SPOOKTACULAR Movie Clip - Remembers Spooky World's Infamous Mouse Girl
SPOOKTACULAR! delves deep into the intriguing and sometimes scandalous story of America’s first Halloween Theme Park and the genius mind behind it. The documentary not only explores Spooky World founder David Bertolino’s remarkable journey but also gives a heartfelt insight into the lives of numerous individuals who were part of this iconic park.
With a rich palette of interviews featuring luminaries from the vast spectrum of horror history (Tom Savini, Linda Blair, Kane Hodder, Robert Englund and more), the film uncovers the thrilling voyage of a man who dared to tap into the zeitgeist of a generation, inspiring and frightening them while laying the foundation for the mammoth Halloween creations that followed.
To celebrate the critical and audience success to date, Spookywood Productions has released a new clip, centered on Spooky World's infamous Mouse Girl. Aspiring actress Ruth Phelps transformed herself into a young girl who had fallen victim to the mischievous clowns of the Cirque Macabre, who tormented her and held her captive in a plexiglass cage teeming with real mice. As eager visitors approached, curiosity piqued, leaning in to scrutinize her authenticity, Ruth seized the opportunity. Just as they whispered in disbelief, "She's not real," she'd spring into action, eyes popped open and mischievously menacing. Startled patrons often met her antics with cries and, occasionally, a loss of bladder control – the ultimate compliment for any Spooky World performer. During Ruth's tenure, this became an everyday occurrence, cementing her status as the park's number one attraction.
