important locations

inside of town

A&S PIZZA IT'S AN AMPERSAND!


BLOCKBUSTER Surprisingly not haunted, but also rarely occupied. Nobody's really clear if it's legal that they're still open, but they're unfortunately not associated with That Twitter Account.


BRING YOUR OLD BOOKS An old, used bookstore. Quaint or creepy? You can decide, but we know one thing for sure -- it's musty as hell in this bad boy.


THE CHAI The Chrone's Hollow Art Institute, full of works of art that will watch you wherever you go.


CRONE'S HOLLOW DOLL MUSEUM Home to a famously mouthy Chatty Cathy, the Doll Museum is owned by Andrew Duffy. While many visitors might try and figure out how he's doing it, there's no trade secret - she's just a bitch.


CRONE'S HOLLOW MALL A dead mall, referred to as 'the mall of the dead' by the locals, construction began in 2007 and was abandoned in late 2008. Most of the windows have been shattered by hail and vandals, and it's frequently used as a hangout and hiding spot for local teens to drink and smoke. Some say something unnatural lurks there.


CRONE'S HOLLOW THEATRE Not to be confused with the town's new and illustrious movie theater (boasting a whole 3 screens), The Crone's Hollow Theater is a stage theater full of old-time charm where musicians and thespians alike are welcome.


CRONE'S HOLLOW TOWN SQUARE Here you will find the town hall and police station nestled comfortably between a playground and a long abandonned dance studio. Peppering the street are various shops with apartments above.


DUFFY'S DINER Since 1978, it's been owned and operated by the Duffy family. Duffy's sits on a spot of land where the veil's a bit thin, apparently, as they can see up to three otherworldly patrons a day. Most of the family is used to it, but Oliver Duffy never gets used to them phasing out on the tab.


THE GERTRUDE DEAN REFERENCE LIBRARY Named for a beloved elementary school teacher who went missing in 1982, the underfunded library leaves something to be desired when it comes to providing resources. They offer free internet and computer access, but they're still on dial-up and running windows 2000. Rumor has it that the basement is haunted.


ICE, ICE, BABY Opened in 1990, Ice, Ice, Baby immediately found itself under legal scrutiny over its' name. Ultimately the court's sided with owner Gregory von Iceman in part due to his use of the Rob Van Winkle defense and pointing out the use of commas in the store's name to differentiate it from the song.


LOVER'S LANE A quaint spot behind the high school near a calm, steady lake. There's rumors of drownings and other ghastly events, but are you really gonna pay any attention to that instead of trying to get it on with bae?


LOVER'S LANES If you guys like cosmic bowling, this is the place to be every Saturday night! Unlimited bowling past 10PM!


MCGILLICUDDY MANOR much like the haunted mansion, there's a huge ghost rager happening there. Rumor has it Madame Mildred McGillicuddy poisoned all her guests, because, well, she made sure all her parties were to die for. Rumor has it that if you show up dressed for a party and sit at the long, dusty dining room table, at the stroke of midnight, the bodies of the dead guests drag themselves into the room to sit at their assigned places. You become stuck in your chair and if you don't sing Madame McGillicuddy's praises well enough, you'll join their party... forever.


THE POOCH PARLOR The best place in town to pamper your dog! Owned by Peter Duffy, the Parlor provides an experience like none other for residents' pets. The place is largely popular because of how pleased the animals seem to be after a visit, especially around a full moon!


PREVIOUSLY ON Whether you're looking for unique pieces or shopping on a budget, this second hand shop has you covered. From discount racks of gently used clothes to truly vintage pieces with real personality everything you need for your fashion journey can be found here. Owned and operated by Kris Pugh.


QUARTER FLASH est. 1981 by the late Stanley Doyle. Exclusively hosts retro arcade machines. No credit cards, only quarters. There's also no prize ticket counter but high score holders get their photo added to the wall of fame. The business is hemorrhaging money but Zach feels obligated to keep it running due to its sentient game inhabitants. The venue is available to rent for birthday parties and fighting game tournaments. Owned and operated by Zach Malone, who employs Miles Pacheco.


THE ROOST Well, yee-haw! This is a western-themed bar run by a local ol' coot. Probably the closest thing to a restaurant chain that Crone's Hollow is gonna get anytime soon. Kids eat free Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - and if you're willing to shell out an extra ten bucks, you get a foam ten-gallon hat.


SAFETY TOWN A small replica town that teaches local children about street safety. It's not haunted, it can't be haunted, it's literally safe, it says it in the title. You're better off hiding here than in church if you've got a ghoul after you.


SIT N SPIN The local record store with a unique soundsystem that just shuffles to whatever it likes best. They also sell chairs.


THE TOFFY LOFT If you're gonna rot your teeth outta your head, you might as well jumpstart the process by picking out freshly made candy while listening to "Knock Three Times" in a 50's themed candy shoppe.


outside of town

COCHRAN'S MILL an old textile mill that's seen it's fair share of accidents and abuses. It's a museum now, with the docents in period dress. It tends to stir up a lot of spirit activity and is typically the budding ghost hunter's first gig. It's thought that Luthias Cochran, the mill's owner and a wealthy pillar of the community, had a part in scheming the murder of the witch, but there's no proof...as of yet.


ELDERWOOD PARK located on the outskirts of town, Elderwood is a popular camping site for locals and outsiders, alike, and houses several cabins. It's home to countless wildlife, including grizzly bears, deer, and cougars, and has been the site for numerous reports of alleged 'shadow people' witnessed by campers. The existence of these anomalies has never been confirmed. points of interest within the park are the visitor center and the great old one, a 200-year old and exceptionally tall douglas fir that was struck by lightning in 1937.


THE HELLMOUTH CAVES An old rundown mine shaft just on the outskirts of one of the more quiet residential areas. The carts have been inoperable since well before living memory. Once a popular hang out for rowdy teenagers, the mines have been given a wide berth by the townsfolk for the past twenty years.


LOVER'S LANEZ This one's just a strip club, y'all.


POLA'S HOUSE The scene of the crime, so to speak. This is where the alleged witch Apolonia lived before she was dragged from her house to be drowned in the ocean. It's hidden in the woods, protected by a mixture of superstition and fear of infestation, at this point. The place looks nearly ready to collapse, but that didn't always stop the local teens from sneaking in.


THE STARDUST DINER "Where dreams (and unwanted teen pregnancies) are made." May or may not have been the scene of several events that were eerily specific to the films playing - almost as if they came right off the screen!


WIDOW'S WAIT a large, smooth rock where widows of men lost at sea would stand during storms. In their heartbreak and misery, they would wait for the waves (or something else) to come drag them into the dark water to be with their loves.


residential

HUNT'S HOLLOW Nicknamed "Haunt's Hollow" by the locals, these seemingly quiet suburban streets are also home to the more happening hot spots for ghost activity.


THE SHIRE a neighborhood of tiny houses that's referred to as the shire because they're all cute and vaguely resemble little fairy tale cottages and everyone there eats second breakfast. The prevalence for hairy toes led to a booming esthetician's parlor nearby.
