at 1140 Broadway. The
Thriller is a longstanding
tradition of the recreation
district that started over 30
years ago.
Recommended for ages 7
and older, the haunted house
features dozens of volun-
teers dressed in costumes to
play roles in scary scenes. In
the past, the Thriller has in-
cluded chilling mermaids, an
eerie cemetery, a vampire’s
lair, a zombie apocalypse,
a mad scientist’s laboratory
and more.
The two Halloween
events are free for current
Sunset Empire Park &
Recreation District pass
holders (annual, monthly
or three-month passes). For
all others, admission is $2
per person or two cans of
food, to be donated to the
South Clatsop County Food
Bank. A ticket gets patrons
into both events and may be
purchased at either location.
Ages 3 and under are free.
