The 25th Hour terrorizes Denver in 2009

Time grows short in new haunt

Finding a new home can be a real pain. Especially when your belongings include cursed artifacts, booby-trapped furniture, an army of zombies and assorted severed limbs.

But in spite of what was no doubt a macabre moving experience, The 25th Hour haunted house has shambled its way to its new digs in Highlands Ranch just in time for Halloween. KathE Walker and the rest of the 25th Hour crew have been working well into the night to turn their new strip mall shop into a charnel house fit for its first victims by Oct. 1, but they took time out recently to give Metromix a terrifying tour. The haunt was still in the bare-bones stage, but it looked more than ready to live (or die) up to its sister attractions The Butcher, The 13th Door and The Curse of Slaughterhouse Gulch.
