There are a few on this page. I thought the CP Overlord "stunt" was much better than the KI version. More of a production and less of a simple gate opener.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
It was actually pretty cool. The screamsters marched to the HSL tech booth area right before 7:35. The booth was lit up and fogging with some creepy music blasting and the screamsters made sure people were scared enough to stay away from them. The Overlord then appeared, the screamsters went down on one knee as the Overlord gave a speech. Kind of like a screamster pep rally, really. It drew a pretty decent crowd the night I shot that set of pictures.

This was one of my favorite parts of HalloWeekends! It really helped to set the mood and got everyone pumped! I was always excited to catch the OverLord and Screamsters whenever I was there on the days they did it.
Hopefully they will continue to do something like this each year. Having an "icon"/nightly "get pumped" show like this is something that really made the event more exciting.
I thought Kings Island's was great! They were banging on the gate for a good 20 minutes before he showed up on the roof. When he came out everybody waiting to get in got dead silent. It was great to watch and then the gates open and its a free-for-all cuz all of the monsters are unleashed on you. It was amazing and my favorite part of the night besides Beast after dark.

Hmm I didn't even know they did this. It would have been cool to see that. I did see the overlord once in Fright Zone on Sunday night. I saw a huge guy facing the other way. I didn't know if he was a screamster or park guest. It wasn't until I passed by and heard someone say that he was the overlord that I knew.
We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
I have video of Halloweekends, including the march of the Screamsters (2 nights actually, the first night my focus did not work correctly, and on the second night a Screamster actually walked into my camera lol) and the entire Overlord speech.
When I get access to a computer with a firewire port I will get them off and uploaded.

There are a few decent YouTube videos already out there of the Overlord production at CP.
Here's a pretty good video of what the Overlord at World's of Fun was like. In my opinion it feels like it runs a little long, but it's pretty good.
Here is one at CP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-ns3WjEKpE
Kings Island was a lot better.
