Rogers Haunted Hill returns this weekend
SMYRNA – Looking for a spooky good time this weekend? Just follow the screams up Hopkins-Crandall Road as the 9th annual Roger’s Haunted Hill gets underway at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday, an event that has a reputation for scaring the socks off even the bravest of souls.
Now considered a Halloween staple, Roger’s Haunted Hill continues to draw hundreds – if not thousands – to its maze-like den of terrors, featuring all the ghouls, ghosts and things that go bump in the night that anyone could want. From spiders to skeletons, zombie pirates to the occasional severed limb (or head), there’s always something new each year at the annual fright-fest, said Beverly Rogers, one of more than 30 volunteers – made up of friends and family – who organize the event year after year.
According to Rogers, organizers decided to shake things up a bit this time around, moving the haunted hill to a new location. And while things may look a little different, people can expect the same frightening experience, she added. The popular Halloween attraction can still be found on Hopkins-Crandall Road, approximately one and a half miles from its intersection with County Road 16, northwest of the Hamlet of Plymouth.
“We’re at a new location this year, but we’re still on the same road,” said Rogers. “It’s a little different than last year, but we try to do something different every year.”
People can still expect a labyrinth of horror-filled chambers, although most of the haunted hill’s 20-plus rooms are now completely enclosed. Rogers said she and her fellow organizers are hoping the new set-up makes for an easier walk-through and shorter wait. Refreshments, as always, will be available, including chili, stew, hot dogs, hot chocolate and coffee.
The frightening event has grown over the years, noted Rogers, yet has always been – at heart – a family affair. A lot of work goes into the haunted hill each year, she added, with volunteers spending countless hours setting up and tearing down.
“It’s a lot of work,” said Rogers. “We started putting things together in early September and this year there was a lot more building to do.”
In the end, however, it’s all about the fright factor.
Added Rogers, “We still hope to scare them ... it’s scary stuff.”
A not-for-profit event, organizers are asking for a $5 donation per person, which helps keep the haunted hill coming back year after year. A 50/50 raffle, to be held both nights, will benefit the fight against breast cancer.
