Area 66 Haunted School - Holiday Edition
As the sun sets and the doors of the Pink Elephant Antique Mall close for the night, the old Livingston High School—now a forgotten relic—seems to come alive with whispers of its haunted past. For decades, the school stood as a place of learning and laughter, its classrooms bustling with students, teachers, and the daily rhythm of school life. But now, something far darker lingers in its shadowed halls. After 75 years of operation, the school mysteriously shut its doors. The reasons behind its closure remain buried in hushed conversations and forgotten stories, but one question hangs in the air: what happened within those walls to seal its fate? And more importantly, who—or what—still resides there?
This Christmas, the old school is getting a sinister makeover, transforming into a terrifying holiday experience like no other. Forget the warmth of glowing lights and the comfort of carols echoing through the air—this year, Christmas has taken a horrifying turn. The halls aren’t decked with cheerful boughs of holly or bright ornaments, but with eerie decorations that hint at something twisted lurking within. Santa Clown, Krampus, and a band of malevolent elves have come to take over the school, and they’re not here to spread joy. They've brought their Naughty List, and being on it could mean much more than a lump of coal. For those unlucky enough to land on this cursed roll, there’s a chance they may never leave the school at all.
It all begins the moment you step inside. The air is thick with an unsettling chill, a feeling that something isn’t quite right. The cheerful jingles of the holiday season are warped into haunting, discordant melodies that echo off the cold, stone walls. Shadows flicker in the corners, and you can almost hear the faint sound of footsteps behind you—too close for comfort. But when you turn around, no one’s there. Is it your imagination playing tricks, or is there something more sinister at work?
Santa Clown, the ringleader of this terrifying holiday takeover, is unlike any Santa you’ve seen before. With his brightly painted face twisted into a grotesque smile, he’s more nightmare than merry old St. Nick. His sack doesn’t carry presents; instead, it’s filled with grim surprises for those unfortunate enough to cross his path. You’ll know you’re in his presence by the sound of jingling bells, but don’t mistake that for a cheerful sign. Those bells mean he’s close—and when he’s near, you’re in for a holiday fright you won’t soon forget.
Krampus, the dark counterpart to Santa Claus, stalks the school as well, and his motives are far more malevolent. He’s on the lookout for the naughtiest of the naughty, and his punishment is nothing short of brutal. The old legends of Krampus speak of him dragging children off to his lair, but this time, he’s not just after the young. Anyone who crosses his path is fair game, and his menacing figure looms in the shadows, waiting to pounce. With his horns, cloven hooves, and long, twisted tongue, he’s the embodiment of holiday terror.
But Krampus and Santa Clown aren’t alone in their takeover of Livingston High. A horde of evil elves has joined the fun, their once-jolly demeanor replaced by a sadistic desire to wreak havoc. These elves aren’t busy making toys; they’re focused on creating chaos. Their high-pitched giggles echo through the hallways as they scurry from room to room, leaving behind sinister traps and surprises. With sharp teeth and mischievous grins, they’re always looking for their next victim.
As you make your way through the halls, you might start to wonder if the school’s original inhabitants—the students and teachers who once filled these rooms—are still here in some way. Rumors say that the spirits of those who once roamed these halls haven’t left. Or perhaps something far worse has taken their place. Have the ghosts of the past been pushed aside to make room for these twisted holiday creatures, or are they now part of the horrors that await?
And then there’s that smell. At first, it’s easy to mistake it for something comforting—maybe the holiday specials from the Twistee Treat Diner, wafting through the air. But as you get closer, the sweet, nostalgic scent takes on a more sinister note. It’s a smell that makes your stomach churn, a combination of burnt sugar and something foul lurking just beneath the surface. Could it be the diner’s famous treats—or is it something far more dangerous, perhaps even deadly?
Every turn in the school brings a new terror. Classrooms that once held lessons on history and science are now the stage for unspeakable horrors. Desks are overturned, and chalkboards are covered in cryptic messages that seem to change when you’re not looking. In the gymnasium, once the site of school dances and basketball games, strange figures flicker in and out of the dim lighting. They move too quickly to be human, and their laughter is distorted, like an old record played at the wrong speed.
The deeper you venture into the school, the more you begin to question whether you’ll ever find your way out. The exit signs seem to lead you in circles, and familiar hallways take on a disorienting quality, stretching longer than they should. The walls close in, and the sense of being watched intensifies. It’s not just the creatures you’ve seen that pose a threat—there’s something else, something even darker, lurking just beyond your field of vision.
Your only hope of survival is to stay on the Nice List, but that’s easier said than done. The creatures that now call the school home have their own twisted version of who’s naughty and who’s nice, and it doesn’t take much to land on the wrong side. One wrong move, one bad decision, and you could find yourself trapped in the school forever, just another name on Santa Clown’s Naughty List.
But if you’re brave enough to face your fears, there’s only one way to find out what’s really going on in Livingston High School. This isn’t your average holiday event—it’s a full-blown nightmare with a festive twist. The haunted halls, once filled with the echoes of schoolchildren, are now alive with the dark magic of the season. It’s a holiday scare like no other, and one that will stay with you long after the Christmas lights have been taken down.
So, if you think you’re up for the challenge, come join us for a night of twisted holiday terror. But be warned: not everyone who enters these haunted halls will make it out the same. Some may never make it out at all.
This Christmas, it’s not the thought that counts—it’s survival. Will you make it through the night, or will you become another victim of Livingston High School’s dark holiday curse? There’s only one way to find out.
