Haunted House Has Benevolent Purpose

Proceeds from donations will go to the Pace Center for Girls.

Bene’s International School of Beauty in New Port Richey is hoping to scare up some donations for the Pace Center for Girls this Halloween season.

The venue plans to transform into “Bene’s Bloody School of Beauty,” a free haunted house, that opens Friday, Oct. 24, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 25. The attraction will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. both days.

While entry to the haunted house is free, organizers hope to drum up donations for the nonprofit that provides programs to girls 12 to 18 who have been identified as being at-risk.
