The DC Cemetery is a "home haunt" that resides in the heart of the Old Mountain View, CA neighborhood that is designed with the residents of Mountain View and its surrounding communities in mind. Over the years we've concocted a haunt that is fun and bone chilling for all age groups. We also like to think that our efforts aid in the progression of Halloween, and hopefully our actions will spread onto others, so they too can provide a safe element for all kids (and adults) to enjoy. The DC Cemetery has recently become one of the most elaborate and complex haunted house displays in America, gaining consistent media attention and in 2007 nationwide exposure. The haunt is so elaborate that they were the winners of FEARnet.com's 2007 Scariest Home Haunted House contest, flown to New York City, and presented with a $50,000.00 check live on NBC's Today Show. So is it worth seeing? We'll let you decide.

Awesome guys, fantastic support, great controllers... and they are CalHauntS members as well.
From their website:
Prop builders and effects specialists have often been vexed when it comes to electronic automation, but that is no longer the case. Team EFX focuses on the creation of products and technology that enable the prop builders and FX engineers to simplify their task. With EFX-TEK, prop automation and control is demystified and ready to serve your specific needs. If you can dream it, you can do it, and we'll be there to guide you along the way -- and we've just made it even easier by bundling everything you need to get started with the Prop-1 in a Prop-1 Starter Kit; and if your needs are a bit more ambitious, we now offer a Prop-2 controller and a Prop-2 Starter Kit featuring Parallax's BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller, arguably the most popular microcontroller in the world.


Free soft yard haunt is "a non-commercial, residential Halloween installation (usually in a front yard) which emphasizes the atmospheres of Halloween rather than gruesome shocks or repellant horror. They tend to be child-friendly." My interest in this uniquely American folk art, as well as my interest in the trick or treating custom, led me to the idea of this web site.
