LAFAYETTE, Ind. — One last scream. One last scare. One final fright. Homestead Resources invites the community to experience Evil on Erie: The Final Fright on Friday and Saturday evenings this October. This is the final season of the award-winning, volunteer-powered haunted attraction that has become a Halloween tradition in Greater Lafayette. A talented team of volunteers transforms an old warehouse at 1240 Erie Street into Evil on Erie. “What visitors experience during a trip through the haunt is made possible by countless hours of volunteer creativity, planning, construction, coordination and rehearsal behind the scenes,” said Jim Slaven, lead volunteer of Evil on Erie and Homestead Resources board member. “We like to say this group scares because they care. We’ve loved supporting Homestead Resources.” The haunt has been part of Homestead Resources’ youth programming for years. The Haunt quickly morphed into a financial education program for youth rather than a fundraising event. “Teens have a place to go after school where they learn how to manage finances, build themed rooms and help design sets for Evil on Erie,” said Marie Morse, Executive Director of Homestead Resources. “The haunt has been a great partnership, and we’re excited to celebrate the volunteers who make it possible, especially this year for The Final Fright.” From set-building and makeup to terrifying characters and unexpected scares, this seasonal experience has made nearly 50,000 guests scream over the years. Homestead Resources invites the community to share its nostalgia and final fright in October at Evil on Erie: The Final Fright.
