Scary fun in Peine: Free horror house open for Halloween!

What's going on in the Peine district is really a reason to visit! On Saturday, October 31st, a spooky horror house will open in Abbensen/Edemissen that will make the hearts of all Halloween fans beat faster. Heidrun Willkens worked tirelessly to put this ghostly attraction together. And a very special support has been added: Sarah Asche, who comes from a well-known Halloween family, provides additional spookiness, even though she has since moved.

A total of around 20 live scarers in costumes are spread across the entire property, waiting to surprise visitors with their gruesome appearances. The fun starts at 5 p.m. and entry is free - an experience that should be a real treat, especially for the children. Guests of all ages are welcome, even if they are not wearing a costume. So everyone can really get into the Halloween spirit!

Creepy decorations and neighborhood help

Preparations are in full swing: the front garden is already festively decorated and some neighbors have also taken an active part in the decorations. The essential atmosphere is enhanced by cobwebs, tombstones and skulls found everywhere. If you dare, you can be guided through the apartment and the garden - and be excited to see what comes next. Even a neighbor's garden is transformed into a cemetery, which perfectly rounds off the spooky atmosphere.

For many of us, Halloween is not just a celebration of sweets and costumes, but also an occasion to reconnect with ancient customs. Halloween originally comes from the Celtic harvest festival Samhain, which was celebrated on November 1st. At that time, the Celts believed that the souls of the dead could communicate with the living that night. Traditions such as trick-or-treating have their roots in such origins as children asking for soul cakes and praying for the dead, which in later days was interpreted as collecting candy.

A critical perspective

But whether the celebrations are safe for everyone remains an exciting question. While Halloween brings fun and joy, there are also critical voices that shed light on the origins of the festival. Some biblical principles call for mindfulness and to think about things that are true and praiseworthy. One thing is clear: Halloween has changed throughout history, but for many it remains a celebration that has deep cultural roots and pays respect to the dead.

Whatever your personal views may be, one thing is certain: the horror house in Abbensen/Edemissen promises an unforgettable experience and lots of fun for the whole family! If you're nearby, you shouldn't miss out on this gruesome fun.
