Adelphi University Hosts its Very Own Haunted House

Chapman Hall, one of the six residence halls on campus, and Adelphi's only "Green Hall," turned into a four-storied haunted house in honor of the upcoming celebration of Halloween.

Residents donned their bloodiest and spookiest attire in hopes of scaring students, friends and family members from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Monday, October 26. Guests who braved Chapman's annual "Haunted Halls" were able to vote on the "most frightening floor."

This year's victor, the second floor, also known as Chapman's "Green Floor," used scare tactics such as following closely behind and in front of guests and recreating scenes from Freddy Krueger in order to win. All four floors took advantage of strobe lights, music from The Exorcist and Halloween, and costume make-up to create a truly gruesome and unforgettable night.

Admission was free but guests had the option to donate to Mother's Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.), an organization devoted to educating others about drunk driving and to prevent underage drinking.

To read more coverage about this spooky event, be sure to pick up a copy of The Delphian, the campus' newspaper, on Thursday, Nov. 12.



Guests were warned to "Beware" for what Chapman Hall had in store for the night.
