Haunted houses, club specials provide alternatives to trick-

Although this may come as a shock, trick-or-treating is somewhat out of the question these days for those who have passed their candy-collecting prime.

However, because many college students are not quite willing to accept this harsh, adult-like reality, the Wildcat has compiled a list of Tucson's Halloween events guaranteed to make even the most mature student feel like a kid again.

As if college students could not be any more deranged, the residents of Yuma Hall are hosting their annual Haunted Dungeon/Insane Asylum in the basement of their residence hall. Dungeon visitors can choose to pay their way into insanity with either $2 or two cans of food. Jen Iriye, a Yuma Hall resident and dungeon committee member, said all the food collected goes toward food bank and Ronald McDonald House collections. The dungeon will be open on Halloween from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Those looking for a good old-fashioned haunted house with the addition of several live performances should check out the 9th annual Nightfall at Old Tucson Studios. Otherwise known as the town of Nightfall, Arizona, Nightfall at Old Tucson Studios is home to the Goulliard Asylum for the Perpetually Insane and its equally demented leader Dr. Jebediah Hyde. Each Nightfall attraction relates in some way to the asylum and its maniacal doctor, including a live theatrical production at Goulliard Theater, a stunt show featuring Hyde and a tour of the Health Maintenance Office at Goulliard Asylum. Be sure not to miss the new "Haunted Krypt," featuring stunts and special effects, which is advertised as Nightfall's main attraction. Nightfall opens at 5 p.m. and runs through Halloween night.
