Our Jornada youth group sponsored a haunted house on Saturday, October 29,
2005. The haunted house was a community building activity for the youth
group and was intended for the enjoyment of children and their parents during
the time of Halloween. Please enjoy the photos!

After a lot of preparation for the event,
the whole group of "actors" posed before the
Haunted House began
The tour guides walked through the haunted house in a "dry run" before the guests
arrived.
Pictured here
are some of the
tour guides and a guest. The two other women were parents who welcomed the guests and sold tickets at the
front door.
Danny, one of
our tour guides, went over the rules with the guests who were about to enter the
black gates and into the macabre. We hope the little girl held tight to her
mother!
It wasn't too late for this group to turn around and go back
before Giselle, their tour guide, collected the group's entrance tickets.
You never knew what might have been lurking around the corner.
Guests were warned to be careful!
These scary
fellows were the first to welcome frightened visitors to the Haunted House.
Want some candy?
In the darkness
this guy was hard to see. You never knew what was hiding in the shadows.
There were scary ghouls in every corner. Here is
little Chucky.
If you were not careful, this bloody character would
catch you by surprise as he jumped out of the closet.
The guests were
surprised by the arrival of the head-less man. Giselle, the tour
guide, warned them to keep moving . . . or else!
The guests were
led into the "catacombs" in the darkest and deepest depths of the church
basement; there they prepared to meet "the doctor of death."
Meanwhile, Freddy was lurking around the corner waiting to
startle the guests.
Freddy did his best to scare the guests. Only a
mother could love a face like that!
The school
girls and their friend were not as worried about Freddy as were the guests.
This young lady
was confident and unafraid . . . even though Freddy was hiding right behind her.
This ghoulish guy had spooky eyes and crazy hair.
These characters stepped out of character for this shot.
This poor guy
went to the electric chair. He lit up as the guests passed by.
These clowns
welcomed the guests into their room. A lot of noise and strange lights
frightened those who entered.
No one would want to meet this guy in a dark corner!
This machete wielder had no mercy on his victims.
Little Chucky
caught up with guests in many dark corners and then disappeared behind the
pillars, only to frighten the guests again in another unexpected place.
This poor soul
screamed for help from behind the glass. He was being held by the butcher
who planned to deal with him soon thereafter.
The butcher prepared "to take care of" his victim.
This frightening character with ghoulish face make-up was
hiding in the shadows throughout the tour.
This sickle
wielder pursued the guests from one side of the house to the other. Many
screamed as they came into his presence.
This murderer was waiting near the end of the haunted house
tour for the opportunity for one more frightening moment.
This poor
possessed woman was the last attraction on the tour; she bid the guests words
of "farewell."
At the
conclusion of the tour the guest were invited to enjoy the refreshments served
by the members of the youth group.
