Cartoon characters don't usually make appearances on college campuses.
On March 30, the 2014 Adult Swim FunHouse Tour brought characters from shows such as The Boondocks, Robot Chicken and Squidbillies to life through a giant inflatable castle and cartoon-themed party on Cater Lawn.
"I don't know what just happened," said Shawn Edwards, sophomore in computer science minutes after exiting the funhouse. "Typical Adult Swim, that's the best way to describe it. It's just weird and fun at the same time."
The FunHouse was originally scheduled to open on Saturday, March 29, but was called off due to the threat of inclement weather.
To compensate, the FunHouse tour will be open from 2 - 9 p.m. Sunday only.
"We walked through one room with string everywhere and you had to maneuver through everything," said Brad Tarver, sophomore in computer science. "We saw Santa Clause, he was bad though, he was angry. Then a 30-year-old baby chilling in a crib, too."
Featuring three separate exits, including a "Karaoke Cage," visitors chart their own paths through the different twists and turns of the funhouse, guided only figures dressed in black cloaks and animal masks.
Outside, an Easter Bunny and a wizard are handing out free packets of Icebreakers-sponsored mints and posing for photographs.
"It was fun, really unexpected," said Chloe Chaudhury, senior in biochemistry. "We did the karaoke cage, but we came out of the slide. We just wanted to do it."
Visitors also get a T-shirt with the logo of their favorite Adult Swim TV show ironed on for free.
Tickets are available all day and free to everyone 18 and older.
