NEW ORLEANS — The scariest thing that can happen this Halloween is … a blood shortage. But The Blood Center, The Mortuary Haunted House, and The Chamber of Horrors Haunted House are making sure that won’t happen.

Both haunted houses are holding blood drives this month, and blood donors will receive a free haunted house pass. Donors will also receive the choice of a special Blood Center Halloween t-shirt or family blood coverage, plus a free cholesterol test.

Blood donors can also give blood at Lakeside Mall this weekend to receive a pass to either The Mortuary or The Chamber of Horrors.
