The Baltimore Museum of Industry has been running a Haunted Museum for 3
years now witha theme of gory industrial accidents. While we tried to keep
it rather low key, we felt it was innappropriate for any children under 10
years old and warn parents of children from 10-13.
An interesting side note - the event is co-sponsored by the Maryland
Occupational Safety. They set up an exhibit of real industrial safety issues
in our staging area and used some rather graphic photograpics in their
displays. I heard months later that their images of reality caused more
nightmares than our little tableaus. We will of course invite them back
because they have THE BEST collection of realistic looking maimed body parts
I have ever seen.
