A sign warns visitors to last year’s Haunted Woods that they are about to have a ghoulish experience. MIDDLETOWN — The Middletown High School North (MHSN) community will host Haunted Woods 2012, the annual night of fright that is a highlight of the Halloween season.
Each year for the past six years, the senior council has transformed Tindall Park, located directly across the street from the school, into a “spook-tacular” Halloween themed extravaganza that draws children, teens and adults of all ages.
This year’s event, with the theme of “Terror on Tindall,” will feature a wide variety of scary scenes throughout the woods, connected by a storyline that will add to the overall fear factor of the event, according to the senior council.
While the main event is designed to be frightening, the senior parent council has designed a Happy Trail for children. This will include face and pumpkin painting, age-appropriate Halloween stories, sugar skulls, candied apples, interactive games, surprise visitors and more. The Haunted Woods’ scary trail opens Oct. 20 just after dusk, at approximately 6:30 p.m.; the Happy Trail opens at 2 p.m.
The rain date for the event is Sunday, Oct. 21. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children. Proceeds from this event will help defray senior class expenses. For more information, contact John Kerrigan by email at [email protected].
