2003 Haunted House Credits
The heart and soul of the haunted house; the committee — led by the chairman — coordinate every aspect of our haunted house: finances and budget, obtaining permits, camp cleanup, construction, finding and purchasing needed construction supplies and props, makeup, cleaning, painting, ensuring the bodies will never be found, publicity, graphics, web design, manpower, concessions, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, ticket sales, and about a bazillion other logistic concerns. Each committee member is responsible for a specific area of our haunt, and several of these areas (for example, publicity) require sub-committees to get all the work done! Reading this roster, you can appreciate what a massive undertaking our Haunted House really is. We’re very proud of our 2003 committee and the impressive haunted house they have produced.

Rooms / Walk-Byes: The brave souls who create a cabin or walk by (a “room”) will spend over three months in construction. They’ll plan a room, gut the existing structure, frame the walls, install sheet rock, hold sacred midnight rituals in the pale moonlight, build ramps, trapdoors, fake floors, and much more. They will electrify, paint, decorate, wire speakers, shop for and create props, and prepare a script for their scare. Over 12 nights, they and their team will give over 1000 performances of their scare. Our compliments to this year’s “room” people:
