Old Red Eyes” has been spooked by the rain this weekend, but organizers for the benefit “haunted house” on the West Gloucester grounds of YMCA’s Camp Spindrift are sure he’ll be around beginning next Thursday.
Horribles Parade organizers have been planning to host a variation on the “haunted house” theme as a fundraiser for next year’s parade, and the presentation — based on the “Legend of Red Eyes” — was to have kicked off this weekend. But Al Kipp, one of the haunting’s organizers, said the event was postponed until next Thursday because of the grim weather forecast.
“It’s the trick-or-treat season, and I guess we just got tricked by Mother Nature,” Kipp said yesterday.
The “haunting” grounds will now open Thursday at 5 p.m. at the YMCA camp, with the showcase set to run Oct. 22 through 25, and Oct. 29 and 30 from 5 to 10 p.m. The haunted woods will also be open Halloween night from 5 to 9. Plus, each night will feature a special fright time for smaller children from 5 to 6:30, when the program will be geared toward them. Beginning at 7 p.m. each night, the haunting volunteers will “turn it up a notch” for older kids and adults, according to organizers Kipp and Dave Tucker.
