Halloween on campus

A local organization is holding its first free haunted house in celebration of Halloween on Wednesday evening on campus.

The event, Haunt the Union, is coordinated by the campus organization Union Programming Board. It will be held in the Oklahoma Memorial Union on the University of Oklahoma campus from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

The haunted house is open to everyone and will take place in the Governors, Regents and Associates rooms located on the third floor of the Union.

Students will first meet at the Will Rogers Food Court as they wait in line and have different options such as play trivia, watch a scary movie, take pictures in the photo booth and eat free food.

The event is expected to be feature a variety of chilling surprises and dark thrills, according to UPB’s website.

“We want students to be unaware of what is to come,” said Alexandra Len, Haunt the Union director. “But it’s going to be pretty scary!”

The event was planned with the help of over 90 UPB members, along with the helpers for the day of the event. There are four core groups of staffers for Haunt the Union, such as design directors, Will Rogers directors, character development directors and promotion directors.

“This is UPB’s first year to ever have a haunted house, so don’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime experience of thrills and screams!” said Len.
