Johnson Pride Staff Writer On Sept. 29, Professor Mark Wallace read from his book, "The Quarry and the Lot," as the first event of CSUSM's fall 2011 Community and World Literary Series. In a nearly full classroom auditorium, Wallace, an associate professor of Literature and Writing Studies at CSUSM, gave students, faculty and the general public an opportunity to experience a literary reading from the author himself. The event provided the audience with a hybrid presentation that was both personal and professional. A brief introduction, presented by Professor Sandra Doller, explained Wallace received the 2002 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award and authored more than 15 books and chapbooks of poetry, fiction and essays. Also, other countries translated Wallace's writings into several other languages. Following the introduction, Wallace read several short poems from his collection titled "Belief is Impossible." Wallace's poetry proposed ideas and questions that gave the audience something to consider. These considerations came from lines about art, poetry and thought-provoking questions directed at the audience. Wallace then read from "The Quarry and the Lot," published earlier this year. The plot of the ; Brianna Cruz & Ashley Day Pride Staff Writers K imber Q u i n n e y novel follows a group of friends who reunite following the death of a childhood friend. Wallace wrote the novel using four voices that alternate between the past and the present. Wallace forewarned the audience he would not be doing voices for his character, with laughter ensuing from the audience. He then advised that when doing a reading, one should not do voices. A narration about childhood experiences, including a reckless bicycle stunt, first introduced the audience to the character Nick. After reading about Nick, Wallace then read several more poems before returning to "The Quarry and the Lot," introducing the audience to another character, Amelia, and her love for the deceased friend, Joseph. Wallace's voice embodied Amelia as she spoke of Joseph romantically and admiringly, seeing him as not just another one of the boys, but as something deeper. From Amelia's perspective, the audience understood Joseph as a tragic, angst- ridden youth trying to escape bleak suburbia. An opportunity for audience members to ask Wallace any questions followed the reading. These questions ranged from different topics including his book, writing style and writing process. Many students voiced what they thought of Wallace's published work. "I had read ["The Quarry and the Lot"] before, so it wjas interesting to see his perspective on the different characters," Liberal Studies major Kelsey Carmichael said. For those who are unfamiliar with a guest speaker's work, the Community and World Literary Series offers audience members a free, intimate experience to listen to and interact with writers as they share their work and give insight into their writing process. The series' next"reading will present Tisa Bryant and Amina Cain on Oct. 27 at CSUSM.

According to the Susan G. Komen website, in 2011, there will be 230,480 new cases of breast cancer in the United States. Donating money to the American Cancer Society helps conduct more research to help find a cure and save millions of lives. This month, CSUSM's Associated Student Inc. (ASI) will hold their annual "Fight for the Cure" in the Library Plaza during UHour on Thursday, Oct. 13. At the event, school organizations such as the Campus Activities Board (CAB), • Health and Wellness center, Women's Center and The Clarke plan to have information tables. "I don't think [students] realize the importance of getting tested as women," Alicia Perry from ASI said. Breast cancer is most common in women, but men can be involved in raising money. In previous years, ASI attempted to put together a Powder Puff game where students pay to play the game and the proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. "We would have an issue trying" to get people to sign up because they wanted their free time to do something else," Perry said. "Our goal is to raise funds for research and to get as many people involved." This year, ASI is trying a new approach to raise money. ASI is getting the men on campus involved in a fun and interesting way called "Hotties in Heels." The event entails a group of young male volunteers dressing up in drag. Participants accept cash and checks payable to American Cancer Society on behalf of breast cancer awareness. If you see a cross dresser walking around campus, be sure to take a picture with him and your friends and give him a tip for dressing up for a great cause. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" will hold an event in Balboa Park, San Diego, Sunday, Oct. 16. It consists of a three to five mile walk. If students are interested, attend "Fight for the Cure" and visit the CAB table to sign-up and learn more information regarding organizing or joining a team. For people who live in Temecula, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire will hold their "Race for the Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 16. The event is located in the Macy's parking lot in the Promenade Mall. Hundreds of local vendors will give away free merchandise and sponsor activities for participants. Last Sunday, Oct. 9, "Barbells for Boobs" took place at CrossFit San Elijo to fundraise for "Mammograms for Action." Zionna Mnouz founded the foundation. Mnouz went to get a mammogram in 2009, but was denied the test because she was twenty-six-years-old. Six months later, Mnouz noticed a lump in her breast had grown larger. She mammograms.

