Gary Cerasi, who has been the haunted house manager there for six years, says they have been donating their proceeds to charity for the last 28 years.  "We've contributed over $1.6 million to charity in 28 years.  It really is pretty cool."

And since they donate the monstrous money to charity, Cerasi says their new motto is, "We scare because we care."

The funding raised each Halloween season is dispersed through a variety of local charities.  "The Lions Club, which sponsors this, we are all about the blind," Cerasi says.  "Every year we donate a large amount of money to the blind and blind charities."  He says they also use the money to help feed 28 families all year long.

Each actor at Bloodview creates their own character and name that they use throughout the haunting season.  Just like Wicked Lester, one woman, who has been elected the Lord of Acting this season, goes by Grim.  She plays a woman in a creepy ballroom gown.

And if you think you're safe once outside of the haunted house -- think again.  The actors swarm all night outside and "play" with their victims.

Be warned, though.  This haunted attraction isn't something for everybody.  The gore is intense and the interactions with the actors can be a bit graphic in dialogue at times.

If you're brave enough, Bloodview haunted house is now open through Halloween night.
