For Immediate Release
Redwood City to be haunted by ghosts, vampires,
and more! Proceeds from Haunted House benefit the Fair Oaks
Community Center
Redwood City, CA - October
17, 2003 - This Halloween, you can visit ghosts,
ghouls, goblins, and more at the second annual Redwood City
Haunted House. Brave visitors will work their way through
a variety of nightmarish scenes, avoiding the clutches of
hungry beasts, the gnashing implements of torture, and the
bloody strangleholds of ghostly creatures, hopefully escaping
with their lives and with all their body parts intact.
It all happens on Thursday, October 30 and Friday, October
31 from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm at Fair Oaks Community Center,
2600 Middlefield Road, Redwood City. Proceeds from the $5
adult and $3 children’s entry fee will benefit the Fair
Oaks Community Center’s Holiday Fund and emergency assistance
fund.
People who dare to visit will take a guided tour through
10,000 “scare-” feet of these murky haunted chambers
as they are confronted by bizarre and horrible creatures.
This year’s new and improved Halloween extravaganza
promises extreme fun and frights. Parks, Recreation and Community
Services employee Steve White is the haunted house director,
with extensive special effects experience, including in Hollywood,
and has produced many haunted houses elsewhere on the Peninsula,
in addition to last year’s very successful offering
in Redwood City.
EXPERIENCE the horror! FEEL the excitement! ENJOY Halloween
fun, and contribute to a great cause! Due to the frightening
nature of the Redwood City Haunted House, this event is recommended
for children ages 10 and older. (For younger children, be
sure to visit Redwood City’s Halloween Spooktakular,
Saturday, October 25th at 11 am at Red Morton Community Center.)
The Fair Oaks Community Center, operated by the Redwood
City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department,
offers information, referral, and counseling services to persons
living in Redwood City and neighboring communities. Redwood
City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department provides
programs and facilities for social, educational, recreational,
