Designed and operated by Chelsea Neirynck, this hidden home haunt on a quiet country road is sure to catch anyone off guard. Roughly 80% of the props and sets are homemade and designed for single person set-up. Making assembly easy and storage easier.
Incorporating real props is also a goal for set design.... some of these include real animal skulls, an antique chest, a casket, antique horse buggy and a pumpkin arch tunnel that is alive and lit for walkthrough/photos.
Entry into display is thru the cemetery arch.......yes I am aware "cemetary" is spelled wrong but my grandpa made it for me so its staying that way
Chelsea posed with her recent 2021 build of new cemetery entry-way. Recycled lath attached to 1x's in an "L" formation with.........yes, real copper lanterns modified for electrical use mounted outward towards the entry.
Care for a ride?
Purchased in 2024, this is an antique horse drawn buggy being "pulled" by two skellys mounted in front.
