Halloween Update: The Hanging still happens at Knott's, Why?

-Universal may have a lawsuit underway with some teenage girls insulted at Halloween Horror Nights. This case already has Gloria Allred on it, but no suit has yet been announced. The girls were insulted in the Purge Anarchy section with verbal insults.

-The Hanging still happens at Knott's, why? The Halloween show that tries and fails to make fun of pop culture has been a staple of Knott's over the year's. This year the show takes a swipe at the now defunct Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure which had the same practice. Vice said the show gay bashed, we just overall thought it was unfunny. The Hanging is practically the same show. Why it's still around is a horrifying mystery, in that it's so bad it horrifies us while watching it.
