October is almost here, and things are getting spooky in central Illinois.
 

Janice Peterson, Executive Director of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce explains they're feeling excited for the new aspects of the haunted house, which opens on October 4th. This year will feature enhanced concessions and an online ticketing system. 

Peterson says they've partnered with Haunt Pay, one of the biggest haunted house payment sites, to simplify the online ticketing process. Purchasers will receive a QR code in their email, that will be scanned at the door.

There is still a little work to be done at the haunted house before opening day. Peterson notes they have a couple of rooms that need work, as well as putting the finishing touches on the lighting and sounds. Although volunteers are no longer required to construct the house, they are needed for the operations of the house and the concession stand. 

Another attraction at this year's haunted house is the revamped escape room. It will have a whole new theme put on by Lynn Long. Tickets for the escape room will also be available on the new online ticketing system. 

The haunted house is the chamber's biggest fundraiser of the year, and purchasing tickets is a great way of supporting Clinton's local businesses. If you're interested in volunteering or purchasing tickets, visit clintonhauntedhouse.com
