Located on 240 Governors Highway, Haunted Acres is a self-guided experience through the surrounding woods and additional rooms, with scare actors and elements embedded along the way.Although the actors cannot physically touch the attendees, they still frequently jump out from dark corners, scream at passing guests, and even chase visitors with a chainsaw. Upon arrival, there is an immediate environment shift. After passing through security and the ticketbooth, the scare actors won’t wait for you to enter the experience to begin the scaring. Instead they wander out of the woods, walking around you as you wait in lines at the food trucks, before your group enters the actual path.Actors dressed in costumes ranging from classic zombies, clowns and mummies all the way to insane asylum patients, made the rooms come alive. The high quality makeup and costumes not only helps the actors get into their characters, but it also increases the scare experience.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4gXx0A_1GwAYOIc00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4gXx0A_1GwAYOIc00" width="512" height="384" ><figcaption>Scare actors wear elaborate costumes and makeup to frighten visitors at Haunted Acres. ( Nora Carty )</figcaption></figure>Upon entering the woods, the experience truly begins. Music and screams become louder and more intense, and as they follow the dirt path, guests pass through small buildings designed to look like different horror scapes.“The rooms themselves are very small, dark and closed in, so that is another factor that definitely makes the experience even more chilling,” South Windsor student Evelyn Castro said.Within these rooms are more hidden actors and actresses as well as unique features like fog machines, pitch black interiors, and themed rooms made to look like a graveyard, hospital, or asylum.Haunted Acres is a popular event for South Windsor residents, particularly among high schoolers. Conversations about individual experiences and memories can be heard all the time throughout the hallways and classrooms.“My experience at Haunted Acres was really fun,” junior Charvi Dixon told The Prowl. “It was worth the wait because we screamed a lot and laughed because of how scared my friends would get.”As well as being a popular attraction for friends and family, Haunted Acres also hosts group events for organizations and companies which has definitely been a perk for many South Windsor businesses.In addition to scary Halloween fun, Haunted Acres is also a great opportunity for South Windsor locals to have a fun seasonal job. Whether working with the food trucks, the event organizers, or as a scare actor, Haunted Acres has been a workplace that many South Windsor High School students have taken advantage of.Haunted Acres is known for going all out every year with new additions, actors and decorations that amp up the excitement and scare factor for those in attendance. However, if it ever becomes too much and you want to leave midway through, the safe word provided in advance is “Chicken.”According to the Haunted Acres website, children under 14 are not recommended to attend, but it is up to the jurisdiction of the parents to ultimately decide their attendance. Children under 5, however, will not be allowed to enter in accordance with Haunted Acres’ policies.Haunted Acres is a beloved South Windsor landmark during the Halloween season, and is expected to see similar success in future years due to its timeless popularity.</div></body>
