Plans are moving forward on this new Haunted house.
We will have a less scary haunted house from 2PM to 5PM.
then things get scary at 6PM till 9PM when the haunted house steps it up a notch.
This years flow will be changing as well. Our entrance is moving to the Elm st side of the old meeitng house. This gives us an extra room to add more events.

Currently in the works for upstairs:

• The Bedford Adventurers Club
• Dr Hoppermire's Transmatter Projector
• The Brides workshop
• Igor's Interactive Lab
• Alien Invasion
• The Experiments room

On the first floor you will find:

• The Bedford Schools great hall where you will find The cracked Calderon Food and Drinks and Three Broom Gaming games of skill for all ages.
• Haunted house maze
• And a whole lot more...

Keep tabs on this site for the latest news and plans.
Happy haunting

Monster Bash is our theme for the 2009 Haunted House.

We are moving back to a one day event but are planning two shifts.

Funny

For young and young at heart in the afternoon where all the events will be more humorous then scary. We will have events running throughout the day.

Frightful

then at night the First Parish Haunted House will become very frightful. Not for the young or anyone who scares easily. Please note none of out events depict violent acts the concept of our haunted house is to give you a little scare... Something might jump out at you. Again and Again and Again...

Here are two pictures of a new prop for Dr Igor's Lab.

Re-use

Re-cycle

Re-purposed

Here is an old Oscilloscope given to us for the for 2009's Haunted House. We gutted it and replaced the vacuum tubes with a few blinking lights. In the future once retired from use it will be sold on eBay as a prop to some other haunt around the country for further use.

Planning meeting is coming up so are a few new props

Well we are about to have our next big meeting to review this years plan. I also have more props under way. I will be posting them soon. Updates so far..

• We are keeping the Cracked Calderon and Three Brooms Gaming themed to the HP universe.
• You might see the times shifting in the day between Funny and Frightful events.
• We are also looking at adding a Photo op area where you can get dressed up as your favorite Wizard and have a photo taken. More on this later.

Happy Haunting!
Karl

NEW for 2009! Igor's Interactive Lab

Allow me to introduce you to Igor of Igor's Interactive lab, or should I say what's left of him.

Here are some other bits left over from Igor's failed experiment. Igor's interactive lab where you will have the chance to be the mad Scientist. This is just one of the new areas of the Bedford 2009 Haunt House.

We hope to see you there...

Regards

Planning for the Future...

We had our first visioning meeting for 2009 and it was great! We have some wonderful surprises in store for you next year. We are moving forward with the concept of Funny event in the afternoon and a Frightful event at night. So keep tuned and check back after Christmas along with the changes of format and hours we are adding more events in the space. We are also looking how to stream line the lines to reduce wait time.

RIP 2008 Haunted House

Well we had hoped to grow from our success from last year and I am happy to report we certainly did. Though the weather was against us Saturday it held out long enough for this, the last year of the Bedford School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be a wonderful and dry time for all. Friday was a little slow that was good allowing for us to get use to the flow. Saturday was a great, though the lines did get a bit longer then we would have liked.

Next year we are witching gears and our theme will be classic movie monsters. So keep posted for 2009's The Monster Bash. A classic movie monsters based walk through upstairs with Games food and other surprises on the first floor.

Here are some photos of the Bedford School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Open House.
