Haunted House at Frostburg State

Halloween weekend was a win at Frostburg State University this year. There were many different attractions to choose from during the week on campus. On Thursday the UPC made a haunted house that was held in the Lane Center. The haunted house was short but not short on screams and chills.

Students were getting through the haunted house in about two minutes. Many of them though got back into line and went again. Christen Harrison a Frostburg State student said, "I went through the first time and was scared. The second time I went through I did it so I could see what it was really setup like".

The haunted house itself was setup very well by the UPC. Around each corner you never knew what was going to pop out. It started with a girl leading you into a dark tunnel where you couldn't see five feet infront of you. Then you went on around twist and turns never expecting what was next. It ranged from people in clown suits jumping out at you to a woman loudly being electrocuted.

Many of the students wish the haunted house was longer but they were not hesitant on giving the UPC props. Hunter Lumley a student at Frostburg State said, "It was a very short tour but they did a very good job on the decorations and designs". Many students were surprised that the school could get such a good setup for a haunted house. Though it was short the job done by UPC students was great. Frostburg State student Eric Gross said, "While your in the haunted house you never think that Frostburg State students setup everything. It was well done and I'm glad I came out and saw it."

For a small college with little room to make an entire haunted house the UPC did what they could. I didn't hear any complaints or down puts by the Frostburg students. The students in charge of doing the scaring should get some props too. Many people don't like really expensive haunted houses with real people because they are afraid they will get touched. Frostburg State student Courteney Navarini said, "I hate the big haunted houses and haunted fields because the people touch you and really scary you. The students here did a great job of scaring me but not touching me".

For next year though some students thought it would be cool to get the UPC to expand that haunted house. "They should make it the entire Lane Center that would be amazing," laughed Frostburg State Student Griffin Martin.

The UPC did a great job overall with all their Halloween treats. The UPC also held a Halloween Dance which went very well too.
