Weekend at Atlantic Beach
We came to Morehead to pick up about 5,000 breakable items (mostly glass) from a guy who's shutting down his rage room, so we decided to make a beach trip out of it and stayed for the weekend.
His main business is actually this huge haunted house attraction. He was super cool, even complimented my Jesus shirt, LOL. He gave us a full tour of the haunted house. No actors or creepy music since it's off-season, but it was still eerie and super interesting to walk through.
We brought Javier with us, so we got to use it as a chance to teach him that scary movies aren’t real, to show him how all the props and effects work. The guy even took us behind the scenes to where they make everything and do makeup. It seriously felt like being on a horror movie set.
It was a great weekend, but now back to work! Appointments all week and THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT BUCKET HAT drops on Friday!
Atlantic Beach is not only known for its beautiful coastline and serene beach days but also for unique local attractions that offer memorable experiences beyond the sand and surf. This weekend getaway combines a special acquisition of over 5,000 fragile glass items from a closing rage room with an engaging visit to a large haunted house attraction nearby. Rage rooms have gained popularity as stress relief venues where participants can smash breakable items safely. Closing such a space offers a rare opportunity to collect items that can inspire creative reuse or resale. The mix of beach relaxation and this unusual shopping experience creates a diverse weekend adventure. The haunted house visited during the trip operates heavily in the Halloween season but offers fascinating behind-the-scenes tours off-season. Without actors or eerie music, visitors can explore the craftsmanship behind makeup, props, and special effects. Such tours demystify scary movies and haunted attractions by revealing their artistic and technical sides, making them family-friendly educational experiences. Atlantic Beach and Morehead provide the perfect backdrop for these explorations with their charming East Coast summer atmosphere. Whether it’s enjoying the beach aesthetic, engaging in local culture, or taking part in unique events like rage room inventories and haunted house tours, visitors find a rich mix of activities. This combination of beach leisure and creative exploration appeals to those looking for more than just sun and sand. It also highlights how local small businesses and seasonal attractions contribute to the community’s appeal, adding depth and character to any visit. With upcoming releases like the "Perfectly Imperfect Bucket Hat," this area continues to attract both locals and tourists looking for authentic, memorable experiences.
