Oct 18, (THAINDIAN NEWS) For all those who have been waiting for the fall season, and wondering what exciting could be done in this Halloween, here is one solution. You may attend the famous Headless Horseman event in Ulster Park, New York, just 12 miles from the Marist campus.

This is an annual event hosted by a branch of the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Student Life Council on behalf of the Marist students. This organization has organized several intriguing events for the day which include the mile long hayride, five haunted houses namely, Glutton’s Slaughterhouse, Escape of Prisoner X, and Flesh They Crave: The Feeding, to name a few. It also has a dreadful labyrinth like corn maze that has a dark harvest attraction. The students said that these haunted sets have been organized with the help of established set designers, actors, make- up artist and lightman, so that every person can get a share of the scariest thrill possible.

A sophomore says that the “The Escape of Prisoner X,” may actually be a fake replica of a haunted place, but it has been designed with such realism and conviction, that it can actually scare the person to the core. They say that the blood that lies here and there looks real and so does the sudden jerky and scary movements of the actors. However, Michael Jubie, the owner of Headless Horseman says that it is a scary place, meant solely for adult entertainment and not recommended to the children.

The Headless Horseman ride is known as the No.1 hay ride in America, by American Airlines Magazine, and No.1 haunted attraction in the country, as named by Haunt World magazine. The tickets for this event will be available for $10, in Jazzman’s cafe from 7 to 9 p.m. on Oct 20.
