Chilling and fearsome kids in the one and only Land of the Lost Souls!

As you walk into this scary performance, you find yourself walking up a rocky hill. As you reach the top, a witch starts to tell you about the stories of the forest but is soon interrupted by two strange wanderers. They ask you if you could help them get to a party but they were too scared to go alone. So, as you descend the path, you find yourself at a cemetery. But it’s not just any cemetery, it’s a pet cemetery! They ask what you are doing in the forest and tell you that you shouldn’t be there. As you move on through the forest, you get to a sign saying, The Land of the Lost Souls.

As you enter many jump scares and forest runners await and you finally make it to the exit of the freaky section you find yourself winding down a windy path and then get to a fork in the road. You decide to go right and reach a bridge, but you can’t cross it because someone died on it? Oh no! You go back and go to a wedding but the groom isn’t there and the bride is not pleased, but she is scary. You then go through some mud and get to a laboratory but a murderer chases you out. Then you get to the party and you exit.

These were some frightening times at Granite Ridge! (GREC) at the Haunted Forest in late October.

We all love a spook now and then, and in the Haunted Forest, students experienced something more than they would in a regular haunted house! With many freaky decorations and creepy scenes, it was a hair-raising time in the Haunted Forest of GREC

The Forest Events

There were many spooky events during the Haunted Forest. Kids of all ages loved the forest events and were very excited!

The main idea of the forest was to spook and scare other kids in other classes and maybe some adults! Even the adults were pleased at this haunted event. This was a GIANT success! This special occurrence fulfilled its name and its objective.

A big thank you to all of the actors and actresses for the haunted forest and for playing their role in their sections.

It was very appreciated among the whole school! Thanks to Ms. Schall’s class including Pet Cemetery keepers, Biohazard Murderer, Zombie Bride and the wedding party, Grim Reaper, Scarecrow, Forest Runners and a HUGE thank you to Candy Shack workers Nick C and Rosemary W and many more.