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Carlsbad provides enough variety to satisfy any palette. BJ's motto, "Discover why it's always Happy Hour at BJ's," proved to be valid not only for its tasty treats, like the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, but also for their award-winning beers. BJ's is more refined than your average dive bar and their menu supports the ambience with a wide variety of items from giant stuffed potatoes to gourmet burgers, pizza and fish and chips. The most creative thing to do is to build your own deep dish pizza using ingredients including bacon, artichokes, jalapeños and sweet corn. Match that unique pizza with a specialty beer ($3.95 during happy hour), most notably the Piranha Pale Ale, BJ's Jeremiah Red and the gold medalist Belgian style wheat beer, to create a meal all your own. BJ's supports craft beer brewing and bjsbrewhouse.com runs a "Brewer Blog." After you've filled up on tasty beer and pizza, direct your eyes to the must try "Pizookie" dessert: your choice of a baked cookie covered with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The happy hour deals offer $1 off specialty cocktails, $2 off appetizers and certain nights have specials like half off all wine on Tuesday nights or $5 Mojito Mondays. BJ's happy hour runs from 3 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday and 7 - close Sunday - Thursday. BJ's atmosphere is reminiscent of downtown San Diego, with an indoor and outdoor area, invitingly dim light, <>pen space, an expansive bar, stylish decoration and friendly service. It is part of the attractive dining and shopping scene near the Carlsbad Flower Fields, which seems geared toward San Diego tourists but still provides a fun night out for locals looking to hit up the scene of Carlsbad. BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is located on Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad and is open 11 a.m. midnight Monday - Thursday, 11 — 1 a.m. Friday, 10 - 1 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - midnight Sunday. Inventive professor challenges traditions in entrepreneurial class Pride Staff Writer If you enroll in the College of Business Administration's new Entrepreneurship 320 class, don't expect a lot of traditional coursework from professor Scott Landow. He's teaching his students to become dreamers. The first-time professor at Cal State San Marcos doesn't have a syllabus and his unorthodox grading criteria includes awarding points to students who effectively challenge his ideas, regardless of whether they're right or wrong! Landow says he pushes his student to ask "why not?" because out-of-the-box thinking is the hallmark of all successful entrepreneurs. He should know. Landow is the co-founder and CEO of Solana Beach-based Bridgetech Holdings International, an environment and renewables investment firm. Before that, he was chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Bond Laboratories, where he oversaw the development of new consumer products such as Fusion Premium Energy Gum and the hangover prevention drink Resurrection. Landow said all successful entrepreneurs have four characteristic traits: "(The) ability to listen, ability to feel, ability to envision or see what's not there yet and the ability to sell." To teach his students these traits, Landow's first project this semestèr was to have them form teams to create lemonade stands, the foundation for all young entrepreneurs. In his loose but engaging lecture style, Landow talked to his students about how to name their drink stands. "Understand a lemon," he said. "The first priority to naming a product or business is like naming your first child." And when telling students how to choose partners for their stands, he said, "Go toward people that express the unexpected, not those that give predictable answers you prefer to hear." Students in Entrepreneurship 320 say they appreciate Landow's enthusiasm and the unconventional nature of the class. By the end of the semester, each student will be expected to develop a marketable product or service. While owning a successful business is the goal of most students in the college's Entrepreneurship Track, getting rich isn't necessarily a goal Landow espouses. He said he encourages charitable giving as a way for business owners to expand their sales and do good in the world; "The system doesn't work unless you give back," he said. "Don't overlook the need to give back. You can make better contacts through charity than through business. How thrilling is it to do something for someone else?

