Haunted Hotel — up close and personal
By Tom Riley
UP staff writer
Have you ever wanted to know
what goes on backstage or behind
the scenes of a play, concert or
movie? Some people want to meet
the performers in person and see
just how many people are involved
in putting on the show — to experi-
ence the blood, sweat and tears up
close.
Such is the case with me and the
Haunted Hotel.
“Everyone at some time gets a
thrill in scaring someone, like a
brother or sister or good friend, real-
ly good,” said David “Psycho”
Walker, hotel actor. “As kids, we
liked pretending to be vampires
and other monsters."
I wanted to know what it is like
to honestly scare people, in good
humor, of course, and to witness
their reactions. Going behind the
scenes of the Haunted Hotel and
meeting the people involved would
give me that chance.
I went up to the dressing room
before that night’s “performance.”
One conclusion struck me almost
immediately: This group was like a
family. There were jokes being told,
and laughter (or the lack of it, as
there were some bad jokes) was
heard. This group was definitely a
close-knit crew.
The actors were getting into
their costumes for their respective
scenes of the night. Brian Vogel, an
LU art major, was painting the
makeup on one of the newer actors.
They were helping each other out
when needed.
“We are family, we watch out for
each other here and when we go out
after work,” said Deej Riley, two-
year veteran of the hotel. “We’re all
good friends.”
I was directed to the closet
where the jumpsuits were stored. I
found one that fit after nearly hav-
Hanging heads at the Haunted Hotel
ing a fit looking for the right size. I
then grabbed a mask. It was a were-
wolf mask (Aawooool).
It was time to take our places. I
didn’t have a particular place
because Eric Metts, the manager,
said I should roam the halls to get a
better idea of the best hiding places
and the way the. regular people
went about their business.
The first group of people was
coming. Here was my big chance.
I’ve scared younger cousins and
neighbors on Halloween before. I
could do this easy.
I was hiding behind a short wall
when the five middle school-age
kids approached. I lunged out from
behind the wall and I growled really
loud.
They laughed at me — not quite
the reaction I was hoping for.
I tried the same concept of
jumping out at people on the next
three groups, mostly little kids. All
but one giggled, and he didn’t
because he was coughing. I failed to
surprise them. They weren’t really
scared.
I realized that I needed to take a
different approach.
Duck race set Sunday
The first annual Southeast Duck
Race is set for Sunday at the conclu-
sion of Shrimpfest in Logan Park on
Pleasure Island.
The race will feature 10,000 rub-
ber ducks "competing" for prizes.
Each duck is "adopted" for a $5
donation, with proceeds benefiting
the St. Mary Hospital Foundation.
First prize is a 1991 Chevrolet pick-
up truck.
Proceeds of the duck race will go
to help fund the hospital's pediatric
unit, The Children's Medical Center,
scheduled to open in November.
Duck race organizers have set a

“Since 10,000 B.C., the general
trend has been toward ever-increas-
ing aridity, culminating in the pre-
sent-day Sahara,” said Robert
Schoch, a Boston University geology
professor and a member of the expe-
dition.
“Pharaoh Chephren evidently
repaired and refurbished the weath-
ered Sphinx around 2500 B.C., but
he did not build it,” Schoch said.
If a civilization older than the
ancient Egyptian built the Sphinx,
there could be other relics still to be
discovered beneath the desert sand,
he said.
Seismograph studies of the
ground around the statue indicated
channels cut into the sandstone
bedrock. The findings might mean
the Sphinx was built on top of an
ancient cliff that has since filled in
with sand.

How about the stealth bomber
approach? Sneaking up on a group
before they knew what hit them.
That was it. It had to be.
The hotel has numerous secret
doors and passageways, making
ways for security to escort freaked
kids outside and for actors to sneak
up on unsuspecting prey.
There was a group of six people,
all college age, passing through. I
was hiding along a wall in one of the
rooms that used a smoke machine. I
didn't jump out at them. I merely
fell in stride with the group as we
walked through one of the very dark
corridors. So far, so good.
The next room was poorly light-
ed, but the light would be sufficient
for the girl who was holding my arm
to realize I. didn’t belong in the
group. She had been following me
the whole time. She had to catch on
soon.
She did.
All she. said was “eek.” That was
it, “eek.” No ear-piercing scream.
No flailing about with arms or legs.
No fainting, just “eek.”
But that was enough, for as I
looked into her eyes, even in the
Photo by Brian Vincent
dim light, I could see surprise. She
was startled, and when the rest of
the group realized what her problem
was, they freaked. I quickly ducked
through the hall and out a secret
door. I had succeeded.
There was a certain grim satisfac-
tion within me. I should have been
ashamed of myself, but I wasn’t.
They paid for this; that made it feel
even better.
There weren’t many more people
passing through on this Sunday
evening, but I used my success in
“stealth sneaking” to terrorize the
handful that did. This was a slow
night. I could only imagine what it
would take to do this for more than
two hours.
“On busy nights you get such an
adrenaline rush when you know you
scare these people,” Brian said. “It
carries you through.”
“It’s all for fun. You go through to
get scared, to get your girlfriend
scared ... it’s good clean fun,” David
and Deej said.
Well, it was fun. Trick or Treating
is coming. Kids will be out. I can get
that mask if I wish. Hmmmmm.

mation, contact Foundation Director
Jody Roberts at 989-5118.
When a duck is adopted, a ticket,
is matched to one of the pre-num-
bered yellow rubber ducks that will
be used in the race. The number on
the ticket corresponds to the number
on the duck.
The ducks will be dropped into
the Pleasure Island Marina and
