Terry Scott Slaughterhouse Farm

DIFFERENT FORMS HERE ON DELMARVA SUCH AS TRICK OR TREATING AND HAUNTED HOUSES. AND ONE HAUNTED HOUSE THIS YEAR IS MEANT TO DO MORE THAN JUST SCARE YOU. FOX 21'S EVAN KOSLOF JOINS US IN THE NEWSPLEX. EVAN - THIS SOON-TO-BE-SCARY HOUSE IN LAUREL HOPES TO BRING SMILES TO TROOPS OVERSEAS. PAUL - CURTIS SCOTT HAS BEEN SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR JUST OVER A YEAR. AND HE SAYS SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR SPIRITS ARE DOWN -- NOTHING CAN ENERGIZE YOU MORE THAN A LETTER OR PACKAGE FROM HOME. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS HAUNTED HOUSE IS ALL ABOUT. CREATING SOME SCARES -- BUT ALSO RAISING MONEY TO BRIGHTEN UP A SOLDIER'S DAY . A LEFT FOOT HANGS FROM THE CEILING IN A LAUREL BARN. THE RIGHT ONE DANGLES NEARBY. IT'S ALL PART OF AN ELABORATE HAUNTED HOUSE OPENING UP WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BUT A VISIT TO THIS "SOON TO BE" TERRIFYING HOUSE DOES MORE THAN JUST RATTLE YOUR BONES. IT HELPS SUPPORT THE TROOPS. SOT - TERRY SCOTT, FATHER - "I LOVE MY SON. AND IT'S 2 DAYS AWAY FROM HIS BIRTHDAY. AND I JUST COULDN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HIM. I JUST COULDN'T DO IT. THAT'S TERRY SCOTT. DON'T WORRY -- THAT'S FAKE BLOOD ON HIS MOCK. NEXT TO HIM IS HIS SON CURTIS WHO JUST RETURNED FROM AFGHANISTAN. THE HAUNTED HOUSE ON THEIR FARM IS RAISING MONEY FOR OPERATION WE CARE. WHICH SENDS "CARE PACKAGES" TO SOLDIERS LIKE CURTIS. SOT - CURTIS SCOTT, SOLDIER - "ANYTIME ANYBODY GETS A BOX, YOU'RE LIKE - 'OH COOL. WHAT DID YOU GET?' AND EVERY JUST CHECKS OUT TO SEE WHAT THEY GOT. AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY. TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEWS BACK AT HOME." SCOTT SAYS WHEN YOU ARE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY -- A SIMPLE LETTER CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. SOT - CURTIS SCOTT, SOLDIER - "IT FEELS LIKE YOU GET TO SEE A PIECE OF YOUR FAMILY EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT THERE. I MEAN EVERYONE - YOU CAN TELL WHEN IMMEDIATELY WHEN SOMEONE'S HAD A LETTER FROM THEIR FAMILY. OR - THEY'RE JUST WALKING AROUND. YOU CAN JUST TELL FROM THE SMILE ON THEIR FACE. THEY'RE WALKING AROUND QUITE A BIT HAPPIER." AND THAT'S WHY TERRY WANTS TO SEND PACKAGES TO OTHER SOLDIERS WHO CONTINUE TO SERVE. SOT - TERRY SCOTT, FATHER - "SOLDIERS DESERVE EVERYTHING. THEY'RE OVER THERE. AND THEY'RE REALLY LAYING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE. BACK HOME FOR JUST ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS -- CURTIS SITS DOWN WITH HIS FAMILY FOR A DELMARVA CRAB DINNER. I ASK HIM WHY HE SERVES. HE SAYS IT'S SO HIS FAMILY CAN DO THE LITTLE THINGS -- LIKE TO RUN A HAUNTED HOUSE ON A QUIET FARM. THIS EVENT IS CERTAINLY A GOOD CAUSE. BUT FROM WHAT I SAW TODAY -- IT IS ALSO A FAIRLY ELABORATE HAUNTED HOUSE. THEY HAVE 33 ACTORS SPREAD AROUND THE SET. AND IT WILL CERTAINLY BE ENOUGH TO CREATE SOME FEAR IN EVEN THE MOST BRAVE VISITORS. I KNOW I'LL BE THERE. PAUL, ALICE. [A23]ONE SELL-VO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST DAN