Blaine H. Mogi! Pride Staff Writer In 1960, the California State Department of Education drafted a 230-page., 15-year master plan for the University of California, California State College (later CSU) and community college systems with the goal of saving the state's higher education system from "destruction by unbridled competition." At the time, those heady words referred to the competition between the three upper education systems. But with today's tuition costs rising rapidly at the UC and CSU campuses, the Department of Education should be more concerned about competition from colleges outside the state-supported systems than any internal threat. At a meeting of the UC Regents, Sept. 13-15, in San Francisco, a budget proposed by UC leaders would raise tuition fees by 8 percent to 16 percent for each of the next four years. If this budget is approved, annual tuition for UC students could soar north of $22,000 by fall 2015. With continued annual hikes, students entering the system that year could expect the cost of their diploma to exceed 7.

There isn't an economist alive B eyond t he t extbook M aking t he m ost of y our college y ears Students: let's put on our existential hats for a moment and ask ourselves the big question: why are we here (and by "here," I mean college)? Why are you— one specimen in the several billion carbon-based bits of humanity—on this path of higher education? Don't spout out some canned response about the terrible economy and having "no other choice" but to attend school. The fact is that you are here for you. The sad part about attending college at Cal State San Marcos is the perception of a "commuter campus:" one where every student goes to class, goes home and gets on with his or her life. The next time you're rushing to beat the traffic out of the Markstein parking lot, take a moment and remember that the "college experience" offers more than just a degree with your name on it.

This is a time to discover yourself—your beliefs, your opinions, what makes you happy. This is a time to make connections to friends, professors, and the community to build a network that will carry you into a career or other post-academic goal. We are all hurrying to "get out" on time, but sometimes we just need to take a breath and appreciate what a college campus can offer. So stick around a while after class, if you can spare the time. Get involved. Do something that will feed your soul. Join a club, a team or a group. Nurture a talent arid surprise yourself. Wander into the Cross-Cultural Center, the Women's Center, the LGBTQA Center or the Veteran's Center. Talk to the people who hang out there. Make a friend. Discuss what's going on in your life or in the world. Celebrate our Contributor different opinions, but stay true to yourself. Your professors have office hours for a reason. Don't hesitate to stop in and say hello. They are professionals with advanced degrees, and thiey can help you with questions or concerns you have about your major, graduate school or future career. Talk to them about their own academic journeys; they have years of experience as both students and educators. Building relationships with your professors will come in handy when you require letters of recommendation or are searching for jobs in your field. College is so much more than your class schedule. Don't shy away from the heart of campus. Dig in and find your niche. Branch out and network with people. You came here to learn, so learn more than just academics. Learn about you and experience college your way. who wouldn't make a 16-to-l return on investment a top priority in any budget decision. Unfortunately, politicians make the state budget, not economists. Fallis said the Chancellor's office has little, if any, political capital to lobby the state for money because it's required by its charter to remain neutral. Although thè office sympathizes with students who are overburdened by tuition costs, the most it can do is make budget recommendations and hope for the best. * 4.

A little more p arking for a "little" more money Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer If you are a student at CSUSM, you're probably a commuter. Therefore, you understand what it's like paying for parking passes. If you live on campus and own a vehicle, I 'm sure you understand what it feels like to pay for a parking pass (as well as overpriced rent and groceries), so it would be nice to have a parking spot close to the dorms. Yet you still find yourself racing through the dorms trying to beat someone to the only available parking spot. This year, CSUSM welcomed its new and returning students to use the new parking structure; that addition has definitely made an impact for those who may háve to walk back and forth to campus and their car. Now that I am a commuter, the parking garage is as full as I 've ever seen. I typically arrive to school around 9 a.m., and by then, floors one through three are completely packed, four is mainly empty and the congestion begins again on floors five and six. I am greatful for the structure but I will admit, driving to the sixth floor can be such a bother. I interviewed student Cynthia Pérez and she shared her thoughts on the new structure. I wholeheartedly agreed with Perez when she said, "[The parking structure] is pretty good because it is great to have such an easy access to parking as opposed to having to struggle to find some when you're rushing to class." As someone who is late almost every single day, I believe the new parking structure is a blessing—that is, if you're able to find parking. Though the new structure is both convenient and accessible, being a student and paying the prices to park in such a convenient structure has its downfalls. Perez continued,"The prices are incredibly hurtful to anyone's wallet. It seems like a huge convenience fee." This year, an academic year parking pass which is valuable for both fall 2011 and spring 2012 costs $643 (currently sold out). If you want to buy your pass for each semester, they are $338 separately. If you wanted to save a little cash for each semester, you could always chose to pay for the X, Y, and Z parking pass for the semester which will only run you $254. If you really want to save ~ some dough and you are commuting on a motorcycle, congratulations. Your parking pass will only run you $70 per semester. If you decide that it would be easier to buy daily passes, the rates are $9 for all day, $7 for five hours, $6 for 3 hours and $3 for one hour. Let's face it; who has this kind of money laying around?

