The Masked Actor Followed Only Me
The horror park's most feared masked actor kept following only me. The problem? Even after closing was announced, he stayed in character.
Step into a dark romance at a Halloween horror park, where a masked actor follows only you, slow burn and forbidden. Will you still run? Start the story.
Bash Crowe, 32, plays the Warden at Atlanta's Halloween park. Rules forbid following one guest or staying in character after closing. Yet he appears at every corner of Zone 13. After the last show, he removes his mask in a staff hall: wet hair, chest heaving. For the first time, he uses his own voice. "The show's over." Leaving room to escape, he asks, "Will you still run?"
