A little about The Horror Academy
and Witches Hollow
 
Witches Hollow is located 5 miles between
Conover & Claremont NC.
Its small town population is less than
1000 people. Here at Witches Hollow, we have a rich
history spanning from 1773 to present.

In the beginning Witches Hollow
was nothing more than a
trading crossroads. The town got it's name on
August 13, 1772
when three people were put to death by hanging,
on a charge of witchcraft. One man and two women
were hanged that day.
1. Lowe Price Thrillkill, for teaching macabre
studies. He was survived by his wife, one
son and three daughters. His wife moved
North to save the children.
2. Beatrice Perkins Paige, for telling fortunes
by reading tea leaves. She was survived by
her husband and two sons. Her husband
was a patriot in the continental army. Her
two sons were away at a private French
school in FL.
3. Jacqueline Ann Donna, for being seen
meeting in the wood. She was survived
by her twin brother. Her brother moved to New York one year before the trials
began.
All three were hanged on the other side of the "new" covered bridge because it was believed
that "no evil spirit can cross moving water".
This bridge still stands today.  
Then in 1992, a man called Lo Budjet Thrillkill
came back to this little town to open a school.
The first of its kind. The Horror Academy home
of the Maniacs was established. Witches
Hollow's forgotten and begotten children had
returned, to spread the good word of Movies
and Horror flicks in general.
