A room above the Havre Eagles Club is decorated to provide creeps and chills through the Halloween season. The Havre Jaycees Annual Haunted House begins spooking the public Friday at 7 p.m. People can get their scare on at a discount if they bring a non-perishable food item. All food will be donated to the Havre Food Bank, and all proceeds will help fund Koats for Kids.
The Jaycees Annual Haunted House above the Havre Eagles Club is set to start scaring for a good cause Friday at 7 p.m., with some new, chilling attractions.
There will be a new wing open this year containing three new rooms and a hallway, Jaycees member Tyler Tate said Monday. He said the three new rooms will have different themes - a White Room, a Polka Dot Room and a Doll Room.
Tate said that each night through Halloween, people can go through and get a good scare. Jaycee members and local Havre High School volunteers will dress up to frighten all who enter, he said, adding that touring the entire haunted house takes about five to 10 minutes. On a scale from one to 10, Tate said, the Jaycees Annual Haunted House is a "solid seven."
No flashlights and no swearing are permitted; participants cannot touch the scarers, and the scarers cannot touch the participants, Tate said.
"Be respectful of the people putting it on," he said
"Enjoy your time up there," Tate added. "Come up and have fun."
Saturday features a Scare-Free Day from 1 to 3 p.m., he said, for children and adults who want to go through the haunted house and not be scared. Entry cost will be $2 per person or two non-perishable food items.
The haunted house is a community event, Tate said, adding that besides some maintenance and setup costs for the haunted house all of the money goes to the Jaycees Koats for Kids fundraiser in Havre.
Koats for Kids provides coats to local children during the winter.
Entry cost to the haunted house is $5 per person or $4 per person with a non-perishable food item, Tate said, adding that all the non-perishable food items will go to the Havre Food Bank.
Tate said his favorite part about the haunted house is scaring people. To see the kids come through, get scared, then be laughing later is fun, he said. He added that he also likes to see the adrenaline rush in people's expressions when they get scared.
Everyone is welcome at the haunted house, Tate said, adding that last year had a wide variety of ages in attendance, as young as 5 to folks as old as 50 or 60.
