The making of a monster

Published on: 10/25/2011

Nick Timber is a college student by day. But at night, he turns into a monster called "Graack."

Timber is part of a 152-member staff at the Wisconsin Feargrounds, one of the nation's top haunted attractions located at the Waukesha County Expo Center.

Liz Mistele, 26, works at a preschool and grew up being terrified of haunted houses. She plays "Pandemonium" at the Feargrounds and admits "it's different being on the scaring end rather than on the receiving end."

Read about Timber, Mistele and other actors at the haunted attraction, who trade in their day jobs for a chance to scare the daylights out of people, in Thursday's Waukesha NOW newspaper and on the Waukesha NOW website.
