A Nightmare Come True!

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved haunted mazes. My mom (who was terrified of these) would try to endure and take me to at least one every Halloween. As I reached the teenage years it had become a dream of mine to one day be a part of a really great Haunted Maze. This year I got my wish!

One of my dear friends and her family (the Nelson family) had put on haunted mazes for several years on their personal property but, hadn't done so for a few years now. This year they decided to build The Doll Factory, a substantial 7000 sq ft solid frame maze in a warehouse complete with animatronics and pneumatic special effects. Add in the cast and crew and we had quite the mind blowing, pee your pants kind of haunt. The Nelson's were so generous to let my daughter and I help build the maze, put some touches on effects and work as monsters. My nightmare (dream) come true. It was even more special because my daughter (of her own free will) wanted to participate and had a blast!

Thank you Nelson family for allowing us to haunt with you! You will all be like family to me for the rest of my days. And to all those who participated, whether you worked with us or was scared by us.. You all gave me memories I will treasure forever! Thank YOU!
