AKRON, Ohio — Sprinkle some Halloween on Christmas: That's what a yearly haunted house in Ohio plans to do this season. 

The Akron Schoolhouse and Laboratory announced this week it will open in December for an event called "A Creepy Christmas" — a Christmas-themed haunted house. 

Organizers said the place will be decked out in cheerful lights, trees and decor, but the monsters that roam inside "aren't quite as jolly."

It's a two-day only event from Dec. 8 to Dec. 9. Ticket prices and times will be announced at a later date. 

The announcement comes as the Akron Schoolhouse and Laboratory celebrates its 50th year in operation.
