Sundance Haven to host Haunted House

Oct 28, 2013 | 6:42 AM

For the last three years, Prince Albert’s Sundance Haven, a group home for girls, has hosted a Haunted House.

Danielle Panas, a youth worker at Sundance Haven, said they took over doing the haunted house from the Prince Albert Arts Centre.

The Haunted House held at the Anavets Unit 222 at 25 – 11th Street West will be open Monday to Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and on Halloween they will be open from 4 p.m. until midnight.

“From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. are our kid-friendly hours, so we leave all the lights on and we just kind of have people tour guiding the kids around so they can look—so the lights aren’t out and it’s not as scary for them,” Panas said.

On Halloween night there will be an adults only run through from 10 p.m. until 12 p.m. to “try and give a bigger scared.”

“The differences from the kids’ version are the lights are all out, we have people placed in all of our rooms and we have dummies in our rooms that are there to scare people whereas in the kids’ friendly hours we don’t do any of that. Then there’s screaming going on, some banging and stuff that doesn’t happen at the kids hour too,” Panas explained.

It’s $3 to get into the haunted house and there is a fortune teller on site as well, which will only cost $1.

All the money raised through the haunted house goes towards the Sundance Haven Travel Club

“Every two years we try and take the girls on a trip, so they can see parts of Canada so all the proceeds from the haunted house goes to that,” Panas said.
