Haunted House 2018

STORY BY DYLAN COLEMAN »
The fun ended when the glass

shattered everywhere. Tristan Crouch-
er, Sr., was working at the 2016 SADD

Haunted House, as a Sophomore. She
was standing in the dark, alone and
barefoot in the glass case when the
door suddenly shattered.
“I felt so bad, I cried.” Croucher said
when explaining the situation.
After the damage done in 2016, the
haunted house did not return in 2017.
It was unclear if EHS would ever see
another SADD Haunted House – but
this year, the popular event was able
to come back.
Mrs. Pickett, the sophomore English
teacher, took over the role of the SADD
sponsor this year. She explained how

she is understanding of past experi-
ences that ended with damages.

“I think the administration realized
that this was a fun event for the entire
community. Because of the nature
of the event, accidents can happen,”
Pickett said. “We learn from these
experiences and try to avoid them next
time.”
When SADD meetings started up
again, club members wanted to do the
haunted house for another year. After
getting it cleared with administration,
the haunted house was on! Now, all
left to do was to plan and complete

the formidable task of actually con-
structing this year’s haunted house.

“SADD club had numerous meet-
ings to decide the theme for each

room,” Pickett said, “who would lead
each room (mostly seniors), and what
props and costumes everyone was
responsible for bringing.”
Senior Meadow Meier expresses
how she felt about her third haunted
house.
“I felt like this one was pretty great

compared to previous years. I heard a
lot of people were actually scared the
first two times that they went through,
and they thought that our setup was
great.”
Meier was also one of the main
people in charge with the children’s
fest before the actual haunted house
started. This festival was free to the
public, and offered children friendly
activities.

“Meadow also took on the plan-
ning for the children’s fest prior to the

haunted house,” Pickett said, “which

we had a great turnout…I think be-
cause we advertised it more this year.”

Pickett said.
When asked if the haunted house

is back again permanently, Pickett ad-
mits that she can’t foretell the future,

but she is hopeful.
“I hope so,” Pickett said, “I think
each year we will need to evaluate
student interest, but I think it would
be a wonderful tradition to continue.”
