Watson, a Kensington resident, is one of five friends who formed a company to create the scariest haunted house that Rockville has ever seen. The Warehouse: Project 4.1 will take up 37,000 square feet in a former Filene’s Basement on Rockville Pike and will be open on select days from Sept. 28 through Nov. 3. A full schedule is available at hallowinc.com.
What’s your haunted house all about? It’s a zombie-infested warehouse. We’re trying to contain these zombies that have been infected by a nuclear project gone wrong that was actually based on a real project that the U.S. government did in the ’50s in the Cold War. There are going to be morgue rooms, body bags hanging from the ceiling. There’s going to be some labs, pretty much a whole hospital wing; it’s a ton of space. We want to keep it a little under wraps because we want people to get excited about it.
