Meet the new resident of The Terrortorium By Kelsey Butler T he Terrortorium Haunted House and Amusements has become a landmark in quaint downtown Oxford. For most of the year, the building is overlooked, tucked away at 25 West Choccolocco Street off Main. During the weeks leading up to Halloween, local towns folk flock to The Terrortorium seeking a thrill. The Terrortorium is open October 4-6, 11-13, 18-20, and 25-31 between the hours of 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on weekdays and 7:00 pm and 12:00 am on weekends. 12 On Monday, October 1, 2018, I went to The Terrortorium around 9:00 pm for an interview. The business wasn’t open, but I walked inside. I found myself lost in the winding hallways of The Terrortorium. It was dark. The hallways were narrow. I was alone… or so I thought. As I felt my way through the blackness I found a doorway. Inside, I found someone waiting. Waiting for me. ✽ October 2018 INSIGHT
