The Happy Vixen's 2019 Halloween "Carn-Evil"


By Bixyl Shuftan

It's time for Halloween, the season for spooky fun. Many clubs will have Halloween parties and a few decorations. But the Happy Vixen has been doing much more. For the past few years, the beach club of the Sunweaver/Angel community has hosted Halloween-themed builds courtesy of Jasmine Dawn. One year, she made a haunted forrest. Then she did a maze full of spooky frights with a prize at the end. Last year was a haunted manor in which not only could people party in the main room, but there was a quest to solve. This year, Jasmine offers more scary fun in the form of a haunted carnival, with games, rides, spooky prizes, scary clowns, and a big-top where the parties will be held until after Halloween.

Officially, it's named the THV Dark Vixen's Carn-Evil, the "Carn-Evil" part inspired by the arcade game from the late 1990s. The haunted carnival offers much to see. To get there, head to the Happy Vixen as usual. The place will be dark, with a tent in the middle of the dance floor. Click on the door, then click on the portal (don't worry about the creepy clown). You will then end up in a skybox high above the Purfection sim, with the haunted carnival before you.

There are a number of games one can play, such as the zombie shooting gallery. Just click and wear the "zombie splatter" gun (do NOT use the gun on the living, or the creepy clown will get you with our blessing). There's a Gory Slide, in which you climb up, and ride a mat down a slide wet with dripping blood. One easy game is the "Hook a Head," which Jasmine joked was full of griefers and people whom did not walk away from the carnival's dangers (if you "add" one of the things,  you better have a taste for scrapple). There is the "Carousel of Pain," which can be called a merry-go-round from Hell as riding it means getting impaled somewhere or hung.

Then there's the "Freak Show," in which there are attractions such as the "Half Human Half Spider" and the two-headed elephant. To see the "Hideous Human Maggot," you'll need to sit on something just in front of the exhibit. Just outside are some cages outside, with a monster in a crate, another creepy clown, and a bloody ape with what's left of something or someone in it's hand. All the while you are looking around, there are various sound effects, moans, cackles, evil laughter, screams, and cries of help, "Help me! Helllllp meeeeeee...."

At the back of the haunted carnival is the big top, a huge tent made for a number of people to gather in. This is where the carnival events will be held in. The DJ booth is in front of a large creepy clown face. There's also a slide show of Hallowenish pictures, including a cartoon of a female mad scientist whose creation seems destined to have a happier future than Frankenstein's monster. The gray contest board is a little hard to see in the dim light in it's part of the tent. But that's about the only small problem in this place full of thrills and chills.

On Thursday October 17, the haunted carnival was finally finished. And at 4PM SL time, it had it's first event, with Happy Vixen owner Nydia Tungsten spinning the tunes.

Welcome to "Carn-Evil"

We are proud to present this years Monstrous fun filled Halloween build for "The Happy Vixen"
I honored to be DJ'ing our first event here starting at 4pm SLT
some come and have a HOWLING good time!
so hop in the hearse and enjoy the ride!


As events had temporarily been moved to Sunweaver Oasis, the crowd was a bit small at first compared to most other times Nydia DJs. But over time more showed up. There was 2000 Lindens up for grabs in the contest, and it was split among the top three, with ShadowRenee Ivanova winning 1000L, Valkyrie McGill getting 600L, and Sylys Weezles wwling away with 400L. There were two other events that night, with DJ Geerkil and DJ Snowbuns.

The Carn-Evil will remain up for the rest of October, with Jasmine herself DJing on the first show on Halloween at 4PM. It may or may not remain up for another day or two. So be sure to come by for some chills and thrills.
