My sister and her husband have outdone themselves yet again this year. For those that are not familiar, every year for Halloween they spend endless hours getting a haunted house together for the kids in the neighborhood. This year they have built 13 different rooms to visit that will scare the living poop out of you. Here is a link to their website:http://hanlyshounds.com/halloween.html
They have also been featured in their local papers for the last few years. Last year that had well over a thousand people visit the haunted house, this year they are expecting quite a few more people. Really, I have never seen anything so spectacular done at a 'home' level where there is no charge. If you want to check out the article in the newspaper, here it is:

Melanie (my sister) said that it a pretty big ad with a big picture...the picture is featured in the online version. Kudos to Mel and Justin for putting in so many freaking hours making a wonderful haunted house for the community!

Thanks for the blog! yay! I'll scan in the article and send it out. We are super excited and have had about 200 hits on our website each day. We have had so many people telling us that they appreciate what we are doing. In fact, Forma homes - the ones who donated all of the custom built wooden walls, came last Saturday and offered walls for us to build out our whole driveway (roof and all) for next year! Imagine that!
Are you coming up this weekend?
No we aren't coming up this weekend. If we drive all the way up there we have to pick up the boat, and it's going to rain. So, it looks like it's going to be another week or two. I wish we could be there for Halloween (but most of our backyard is a graveyard, and our neighbors are elderly....so we are kind of the neighborhood watch on Halloween. Sorry! :( But I do expect LOTS AND LOTS of pictures. :)
Oh yeah - I forgot to add.....That is AWESOME about Forma Homes! I was wondering how long it was going to take for you guys to extend it out to the sidewalk. I wonder how long it's going to be before you guys are doing this professionally? Two years? Three years??? :) It's gonna happen!
Congrats to Melanie. this is so cool! and all the way down the driveway.. wow!
