Open year-round. Billed as one of the oldest haunted house in North America, one of the ways it’s been able to attract throngs of visitors and international headlines — it’s been featured on “Live! With Regis and Kelly,” “Good Morning America” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” — is by being cryptic about the attraction and posting photos of horrified visitors as they pass through. Live actors are hired to scream, taunt and torture visitors. The factory is described as an old coffin factory, and more than 100,000 people have had to leave through their “chicken” line.

“My mother had no use for facts,” Kalman recalled during a talk at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference in 2007. “Facts were banished from our home. I was fortunate to be born a dreamy child. My older sister was busy torturing my parents. “… I was lucky enough to be completely ignored.” She later dreamed her way into NYU. Following a stint writing bad poetry and in an effort to escape “the horror of word,” she turned to drawing. How hard could it be?.

Top Three Highlights. Maybe I’m getting harder to amaze and astound each week because I just wasn’t blown away by most of the dances, at least to the same extent as the judges. My absolutely favorite dance was the team dance by Team Yolo — Noah and Sharna, Robert and Kym, Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough, and Willow Shields and Mark Ballas. It was fast and furious, and very entertaining to “Wipeout” by The Surfaris. Could anything be more Spring Break-y? Head judge Len Goodman said the number was “tight, together and terrific.” The dance, about four band dudes and the bathing beauties who loved them, featured each couple in a solo and then had a group towel-tossing routine. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said simply, “You guys nailed it!” The score of three 10s and a 9 (from Len) added 39 points to each couple’s score.I didn’t hold out much hope for the second team, Team Trouble, to match the scores with a “‘Breakfast Club’ meets ‘Grease'” routine, but it was really good, too. Their song was “Trouble” by Iggy Azalea, and each pair did a fantastic solo, especially Riker and Allison. Even Patti was able to pull out all the stops, bad knee and all. In the end, the judges’ score matched the other team’s score: 39.My favorite individual dance was the samba by Riker and Allison. He is definitely turning out to be the guy to beat. He has such sharp musicality and natural rhythm and seems to have so much fun with each dance that it’s hard to deny him. And this week, he and Allison were the only pair to score 10s — two for their samba and three in the team dance. The couple are on top of the leaderboard this week with a combined individual and team score of 76.
