Harvest of the Damned
Long before the neighborhood was built, the land was home to a forgotten farm on the edge of West Hills. Locals whispered that the soil never grew crops—only bones. In 2026, that cursed harvest rises across the Skullcraft Street front yard.
Farm relics, spiders, asylum horrors, graveyard spirits, lost souls, and the Boneyard become layered street-view scenes instead of rooms guests enter. The story unfolds through animation, light, fog, sound, and shadows—all visible from out front.
Fog, haze, animated figures, loud audio, low visibility, dark imagery, and flashing or strobing lights may be visible or audible from the viewing area. Guests sensitive to these effects should use caution.
The Skullcraft Family
Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved Halloween. That love became a tradition when I rented my first house at 21 and started creating budget-friendly, semi-graphic Halloween walkthroughs and displays at different homes in West Hills.
Over the years, I gained props, lost props, rebuilt scenes, upgraded effects, decorated special events and music venues, and helped turn a local bar into a haunted attraction. Now, with the support of my wife and son, we keep building a new imaginative escape every Halloween.
The best part has always been the laughter, screams, nervous smiles, and neighbors leaving with a real Halloween memory. Skullcraft Street exists because Halloween should never become just another holiday people stop caring about. We do this for the kids, families, neighbors, horror fans, and everyone who deserves a proper local display.
