Highlands Haunted House 12: Wrap Party

Pizza, drinks, awards and fun! The Highlands Student Council celebrated on November 7th, 2024 after our amazing 5 day run of Highlands Haunted House 12: “Ravenloft”. The wrap up party was filled with laughter and fun with funny awards that were given out to all the cast members who participated in this year’s Haunted House! Big thanks to the entire crew - 45 amazing Actors, Guides and Special FX who also braved Haunted Plantation and went to Scare School 11 to bring you all the best Highlands Haunted House yet!

Highlands Haunted House 12 "Ravenloft" Solos

This year marked our 12 event and it was a banger! Student Council ran the Highlands Haunted House 12 for 1 whole week right before Halloween. Each Student Council member got to chose their role as either an Actor, Special FX or Guide. Guests were grouped into fours in the order of either Knight, Rouge, Ranger or Wizard character. The way ahead was dark and thankfully our Guides were clever enough to bring "torches" to help guide their groups safely through the haunt. Each character was called upon to use their special abilities in order to conquer each challenge presented to the group until they ultimately found themselves face to face with the lord of Castle Ravenloft, Strahd von Zarovich! Now trapped, the group had to use everything they had in order to survive and live to tell the tale... Huge thanks to our amazing Actors, Guides, and Special FX crew for making our haunt interactive, interesting, and oh so memorable! We can still hear all of your screams til this day hahahahahahahahaha… Brielle Kilton, Spirit Committee

Highlands Haunted House 12: The Aftermath...

Over 1,000 students courageously took the challenge and went on a quest to defeat the evil vampire, Strahd, in Highlands Haunted House 12 “Ravenloft” from October 25 - 30 at the Student Council Room! They bravely took on the roles of either a Rogue, Ranger, Wizard, or Knight before venturing into the spooky castle filled with blood curdling screams and vile monsters! With the help of a brave Guide, the party traveled first through the haunted forest, scary cemetery, and finally, through a secret doorway, they entered Castle Ravenloft… Every character had a chance to use their special abilities to stay alive all the while encountering ghosts, ghouls, vampires, and even Count Strahd von Zarovich himself! Over the course of one week, Haunted House 12 was host to over 1,000 guests, including students, teachers, family members, and staff. The acting, artwork, and sound effects were able to pull guests out of the relative safety of this world and into a Dungeons & Dragons fantasy they wouldn’t soon forget! Highlands Haunted House 12 “Ravenloft” most definitely created lasting memories for everyone who live to tell the tale boohahahahaha… Karly Paradeza, Spirit Committee
