With the cost of high speed internet dropping below the $20.00 per month price point in many areas we have decided to base all page loads off of a download speed of 512kbps.  This means that very few of our pages will take more than a few seconds to load.

Halloween Pictures and the Animated GIF downloads being the areas of this web site that will take the longest to view.

It usually takes my wife and I about 60 hours to set up the displays.  This is usually done over a period of 2 to 3 weeks.  Tear down takes even longer because it is harder to pack the props up than it is to unpack them .

We are located at 1603 Crestline Drive, Troy, MI. 48083.  Just North of Big Beaver (16 Mile Road) off the West side of John R. Road.

From John R. Road go West on Crimson to the second intersection (Crestline) and turn Left, we are located on the right hand (North) side of the street.  Just look for the cemetery in the front yard.  Trust me, you will know our house when you see it.

WMP is short for "Wet My Pants", we hope these are rare, but we are trying to create a scary haunted house after all.

Many of the links on our site open a new browser window.  Check and see if you have any type of pop up blocker software that might be able to prevent the windows from opening.  I run a link test every week to make sure the site is up to date.  External links to other sites are beyond my control for the most part.  If you notice that a link to another site is broken for more than a few days please contact us.

We have had children as young as 4 years old go through our haunted house (If you do not count our son who was 9 months old his first time, he laughed at everything).  We have had kids in their late 60's also come through our haunted house.  For kids that are young we usually turn on the garage and 3 season room lights and let them walk through.  Then they usually make us turn off the lights so they can go through a second time, third time, fourth time, it can be difficult to get them out.
