Haunted house offers so much fun it’s scary

BENTONVILLE — They stood outside the old, wooden rickety house. Minutes earlier a darkened bus had dropped them off in front of the house.
They did not know their whereabouts. The windows were blackened and they could not see outside the bus. The ride was a bumpy one.
Before the bus came to stop, a hideous figure had jumped out from a hidden spot on the bus.
Now cries and screams could be heard coming from the house. A figure dressed in black with a white mask stood looking down from a window. "I didn’t know it was going to be this scary," 9-year-old Otto Troutner told his mother minutes before entering the haunted house. "What did you think haunted meant?" his mother Janet Troutner of Centerton said as she laughed and smiled at her son.
Otto, his mother and others waited Friday to bravely enter the haunted house held by the Bentonville Breakfast Lions Club. "I get a bad feeling standing out here," Otto said as the moans, cries and screams continued coming from the house.
It was Otto’s second brush with a haunting experience. His first was six years ago, but he doesn’t really remember it.
Otto enters the home. Through twists and turns evil figures jump out to remind him to question what is waiting around the next corner.
Through the maze-like passages, a vampire and other nightmarish reminders jump from corners or cry out from above. An evil clown is beating a woman with a bat in a bath tub. A skull is in the toilet.
One of the last risks for Otto is to walk through a cemetery after finally leaving the home. A figure hangs from a tree. A chainsaw wielding madman jumps out. "It wasn’t scary," Otto tells his mother as he completes the haunting mission. "No, I wasn’t scared. It was fun."
His mother reminds him of his fear before entering the house. She holds up her hand and rubs it. She smiles. It was the hand her son was holding.
Eight-year-old Bryanna Stover also enjoyed the experience. She came with her father and other friends. "It was scary, but I didn’t really cry or scream," Bryanna said. "She was too scared to scream," her father, Bryan Stover said.
This is the third year the club has held the frightening event which begins with a ride on the fright bus and ends with a trip through the haunted house.
The last chance to enjoy the haunting experience will be Sunday. It should start around 5:30 p.m. according to Jim Durham, president of the club.
Proceeds from the fright bus ride and haunted house will go to support charities supported by the club.
The haunted house — Nightmares — is behind Kozy Heat. The fright bus drops visitors off for the haunting experience.
