Annual event offers ‘low’ and ‘high’ scare tour options for kids
Helena Guest, 12, points an electronic wand to turn on LED lit candles that appear to float by moving up and down as she, from left, Tam Guest, 10, Kaylee Wilson, 11, Chloe Han, 12, and other members of Scout Troop 2000 work on decorating the historic Germania Hotel in Olivenhain for the upcoming 24th annual Boy Scout Troop 2000 Haunted Hotel in Encinitas on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
That can have its challenges. The teens definitely prefer more blood and guts to their scares, but they are toning things down significantly this year to better meet the needs of their guests, who primarily are elementary school-aged children keen for a “low scare” or “no scare” tour. Instead of chainsaw man, this year’s focus is on cackling witches making potions; mad scientists experimenting with electricity; and undead zombies partying at a banquet table. The tour begins with a dimly lit room where a small child huddles in a bed hoping that the huge spider legs poking out from around the edge of the closet door aren’t real.
The Zombie Room set up in the historic Germania Hotel in Olivenhain for the upcoming 24th annual Boy Scout Troop 2000 Haunted Hotel in Encinitas on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024. When 12-year-old Scout member Jocelyn Burkland’s dad worked on the very first Scout Troop 2000’s Haunted Hotel event two dozen years ago, he had to remove actual bats infesting the building, tear out rotting floorboards and make repairs before he and his fellow Scouts could start decorating, his daughter said.