Since then, the set has shattered Blu-ray sales records. According to MSNBC.com; Star Wars: The Complete Saga has earned over $84 million worldwide in one week on Blu-ray. Though sales are strong, the set is polarizing fans over the constant changes made with every release of the "Star Wars" movies. Some of the changes in this release include new dialogue added to the final Darth Vader scene in "Return of the Jedi," computer-generated eyelids added to the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" and new dialogue added to Obi-Wan in "A New Hope." Perhaps some welcome the changes and regard them as a new feature to enhance the experience. However, I cannot speak for this group of people. I belong to the vast majority of fans who love and enjoy the theatrical releases of the films. The average customer review for "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is currently 2.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com. Skimming through over one thousand "onestar" reviews, the general consensus of the fans appears to be an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the alterations of the films. Like many fans before me, I am no stranger to the Star Wars editing controversy. Since the days of "Han shot first," fans have slowly lost faith in their beloved saga. What disappoints me most is the unfortunate reality that we as fans have no voice in the future of "Star Wars." How many years must we wait until Lucas will provide us with theatrical cuts in high definition? As a die-hard fan, I don't want to have a new, updated experience with my favorite sci-fi saga every five years. I want to remember the series for what it was, not what it has become. There is no doubt that I would purchase "Star Wars: The Complete Saga" had the set come with both the theatrical cuts and the 2011 Blu-ray edits. Though the set would cost more, I would pay (almost) any price to see the original classic films restored to visual perfection. While the Blu-ray releases may have a wealth of bonus features and documentaries, I will not purchase the set due to all the changes. Many of us fans will continue to wait for the theatrical cuts, however long they may take. If growing up with "Star Wars" taught us anything, there will always be a new hope... for a little fan service. I am not ashamed to say that I love TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras" even though People Magazine and CNN say I should be. Here in California, child beauty pageants are few and far between. But in the southern U.S., pageants take over hotel conference rooms nearly every weekend showcasing children as young as three months. Many publications recently printed less than comprehensive coverage of the hit show after a 3-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts's character in the movie "Pretty Woman." You'd be correct in recalling that Roberts's character is a prostitute. Similar costuming includes a 4-year-old dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with disproportionate chest enhancement) and a 2-year-old dressed as Madonna. I will concede to the argument that beauty pageants for children are not age appropriate in any sense. Considering that the infant categories in many beauty pageants require nothing more than a $2,000 dress and a doting parent to parade the often drooling, crying or sleeping, baby across a stage, there is little support for the case that the parent is doing the pageant because the child wants to. This is the cardinal problem with children in beauty pageants: crazy, scary moms want to be on stage, so they live vicariously through their daughters (and sometimes sons). Actually, apart from the whole age appropriateness ordeal (and the obscene amounts of money people spend),.that's pretty much the only real issue with beauty pageants. When a kid lacks his or her own . agency to decide to go onstage, then you've got a problem. However, MaKenzie Myers of Montgomery, LA has more gumption than most politicians do when it's time comes to grace the pageant stage (YouTube her and you'll see what I mean). With catch phrases that include " I'm not doing what you tell me," "Well, where's my drink?" and "Put me down so I can go get back in line," I 'm surprised TLC hasn't tried to capitalize on some line of MaKenzie dolls spouting any number of her hilarious lines. I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say this ball of energy is just a bratty little girl with a lenient mother. And, I guess, you could say this promotes bad behavior, poor self image development, etcetera, etcetera. However, the portrayal of these children is meant to shock viewers and leave them, mouths agape, waiting for the next week's installment. I feel I should also mention that TLC has hired the best TV editing team that ever existed; they truly make the show far more entertaining than it should be. Shame on CNN for trying to make me feel bad. Sure, I wouldn't recommend the many CSUSM students with young children to watch "Toddlers & Tiaras" to brush up on their parenting skills. However, just entertainment. CNN: pick on somebody your own size.

