Lunatics Library 36: Amusement Park Horror Stories

Text Abby and Alan

Abby and Alan present amusement park themed horror stories. Ever wondered what dark secrets lurk beneath the thrills of amusement parks? We have unearthed a trio of harrowing tales that will chill you to the bone and make you question the shadows behind the carousel lights.
Our journey kicks off with a look into the world of amusement park horror, a genre ripe with untapped potential. We recount the nerve-wracking experiences of a security guard in an abandoned park, where his reality is as twisted as the rusted rides he patrols. Our first story was written by John K Peck, follow John online twitter.com/johnkpeck and johnkpeck.com. Necropolis was narrated by Jon C Cook of the Fadò podcast.
But the terror doesn't stop at the creaking gates of deserted attractions. Join us as we dive into Sara Luke's riveting story, "Splashdown," which masterfully intertwines the themes of loss, family, and survival against the backdrop of a decaying water park. Follow Sara on Instagram @saraluke25.
Finally we share a story by Cooper Shreves, about the less-than-ideal escapades at Adventure Landing, providing a chilling testament to the mishaps and memories made in these playgrounds of joy turned graveyards of innocence. So, tune in, hold on tight, and prepare for an expedition into the eerie enigma of carnivals and water parks that will forever alter your view of where you find your fun.
