Spookiness is in the air, or in this case the F building.

The Stallion Theater Company held their annual haunted maze to raise funds for their program on Tuesday, October 18. The entire maze was run by students within the drama department.

Senior Charlie Lindberg led the project and was assisted by senior Celina Gigliello, who also helped with special effects makeup. Charlie has been planning the maze since July along with the Insidious theme. “I thought of it [the theme] last year because it was something I really wanted to do,” Lindberg said. “I really love the Insidious movie. It’s a really great film, and it scares a lot of people.”

The students of the Stallion Theater Company used many different strategies to try to capture the attention of students as well as families in order to raise as many funds as possible for the drama department. “The Stallion Theater Company is always in need of money because the more money we have, the more we can put into our shows, so that’s one importance of this maze,” Gigliello said.

Lindberg agreed that the maze is mainly geared to raise funds but elaborated on it’s secondary purpose as well. “The other purpose is just to include people who just want to be involved in the drama department and at the same time entertaining the public,” Lindberg said.

One journey through the maze costed three dollars and five dollars was the cost of two journeys. This year, monsters and ghouls were more interactive than any of the previous mazes they department has held in the past.

Another major improvement in the maze was that it was held entirely throughout the F building rather than just the black box theater as it was in previous years. Charlie explained, “In past years every haunted house we’ve done has been a walk through. This year it’s an actual maze and we’re actually hiding students behind curtains whereas before they would just be standing there.”

The Stallion Theater Company ended up totaling $500 from the maze, leading them to call it a success.
