Thanks to everyone who came out to the Museum Of Fear on it's final night of 2012 at the Lafayette Science Museum! Because of you, it was a major success this year and will be even better next year.

The entire 3rd floor of the Lafayette Science Museum will once again be dedicated to one of Lafayette's biggest, best and scariest haunted houses, The Museum of Fear!
