Scariest Place in Brookings

Making a haunted house is not an easy task. Preparation starts weeks in advance. John Seward of Downtown Brookings knows this and has started recruiting hellions so that his “Insane Circus” will keep you up late at night.

So where does Seward go to when he needs the scariest ideas? Middle-schoolers of course. With enough ideas to make up ten haunted houses these kids will be scaring people three times their age.

A little help from South Dakota State fraternity S-A-E, and some high school kids to do some of the heavy work; this is a recipe for terror.

Downtown Brookings is a non-profit organization so volunteer help is vital for making this nightmare become a reality. All of the proceeds that the haunted circus will make will go back into Downtown Brookings in the hope to promote more activities for all ages.

About this Project
This project turned out to be one of my better stories. My interview could not have gone better, he was animated and really want to tell me everything, which makes my job a lot easier. I thought my script went along with the story, and I got to have a little fun writing it.
