Halloween Haunt at Knott's Berry Farm, aka Knott's Scary Farm, spoofs celebrities and the worst of the year's pop culture in its annual "The Hanging" show. For 2013, "The Hanging — It Stinks" has scratch-and-sniff stickers available for the audience to sniff along when a sticker's number appears on screen. "The Hanging" kills off celebrities and the absolute worst celebrity-offender-of-the-year gets hanged at the end. The show contains parodies, celebrity impersonations, crude/corny jokes, fights and stunts.

• Recorded on opening night, Sept. 26, 2013 of the annual 2013 Knott's Scary Farm Halloween Haunt at Knott's Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, California.
