FEAR(feer)/n.: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil or pain. Whether the threat is real or imagined – the feeling or condition of being afraid. Although a rather loose interpretation, there are over nine different definitions of fear. However, the only fear you should concern yourself with this Halloween is your reaction to visiting Haunted Montrose and The Old Slaughter House. Fear lurks around every corner and it will find you.

Driving along a dark road with friends, you talk about the haunted houses you’ve visited. You’re certain you can’t be scared; you’re seasoned. Still, you’re in search of that adrenaline-rushing, heart-pounding, pulse-racing adventure, and so are your friends. You haven’t been to a haunted attraction as remote as Haunted Montrose, but you’re sure it’s going to be a treat. 

As you enter the parking area, you’re intrigued. An old house, a family cemetery, a dark cornfield. You don’t know it yet, but fear lives here. You step out of the car. You can almost smell it - fear. Your mind starts to wander. You feel a bit anxious; very soon, you will experience true fear. It’s supposed to be a haunted attraction but what if it’s real?
