The Clinton Chamber of Commerce saw a record turnout for their annual scary fundraiser.

Marian Brisard, Clinton Chamber Executive Director, told Regional Radio News on the WHOW Morning Show Friday, 2021 was a record year for the Terror on Washington Street Haunted House.

Brisard says the annual haunted house is a huge undertaking and is thankful for all of the volunteers from set designers to actors to concessions. Groups that volunteered this year included the high school thespians and Second Chance for Pets.

Brisard notes the crowd favorite this year was the fog and laser room. She says year after year this is always an effective scare.

Planning for next year's haunted house will begin in March with a trip to a convention in St. Louis. Brisard says the ideas for the different rooms come from the convention as well as specialty publications.

Brisard now turns her attention to the annual Christmas Parade on November 27. The Chamber will announce the grand marshal today on social media.
