Every fall, the Red Mill Museum here hosts a haunted house. But this year’s "Asylum of Terror," has angered mental health advocates who said the theme perpetuates ugly stereotypes.
The show, which ends today, warns visitors of hopeless, mindless and deranged patients lurking in dark corners ready to lunge.
"Dementia, paranoia, violent sociopathic behaviors, physical abnormalities and deformities ... these are but a few of the afflictions that torment the wretched souls imprisoned within the walls of the Asylum," reads an advertisement for the haunted house.
