PLYMOUTH – Now in its eighth year, Rogers Haunted Hill has grown from a small, haunted barn into a spooktacular fright-fest for people of all ages. And what once catered to a much younger crowd now draws thousands to this vast collection of all things strange, scream-worthy and downright scary.

According to Beverly Rogers, one of many organizers who plan and set up the event year after year, it’s a great way for families to celebrate Halloween – and it’s definitely worth the wait.

“I guess people just like to get scared,” laughed Rogers, who – along with daughter Debbie Thompson, property owners Dale and Shelly Rogers and nearly 50 other family members and friends – has been putting on the much-anticipated spook-fest for nearly a decade. “Basically, it’s all about having fun, giving people a good scare and it’s something we enjoy.”

From severed limbs (not to mention more than a few severed heads) to ghosts and pirates, skeletons, spiders, rats, bats and things that go bump in the night, people can expect “a little bit of everything,” said Rogers. This year, several colleges are planning to bus in groups of students to check out the event. It’s an opportunity Rogers and her fellow Haunted Hill organizers are looking forward to, she added.
