These 6 Souls Dared to Endure Six Flags Great America's 30-Hour Coffin Challenge
By Daniela Prizont-Cado ••
These participants were only allowed one bathroom break per hour, just 13 minutes of phone time, receive 15-minute meal breaks—all done inside the coffin as participants would be eliminated.
Six brave souls endured Six Flags Great America’s 30-hour Coffin Challenge this past weekend.
The event, which ran from 1 p.m. Saturday through 7 p.m. Sunday, hosted participants including a 70-year-old grandma (who is a member of a Hardcore Hearse Club), a local funeral director and embalmer, a paranormal investigator, a participant who lives and works at a cemetery, a student aspiring to be a funeral director, and a participant who claims to be part zombie, part vampire.
These participants were only allowed one bathroom break per hour, just 13 minutes of phone time, receive 15-minute meal breaks—all done inside the coffin as participants would be eliminated otherwise.
Talk about nightmares! A Chicago hotel is offering up an overnight stay inspired by Chicago's most notorious serial killers.
ACME Hotel Company launches its haunting H.H. Holmes pop-up experience, featuring spooky artifacts "sure to provide guests with a chilling overnight stay."
Inside the suite are old newspaper clippings, "bones from Holmes' victims," surgical tools and even an image of Holmes in the window and mirror.
The pop-up runs Oct. 27 through Halloween.
All individuals who partook in this challenge however, were given the opportunity to bring their own pillows, blankets, and/ or sleeping bags for the sake of comfort.
Prizes included $300, two ‘2019 GOLD Season Passes,’ two ‘Express Haunted House’ wristbands, a chance to be in the 'Uprising Parade' and the chance to keep their own coffin.
