Hello. My name is Allyn Glover, creator of Horror Hill. I am a graduate of Newnan High School. We have lived in Newnan now for about 23 years. First I would like to thank each and every one of our many customers that have come out year after year. We have worked so very hard for the last 23 years to make Horror Hill and Vertigo the best haunted attractions around. We love doing this so much. I would also like to thank my family for putting up with Horror Hill in their back yard for all these years.
We started Horror Hill in 1984 when I was 13 when we moved to Newnan from the Atlanta area. We didn't have a whole lot to do back then. Our movie theatres closed, our teen clubs flopped and we waited all year just to go to the fair in September. A friend, Mike Smith, and me were sitting in the woods behind my house one day and we were talking about Halloween and how much we both loved it. I then told him about how we used to have Halloween parties at our old house in College Park in our basement. We used to hang sheets from the ceiling to make mazes. We had the pasta in the bowl trick and the whole bit. We called the pasta "brains". We would crawl around under the sheets to get to the next "room" to scare everyone again and again. We invited the whole neighborhood over every year.
Mike and I sat there for a while talking about old times when I had a crazy thought. "Hey, let's cut a trail through the woods and invite friends over. When they walk through the trail we can jump out and scare them!" I thought that since we were on a huge hill that we could call it HORROR HILL. The rest is pretty much history!
Back them My Mom and Dad (Judy and Gene) would stay out in the woods in the cold and rain and scare people. If I needed someone to help do concessions they would do it. They never once complained. They have been so great to me over the years. I will never be able to thank them enough.
If I can remember correctly we had about 50 people come through that first year. We advertised at school and that was pretty much it. Then, every year we decided to have Horror Hill again. We would add a few feet to the Trail every year and more sets. HORROR HILL would grow and grow from then on. With each passing year we got better at preparing scenes and sets. We learned how to build elaborate scenes with trap doors and other neat tricks. In the past several years I have been lucky to have a lot of wonderful help with the trails. Keith Morris, Chris Cook, Brooks and Sister McElroy (Maxwell), Erin Courtright, Billy Bray, and many others have direct roots to the beginning and success of Horror Hill over the years. If I missed anyone, please email! :)
Now, 23 years later, thousands of people come from hundreds of miles away just to walk through our shows. Flattering? Yes. Hard work? Yes. Has it been worth it? EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I love doing it as much today as I did 23 years ago. Thanks so much for visiting us.
We hope that you have a great time at HORROR HILL and our newest attraction "Nightmare on the North Side!", 13 Stories Haunted House in Kennesaw, GA" ... Please feel free to visit our message board if you would like to communicate with anyone of us.
