Some Wareham students are doing the zombie shuffle and others are donning elaborate costumes to spook wagon-riders at the annual Bog Fright Night in Tihonet Village.

"There are some unbelievable things happening this year," says organizer Sally Morrison.

But that's all we can say. The rest of the scenes are top secret. You'll have to stop by and take a wagon ride to learn more.

"They're diverse," Morrison says of the various scenes that riders see as a wagon twists and turns through the woods and A.D. Makepeace Company bogs. "There's different kinds based on, some kids don't like 'scary,' some kids are afraid of the dark, some kids like gore. Each scene has a different twist."

Morrison and Darryl Higgins of the Onset Youth Center have been organizing the three-day event for five years. Wareham students have always staffed it, and as the years have gone on, other groups -- such as the Kaleidoscope School of Dance and Gymnastics and the Showstoppers performance troupe -- have gotten involved.

The proceeds are doled out to the schools and the nonprofit groups that assist in the event. Bog Fright Night is sponsored by A.D. Makepeace and Edaville Railroad.

The 20-minute wagon rides are chaperoned by wagon-masters who become part of Bog Fright Night and get the riders involved.

"The people who come," Morrison explains, "they're part of the whole schtick."

And the student performers enjoy that energy.

"I can say, after five years, no two rides have ever been the same," Morrison said. "The kids, as the night goes on, which is Darryl's and my favorite part, they feed off the reactions of the riders and they change their schtick. They're learning a little performance piece."

Morrison is a wagon-master herself.

"If people get scared, if something happens to them, I liberally making fun of them," she admits, but notes that if there are small children on a wagon, she'll give them a inconspicuous heads-up when something scary is about to happen.

"My favorite story I always tell is the person I saw who was the most scared was a Wareham High School football player," Morrison said. "He literally freaked out. I thought he was joking!"

Want to get a scare yourself? Bog Fright Night begins at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The last wagon leaves Tihonet Village at 8:30 p.m.
