LDN -- Top Stories

Deep in the bowels of a pitch-black maze, phosphoric chemicals bubble and brew in vials and tubes with an eerie glow. The walls are watching you and the mad scientist is busy at work. Will his insanity bring a new life form or revive an old, decaying corpse? Is he working on an experiment or simply biding his time until you arrive? If you dare, the Lincoln Jaycees Haunted House opens tonight. He hopes he will see you there.
