Haunted barn jumps to life
SHANNON RECABAREN

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

Terrorville terrorizes
trick-or-treaters

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. For more
information call 800-795-9571 or
877-97-GHOST (974-4678).
