WONKA'S FEAR FACTORY!

Some weeks back, the Quasi-Interesting Paraphernalia blog posted this ad for Wonka's Fear Factory, a haunted house attraction with a Willy Wonka theme. Apparently it took place in Michigan in 2001, but that's about all I know. There doesn't seem to be any other info online about this fascinating attraction. Were there demonic Oompa Loompas? Were guests turned into giant blueberries and then rolled away to be juiced? Did some guy in a top hat and zombie makeup do Gene Wilder's totally horrifying rap about how there's no way of knowing which direction we are going?

I would hardly believe this thing was real, but here's the ad, right here. Click to enlargenate.

























Sadly it seems we'll never get to visit Wonka's Fear Factory... But at least we have Marilyn Manson's twisted, Wonka-themed Dope Hat video to console us.
