Monster Bash Inc will post announcements and information important to students, parents and volunteers on this page. Please return here regularly to check for new information.

1. Tear down (haunt reset) initial work will be 11/8 from 8am to 2pm. If needed we will have a second day (likely 11/15). We need to get the decorations stored and walls down and props stored in the new addition moved to the main building so electrical work can be done in the new addition.

2. Celebrate! On August 1, 2025 the Minnesota Haunted Houses website posted their Best Haunt in Minnesota award for the 2024 season, and for our 7th consecutive Haunt, Monster Bash (MB#13: The Master's Mansion) was #1! These awards are all because of how great all of our students, parents and volunteers are! All your efforts help to make the Haunts better and better, and have gotten the word out that Monster Bash Haunted Houses are scary fun and worth the trip to Harmony, which bring in the great crowds of people, which ultimately supports Music, Theater and the Arts! 

3. More Fire! Fandazzi Fire had great performances for us and Halloween fans on Saturday, October 25 (2025) on what turned out to be a perfect autumn night. You can see pictures and video of them on the Monster Bash 12: The Master's Mansion's Media page, some new pics and video will be coming soon on the website!

4. We are still looking to set the theme for Monster Bash #14, for October 2026! Let us know your thoughts! Even better, come up with a general plan for how the Haunted House might flow! What scares might be where! Decorations to use! We want to know your spooky scare plans!

5. Congratulations to Jackie Whitacre for being named Minnesota's Theater Teacher of the Year! See the video from KTTC-TV on the Where's Alice? Media Page!

6. Congratulations to the Fall Sports teams and individuals! The Lanesboro/Fillmore Central Cross Country team's Autum Rakosnik was the Section 1-A Girls' individual champion! The FC Volleyball Team (Section champions last year) earned the #1 seed for the Section 1A Playoffs (as well as a #4 State Ranking in Class A), and the football team, also ranked at the State level in Class A at #3, is the #1 seed in their Section 1A playoffs and are in the Section Championship for the 5th consecutive year! Many of those student athletes are among the Haunted House volunteers and look forward to scaring our poor guests!

7. There will be an upcoming Haunted House comittee meeting - usually in early December - to help decide on the theme for 2026, and hopefully also a theme for 2027 as well!