For those who have yet to become addicted to "The Office," the scripted but much improvised show highlighted the many talents of actors such as Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. The return of the sitcom beginning their eighth season Thursday, Sept. 22 gave us the hope that the show can be equally as controversial and delightful with the absence of Michael Scott. It wasn't easy knowing that Michael Scott would no longer walk into the Dunder Mifflin-Sabre Scranton branch, but the season opened with a hilarious story line: planking . While some in the office awkwardly planked in inappropriate places (some expected, as Meredith was caught planking under the urinals in the men's restroom), we braced ourselves for the surprise of new management. We learn in the beginning of the opening episode that Robert California (James Spader) talked Jo (Kathy Bates), the CEO of Dunder Mifflin out of her very own job but returned to work out of the meeting room. Pam (Jenna Fischer) was especially sensitive due to the fact that she and husband, Jim (John Krasinski) are expecting their second child, a son, as well as Angela (Angela) expecting her first child with her husband, the senator (whom we were led to believe was gay). The biggest surprise of the new season was finding out that Andrew Bernard (Ed Helms) was named branch manager by Robert. Regardless if anyone agrees whether he can successfully run a branch, we can all agree that he truly cares about the office and his heart is in the right place. Personally, I was confused why he would be named manager, since I figured the producers were planning to go in a different direction as far as personality. We both know that Michael Scott and Andy Bernard are both known to cause mishap around the office. Last week's episode was one that would bring a smile to anyone's face—fan or not. As Andy handled the "manager expectations" nervously, not wanting to upset anyone or coming off as' too strict but also wanting work to get done, he and very disinterested Darryl tried to hire a new team of warehouse workers to take oyer since the old ones quit after winning the lottery. Since Phyllis has a very important order to be filled by that night, Erin, Jim, Dwight and Kevin tried desperately to figure out how to load the reams of paper into the delivery truck through trial and error, though many ended in error. However, they finally ended with the process they named "Senor Loadenstein" because it was "muy rapido." The buzz around the office consisted of the question "what would you do if you won the lottery?" As always, Jim and Pam (affectionately known as PB&J) stole our hearts with an argument of how they would spend their "fantasy" life after winning the lottery. Andy surprised us all when he took charge in getting Darryl back into the mood of actually working. Though I am accustomed to the mayhem Michael Scott always seems to find himself in, I am excited for the future of "The Office" and Dunder Mifflin-Sabre and I am curious to see how Andy will hopefully prove my expectation of failing wrong. If you weren't able to catch it, you can always watch it the day after airing on http://wwwiiulu.com. "The Office" airs on NBC every Thursday at 9 p.m. The third season of "Glee" premiered Tuesday, Sept. 20. It introduced a new array of songs a nd displayed the casts' many skills in classic rock anthems, musical numbers a nd even hip-hop a nd pop arrangements. The new season featured songs such as "We Got the Beat" originally by The Go-Go's a nd "You C an't Stop the Beat" from the Broadway musical "Hairspray." In honor of the new season, I have created my own playlist of the top "Glee" songs performed in previous seasons. I'll spare the readers by not mentioning the cast's Journey cover, "Don't Stop Believing." In the first season, Kristen Chenoweth's character April Rhodes performed the song "Maybe This Time" alongside William McKinley's Rachel Berry, played by L ea Michele. t he song is from the musical "Cabaret," I do not follow musicals, but really enjoyed this song a nd Broadway Star C henoweth was impeccable in her v ocal range. Characters Puck (Mark Sailing) a nd Quinn (Diana Agron) realized they were going to have a baby, but couldn't choose her name. Puck sang "Beth" originally by '80s b and KISS. The heart-warming ballad was touching, especially for a character with such e dge. The background vocalists offered support physically a nd musically. Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, performed the final song of season one, "Over the Rainbow" with Puck playing the ukulele beside him. This song was the perfect ending for season one because it is such a classic, put a tear in my eyes a nd kept the audience on the e dge of our seats for season two. Season two's Britney Spears themed episode skyrocketed "dumb blonde" cheerleader, Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) to a viewer beloved character. Brittany exposed her amazing dancing talents. The song she sung a nd d anced to, "I'm a Slave 4 U" a nd other popular Britney hits, shocked the audience a nd made Brittany an instant favorite member of the "Glee" cast. Season two also introduced viewers to the character Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) created a buzz around "Glee's" William McKinley High a nd for Gleeks everywhere. Saying goodbye to boyfriend Kurt (Chris Colfer), Blaine a nd competitor glee club, the Warblers, performed the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. This song melted viewer's hearts because it musically intensified the love between Blaine a nd Kurt. &NOW Literary Festival c omes to San Diego different panels, performances professors who will also act as and installations over the course panelists.

