Residents from the greater Bucksport area volunteer to make the haunted house a success. Despite the cold and dreary weather of October, thousands of visitors from all around the state came to receive a fright at the fort this year. The event lasts for several weeks up until the weekend before Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would\u2019ve been scarier if I\u2019d understood all the Stephen King references, but I still thought it was pretty cool,\u201d junior Cassidy Gerrish said.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s theme was Stephen King.\u00a0 Each section of the fort had a theme from King\u2019s popular novels, including \u201cCujo,\u201d \u201cThe Shining\u201d and \u201cIt.\u201d\u00a0 All people waiting in line received a red balloon to carry with them through the haunted house. The red balloon is a reference to the novel \u201cIt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a lot of fun to go out and do something with friends for Halloween. I really enjoyed it,\u201d Lily Logiodice, also a junior, said.<\/p>\n<p>Fright at the Fort is an annual event and will come back next October with a new theme.
