The annual Terror on Washington Street Haunted House season is almost here and Clinton Chamber of Commerce officials are hastily getting the building ready.

Janice Peterson is the Executive Director of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce and says she and many volunteers have been hard at work the last few months getting the house ready for its guests in October.

October 6-7 kicks off the Haunted House season. Peterson explains they are rebuilding entire rooms with new and better scares from the year prior. She explains at the end of each year they tear down the rooms and put all the props in storage.

If you're coming out for this year's Haunted House, Peterson reminds there are several fun things to take advantage of while you wait.

Additionally, Peterson reminds of the 'friendly ghost tours' that are geared to the younger attendees.

The Haunted House relies on volunteers to help make each night's presentations happen. Peterson hopes any community or school groups in central Illinois might consider helping and they do compensate the groups for their time.
