As everybody knows, Middle Schoolers are scary. Well, Bog Fright Night IV put those middle-school students to work.

"I always really liked Halloween," said coordinator Sally Morrison of MA Children's Relief. "Since Bog fright Night started, I love it."

The event is sponsored by A. D. Makepeace, Edaville Railroad, and Jellystone Campground of Cape Cod.

But the biggest contributors are the more than 300 ghouls from Wareham Youth Partnership's Onset Youth Center, the Wareham Middle School Renaissance Program, and MA Children’s Relief, as well as their parents and some other community volunteers who do the scaring

This year, the crew was so large that several new vignettes were added for volunteers.   A "Corpse Bride Deading Ceremony," was the largest vignette ever on the bog, and greeted visitors as they rode in the midst of a haunted cemetery.  Other new additions included "Nursery Crhymes" such as Little Bo Peep and her demon sheep, and volunteer Alfred DeMello brought his friends from Spooky World and Factory of Terror to supersize "Davy Jones' Locker, the event's first "nautical-themed vignette" on the shores of Tihonet Pond.

Meanwhile, Morrison and her group of "alleged grownups" took part in smaller vignettes along the course of the 20-minute wagon ride, as well as instructing the participants in their tasks:

"Remember, you're dead, so you have to move slowly!" Morrison shouted to the shipwrecked zombies at Davy-Jones' Locker.

Otherwise, the kids and their parents are on their own.

"I'm in the Corpse-Bride Deading, and I don't know exactly what I'm doing," said Taylor Fagundes.

But that's kind of part of the fun.  Nothing's more scary than the unexpected.
