We had a terrific turnout for opening night. For a dress rehearsal it could not have gone better lines were less the twenty minutes and the games and food area while full it was never over crowded. Today we need to redress a few of the rooms for the afternoon walk through Trick or Treat but will back up to scary mode by 6PM avoid the crowds and come early.

Accessibility during the the Haunted house - Building construction

2010-10-11T19:32:00.000-04:00

Accessibility during construction

First Parish is currently undergoing construction that limits accessibility. A temporary ramp is located at the front of the church to provide access to the first floor. We are sorry to say the haunted house is unavailable to those in wheel chairs or electric scooter.

Work on the replacement of our elevator continues on schedule. It is anticipated that we will return to providing accessibility to all programs and services on all three floors of the church by mid-November.

That means that the 2011 haunted house will have full access to all levels for the event. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause this year.

Beware the Aztec King

2010-10-10T17:00:00.001-04:00

It's coming for you... Here is a floor plan of the second floor for this year's haunt.

2010-10-03T08:24:00.006-04:00

Each room tells its own story and creepy adventures await to all that visit.

Here are some pics of parts for the Revenge of Frankenstein. the large wood structure on the left will be a master control board. The panels on the right will be flanking the center of the operating theater.

This control panel will sit behind the head of Frankenstein as he rests on the slab waiting for reanimation.

The large black circle in the center of the control panel will have a Luma Glass plasma display. This prop was built from recovered wood bottle caps and free cycle finds.
