Student groups celebrate Halloween by hosting haunted houses
By Beth Muldoon
THE BATTALION
The goal of any haunted house is to frighten those who enter,
iwever, to reach that ultimate goal, producers of haunted houses
list complete preparations and time every scary element perfectly.
Brooke Patterson, Class of 2005 president for the College of
terinary Medicine and a first-year veterinary medicine student,
d advertising is the most important part in preparing for the vet
lool’s 10th annual Night of Terror.
“We have been working with the local radio stations for a while,
dthey are donating time to come out to the vet school next week
do live broadcasts,” Patterson said. “We also put a lot of work
oeach room, planning and trying to make it as scary as possible.”
Kappa Sigma members have used the entire fall semester to plan

Hotard From Hell, the only on-campus haunted house, has a
epanel of people who prepare the hauntings each Halloween.
Bert Froeba, resident advisor at Hotard Hall and a sophomore
igineering major, said every floor has representatives and presents
signs for the haunted house.

“The money goes to our hall funds since [Hotard From Hell] is
the primary fundraiser for Hotard Hall,” Froeba said.
Kappa Sigma plans to donate a portion of its proceeds to the
American Red Cross and the Mental Health Association, Widmer said.
Kappa Sigma’s Wicked Woods will be outdoors, Hotard From
Hell will be in Hotard Hall on campus and the Vet School’s Night of
Terror will terrify house-goers at the old portion of the Large
Animal Hospital, located next door to the Veterinary building.
“There are 13 different stall areas that we will use as rooms and
each will have its own theme and staff,” Patterson said. “There is a
maze that takes you from room to room with a few surprises in
between each one.”
Hotard will have a theme for every floor, with sev
eral bathrooms decorated as well.
“The TV lounge and several rooms are used
too,” Froeba said. “Tour guides will take a group
through the house and go through each floor.”
The Wicked Woods will take house-goers on a four-acre
adventure through the darkness of dense woods.
“Visitors will enter scary rooms, cross over murky
bridges and be frightened beyond belief when they least
expect it,” Widmer said.
The ghosts on the other side of the adventure also
have a hauntingly-good time.
“This is the second year I’ve helped with
[Hotard From Hell],” Froeba said. “My favorite
experience was watching my RA last year pretend
to get his hand cut off and run around screaming
and scaring the group.”
According to Widmer, visiting and making it
through the Wicked Woods is a test of one’s courage.
“It’s always rewarding to see people running
and screaming out the exit after the final scene,”
Widmer said. “You get to witness how loud the
girls can scream and how fast the guys can run.”
Patterson said her favorite part was seeing the
community come together to have a good time.
“Everyone gets involved,” Patterson said. “It’s
wonderful to see the community, the University and
the faculty and staff come out and visit our haunted
house. This is only the beginning of what we have
planned for the entire year.”
The vet school’s Night of Terror is held until Oct. 27 from 6 p.m.
to 1 a.m. Hotard From Hell will be held Oct. 27 from 9 p.m. to 1
a.m. and the Kappa Sigma Wicked Woods is tonight until Oct. 27
and Oct. 29 to 31 beginning at 9 p.m.

ISLOPASi
A little bit country, a little bit classy.
He's played with almost every country star you can think
of including Travis Tritt's "Devil Went Down to Georgia.
He regularly jams in jazz sessions all over the country.
He composes classical music and is praised by even the
most discriminating critics. In fact, about the only thing
Mark O'Connor hasn't done is perform in Rudder
Auditorium. But that's about to change.
On Saturday, November 3, Mark O'Connor joins the
Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra for the classical
music event of the fall. The one-night-only event will
, , . , begin with the orchestra performing Vivaldi's ’The Four
: Seasons." The evening's second half will feature Mark
O'Connor, joined by the orchestra, performing his latest
composition "The American Seasons."
