00:00.963 --> 00:04.210
(excited chatter)

00:04.210 --> 00:06.420
- [L. Cpl. Dregoiw] Marines
and sailors with headquarters

00:06.420 --> 00:07.660
and headquarters squadron,

00:07.660 --> 00:10.270
welcomed ghosts and goblins of all ages

00:10.270 --> 00:11.360
to their Haunted Hallway

00:11.360 --> 00:13.770
on Marie Corps Air Station, Iwakuni.

00:13.770 --> 00:15.450
This frightful function is designed

00:15.450 --> 00:17.770
to bring community
together to trick or treat,

00:17.770 --> 00:20.460
explore mysterious
labyrinths, and vote for

00:20.460 --> 00:22.250
the section with the spookiest door.

00:22.250 --> 00:23.150
- [Monica] Coming overseas,

00:23.150 --> 00:26.190
you don't know what kind of
events they have planned out.

00:26.190 --> 00:28.930
So, I think having parties
and stuff like this

00:28.930 --> 00:31.300
for the kids, you just have to go big.

00:31.300 --> 00:32.610
We wanted to deck it out,

00:32.610 --> 00:33.840
and, with being overseas,

00:33.840 --> 00:35.800
we're very limited on what decorations.

00:35.800 --> 00:39.640
So, it made us get
creative and get out there.

00:39.640 --> 00:41.680
We were super excited to get competitive

00:41.680 --> 00:43.320
and make a game out of it.

00:43.320 --> 00:45.960
And, everyone did great.

00:45.960 --> 00:47.430
All the kids loved it,

00:47.430 --> 00:49.520
and everybody got to meet new people,

00:49.520 --> 00:51.630
and, it's just fun, all around.

00:51.630 --> 00:53.610
- [L. Cpl. Dregoiw] This is
the second time H and H.S.

00:53.610 --> 00:55.730
has held the Haunted
Hallway for residents.

00:55.730 --> 00:58.960
Sarah Light, a family readiness
assistant for the squadron,

00:58.960 --> 01:01.960
says celebrating the holidays
together helps service members

01:01.960 --> 01:03.860
and their families feel at home.

01:03.860 --> 01:05.120
- [Sarah Light] I think
it's just great to bring all

01:05.120 --> 01:07.700
the families together
and build relationships,

01:07.700 --> 01:10.490
and, just help build
part of this community.

01:10.490 --> 01:13.989
Being overseas, we just don't
have our family members close,

01:13.989 --> 01:16.250
they're all the way across the world.

01:16.250 --> 01:19.450
And, to come spend
events like this together

01:19.450 --> 01:20.770
just helps you kind of...

01:21.630 --> 01:23.490
These people do become your family.

01:23.490 --> 01:25.110
- [L. Cpl. Dregoiw] The
hair-raising fun concluded

01:25.110 --> 01:27.730
with a costume contest,
awarding the winning children

01:27.730 --> 01:30.630
and adults with gift cards
to the Marine Corps Exchange.

01:30.630 --> 01:33.450
Reporting from Marine Corps
Air Station Iwakuni, Japan,

01:33.450 --> 01:35.543
I'm Lance Corporal Lennon Dregoiw.
