The Comox Valley鈥檚 premiere haunted house experience is returning to The LINC Youth Centre in Courtenay and will be more frightening than ever.

May luck be yours this Halloween as you veer off the road to stop at the Creepy Clown Motel. Will you be brave enough to spend the night?

The LINC Ghoul School Haunted House hours are Wednesday, Oct. 25 and Thursday, Oct. 26 from 6-8 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 28 from 6-9 p.m. On Halloween night, Monday, Oct. 31, bring younger kids and easily-frightened adults for Half the Fright Night from 5-7 p.m.

Admission is $2 per person or $5 per family.

The haunted house is planned and run by youth aged 8 - 18 in The LINC鈥檚 Ghoul School with support from staff. More than 15 local youth have been busy since September preparing for the event. They chose the theme, made the sets and props, and are preparing to play characters in the haunted house.

Alexis Forbes, youth services co-ordinator at The LINC, promises this event will be a great fright.

鈥淥ur ghouls have been working hard to provide a scary experience at the Clown Motel,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e have some very enthusiastic ghouls, including some that return year after year as well as some new faces, and they have been very creative in making a scary setting.鈥�

The Haunted House can be busy and sometimes has a line-up to enter. While you wait, enjoy The LINC and play ping pong, air hockey, dodgeball, and feast on Halloween treats. The youth appreciate your patience and hope their performance will be worth the wait!

The LINC is located at 300 Old Island Highway, near the Ryan Road intersection. For further information call The LINC 250-334-8138 or Lewis Centre 250-338-5371 or visit
