Mokena, IL
year: 2011
Nevermore Manor is one of those displays that come and go without fanfare. 2011 was its first and (so far) last setup. It's too bad, really, as the display was promising.. Amongst other things, it featured a cool doghouse setup, complete with glowing eyes and menacing growls, and a nice moving representation of Audrey II, the plant from Little Shop of Horrors, which we have never seen at any other haunt.
The best part of the display was the silhouette of Jason in the doorway of a cabin at Camp Crystal Lake (see photo at right). The photo does not do the scene justice, though, as the lighting made it seem as though Jason was really moving inside the doorway. A very nice spin on the standard Friday the 13th scene. Hopefully, Nevermore Manor's owners will decide to put it together again in the future as it made a fine addition to the many home haunts and yard displays in Mokena. |
