| Buffalo State students put final touches on haunted house |
Making Fishers of Men and Women, an
afterschool program, is collaborating with Buffalo State College students to
create a haunted house.
The haunted
house will be running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 29 at 33 18th St., the event is free and open to the public.
A vacant house was purchased by Making Fishers of Men and Women for the event.
Paul
Gabriellini, a senior at Buffalo State studying theater, said he has taken
control of the haunted house project.
“To put it
simply, we are putting on a fun, safe and free event for all of the youth and
the community,” Gabriellini said. “Students in the theater department will be
acting at this haunted house and there are twice as many actors compared to
last year.”
This year’s theme is called “Tribulation Trials” in which
participants become “patients” and are put
in frightful situations involving claustrophobia, suspense, mystery,
blindness and darkness, Gabriellini said.
Mike
Brundige, the program director of Making Fishers of Men and Women, said he
gives complete credit of the haunted house to Gabriellini.
“Paul has taken our meager attempt to offer the youth and
families of our community a simple, safe and fun alternative to being out on
the street and turned it into something just as nice as these top dollar Fright
Worlds,” Brundige said. By Shari Ingles and Maureen Vitali
