You can read a little about the event on the St. Pat’s Page, but here is the inside scoop.
HOW BIG WILL IT BE? We expect around 600 patrons. We raised the price from $30 to $35 this year on Yuletide and St. Pat’s, which will lower demand slightly.
THE PHILOSOPHY: We promote this as a last chance to get scared before the fall. For our haunters this is a “Maximum Effort Sprint”. We have a few unique costumes, like fairys and leprechauns, but for the most part the costumes are the same. Makeup is a different story. We will have more people helping with makeup than any night during the fall season. We think great makeup for this event can make a difference, and the looks might take a bit longer since they might be different than the fall. We also serve beer, which increases attendance a bit.
THE ASSIGNMENTS: Haunted Forest, Dark Trail, & Hayride. Stay tuned for the Hayride re-theme which is moving in an alien, body-snatchers, parasite, last of us kind of vibe, where March will be v1.0.

HAUNTING “ALTERED”: Unfortunately, very rarely, haunters think it might be a good idea to take a drug (alcohol is a drug too). If you want to lose your position and get paid minimum wage for all your hard work, showing up altered is the best way to accomplish that. Please understand how serious this can be. Imagine what happens to Panic Point if a haunter makes a bad decision while under the influence.
