Haunted Corn Maze Iowa In A Nutshell

By Tonia Michael


The construction of corn maze involves cutting complicated patterns into the fields of corn. An ordinary maze of this kind is quite challenging therefore it needs a certain level of crazy to try out a haunted corn maze iowa. From above these structures have a spectacular aerial view due to their intricate forms. And on the ground tourists struggle while trying to find a way out and in the process frighten themselves for hours inside this eerie labyrinth.

As Halloween approaches, these labyrinths are embellished with spooky themes by the farmers. Then the public is charged for admission to go in and navigate in the dark as the farmers stand back listening to screams of terror. In addition to being a family friendly social gathering, it is an ingenious way of earning extra income. The grain is harvested and then sold after the scary season is over.

Maize is yellow in color and a cereal grain that is produced on long, green strong stalks. It is borne on structures attached to the stalk known as ears. Maize is also scientifically referred to as Zea Mays and since prehistoric times it has been a cultivation crop. The kernels obtained from maize are served a number of ways for instance they can be packaged as cereal, cooked to form popcorn, flaked or fresh.

The Buddy Holly crash site is another interesting site for Halloween. The reason is because it is an actual crash site where three rock and roll musicians crashed and died. They were known as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Big Bopper where bad weather caused their Beechcraft Bonanza to crash as they headed to a performance in Minnesota from a gig they had at Surf Ballroom.

There are many fun and grisly places in the state of Iowa where people can celebrate Halloween. There is more state income generated from tourism than from annual corn crop and the Museum in Villisca and Axe Murder House are a perfect demonstration. The Villisca site is the place where Josiah Moore, his wife and 6 children were murdered at their home bank in 1912.

Good news to those of sensitive disposition and sci fi nerds, blood and gore is not all Halloween is all about. There is a plaque and a replica Star Trek space craft used to mark the supposed future birthplace of James T. Kirk of Starship Enterprise and Star Treks flagship commander. He may live in the imagination of many but fans converge on the town every March 22 in homage to this fictitious figure.

At the Gateway of Iowa there is a tall metalwork sculpture whose name is Odyssey. This artwork cost $3.5 million to complete and its was the brainchild of a New York artist whose name is Albert Paley. Freddy Krueger Hands is its affectionate nickname that connects it to Halloween. The spiky fondness of this town is further demonstrated through the Golden Spike Monument erected in 1939 attributed to the Transcontinental Railroad.

This quiet little state that is far from the hustles and bustles of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts has a lot to offer than what meets the eye. The playful side of this state is demonstrated by the huge and quirky statues as well as haunted corn maze Iowa.
