There is also a matinee non-scary performance of the Fright Night haunted house located in the historic Union Hotel with a full-fright version starting at 7PM. Odds are that you've never seen a haunt of this exceptional quality outside a Disney production. As you wander from room to room with screams and scares around every corner, a story unfolds. This year will be a double feature with "The Crypt" in the basement and "The Museum" on the third floor. In the Crypt, you will be an intruder into the final resting place of ancient entities who do not appreciate being disturbed. In the museum, you will learn how two young students in the 50's disappeared after a local professor working at the museum went mad trying to bring the dead back to life.
