With snow on the ground and no power until 5:30 PM on Halloween, we didn’t have much of an event this year. Between 10 and 15 people showed up, and surprisingly, brought donations for the Food Bank (thank you!) But, normally, we get hundreds of visitors.
But, we couldn’t even allow people into the yard because of the snow. We had no sound effects, no fog, and minimal animatronics. The bulk of our hard work could not be enjoyed or viewed (thanks, Alfred).
To say the least, I’m not satisfied with this Halloween, so I’m doing it over.
I invite you to join me this Saturday night, November 5th between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. The weather is supposed to be great this weekend, with no chance of rain and highs in the 50′s. We’ll be collecting donations for the Food Bank, as well. Admission, as always, is free.
I hope you’ll join me for a good cause, and for some thrills.

Unfortunately, the forecast for this Saturday evening is for rain with temperatures in the high 30′s. The electronics and electrical connections outside simply can’t tolerate wet weather and be expected to function properly, or remain undamaged. I also am not going to subject myself, my Mom, and the volunteers (thank you!) to stand out in the cold wet weather for 3 hours.
Therefore, I’m forced to cancel the event for Saturday, the 29th. Sorry, folks.
The weather looks good for Halloween, so we’ll be holding the event on that day between 6pm and 9pm.

I will be hosting my annual “Haunted House on Lake Terror-Among-Us” benefiting the Marlborough Food Bank on Saturday, October 29th and Monday, October 31st, between 6:00PM and 9:00 PM both nights. The event will be held at 15 Washington Road in Marlborough. Monetary donations and non-perishable food items will be accepted with all proceeds benefiting the Marlborough Food Bank. Admission is free.
I have enough volunteers for Saturday, but could use a few more for Halloween. If anybody can spare a few hours for a good cause, please let us know (see previous post for details.)

Halloween is just around the corner. Every year I’ve run my event, people invariably say, “If you need help next year, let me know.”
Well, if I’m going to do this again for 2011, I need your help.
Specifically, I’m looking for a few volunteers to participate during the event. Participation involves working a section of the event, sometimes with a little theatrics, but mostly to guide people through or give them a scare.
I’m contemplating running the event on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, and definitely on Monday the 31st.

The residents of Marlborough and other towns turned out to show their support for the food bank at this past weekend’s Halloween event, donating $170 and a pickup truck full of non-perishable food
A special thanks to my Mom and my fiancee for their help in setting up and tearing down the displays. I would not have been able to host the event without their invaluable assistance. Thanks also to the relatives and friends who contributed their time by participating in the event.
I managed to snap a few photos, albeit during the hour it rained, which you can view here.
I thought I’d take another minute to answer some of the questions I’m frequently asked about the displays and the event.
