Rooms and Walk-Bys
Rooms 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:
Vortex Tunnel- Bob Webster
Maze- Adam Nolin, Phil Wright with Brenda Correia, Jarod Pelland, Judy Wood, Mike Wood, Angela Baker, Melissa Baker and John Blowers

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.
