      Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle A perfect reminder of the joys of slipping on a mask and screaming "Boo!" Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Drew Tinnin Dread Central Personally, I had never heard of Spooky World before. Ringleader and founder David Bertolino is profiled in Quinn Monahan’s Halloween-centric documentary Spooktacular! chronicling the rise and fall of America’s first haunted theme park. Feb 17, 2024 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A well researched documentary, Spooktacular has plenty of detail, an interesting story to tell, and will provide a perfect injection of nostalgia for those that grew up with the park. Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast A nostalgia piece that works as a fascinating origin story into the rise of horror-themed conventions but also as a fun bit of history you'd like to see recreated in your own community provided you aren't a prude or part of a fuddy-duddy governing body. Rated: 3/4 Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Devotees of haunted attractions and all things horror will get a kick out of this fanboy documentary about America's first Halloween theme park, Spooky World. Above all, it's a love story about the art of scaring people. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Dan Tabor Cinapse For fans of haunted attractions this is easily a MUST watch or for those who have memories of Spooky World, of which I am very jealous.
