i am glad everyone likes our pics from the early days
many more on deck
this is my passion and i was a lucky kid
to grow up in this business...
my grandfather had been doing a haunted hayride here on our farm since the fifties
but ended when i was in eighth grade...
but i already had it in my blood

my friends and i never stopped talking about running a haunt ....
when i was 20 i bought the farm and started living my childhood dream..

and now members on council had been here getting scared as kids...

the truth is we just have a blast out here
and it shows...

we always had rock n roll bands playing and this guy sat on top of the stage

like its the 90s all over again....
sorry this pic suks but with my work load i'm done looking for a good one this morning

wow how the times have changed
my grandfather gave me my first shot gun on my 9th birthday
i started paying on my first truck at 13
i used wake up and run trap line at 4 am
come home n milk cows
then take a shower
eat breakfast then go to school....
once at 14 i got pulled over by the county sheriff ...alone..
i even had a gun but he let me go with a warning
the next morning he saw me again and he waved as he drove by...
all the boys in high school had a gun in the gun rack and a knife on their belt
we were living in America
and we were free
now fingernail clippers will get a kid expelled ...
what have we become ?


here are the pair of gargoyles on top of the stage
its 2 semi trailers parked together...
crappy pic i know but its our history..
and history isn't always a clear picture

when ever we shoot video of our mega crowds
its always better with a band playing in the back ground
its the haunted hoochie way....
sooo much going on its over whelming

I really want to make it to the Hooch one day, it just looks like alot of fun. Thats a cool idea for the stage and was wondering what type of bands play for your show? The Hooch looks like it screams metal!

Metal is the only music that should be played at a haunt!

[badass]

but lets get back to the 90s...
what inspired you ?
we have been working in the shop lately...on our newest creation
which let me tell you is freaking amazing...
and no doubt will be something everyone will soon want in their haunt..

and all the while we have been talking about inspiration...and how it is unavoidable to not be influenced..
although we were oblivious to what other haunts were doing around the country...pre internet back then...

while we were blazing a path borne outta our own minds we also watched movies...
and what inspired us at the time was the movie evil dead...
and it all started in a cabin out in the woods..

happy friday the 13th
this is Toby Miracle..
this year is Tobys 22 year with haunted hoochie
I probably couldn't keep doing this without him
my entire dream team is still together..
its been the best of friends having the best of times

[badass]

its been a great building year so far for us..
hope the same for everyone else..

we have been in negotiations on more land
which has its positives n negatives
1.8 million is the price tag....
glad i despise money and greed so much...
not too sure how this project will end...
negotiations means please split me off a smaller piece...
and no land equals
not opening the old historic hoochie woods back up...
decisions decisions..
even with the failing economy pataskala (my city) is poised to grow..
i guess time will tell...I'm easy

heres more from the 90s
not sure how many of these we made...many..
btw...i have my favorites and heres one

old school hoochie style

Awesome thread Timbo!!! Its truly making my brutal blood boil with nasty necrostalgia!!! I am lucky to by now i think to be remembered as one of the originals. The ones who built the haunted hoochie up with just sadistic ideas, blood, sweat, and shear devouring determination to do diabolical deeds to people and stay outta jail, lol....well all that and a whole lotta trips to the hardware store. Im proud of my 17 years with you man, & what youve help me acomplish in my life. I was just a 15 yr old kid when I wandered onto your farm with just a hunger to scare. The endless support you show us all, especially me in creation and the very idea of creavtivity, balls to the wall, no limits chaos kind of creation. And quite the brainstorms you have sent me into, hell brain hurricanes!!! How else could I have come up with the idea for the DEMON BIRTH that has sent shock waves that I have seen through the industry. You never saw even the idea of birth and mutilation even mentioned...even discussion of such too Taboo...until....It pops in this sick brain u created in me..out of no where the next year there are bloody babies and fetuses flying across the show floor in Vegas!! Lmao. hell...even I thought....."NOOOOO....We cant do that! can we...? NOOO!" But two words from you Tim have always stuck with me, almost guiding me through life, "Why Not". wisdom to live to die by right there.
so instead of going back to my boring job, i called you and hesitantly told you my gruesome totally outrageous offensive never been done because of so IDEA.

.....and I will never will forget your explosive enthuisiasm. "HELL FUCKIN YES!!!! I know just how to engineer it. Its PERFECT!! I'm out the door to start on it RIGHT NOW!!"

(it was dead december winter folks, maybe christmas eve, record 100 year ICE storm was in effect all I can remember is thinking hes finally gone crazy)

thats the kind of work ethic it takes to be such a pioneer, such an inspiration as Tim is to us all. I know it seems im laying it on kinda of thick, but im really not. he truly is one of a kind, my mentor in mayhem...my brother.

thank you Tim for all you have done for me and for us all,
your friend and brother in harm, Nate~

hell yeah~hell yeah indeed
