Haunted barn jumps to life SHANNON RECABAREN Staff Writer After three signs with no direc tions, I finally found the Hoffman Farms Haunted Bam in Canby. My heart began to beat a little faster as my fear of Haunted Houses rose to my throat. I think at that mo ment, I could have jumped at a fly landing on my nose. I stepped into the small produce store filled with Halloween treats and vegetables and asked the girl at the counter where the entrance to the Bam was. As she explained, she rang me up for my ticket. $8.50!! 1 ($5.50 for children 12 and under). This was definitely the most expensive Haunted House I have ever been to. At the entrance, a zombie handed me a pair of 3-D glasses. New this year, the house has added the new 3-D show called the Sandman’s Realm. My favorite part of the house was the sidewalk with the spinning walls. The fluo rescent polka dots twirling around me really made me believe that I was spinning instead of just the walls around me. The “monsters” of the house could have used act ing lessons. Their scares were dull and completely fearless. As one “doctor” yelled at me to give him my blood, I couldn’t help but laugh at how unreal his “spooks” were. At the end of the Haunted Bam, came the 3-D painted walls. With the 3-D glasses, it seemed as though fluorescent handprints and splatters of pain were jumping out at me and closing in. The entire journey through the bam lasts four to six minutes, de pending on how fast or slow you can handle the spiders and bodi- less men running after you. For those of you who can’t take the gremlin and goblin action, there are exit doors every fifty feet to rescue you. You can travel through the Haunted^ Barn any Wednesday through Sunday starting at 6 p.m. now through Halloween. Bottom Line: Just for creativity, I give this bam of spooks an 8.5. * Join KUPL (radio) and also expe rience the eight-acre, bull-shaped com-maze, or eat at the yummy concession and visit thovegetable produce all put on by Hoffman Farms in Canby. Also, have your picture taken with the three largest pumpkins grown in the Northwest, one of which weighs over half a ton, 1,026 pounds to be exact. To find the barn, take the Canby/ Hubbard Exit off 1-5 and follow signs to 6815 S. Knights Bridge Road. For more information, call 503-266-2177, or visit Hofffnanfamilyfarms.com. on-line. Terrorville terrorizes trick-or-treaters JON BAGGS Staff Writer When I first pulled into the park ing lot and took a glance at Terrorville I had my doubts. Re puted as one of the scariest haunted houses in Oregon, it is housed under a giant tent, But as I bought my ticket I could see people running from the exit pant ing and talking with excitement of what they had seen. Waiting in line the anticipation ran high, only to escalate with every scream from the next room. To keep guests from bumping into each other, they timed when and how many people went through, causing the line to seem even slower as I waited my turn. Now I’m not going to min the scares of what I saw, although I will tell you that the wait was worth it. The only thing that was a draw back was it’s shortness in length, but for others it was a little too much, so that’s not a strong ar gument. In conclusion this is not a haunted house to miss, full of surprises and scares. But due to its strong nature, it’s not a place to take the young kiddies. Terrorville is open nightly through Halloween; the gate opens at 7 p.m. and they stop sell ing tickets at 10:30. It is located 30399 S. Grays Hills Road, Colton. To get there from CCC, just take Highway 213 south, then take a right at Highway 211 to Colton, the right fork onto Schieffer and then a right on Grays Hill. Cost of admission is $8.50 for kids aged 13 and older; all oth ers $6.50. $ 1 off admission if you bring two cans of food that for the Oregon Food Bank.
