Darkrose Manor - Halloween 2009
Huge thanks goes out to all who participated this year!
A huge thanks to Mama, for all her hard work and efforts put in to make this happen this year, despite the blizzard and exhaustion. ;)
Aaron, Rachel, Kennedy, Kaleb, & Stacey, all of you were so helpful to us on Halloween night, and kids, you are the most amazing little haunters.
Our wonderful new neighbors, who were extremely supportive of our freaky yard this year. Jamie, Jenny, Bridget and CJ: Fraz and Jan: Jimmy, Corrine, Jalayah, Kiaya & Isaiah: Evelyn & Darryl. We couldn't have done it without all your love & support.
Thanks to our lovely BrewMaster neighbors, who were kind enough to bring us a wonderful bottle of their home-brewed Pumpkin Spice Ale - the most amazing beer we have ever tasted! And to Jane and Andrew for the fantastic Pumpkin Bread!
An extra special thanks to this year's inspiration for our 'Homage to Rot' themed haunt, Pumpkinrot & Bean. No one will ever achieve it like the two of you. :)
And last but certainly not least, to all of the near 600 visitors who took the time to wander our haunted yard on Halloween night. You are what makes all of this worth it. We thank you for a hugely successful evening!
Here are a few photos from this year's display. Video soon to come. Factory galleries will also be updated this week.
Happy Halloween and Many Thanks!!

Test Night & Pumpkin Bread...
Alright, screw the weather!!!!
We are working our hineys off to get enough done today to be able to run a test night tonight, 10-30!
The sweetest lady, a neighbor from the next street over, 'Jane' stopped by with her son, Andrew, a little while ago to say 'Thank You' for all we have done for the community for this Halloween. There is nothing that could have warmed our hearts more to be able to push through this weather and make it happen no matter what. Oh... and she came bearing the most beautiful loaf of freshly made Pumpkin bread!!!! Thank You Jane & Andrew!!!!!!! You made our day, and our Halloween.
The 'Cancelled' sign has been pitched into the trash...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Snow and Inclement Weather
Well, we are getting dumped on with heavy snow. This has put a bit of a damper on preparations... PLEASE READ ON FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION...
However, we are diehard haunters. As such will go on as planned for this season. Please be aware that Test Night as originally scheduled - Thursday October 29th, will likely be spent making repairs and attempting to finish up preparations that we were unable to get to as a result of the weather. We will not be in costume on this night.
Now... if the weather does not clear, we will move Test Night to Friday October 30th. Visitors are still welcome on this night, all we ask is that you bear in mind that repairs will be under way and lighting/fog may be scarce.
Thanks and HAPPY HAUNTINGS!!! See you this weekend!!

Key Note
Our dear friend Kristina just returned from 'Burning Man' She uploaded several fantastic photos of her journey. This is a favorite sculpture that I SOOOO wish I had been able to see in person. The scale of this thing is just as impressive as the concept.
