Although some would rather stay home than walk around among zombies, scary clowns and ghosts, for those who thrive on fear, Fort Riley plans to have a haunted house to highlight the Halloween season.
The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers organization on Fort Riley plans to host a haunted house. The haunted house will be staged in an old abandoned building in Fort Riley “that many think is haunted,” said Anne James, travel clerk for the Fort Riley Morale, Welfare and Recreation Services.
BOSS and the MWR put on a haunted house every year in order to raise funds to support their programs for soldiers and families to keep up soldiers’ motivation and morale.
“This time they decided to use the abandoned barracks,” James said. “They are going with a scary mental institution theme, and it’s pretty scary – too scary for young children, so do not bring them.”
James said they will have hot chocolate and snacks outside the house for everyone.
The event is scheduled to take place from 7-11 p.m., Oct. 29-31, on Custer Hill, Building 7224, in Fort Riley. Cost is $5 per person. For more information, contact BOSS at 785-239-8147.
