Haunted Schoolhouse
The Haunted Schoolhouse offers you the rare opportunity to face your deepest fears… your darkest thoughts… and the twisted night terrors that haunt your dreams. Ms. Alvah, was never your typical school librarian. She wasn’t content to simply ‘tell’ stories of creepy castles or dark dungeons. She wanted her students to appreciate the books she held so dear… to actually ‘experience’ them, as it were.

Having discovered ancient texts long hidden within the library’s walls, she finally found the way to do just that. She learned spells that forced her students to literally enter, and become a part of, each and every terrifying tale. Word of these missing students got out, and as they were never found, the school was forced to close its doors.

Years passed, and as no one suspected Ms. Alvah, she returned to her beloved library and continued to work her spells. In secret and under the cover of night she invites YOU to enter the ancient books….walk between their dusty covers… traverse their brittle pages… and pray it is her books, and not you, that get ‘checked-out.’

Haunted Laboratory
In the Haunted Laboratory, meet the deranged Dr. Guggenheim, who for years has led a team of scientists in his mad pursuit of manipulating DNA and controlling genetics. “Nature has gone far too slow on its own. People are still so weak…. so pathetic. Only my genius and my virus can speed up the process of evolution,” he claims.

Working late one night, the Doctor was caught in an accidental explosion that not only burned most of his body and disfigured his face beyond recognition… it also released the virus, which has spread quickly and contaminates the air throughout the laboratory’s four floors. Even if you can escape before the monstrous Doctor finds you or his creatures tear you limb from limb… the virus will likely infect you… and you may begin to feel the change even after you’ve found the relative safety of home.
