Before I get into this review, I want to note that this is the 100th maze movie review I have done. When I started I never thought I would find so many movies with the theme, but I look forward to watching many more !

How many horror movies have you seen where a mental patient escapes from the hospital and then wreaks havoc ? Well you can add one more if you catch this one on late night television (ok, streaming). This particular mental patient wants to be a doctor and so makes his kills in doctorly ways. I wanted them to be even more over the top, but it was fine. He also tends to giggle a lot when he kills and so that is how we get his name. Anyway, during the movie we get a chase sequence at a fair that ends up in a funhouse mirror maze. Not a good place to be escaping a murderer.

Overall, this is a bad 90’s horror film that you can skip.

I give it a 5.0/10.

Visiting a Labyrinth in Tremont (Cleveland, Ohio)

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and I have been walking by a labyrinth for a few years and I did not even know it. It is at the St. Wendelin Parish in the Tremont neighborhood. It is not apparent there is a labyrinth there from the street, but I am glad I found it ! Let’s look at what you’ll find there !


St. Wendelin Parish Labyrinth

Location:

2281 Columbus Rd, Cleveland, OH 44113

How to get there: I got there on foot, but if you take the bus, the stop is on 25th and Monroe (Stop ID: 08251) taking the 51/51A, 2 stops before or after the Westside Market depending on your travel direction. It is also near the W25th-Ohio City train station.

From the street you will see the school, parish and church with the entrance obvious:

Make your way behind the parish building. In the photo above there will be a walkway to the right behind the flag pool. You’ll find the walkway below leads behind the building to the garden/labyrinth area.

On the building you’ll find a plaque telling you about the labyrinth and prayer garden. And of course the reason you visit, the labyrinth, made of pavers, a 5 circuit. At the back of the labyrinth garden is a statue of St. Wendelin. The setting is quiet and peaceful and easy to find.

There are also a few benches in the garden if you want to take a break and pray/meditate. If you are not from the area, make sure to stop by the West Side Market, just down the street and visit the shops and bars along W25th.

If you are ever in Asia here are some other mazes and labyrinths I visited:
