Slaughter House Farms gives 47 ABC sneak peak of haunted attraction
Slaughter House Farms believe they are Delaware’s largest haunted house attraction. It’s set up by about seventy volunteers; and they start building the massive scene in March to get it ready for the spooky season.
Terry Scott says, “We try to pick up everybody’s fear.” Slaughter House Farms believe they’re the best at scaring, so to prove it, they took 47 ABC on a sneak-peak inside their haunted house.
First, 47 ABC started out with the classic dangling bodies. Scott says, “It gets real smoky. The bodies are waving around and then the butchers will come to get you out.”
The room with the dangling bodies leads into a room where live bodies are strapped to tables.
Scott goes on, “A shot gun comes out from out from the back of us. A 12 gauge goes off right here.”
The haunted house also features a room with rodents. 47 ABC’s Jobina Fortson found it to be a bit creepy. That space leads to the electric chair and bloody river you can only get over on a narrow bridge.
From the bridge, folks go into a room with a casket and then move into the graveyard; where folks are chased with chain saws.
The corn maze is called Stalker’s Field. Scott continues, “This year so far we’ve had we’ve had over 31 people pee themselves that we know of.”
Scott says others have had various other bodily evacuations. 47 ABC’s tour wrapped up in the all florescent room which at night will feature a seven foot clown. In addition to giving some serious scares, Slaughter House gives back as well. They’re donating to three charities this year. The first is Operation We Care. They support troops overseas.
Scott says, “The second place, we put a donation into Laurel Fire Company because they have to come out here and sit here because we can’t run it without a fire engine. Thirdly, there’s just a little small community charity that we donate a little money too and that’s what happens.”
Parking opens at 6:15 p.m. and Slaughter House Farms begins processing bodies at 7:15 p.m.
We’re told it takes anywhere from thirty to fifty-five minutes to get through the entire haunted house. On Friday nights, Slaughter House averages at more than six- hundred people; and on Saturdays more than eight hundred. Organizers recommend children younger than 10 stay home.
