Highlands Haunted House 6: Best Scares!!!

Highlands Haunted House 6 was an event which scared the skin right off student’s bones!  The best scares were captured as students went through the Haunt and boy did we have a laugh!  A simple blast of air sent students jumping six feet into the air!  Students felt their skin crawl at our deranged prisoner skidding into the dungeon and our pair of glowing eyes near “The Thing That Should Not Be!”  Kids were screaming at the terrifying faces of the skeleton guardians...even before they even got into the haunt itself!  At the end, when the students were just “dying” to get out, the great Cthulhu attacked! as they desperately tried shooting their way out of the dungeons.  They bolted out the door of the haunt, running, mostly stumbling,  so fast even our guides couldn’t keep up with them!  The best scares are captured below -- enjoy!  Danni, 8th Grade Vice-President

Highlands Haunted House 5 Best Scares

Let’s set the scene…. The instant you step into the haunted house students scream and jump back as they encounter the burning Witch from the finale of last year’s haunt...the one you previously escaped from... the one that is here, now, for YOU!!! . You want to immediately run away but you can’t -- you have no choice but to go through the entire haunt, in the dark, with only your Guide to lead the way. You scramble below the witches’ lair into the sewers and further into the catacombs to get away! It is then you stumble upon a ritual sacrifice -- a young, innocent girl screaming for help! Could this be the old Witch’s daughter? You have no time to think... You hurry past coffins shaking, pleading you for help, and then... the Shadows come.  They just appear out of seemingly nowhere, just standing, watching, waiting, whispering... And finally, after you’ve made it this far, you see the cave entrance only to encounter “The Thing That Should Not Be!”, the great Cthulhu!!! His tentacles flail and lash out at you as you try to escape to the tunnel on the other side of the cliff, to safety, to school, to our beloved Highlands Intermediate! Yes, you are free...for now, until next year! Below are the best pictures taken from hidden places in the dark. Come on, look at it… IF YOU DARE!!!! Errol, 8th Grade Class President

Highlands Haunted House 4 Scares!!!

Let me set the scene for you... You walk into a seemingly abandoned house, only to find out that there are ghosts and other vile creatures living in there!  Once you find this out, you want to get out immediately -- but, the only way to get out is through the cellar -- yikes!! Building up confidence and nerve, you cautiously walk down those dark, foreboding steps and then a flaming witch pops out of nowhere and ends up chasing you out!!!  This was the main scare from this year’s Highlands Haunted House 4: Curse of the Witch Doll which was by far, the best student activity of all time!!!  For all you doubters, we secretly set up a camera to show you how scared the students were.  Believe me, their reactions were priceless!!!  From the screaming to the jumping to the hiding-behind-your-best friend trick -- everyone was afraid of the Flaming Widow Witch!!!  See for yourself...IF YOU DARE!!!  Cade, Student Government President
