2002 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, writing a script, supervising construction, obtaining the proper permits, finding and purchasing needed construction supplies and props, makeup, cleaning, painting, cleaning up the vampire cabin after a fresh kill, publicity, graphics, web design, manpower, concessions, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, ticket sales, and about a zillion 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 out Haunted House really is. We’re very proud of our committee and the impressive haunted house they have produced.

Guides: They call themselves Legion. Chaos. Harmony. Spiderrella. Glitter Boy the Vampire Slave. Raven. Merlin. Reverend Bob. Widow Penderghastly. Neo. Witch Jane. Gabrialla. They are very oddly dressed. They are creatures of the night. The truth is out there… And so are they. They are your guides. They escort you in small groups through the Haunted House. They’ll tell you the horrific tales of this year’s haunt. Tami Comeau (Stella), Lynda Walsh (Penny), Monica Rigamonti (Rose the dead bride), Robert Gillis (Raven), Sue Gillis (Hellgalena), Carl Bertolino (Chaos), Patti O’Hara, Angela Borderi, “Fish,” Brian McGillacuddy, Andrea Cummings (Myra), AJ Sawaya (Little Luke), Kris Long (Lucy), Jane Webster (Bedtime Birdie), Norm Pelland (Simon), Judy Wood, Mike Wood
Rooms / Walk-Byes: The brave souls who create a cabin or walkby (a “room”) will spend over three months in construction. They’ll plan a room, gut the existing structure, install sheetrock, build, electrify, paint, decorate, create props, ramps, trapdoors and much more, and prepare a script for their scare. Over 13 nights, they will give over 1300 performances of their scare. Our compliments to this year’s “room” people:
