Final Photos from EL Jaycees Haunted House

Almost every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the month of October, I would say the following to those about to enter EL Jaycees Haunted House...

"Welcome to Jaycees Haunted House.  No running, no punching, stay on the route.  If you get off the route, you're liable to end up somewhere you don't want to be... like the basement... with the meathooks.

"We have four floors, twenty-eight rooms.  It takes 20 minutes to a half-hour to complete, depending if you're willing to... sacrifice... someone in the group.  (point to most scared member of the group.)

"Now, they ARE allowed to touch you, but... this means they can run their fingers down your arm, grab at your ankles, play with your pretty long hair.  They won't, for instance... snatch you up, drag you off and chew on your face.  Probably.  I can't control them.

"We have such things as the happy dolls, the creepy carnival, the spider room, and tonight... three chainsaws.  Once you go in, I do LOCK the door behind you.  The only way out is to finish the route.  We know where the emergency exits are, and only we determine what an emergency is.  Oh, and if you don't make it... we'll simply staplegun your remains to the wall as a prop.

"Any questions?  Excellent!  Time to go!

We raised over $10,000 for local community charity projects with the Haunted House.  Thanks to everyone who attended and an even BIGGER thanks to all those who participated!  I had a blast, and I'll be ready to smile to those screams next year.
