The haunted house is GONE!!! We had a crew over here yesterday and got the rest of the haunt floor torn up and put into storage. We pushed, shoved, and stacked as much as we could in our storage unit, but in the end we still had to leave some stuff in the garage for storage. The cemetery pillars and the roof peaks from the house are now in our garage until next season!

In other news, we still have yet to offically donate to the Waverly Humane Society… Things are so hectic around here, it’s hard for me to get things done! I’m hoping to get the donation out to Priscilla on December 1st, so I’ll keep you posted!

Also, I’m hoping to get t-shirt designs figured out and the shirts ordered before Christmas!

ALSO, we are planning on attending Transworld’s 2009 Haunt Show in St. Louis ! For more info check out www.hauntshow.com

Things with the haunted house are going pretty slow… Seems like Christmas is getting all the attention. (Sad, I know.) I was hoping to get the rest of the haunt tore up and put into storage, however upon waking up, I found that it had SNOWED the night before! So today we didn’t get much done, got some pannles loaded up in a trailer and got the driveway somewhat cleaned up. I really can’t wait for it to be over! I have been having to deal with the building and teardown for over four months… I’m in need of a break! The weather is supposed to be somewhat wamer than what we have had lately (Thank goodness!) So hopefully the rest will come down tomorrow.

I’m just ready for a break!

We got to work again on tearing down the outdoor haunt tonight. We haven’t been able to work on it much because of either bad weather, me working, or something else going on but tonight we got to work and got a lot done! It was raining all day but that didn’t stop us! Ryan and myself started working on taking down the clown head around 3 or so, then around 4:30 Ryan left, and Calvin showed up and helped take the frames apart from the clown head. Around 5:00 or so Kristyn, Brandon, and Matt showed up and we really go to work! At 6:00 Calvin had to leave, but that didn’t stop us! Brandon and myself worked on getting the roof down while Matt and Kristyn worked on some other tear down. Before the night was over we had about 1/2 of the outdoor haunt down! Just the outside walls are left and those will come down tomorrow! We really kicked but today even though it was raining!

We are going to get back to work on tear down tomorrow and then on Sunday we will get back to work again! I’m hoping to have it all down and in storage before the week is over! I’ll keep you posted!

I updated the “Sneak Peak” page on our site to be the “2008 Walk Through” of the haunted house! That way, if you missed this year, you’ll still be able to get a feel for what the haunted house was like! I’m working on getting a video put together and that will hopefully be up before Christmas! Go check it out! Just click on “2008 Walk Through” in the navigation bar on the left!

I have some free time now so here are the pictures from our last weekend!

Thank you all again for coming out. You’ve made this year just a fantastic run and we can’t wait to get back to work on our all new 09 haunted house. There is talk about us getting a building and making this a business… But we’ll see how things pan out. We had a record breaking 850 people come through the eight nights that we were open and raised nearly 3,000 dollars in donations! A portion of which will be going to the Waverly Humane Society! So I don’t know if I could say it enough but THANK YOU for making this year rock!

On to the pictures!
