Students dress up as zombies for the second Haunted Infirmary to raise funds for their annual medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

POTSDAM -- Students in Clarkson University's physician assistant studies program will host a haunted house to raise funds for a medical mission trip.

The second Haunted Infirmary will be from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. Oct. 30 and 31 at Clarkson Hall, 59 Main St.

Tickets are $10 the day of the event and available for a discounted price of $8 if purchased online by Oct. 29 at www.hauntedinfirmary.yapsody.com.

"Potsdam's Haunted Infirmary is one of the main fund-raising events for the Clarkson PA program in regard to funding our annual medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic to give valuable healthcare and medication to the impoverished," said Michael Keyes, a physician assistant master's student from Traverse City, Mich.

The experience is designed as a psychological thriller and lasts approximately 20 minutes. Visitors are lead through a haunted infirmary that has been taken over by zombies, and they will have to work their way through various zombie-controlled areas to make it to the end.

Nearly 50 actors are participating in the haunted infirmary. The PA program has collaborated with offices throughout Clarkson to plan the event, and the Clarkson Union Board, which organizes activities on campus, has devoted a lot of time to achieving a realistic scary experience.
