Tonight is the last chance this year—and in fact the last chance, period—to get freaked out at the Theatre 29 Halloween Haunt. Dan Stork got in on the scary fun at the penultimate session…
The tours through “Nightmares”, this year’s Halloween Haunt at Theatre 29, got off to a slightly delayed start, as the large crew of volunteers that make it happen gathered outside for a group picture. Once inside the theatre lobby, we visitors were strongly urged by the ticket sellers to make use of the restroom facilities before starting the tour, to fend off accidents that could be prompted by what would be encountered on the other side of the entrance door. In the first chamber, we entered into the nightmares of a young girl, which later featured assaults out of the darkness on our sight, hearing, tactile sensibilities, our very balance. Upon release from the labyrinth to the cool and reassuring night air, we saw a long line of people eager to get their share of scare. Don’t miss out on yours. It’s your last chance, 7 to 10 p.m. tonight, $7 per ticket, or $5 per ticket in a group of 4 or more.
