A house of horrors is in the making on Taupo Quay as the Whanganui Regional Museum prepares for its Halloween spooks and frights night on Tuesday.
The building at 49 Taupo Quay, next to the Whanganui City Bridge, is being transformed into a haunted trail designed to spook even the bravest of adventurers, events co-ordinator Rachael Garland said.
"Along the way participants will encounter rather spooky characters residing in rather scary places," Ms Garland said.
"Children can interact with them and trick or treat. A range of treats, including allergy friendly and non-food options, will be on offer for any people who are brave enough to ask.
"There are also other features such as UV lighting, tunnels, skeletons, spiders, dark corners and rather daunting doors to open. A highlight will be the Halloween photo booth right in the middle of the house of horrors where kids and adults can get their portraits taken."
