The Gloomy Wood Cemetery

Gloomy Wood Cemetery
The original concept for the queue area included a swamp with thick bubbling slime; however this didn't happen. Instead a idea originally not wanted by John Wardley came into fruition; the graveyard of the past and still present residents of the house. The graves with their poetic tongue in cheek black humour helped pass the time for the guests.