Johnson Pride Staff Writer It should come as no surprise that Benjamin Mee's appropriately-titled memoir "We Bought a Zoo" is about a family who, well, buys a zoo. In his novel, Mee documents his experiences during the restoration of his zoo leading up until the opening day. In the midst of this overwhelming yet exciting process, tragedy strikes when Mee's wife dies. Instead of putting life and the zoo on hold, Mee uses the onset of opening day as a productive distraction from his loss. Mee's accounts of this time in his life are heartwarming and sweet and, at times, devastating. The balance between moments of tragedy and frustration are carefully balanced with humorous or even tense interactions between the humans and the animals. However, Mee's storytelling is sometimes difficult to progress through due to the minimal dialogue in the. text. His story often feels as if you are listening to someone recount a series of incidents while often withholding any conversations that may have taken place during the events. With the story being told from Mee's point of view, his illustration of himself is wonderfully humbling.

Haunted Trail, Haunted Hotel and The Scream Zone are three of San Diego's well-known places that are sure to make your blood run cold. These events are annual running from as early as late September all the way until Halloween night. San Diego's Haunted Trail has guests take an eerie nighttime trail trek with shocking surprises awaiting daring visitors. Trail officials emphasize that the trail is not for children under 10, and they do not recommended it for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems due to the use of strobe lights and intense scares. The Haunted Trail opened back in September, and will remain open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 19 - 31. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the trail is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the trail is open from 6:30 -11:45 p.m. and this time will also apply on Halloween night. General admission prices are $15 on Sundays through Thursdays and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. The Haunted Hotel is the San Diego Halloween haunted house attraction that has been around the longest and therefore has built notoriety. The attraction takes its guests down a "Hellevator" below the hotel and into terrifying themed rooms with zombies, ghouls and even Freddy Krueger himself. This attraction is open Oct. 12 - 16 and Oct. 1 9 - 3 1 . On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the hotel is open from 7 - 1 1 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the times are 6 p.m. - 1 a.m. and on Halloween night the hotel is open from 6 p.m. - midnight. Due to special effects and scares, the Haunted Hotel is not recommended for those who are prone to seizures or have heart problems. For more information such as an in-depth FAQ of the three San Diego Halloween attractions and various ticket price options, see www.hauntedhotel. coin (from this site there are links redirecting to the specific pages for the Haunted Trails, Haunted Hotel and Scream Zone). The Scream Zone, held at the Del Mar Scaregrounds, opened on Sept. 30 and will remain open to guests eager for scares Oct. 13 - 16 Thursdays through Sundays and Oct. 2 0 - 3 1 each night. The Scream Zone times are Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m. - midnight and 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. on the other opening days. The. three attractions are the Haunted Hayride, The House of Horror and The Chamber. The Haunted Hayride takes guests on a haywagon ride beyond the Del Mar Race Track and up close and personal with various ghouls and creatures. The House of Horror has visitors venturing through a house with themed rooms and a terrifying twist ending (this attraction is not recommended for children under 10).
