The park had about 40,000 visitors a year until it closed in 1984 for renovations. Holy Land USA never opened back up again due to the death of owner John Greco in 1986. It has been abandoned ever since. The abandoned acres of the theme park have been watched over by groups of nuns for decades, but the place keeps getting more and more creepy as the park continues to deteriorate. </p> <p>On top of the vandalism and eeriness the park gives off, a teenager was murdered on these abandoned grounds in 2010. Since then police records have shown that the amount of trespassers have been decreasing which just means abandoned Holy Land USA is as creepy and deserted as ever.</p> </blockquote>http://capblackard.tumblr.com/post/51077882147http://capblackard.tumblr.com/post/51077882147Wed, 22 May 2013 12:51:42 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7ffae60d627a26b7831f6b4dd3b5358a/tumblr_mn6e9kZPGM1qhbhnno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rebeccasugar.tumblr.com/post/51047994813/ianjq-hey-babies-the-short-i-did-for-cartoon">rebeccasugar</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ianjq.tumblr.com/post/51033929736/hey-babies-the-short-i-did-for-cartoon-network">ianjq</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/cartoon-network-shorts/video/lakewood-plaza-turbo-clip.html">HEY BABIES!</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/cartoon-network-shorts/video/lakewood-plaza-turbo-clip.html">The short I did for Cartoon Network just dropped!!!!!!</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/cartoon-network-shorts/video/lakewood-plaza-turbo-clip.html">Go watch it now, I’ll be posting a full cast list and design sketches in the coming days and weeks and years!!!</a></p> </blockquote> <p>YES WATCH LAKEWOOD PLAZA TURBO!!!</p> </blockquote> <p>AAAAH!  This is awesome!  I wanna go to Fitness Emotions!</p>http://capblackard.tumblr.com/post/51052627964http://capblackard.tumblr.com/post/51052627964Wed, 22 May 2013 01:44:20 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/636a0da13080a16e9c9fa5c3e6a0b984/tumblr_mn3qvmkGZd1qa4cmfo2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Feature artwork for Consequence of Sound’s review of Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories”.
