The nightmare is over – for now.
After 11 years of running one of the top haunted house events in the region, operators of the Nightmare on Daly Street event in Palmerston are taking a break.
“Unfortunately Nightmare on Daly St. will not open this year. We are going to take a year off and hopefully be bigger and better next year,” states a post on the event’s Facebook page. “We loved all the support from our loyal fans and sponsors over the last 11 years and hope to see every one of you in 2015!”
The haunted house, a 2,728 -square-foot walk through the dark filled with scary live actors, special effects and monsters, was conceived as a fundraiser for Palmerston’s Frank Lambier Legion. It was held at the branch each fall prior to Halloween.
A crew of dedicated volunteers headed by Tammy Donaldsan made sure the haunt included new attractions each year.
