As many of you know I've talked about doing a local haunt on here several times. We just had our opening weekend the 8th &9th...duh. We had approximately 320 visitors...wow! we were really excited. We collected $473 in donations and cleared $212 on concessions. We opened 1 weekend earlier then last year to try and raise some extra money and we think it worked. The theme this year is House of the Dead, and so far we have had some really good comments. We are thinking about adding a pair of debating zombies to mock Busch and Kerry, but that's still up in the air. As I said before, we split the monies between the PTO/Youth league, H/S drama club and the haunt for props and operating costs. One of the local volunteer F/D is having some money problems and we are thinking of making a donation to them as a group too. It's a lot of work, but it's great fun, I've had a bunch of calls from friends of the students wanting to volunteer on the upcoming weekends so there's no shortage of help, it seems everybody likes haunted houses. We didn't have very many College students yet, but we are hoping as it draws closer to Halloween they will show up.

I'm not trying to blow my own horn, I'm just really proud of what we are doing, and doing something I really love. I know it's been done before, but a movie about on of the actors at a haunt, really being a serial killer escaped from the local asylum and hacking up actors as well as guests....now that's a horror flik.
