Prepare to be scared by the Roanoke Jaycees. The community organization opened its annual haunted house on Thursday night.
This year's "fear factory" is inside an empty building off Orange Avenue.
The tour begins with a series of rooms. Each one has a different theme to make you scream. Then there's a maze with creatures lurking in the dark following by what organizers call "nightmare alley". It's a large room that looks like an old morgue with body parts hanging from the ceiling.
The group and actors have spent weeks putting together this scream-tastic event.
"I've been doing haunted trails for seven years and its just great," says Leslie Gouffray who can cackle just like the wicked witch from "The Wizard of OZ", "It's a lot of fun to dress up and the whole setting up stuff, making props, making the costume and scaring people."
The Roanoke Jaycees is collecting canned food items to donate to the Feeding America Southwest Virginia Food Bank.
If you dare to venture inside, the haunted house will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until Halloween from 7:30p.m. to 11p.m.
Admission is $12. You will receive a dollar off admission price if you bring a canned good.
