Halloween is approaching in a month, and while many teens take this for advantage and get some free candy, there is plenty else to do on that special night.

One of Rolla High School’s very own teachers, Andrew Warner, puts on a haunted house each year to entertain and frighten the city of Saint Louis.

“My wife’s family puts it on every year. I normally just stand in a corner and shout at children as they walk by,” English teacher Andrew Warner said.

Like every other haunted house, Warner’s has many surprises you don’t see coming along with the standard scares.

“The house features a number of rooms, usually themed. In the past it’s been an asylum, a carnival, and even a classic haunted mansion,” Warner said.

As everyone has their favorite holiday of the year, Halloween seems to be an important one for Warner and his family.

“I naturally gravitate toward macabre imagery. Americans spend so much time denying death, it’s refreshing to have a celebration embracing,”  Warner said.

Warner encourages people to come try the haunted house on Halloween and promises a good scare.
