High-tech 'beautiful' horror awaits at Darkhill Cemetery

ROCHESTER - For the eighth year in a row, 16-year-old George Farrow III has constructed another top-notch haunted event in his parent's garage, located in Rochester. In the past years, Farrow has earned a reputation for scenics that rival the likes of Universal Studios and Disney World. This could be anything from a fog machine with custom theme-scented fog to an LED luminaire to a complex multi-motion pneumatic animatronic prop. Farrow is able to monitor the system on an iPad or iPhone while the attraction is in operation, allowing him to not be tied to the system completely. Live actors with custom costuming and makeup are also utilized effectively throughout the experience. At Darkhill Cemetery, Farrow and his team of volunteers have developed the concept of what they term "beautiful horror," where psychological fears illustrated in the scenes are utilized, rather than the cheap, cookie cutter scare tactics. The attraction has partnered with St. Charles Children's Home, and Make-A-Wish Foundation of NH in the past. Last year, they gave to a wonderful local charity called Amy's Treat. Amy's Treat works to enrich the lives of those living with cancer, as well as the family members of those here in the Seacoast. Amy's Treat will once again be the recipient of the fund generated by the haunted house this year. To learn more about Amy's Treat, visit http://amystreat.org They will be open from 6- 9:30 p.m. For more information on Darkhill Cemetery Haunted House, visit http://darkhillhaunt.com
