I am pleased to announce that although Encore's carnival will not be happening this year, the senior class and ASB will be working together to still provide creepy entertainment this year. May I present to you, "Hall-O-Freak Drive Thru Experience."
WIth approval from the CDC, we have been cleared to move forward with this Covid Guidelines Halloween Special event. Get your tickets early because we are very limited in attendance.
WHAT IS THE HALL-O-FREAK DRIVE THRU EXPERIENCE?
Imagine getting stuck on a lone highway in your car when all of the sudden, the world around you is tranformed into a spooky/scary scene from a horror movie. That is the mission of Hall-O-Freak Drive Thru Experience.
Guests will purchase a ticket for their carload. Cars are allowed one person per seatbelt in the car and cars cannot exceed seven feet tall. Inside the car, one guest will be able to link their smartphone bluetooth to the car radio so the experience can have the fully immersive sound happening in the car stereo.
Following volunteers dressed in hazmat suits, guests will drive their car into the experience where they will make stops to experience each event. As they pull into each stop, they will be prompted to turn their car off. Once the motor is off, the "show" for that stop will start. Using live actors, recorded projections, and special effects each stop will tell a spooky creepy pasta that will be hard to forget.
Once the "show" is complete in each section, guests in their cars will be prompted to start their car and move to the next stop in the experience. Multiple experiences are part of the adventure. Once you are in the experience, you will need to complete the course in the specific order of appearance.
There is a Friendlier version of the haunted experiences from 5 - 6 pm where the stories are still told, but without jump scares to help with the more faint of heart and the younger set that want to see creepy but don't want to be startled.
The volunteers and actors will not touch your car, but they will be scary. Can you face your fears?
With CDC Guidelines, this Halloween event has been planned to make sure that Halloween still offers fun this year. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
You must have a ticket purchased online before you arrive. Reservations are required to maintain CDC Guidelines.
Tickets are for the entire car. You can put one person per seat belt into your car.
