PLANT CITY, Fla. — Sir Henry’s Haunted Christmas offers the kiddy fun for families who are into a little bit of gore, in addition to goodwill to all.

Of course, the adventure began as a Halloween haunt a decade ago and continues with hilarious horror offerings from Christmas to Valentine’s Day.

Calvin Hogan helped transform the death and chaos to yuletide death and chaos.

“We ended on a Sunday. That Monday, we all collectively got a nice day off,” said Hogan. “And then Tuesday, we were right back out here tearing Halloween down, putting Christmas back up.”

A collection of doomed characters is meant to level up the storyline and experience.

An explorer named Cornelius (homage to the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cartoon) sets out into the barren tundra of a frozen world seeking to disprove the existence of Christmas legends like Krampus.

“Santa — you know his story. Krampus is the one that gets the naughty, naughty children,” Cornelius explained, his teeth chattering. Cornelius, portrayed by Alex Ribble, is partially frozen and his face shows signs of frostbite.

If you think the little ice crystals on his frostbitten nose are cool, you should see the make-up work of another character: Psych the Christmas Elf. Who is Psych the Christmas Elf?

Besides being human Keegan Smith, he’s a mad, deranged elf who has taken over Christmas along with fellow elf, Judy.

The close-knit group at Sir Henry’s is filled with self-taught scare engineers and make-up artists who used the phrase “YouTube University” to explain their animatronic building skills.

Psych and Judy are running Santa’s workshop and they keep Mrs. Claus in a cage.

But there is snow, cider and hot chocolate.
