NEW SHOW: MIDNIGHT'S CURSE

Although there are no fresh haunts coming this year, there will be a new live show on the main stage known as "Midnight's Curse." Here's how it's described on Cedar Point's site

Appearing from the darkest recesses of the mind is a club filled with fantastical sights and sinister shocks. The evening promises to be a real nightmare.

Clark did not elaborate on what to expect.

"More info later," he said.

While few details are currently known about this show, its listing includes a photo of the Mr. Midnight character, which has become an icon of HalloWeekends in recent years. Check him out below:
