Dan Harkless' Knott's Berry Farm Info: Halloween Haunt 2007:
The Hanging: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Max World"
First off, please excuse the bad quality of these videos (which have been
split into three due to YouTube's 10-minute limitation). I taped the show
while standing in line for Black Widow's
Cavern -- due to long lines, I didn't have time to do a dedicated viewing
/ taping of the show. If I had known how long I'd be in parts of the line
with completely or almost completely obscured view, I probably wouldn't have
bothered. Since the video isn't up to my usual standard of quality, I
wouldn't bother to post it, either, but since the other versions of the 2007
Hanging up on YouTube also have audio, video, and camerawork issues, I
figured I'd go ahead and stick these up (and in a format that'll allow
viewing in YouTube's "high quality" mode, unlike the other two versions). If
nothing else, perhaps someone could utilize my footage along with the other
two crappy versions to edit into one decent version. 
I missed about the first two minutes of the show. For that section, plus
better views during my obscured sections, check out disneyguy115's version
(parts one, two, three, four, and five), which suffers
from shaky camerawork (albeit less shaky than mine, since he was standing
closer and thus didn't have to zoom in as far), horrible audio problems (both
due to his camera and due to sound board issues during the show), or EdandAnthony's version
(parts one, two, and three), which was
unnecessarily filmed in NightShot mode (thus most color is absent), has way
over-compressed audio and video, and again, pretty shaky camerawork. Despite
the flaws in those versions, they're probably less annoying to watch than
mine, especially once you get past my Part 1 and things start to get obscured
more (at some points I was pointing the camera at the Black Widow's Cavern
exterior or other things around me when the view of the stage was completely
obscured).
