4 - 11 pm, 538 Pacific
Complete information about a Haunted House in Algiers (compiled from several emails):
Though life is far from normal for us, it's starting to resemble it. With schools opening back up there are a lot of kids in the area again. It's a welcome sight. With Halloween coming up, we wanted to provide them a traditional Halloween. My girlfriend and I have been working very hard to get our house ready for the holiday and are preparing a mini-production of sorts for Halloween day itself.
Most of the behind-the-scenes stuff is done and we're getting ready to start decorating tonight or this weekend. We've driven around the area and seen a fair amount of other Halloween decorations up and some other people obviously thinking about the holiday.
Anyway, the purpose of this letter is to let you know that 538 Pacific will be open on Halloween day between 4-11 (or whenever it dies down). We will be putting on a miniature Haunted House and I'd like to know if other homes will be doing anything similar. I think it's important to give kids a traditional holiday to speed the return to normalcy and I hope we can be a part of it. We're welcoming trick or treaters of all ages, with or without costumes, we just want to people to be there to enjoy our work.
As far as how scary it is, it'll be varied. Typically we tone things down a great deal for young children. We're doing an Alice in Wonderland theme so it can be varied greatly depending oin the age group. Young kids can expect spookinees and some candy, older kids and adults can expect a really good scare. We're not doing too much with blood and gore though there might be some depending on what others bring to it. We will try to keep that to a minimum though, especially for the younger crowd. It's all human controlled.
