PAUL DAMPIER AND seven of his senior classmates (T.J. Bozada, Julian Hartman, Sam Imlay, Grant Loos, Jacob Olshansky, Jake Seeley, Amy Wiltzius) are spending Halloween night transforming the respectable Dampier suburban lawn into a grisly site of horror.

Dampier has staged a Halloween frightfest every year since he was a subbie, and this one promises to be the best yet.

Shivani Khanna narrates the twisted story behind this ghoulish tradition in our latest audio slideshow. For more, check out A haunted affair: These seniors have some fiendish plans for Halloween, by Khanna and Andrea Park.
