Thrill Land (formerly Apalon) is a simple online publishing venture created with independent researchers, curiosity seekers and casual websurfers in mind. It is a Web 1.0 company founded by Lenwood S. Sharpe in the wake of the dot-com bubble collaspe, on August 4, 2002. Thrill Land largely operates under three main domains: ThrillLand.com, Lumberwoods.org and WeirdHalloween.com.

Thrill Land was born out of a time when the Internet was still dominated by hobbyists, people sharing the things they loved without any further thought or incentive. Thrill Land is still fully owned and operated by its founder and seeks to provide a simple means with which to entertain and uplift others. While it has gone through multiple transformations since its inception, Thrill Land has always remained steadfast in its determination. Minimally funded and singularly staffed, Thrill Land is apart from the sphere of outside interests. In fact, Thrill Land has replaced all advertising on its sites with selected philosophies, proverbs, quotes, sayings, etc.

Today, the old Internet is all but extinct. As it proceeds to be dominated by commercial interests and social influencers, the importance of Thrill Land as a continuing piece of what the Internet once was likewise grows as well.

"I, Lenwood S. Sharpe, started this venture when I was fourteen and hope to continue it for as long as I can. I trust in doing so that such means as much to others as it has meant to me."
