your film with me?
email me mayohj@yahoo.com

Other Abandoned Rocky Point sites for your reference

(Motts-your shots are still the best)

Also John-Did you know that someone is selling video footage of the park 2005 on Ebay?

Auction catalog lists the house having 8 cars all together.
Documented on various other sites-
1.reptile
2.dracula
3.frankenstein
4. planet of the apes?
5. creature from the black lagoon
6. the mummy? Guessing from image on back
the last two are MIA...
7.the wolfman
8.???

I was able to contact Mr. Picotte regarding the House of Horrors-Halloweenland. He told me that he was one of the organizers of the event, and that no one purchased the house of horrors....
if this is the case, where did all the stuff inside go? John, perhaps you could shed some light on this

Jim M Jr-I don't know if you saw any of my posts conversing w/ John Black, but I've got several questions regarding Halloweenland.

In my obsessive exstensive research for the Rocky Point comic book I'm working on-I searched the Providence Library's newspaper records. I do a recall a story about a worker being killed, and if I remember correctly, it was the skyliner. I believe it was in the late fifties-to mid sixties...

John Black deserves the Rocky Point knowledge gold medal-Although that Bill guy knows his stuff too.

By the way-John-what do you think will happen to some of these spare rides supposedly hidden at the park?

Thanks

Sorry Motts....

i'm put some rough sketches on
photobucket.com
search under mayoh67
I'd love to know what you think....

I have a few more:
1. Not looking for a specific date-but decade the house was put in....
2. Does the name Emery Picotte mean anything to you? Rumor was he was the one who purchased the house....
I truly appreciate your help. I know the house itself was more cheesy than scary, and I want to try to keep my drawings the same way.
My style is sort of Mad magazine/R. Crumb with horror elements and I'm planning on using a tales from the crypt style for my story.
I would actually like to get a critique from someone who knows / remembers so much ...
Again, I want this to be a tribute to the park itself, and simply want it as factual as possible...

I've done some searcing on the web-these are the only (other) images from within the house.

Thank you very much!
An earlier haunted house?
That's great to know!
I'm still curious on the inside of the house....
I remember the fat lady, the saw through the lady trick, the jaws door near the end and a few others....anything else come to mind?
So park employees painted all the stuff inside?
I've read that the house was designed by dark ride genuis Bill Tracy? Any truth to this?
I was there for Halloweenland and the cars were still running through the house...but most of the stuff was taken out of the house, so I am still curious about that one.
Which monsters were on the cars?
I'm curious how you know all this-did you work there?
Was there any park merchandise with the house of horrors on it?
(I found a Rocky Point coloring book, thats all I've found.)
Again, thanks again for the info, like I said I've got a million questions.....

Heres the deal:
I am working with several RI artists on a Rocky Point comic/graphic novel. I have chose to do a story on the house of horrors . I want to develop a story based somewhat on fact and perhaps create an urban legend around it.
So basiclly I'm trying to remember specific visual aspects of the house, but I also have tons of questions....
1.When was it first built?
2. How long was the viking outside of the house? (Seen pics from 70's and 80's it's there and then not there-inconsistent?)
3. The house was sold at auction for $1000-to whom?
4.Were the pieces in the house sold seperately?
5.The owner opened Halloweenland the next year-it got shut down-why?
6.The cars were painted over?
I have a million more....
Hope you can help me out...

Mr. Black -youv'e got all the info I'm looking for-I'm working on a house of horrors related project ...is there a way for us to talk more?

wasn't there a darth vader and planet of the apes car as well?
