Some people love getting thrills from haunted houses. I am not one of them I went to my first haunted house when I was 10 years old. I don't remember much of the experience, as I've successfully blocked it from my memory. But I do recall the last haunted house I went to a few years ago, and how it inspired me to never go back.
ANNA ARCHIBALD | ASSOCIATE EDITOR
I was 17 years old, standing outside the haunted barn in Altoona, Kan, with my best friend Sheridan. We were waiting for the group in front of us to go in. I was anxious for our turn, wondering why anyone would pay to be scared half to death, including myself. "It's fine," I thought, imagining how I could even drive down a country road when it was dark outside. I knew it would be fine as long as the spooky barn was void of the most horrifying thing of all: a chainsaw. (Texas Chainsaw Massacre made me irrationally afraid of meat lockers and electric saws.) As we walked into the eerily transformed barn, someone reached through the sheets hanging over the walls and grabbed my arm, eliciting a loud shriek — that's when I
knew that the only thing awaiting us was imminent death. "Chill out!" Sheridan said, rolling her eyes. She thought I was being too dramatic about the situation, and she got hers when we crawled through the werewolf tunnel a couple minutes later.
About 15 minutes in, and right before the exit, my worst fears came true like I knew they would. A masked man looming over us cackled and growled while holding nothing else but — dun dun duuuuun! — a chainsaw. I clutched Sheridan's arm like I would never see daylight again — it didn't matter that the chainsaw had no chain on it, rendering it completely harmless. It was the idea of the matter. I screamed again, but this time I couldn't be silenced and ran out of the barn. (If there's one thing I've learned from the movies, it's to run — because even if you don't you're probably going to die, so why not be proactive?) To read about real hauntings in Lawrence, check out Ashley's article on page 13.
Once Sheridan finally made it out of the place, her arm decorated with my fingernail indentations, I was still shaking. I've never been to another haunted anything. Now I know that "scary" can only happen in a controlled environment where there is a boy holding your hand.

ply can't. Neely will be conducting the second Halloween Bash tonight at the Lied Center. Presented by the School of Music and featuring the University Symphony Orchestra, the Halloween Bash will feature songs to get anybody's heartbeat racing for the approaching Halloween weekend.
There will be a costume contest before the concert for all who dare to dress up like the symphony itself. Neely himself will be wearing five or six different costumes throughout the performance to match each musical piece he will be conducting.
