This is a FUN read! It is NOT a list of Dark Rides or dry boring statistics, it was written for EVERYBODY. It IS the 'soul' of what these rides are all about from their portable beginnings in Carnivals to today's big Theme Parks. It's NOT a How-To but more a Why-To, a chemistry if you will of what we do when we choose to get scared for fun. Not just for ride geeks either, because as it turns out...
Even most die hard Theme Park fans don't know the whole story... because it had never been told till this little book turned the lights on!

With side trips to Disneyland, Coney Island Sideshows, the Live Spook Shows that were all the rage in theaters of the 40's & 50's and even old Drive-In Horror Movies. It's a very personal Tour with an insider perspective, from a keen observer of what Entertainment In The Dark is really all about.

Bennet Yellin (Screen Writer "Dumb And Dumber"): "...a perfectly delightful tome by some madman all about dark rides, you oughta read it. It's hysterical & entertaining. Higley's witty personality virtually bursts out of the pages, I felt like I was hanging out with an old dear friend (well not that old). A treat!"

Rick West, Theme Park Adventure Magazine says: "Scary Dark Rides is an essential piece of any enthusiasts personal library and a MUST HAVE for Theme Park fans of all ages
around the world."

Scary Dark Rides would make a real nice gift for anyone who enjoys a highly entertaining read! Especially if they (or you) are getting on a plane to a big Theme Park complex on either coast or Inbetween...it is the PERFECT read for an Air trip!

Sorry Overseas buyers due to higher postage and RIDICULOUS PayPal conversion fees Shipping is $8. I don't want you to have to pay the higher price but I can't help it.

Author, Professional Voice Actor and FX Prop Maker as well as World Known Freelance Artist/Sculptor, Doug Higley lives just 62.7 miles south of Disneyland, where he is often mistaken for Gepetto. While not a Historian or compiler of lists & facts, he does have the knack for writing about what really matters...the Chemistry of what makes fun in the dark FUN!
