Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues, sites and events in the Page Valley
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, Oct. 22 — This week we pay a return visit to DarkWood Manor – the site of Episode 1 two years ago. This Halloween the local theatrical, interactive haunted house is celebrating its 25th anniversary. We’ll talk with Wendy Brown about the costumes and movie-quality make-up creations she conjures up, as well the early days of Louis Brown‘s imagination that lead to a local attraction that draws thousands to Luray every fall. We’ll also hear about this year’s theme — Mother Grimwood’s Appalachian Horror Stories, “Tales From Under a Dead Moon” — as well as Doctor Brain’s 3D Mind Maze and see some of the detailed sets.
(Page Valley Livin’~Episode 92 was recorded Sunday, Oct. 26, and aired Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we will be visiting a few ghouls and goblins in Downtown Luray before sitting down with a Vietnam veteran to honor his service.
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
