The University of Guam’s Biological Sciences Club is hosting its 12^th annual haunted house at the UOG Science Building on Saturday Oct. 24, from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and Sunday Oct. 25, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

This year’s theme is “American Horror Story,” the renowned FX television series. The series included five different seasons: “Murder House,” “Asylum,” “Coven,” “Freak show,” and “Hotel.”

“We are trying our hardest to incorporate the same level of gore and questionable characters from each of the seasons into our haunted house to provide a variety of thrills that our participants will never forget,” said Enrika Espiritu, public relations officer for the club.

The haunted house is usually located the UOG Science Building. This time, it will include several rooms on two floors and guests will be led through dark hallways.

The Biology Club first started this Halloween tradition since Fall 2004. This haunted house continues to bring in many curious guests from all over the island.

The Biology Club is the main student organization that hosts the haunted house. Volunteers come from the club itself. This year there will be more volunteers from the other clubs such as, the Chemistry, IFC, and SCIO. It takes about five weeks to prepare for the event. Volunteers help with ticket sales, advertising, and set-up.

“Our volunteers work really hard to make every second memorable for our participants, from the first hour of set up Friday afternoon to the last hour of breakdown Sunday evening. We do a good job of ‘hiding the evidence’ as though no blood was spilt and no screams occurred come Monday morning.” Espiritu adds.

Pre-sold tickets cost $3 and tickets bought at the door cost $5.

On Aug. 20, reggae pop fusion band, MAGIC! performed to a jam-packed event at the Leo Palace Resort Belvedere Hotel ballroom.

“Planning took two months, unfortunately, with the storm prior to the concert the venue had to be relocated,” said Tiffany Tam McCarroll, the media director at Tropical Productions Inc.

Because the venue was in a smaller setting, McCarroll said it gave the audience a close and intimate proximity.

“We want concert-goers to have a safe and enjoyable setting, closer to the stars,” added McCarroll.

With the change of venue, the ticket sales sold out fast.

Christopher Lizama, a former University of Guam student attended the concert. With a sold out concert and a smaller venue, Lizama said the concert was crowded.

“Over on social media, people were upset tickets were sold, but the concert was amazing,” said the 23-year-old.

As for the music, the band played hits from their recent album, “Don’t Kill The Magic.” Songs such as “Let Your Hair Down,” “No Way No,” and the popular hit song, “Rude,” to close the show. They also played covers songs and gave the audience a preview of their new song, “Sunday Funday.”

Lizama felt that turnout was good, however, he felt that the opening acts were longer than MAGIC! itself.

“The opening acts were good too, but it took a while for MAGIC! to actually play,” said Lizama.

The songs played are related to the audience. It was infused with pop and reggae. They were influenced by English rock band, The Police.

Social media influenced the hype and excitement of the band. Announcements appearing in social media reported the band was coming to play on Guam in the summer.

McCarroll feels that social media were a big help with ticket sales among the college audience.

“We spread the word out to college students, with the use of social media, we draw big events targeted towards them,” said McCarroll.

The members of MAGIC! are from Toronto, Canada in just a few days they were acculturated with Guam – from trying local foods and visiting Guam’s beaches.

McCarroll said they had a good time here on Guam, although it was a short stay. “They went bowling and swimming.”

As for future events, Tropical Productions Inc. has more events for us in store. “We produce concerts, comedy shows, and festivals,” said McCaroll.
