Lehigh Valley’s premier Halloween event, Dorney Park’s Halloween Haunt, is back Sept. 16 – Oct. 29

In a distant but close future, exactly two centuries from now in 2222, a lot has changed in society, or what’s left of it. Unfortunately, government has devolved to nothing as technology and media made the last surviving humans turn to a more rogue lifestyle with an obsession of who they are not.

Anthropomorphic, obsessing over their ancient heritage, deeming themselves deities or other bizarre avatars, everyone remaining have done drastic things over the years to turn themselves as physically realistically possible into the online personas they’ve claimed to be and match their virtual profile pictures. These individuals had been named ‘The Rust Rogues.’

Any human they find who hasn’t been corrupted is an otherworldly sight to them, and some tight-knit communities respond to strangers with nothing, acceptance, or drive them away, generally with fear and noise. Those in the community who hate sound don’t thrive as successfully as those who love it and show it.

Strength does come in numbers, which has made the more extroverted Rust Rogues gather in smaller communities, each one having their own different morals, hunting strategies and hierarchies.

Within each group, they’re all finding ways to stay alive and well in the harsh world they’re forced to call home.

The scallywags here may seem friendly, but cross just one of them, and you might end up at the bottom of Davy Jones’ Locker.
