We recommend ages 10 and up for the haunted house, but we trust the decisions of parents. Do note there are no refunds for the haunted house if you decide not to finish.
Parking and location
We are located at Cullowhee United Methodist Church: 416 central drive, Cullowhee NC 28723. There is a parking lot at the church. If it is full, there is parking across the street at McKee Hall.
What kind of haunted house is it?
It is not a “Hell House”. We work with college students to make a scary but fun environment. It does have strobe lights and loud sounds. We advise anyone with a medical condition related to these items to use their best judgment before entering the haunted house.
What is not allowed?
While inside the haunt and in the midway we do not allow costumed/Halloween masks, weapons, drugs or alcohol, or offensive/abusive/obscene behaviors towards our actors or other guests. Those who cannot comply will be asked to leave with no refund. The WCU Police Department is on standby during both nights of the haunted house.
Is it scary?
Yes.
