The construction of corn maze involves cutting complicated patterns into the fields of corn. An ordinary maze of this kind is quite challenging therefore it needs a certain level of crazy to try out a haunted corn maze iowa. From above these structures have a spectacular aerial view due to their intricate forms. And on the ground tourists struggle while trying to find a way out and in the process frighten themselves for hours inside this eerie labyrinth.

When the farmers realize that Halloween is approaching, they go ahead and embellish these labyrinths with spooky themes. Then once darkness falls the maze is opened to the public who ether after paying an admission fee. As the people navigate in the dark screaming in terror, the farmers stand back listening. Other than being a family friendly social gathering these corn labyrinths are an ingenious way for the farmers to earn extra income. When Halloween comes to an end the grain is harvested and sold.

Maize is yellow in color and a cereal grain that is produced on long, green strong stalks. It is borne on structures attached to the stalk known as ears. Maize is also scientifically referred to as Zea Mays and since prehistoric times it has been a cultivation crop. The kernels obtained from maize are served a number of ways for instance they can be packaged as cereal, cooked to form popcorn, flaked or fresh.

There is another interesting Halloween site at Clear Lake referred to as Buddy Holly crash site. It was given this name after three rock and roll musicians namely Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper and Buddy Holly crashed and perished at this spot. Their Beechcraft Bonanza crashed due to poor weather while they were traveling to perfume in Minnesota from another gig at Surf Ballroom.

The Iowa state has so many fun as well as grisly places suitable for Halloween celebration. This is one of the reasons why more income is generated through tourism than through corn crop and more evidence to demonstrate this include the Villisca Museum and the Axe Murder House. There site in Villisca is known for the murders of Josiah Moore his six children and wife that were committed in 1912.

However, blood and gore is not all that Halloween entails and this goes especially to those of sensitive disposition as well as the sci fi nerds. For those that are familiar with James T. Kirk who fictitiously commands the Star Trek flagship, there is a replica Star Trek space craft and a plaque in the state of Iowa that marks his future birthplace. March 22 is a day set aside to pay homage to this fictitious man.

There is a tall metalwork referred to as Odyssey situated at the Gateway of Iowa which that has a tenuous link to Halloween. This is the massive artwork of a New York artist known as Albert Paley whose construction cost was $3.5 million. The affectionate nickname given to it is Freddy Krueger Hands which is its connection to Halloween. The Golden Spike Monuments shows the spiky things fondness and was put there as a tribute to the Transcontinental Railroad which was erected back in 1939.

This quiet little state that is far from the hustles and bustles of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts has a lot to offer than what meets the eye. The playful side of this state is demonstrated by the huge and quirky statues as well as haunted corn maze Iowa.
