"We just try to make this a nice, fun, Memphis family event to come out for Halloween season, said Blossman.
The haunted house has on-site security in every section as well as outside, just in case someone cannot complete the haunt. "If anyone becomes too scared, or they fall, we have security ready to get them out the haunted house, and have medical professionals outside, that are gonna be available to help you with whatever goes on," said Blossman.
