About:

The back story to the Haunted House is that once upon a time, not so long ago… Dr. Horus Hopper lived in the majestic home. And under the influence of his passion (which, of course, was wine) Dr. Hopper would spend hours in his laboratory experimenting on his patients for he had a gruesome, secret fascination with the inner workings of the mind and body. People would come in for treatment of a minor illness, but they would never check out. Now, the house is open with 11 rooms of horror. But beware: You might run into the Doctor — or into one of his many human experiments that went terribly, terribly wrong.

Proceeds from the holiday spook-out will benefit local charities. Quite fittingly, the Blood Bank of the Redwoods will be on hand to accept donations of your blood, October 26, 6:30-9:30pm.
