Haunted Forest

The Haunted Forest is a location that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a forest on Seaside Island that was used as a haunted attraction by T.W. Barker.

Description
The Haunted Forest is a regular, non-jungle, forest area on Seaside Island meant to simulate the experience of entering a haunted location inhabited by ghosts. The entrance is through a gate shaped like a menacing mouth with sharp teeth and yellow eyes. For a fee, people can pass through the forest during the night.

The forest is filled with cheap special effects and atmosphere music to set as eerie a mood as possible during nighttime. These include moving rubber bats, torches, light chains meant to simulate glowing eyes, a cardboard moon, recordings of moans, fake cobwebs and spiders, tombstones, and pressure pad-activated mechanisms that drop fake ghosts. For government-weary customers like Sticks the Badger, the forest also holds proposals for government mandates.

Season two
Opened by T.W. Barker and safeguarded by his Stunt Bears, the Haunted Forest received many visitors during nighttime, including Team Sonic and Dr. Eggman, who visited it together. While Sticks got frightened by the forest's government mandates, Eggman got traumatized by its fake ghosts despite initial skepticism. As such, Sonic, Tails and Barker took Eggman on a daytime walk through the forest to show him that he had nothing to fear. Barker later moved the Haunted Forest's venue to Eggman's lair after getting Eggman to sign it over to him by tricking him into thinking that real ghosts from the forest had invaded the lair.

Trivia
