AUBURN - What's scarier than an abandoned warehouse?
An abandoned warehouse filled with 30 people prepared to frighten your pants off.
The Haunted Warehouse of Horrors on Columbus Street will haunt the 25,000-square-foot space every weekend in October. Many members of the warehouse crew were scaring people silly at this time last year in the Fingerlakes Mall's Spooktacular Haunted House.
“Everything was so small, you were in and out in 10 minutes,” said organizer Tony Tardibone. “You won't get out of this one in 10 minutes.”
The trip, which Tardibone estimates to take upwards of half an hour to complete, includes a scene inspired by “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” black light skull murals and a haunted school bus.
The haunted house crew has been hard at work for weeks designing the warehouse path with their instruments of fright. Smoke effects and strobe lights will intensify the atmosphere, and the warehouse acoustics will amplify the screams of both the haunters and the haunted.
A tent in the warehouse parking lot will provide cider and doughnuts to guests prior to their terrifying trip.
Tardibone hopes this year marks the first of many hauntings of the warehouse come Halloween time. As his crew expands into more areas of the abandoned building, the scares are sure to multiply.

I read these comments and I had to create an account to shut these people up.
I went last year, And i'm going sometime this weekend, And a lot of my friends work there. I thought it was scary as hell last year. I'm only 15, Which is probably why, But my bestfriends work there, And I think that it's a good haunted house.
GO THEREEE.
It's really fun. "
