1998
1998 was a very difficult year, The Spooktacular was 90 percent complete and ready to go, when suddenly my dad became seriously ill and was lifeflighted to the hospital, were he later died. During that week we had people visiting our house everyday, and of course, it was not a very good week... except during this period our guests all wanted to see the garage. We ended up giving a couple behind the scenes tours, (we even had a priest go through) and after some encouragement we decided not to cancel the event. So the following Saturday we let loose with another huge party. I sometimes can still hear his laughing in the dark of the haunt. Spooky.
