Every good thing must come to an end, and after 10 years of haunting we decided to retire the Spooktacular with one last bash. We pulled out all the props, I built a new chainsaw dude and built a clown room, something I said I would do only if I ran out of ideas. The Haunt was jammed full of effects- old and new, We had more wires than ever before. I controlled at least 13 different props from behind the curtain. This year Uncle Mike was an Evil Clown hiding behind the purple mylar balloons to scare you at the end. (Thanks Mike for being the ghoul all those years). Judy our wisecraking witch made her final appearance and even Frank came back gory as ever with his pet snapping turtle. Over 300 guests ate, drank and burned a furneral pyre late into the night and at 1:30 we pulled the plug forever on our little party we called the Spooktacular.
