We are Gary Neirynck and Larry Neirynck. We are the founding members of The Pipe Rats and have pretty much been doing this our whole lives. Even though we don't live in the same state, we still get together and work on haunt ideas all the time. 

As soon as we started working for Haunted Carter Farms, we also started attending the Haunt Conventions. This was the first time we were surrounded by other fellow haunters. It's been a great group that we are happy to call our friends.  

Here we are on the bus tour with our fellow haunters going to the local haunted houses in the area. These bus tours are the best. The owners open up their haunts in the middle of the year just to show them off to the people in the industry. We get to ask questions and sometime even get a lights on tour. Even though these are some of the best haunted houses we have seen, we still discuss ways they could make it better.

So after years of watching us do our thing in the haunt world, Larry's daughter Chelsea Neirynck started developing a passion for it as well. This caused her to become a complete social outcast by all her friends. Fortunately the owner of Haunted Carter Farms agreed to let her do some acting in the corn maze. This just fueled her love for haunting to the point that she moved out to the country away from any people and started her own haunt called The Mourning Scythe. We knew there was no turning back at this point, so we brought her in as an official member of The Pipe Rats.
