Video: Nightmare Factory seems a success on opening night | statesmanjournal.com | Statesman Journal

The huddled groups of people have made it through the Nightmare Factory at Oregon School for the Deaf.

How was it?

“We all turned into big babies,” said Karlie Danielson, 13, of Corvallis. “I couldn’t breath I got so scared.”

Most seemed pleased with the work done on the haunted house after a recent visit from the ABC reality TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

“You went through parts of it and you couldn’t tell who was alive and who wasn’t,” said Kathy Whittam of Keizer.

The “EMHE” crew added several animatronic elements to the haunted house, which also still incorporates as many as 30 costumed volunteers.

Hundreds of people waited in line for the grand opening at 7 p.m. Ed Roberts, a dorm counselor at OSD, said he hoped thousands would show up tonight for the public debut.

If you look easy to scare and go through the Nightmare Factory, Miles Barbee's got his sights set on freaking you out.

Barbee said he expects this year’s haunted house to be much scarier thanks to a recent visit from "EMHE."

And though some of the animatronics may be somewhat stationary, the volunteer zombies are not.

“If you’re the one cowering behind someone, that’s who we go for,” said volunteer Zach Pelley, a Blanchet Catholic School student.

Beginning at 4:30 p.m., dorm counselor and head honcho of the haunted house Ed Roberts began organizing a cast of volunteers and their makeup.

Hillary Flores, of Salem, volunteered and had a silicone prosthetic attached to her face as part of her costume, which is a secret.

"It's going to be painful to take off," she said with a laugh.
