Located among the beautiful oaks at St. James High School is one of the darkest and scariest haunted house attractions in the River Region.

“The House of Screams” is professionally designed and run by Demented Designs and Fabrications. Located in the old gym, this spook show covers more than 6,000 square feet. Every room is full of special effects, animatronics and live ghastly creatures.

This is the third year Demented Designs has donated its props and techniques to help raise money for the softball team at SJH. This year it has designed and donated all new props and animatronics.

“The House of Screams” will open the last two weekends in October: Friday, Oct. 21, at 9:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 28, at 9:30 p.m.; and Saturday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. Admission is $7, and all proceeds go to the SJH Softball team. Concessions will be sold.
