SCARE for a CURE Needs YOUR Help this Weekend!

Here's the details:

The move to the new site and the rain has severely put us behind schedule but if we can have a great turnout this weekend we can put things back on track.

We have moved everything from our old site and additional storage location…it’s all at the NEW site.

ANTSNAX ON FLICKR

Work days will now take place at the NEW haunt site called The Bunker at 7400 Coldwater Canyon (take City Park Rd. to Bridge Point Parkway, turn left and then right onto Coldwater Canyon).

Here is the schedule for this weekend:

Friday 9/18, 4 pm - 10 pm
Saturday 9/19, 9 am – 6 pm
Sunday 9/20, 10 am – 6pm

Please come out to help even if you can only work for a few hours. There will be plenty of things to do for ALL skill levels…you might even learn a skill or two.

Something that would be a big help would be to RSVP if you’re able.

If you can’t RSVP we totally understand—please don’t let this prevent you from coming out at the last minute. It just helps us get a handle on food and work crews.

RSVP at volunteer@scareforacure.org.

Thank you to everyone for their time and support in this fun event benefitting an important cause in our community!

Back to Our Foundation

If you are new to Austin, you may not be familiar with the haunted house that has inspired the SCARE for a CURE team. For those of you who didn't have an opportunity to make it through Britannia Manor during its seasonal runs 1988-1994, our just want a trip down nostalgia lane, check out this great video - "The World's Most Famous House".

This short documentary of the most elaborate house of all-time was filmed and directed by Patrick Neese and David Neff. David is founder and creator of The Haunted Report, the haunted industry's first and only independent news blog. Their motto is "If it scares the crap out of people we cover it." David is also the Director of Hype for Mansion of Terror (MoT), another local haunt. Stay tuned for more details about how MoT and SCARE for a CURE are ganging up to guarantee the most terrifying and scariest Halloween EVER!

SCARE for a CURE Announces New Location at Britannia Manor

The Austin Elks Lodge was not large enough to contain the bone-chilling adventure that is BLOOD RITUAL! So it’s moving to a new location that brings one of Austin’s premiere haunted houses back to its roots.

This year’s SCARE for a CURE will take place on the grounds of Richard Garriott’s uncompleted new Britannia Manor off City Park Road in northwest Austin.

Jarrett "The Defuser" Crippen and Richard "Lord British" Garriott unite for charity

That’s right—SCARE for a CURE has moved!

While we are eternally grateful to the Elks at Austin Lodge #201, our event this year is so terrifying, so spectacular, that we had no choice but to find a location equally steeped in myth and legend! Austin’s greatest interactive haunted adventure will take place where it all began.

Are you ready?

Join a team of paranormal researchers to explore the mysteries and horrors of Dunstan Castle. Experience a twisted tale of demons, blood-lust, and a vampire's quest for world domination. Do you have the courage and wits to save humanity, or will you end up as a snack at their victory party?

From 1988-1994 Britannia Manor was famous for hosting the most elaborate haunted house in the country. Many of the volunteers who worked on Britannia Manor transferred Richard's ideas as well as their talent and enthusiasm to support the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve in Austin by creating Wild Basin's Haunted Trails from 1996 to 2005. In 2007, many of those volunteers came together again for SCARE for a CURE haunted house to support local charities.
