This year's YMCA haunt was our biggest yet, paying homage to the entire history of horror cinema from silent era German classics to the twisted visions of the 21st century. Along the way, we visited the golden age of Universal monsters, sci-fi horrors of the 1950s, Hitchcock's suspense masterpieces, zombie classics, cannibalistic chainsaw families, slashers, and more.
Rumor has it it was our best attended Halloween at the Y yet, and dare I say it was our best haunt ever! Many thanks go to LexisNexis for funding and to a terrific batch of volunteers without whom it would literally have been impossible to do what we did.
Oh, what we did? Make little kids cry and grown men run for the door! That's what we did... Muwhahahahahahah!
Here are some candids shot right before we opened and some higher quality production and event shots by our real photographer.
Patty Costopoulos, Susan Wolff, Cindy Grassi, Chris Sapp, Heidi Weisman, and Martha Blandon of the Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton
for supporting our vision, no matter how insane.
Kathleen McDonald and Christina Heintz of LexisLexis
for giving us a real budget and a great gang of volunteers.
Amy Kimberly and Larry Willhite of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue
for helping keep all the horrors imaginary.
Everyone who ran screaming for making it all worthwhile.
