The giant skull on the front of a building on I-Drive always made me think of Skeletor’s Castle from my old He-Man toys. Now all the space will do is house an outlet T-shirt shop and 3 Starbuck’s Coffee bars.
From the YouTube page:
Skull Kingdom,one of Orlando Florida’s Landmark Attractions on International Drive. It was a Year-Round Walk-through Haunted House for about 10 years, A Giant Castle with a Skull on the front. They started demolition on Friday,27th July 2007 and will be finished by the end of Saturday the 28th. They started with the iconic Skull Facade, which seemed solid for the years came down like 2 kids attacking a pinyata with chainsaws.
This video is the first in a series, including several from the auction of the interior props and accessories from Skull Kingdom. Robert, who recorded this video, also goes by Bunny, and he performs with the Rich Weirdoes, our own local Rocky Horror cast, at Universal CityWalk’s megaplex theatre.
I also know Bunny does an evening over at Stardust where he dresses up like Groucho Marx and reads poetry. I’ve at least seen it happen once. If I find out any more info about this, come back to this post for dates or links.
This might be Orlando Video’s first revlogging via camera phone, but let’s hope it’s not the last. If you have a camera phone or an interesting video from your friend’s phone, email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com > and I’ll see if we can’t get it posted here. I’d also love someone to take up some of the burden of blogging around here. If you want the job, we can share.
