Halloween / ‘Clown Cemetery’ creeps into Bothell

Interested in a horrifying experience that will truly freak your mind this Halloween season? Prepare yourself as circus freaks rise from the grave and impose their malicious intent on those brave enough to wander into the 3D “Clown Cemetery” in Bothell.

The 2009 season opens Oct. 14 and runs every Wednesday through Saturday for three consecutive weeks ending Halloween night. Doors open at 8 p.m. with final victims entering at 11 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends. Cost is $10 at the door with discount coupons for Wednesday and Thursday nights available for download at http://www.clowncemetery.com. R.I.P. (or V.I.P.) tickets will get folks to the head of the line and can also be obtained online for $15. “Clown Cemetery” is located at Jump Planet, 22310 20th Ave S.E., Suite 200, Bothell.

“Clown Cemetery” is a haunted house presented by Haunted Night, a newcomer to professional haunting, in cooperation with Jump Planet — an inflatable party center.

Volunteers are needed for the Scream Team in positions including acting, box office, security and makeup and effects. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Autism Service Dogs of America. To learn more about getting involved, visit clowncemetery.com and click on Volunteers.

Due to a rather intense scare factor, it is recommended that only the bravest souls ages 10 and up enter the “Clown Cemetery,” although all-ages access is permitted when accompanied by an adult. Visit http://www.jumpplanet.com for ages and session times.
