Big announcement about the haunt coming soon, but first for some fun:

When I first started doing the whole “Site I like” feature, I had only a couple of haunts in mind.  One was very local to me, as in it’s an Ontario based haunt and some of the others were just sites and haunts I really liked.  Then one day I came across the ultimate in home haunting perfection.  It wasn’t animatronics or fancy pneumatics that made this site stand out to me.  It was one simple picture that did it.  I saw this picture and I just knew this is the haunt that I would look up to.  This is the haunt that blows my mind away because the guy that runs it, gets what I get.  He understands that placement of props is exceedingly important and it’s the way that all the small details work together to create an overall feeling of eeriness.  It goes beyond simply throwing store bought props on a front lawn and calling it a day.  I can go on and on, but you’re probably wondering why I haven’t divulged the site yet.  So, with out further ado, here is the Site I Like and the image that captivated me for so long.

 Hello fellow readers!  It has been a long summer with little to no updates to this site.  Fear not, I have not abandoned ship.  It has just taken me a while to sort out exactly what I wanted to do for Halloween 2011.  In fact, I’m considering whether or not to go out with a bang, or keep the haunt going.  Either way, I have many things I would like to attempt to build and thus I present to you The List of new props for Haunt on the Hill 2011!  Whether it’s the Haunt’s last year or just the begining to a new chapter, I look forward to seeing my neighbours this Halloween!

Yes, it is me. I have returned from the abyss to inform you all that on Tuesday June 28th, at 10:54am, I will be one year closer to death. This is my not so cheery way of saying it’s my birthday. My 29th to be exact. 

What can you get me for my birthday you ask?  Aww shucks, that’s just so kind of you, but actually what I really want for my birthday is for you to donate some money to The SickKids Foundation through this very site. If after the excitement of doing a good deed wears off and you still have a hankering to get me something, Home Depot gift cards are super fun! In all seriousness though, a great gift would be your donation to this worthwhile cause!

As winter fades and signs of spring show up, haunters everywhere start making plans and gearing up for the many conventions that take place during the warmer months.  There are the big boys: Midwest Haunters Convention and HAuNTcon, to name a couple.  And now in it’s second season is the baby, The Canadian Haunter’s convention.  This convention intrigues me because as a visitor to a large one like MHC, I’m used to seeing some crazy stuff.  How do Canadians play a role in the haunt world?  Is there enough interest in Canada to make this a worthwhile convention?  These are all questions I have mulled over and here to answer these questions is the creator of the convention, Matthew Flaggler!
