The Haunting of the Bryan Fine Arts is structured both as a haunted house and a trick-or-treating event. While there is no cost of admission and the trick or treat event is completely free, students will be cotton candy this year in order to raise money for next year’s event. There will be seating available for attendees.

At 6:30 P.M., the tours will begin for families and children. Previously, the attendance rate had not been exceedingly high. Last year, due to extensive marketing, hundreds of people ended up walking through our doors. After that experience, we restructured how we plan to run the tour groups and have streamlined our system. Now, the building is set up to be one continuous loop where no overcrowding will occur.

A massive detail which sets this haunted house apart from others in the area is our emphasis on the music. Many students who are involved have worked hard to learn pieces of music which are on-theme to the Halloween season. We perform these for the community as a part of this event.

• At 8:00 P.M., or whenever the families and children stop showing up en masse, we add a few more fixtures to the building to make the atmosphere scarier and more akin to a traditional haunted house. Once this is complete, we will begin the tours for the older attendees at around 8:30P.M. and go until people stop showing up. For questions, contact hkkoster42@tntech.edu
