The reporters called it the grisliest scene of the night. Up there on the third floor of the haunted house, next to fake bodies and blood made of food coloring and corn starch, was a real murder.
The house was an abandoned building that a play production company took over for Halloween. They brought in props, pyrotechnics, actors, and scripts. They charged fifteen dollars a head and it was the hit of the holiday. People came from all over to get the crap scared out of them.
Police said that someone was killed during one of the horror skits in one of the themed haunted rooms. They speculate that the man was stabbed to death during a particularly loud mock murder when several actors were screaming in the darkened room. The victim was placed in the corner. In the dark and amongst the fake corpses, it wasn't until the next day that the proprietors found the body and called police.
They were on TV asking the public for help identifying the killer. I know they are also still looking for the murder weapon, but I also know that it is located in a dumpster five miles from the haunted house blood-free and wiped clean.
