Halloween Projects

Here we will try to keep you posted of what is being built toward the festivities each year.

Each year I try to add more to my decorations and now being back home with this large property again, I have plenty of room to build things so locals can enjoy our celebration and perhaps I can be the generation that changes the towns minds about our family and its horrific past. Our plan for 2007 is to start building a cemetery this will also work into the 2008 season. I made copies of all the instructions and we're grateful that so many of you have shared your instructions for all these wonderful projects!

We are still throwing names around for this whole ongoing project but I believe it will be something to do with the name "Collins". That is my maiden name and also the name of the family candy business.

I was tortured as a child in grade school back when "Dark Shadows" soap opera was on tv. I was one of 8 Irish children that attended an all Polish school full of names ending in "ski".

All of us ran home everyday to watch the Collins Family of Vampires bite their way through several seasons. Needless to say being from the original Collins Family that a tv show was made of did not makes things very easy.

April 2007 We Got a Name!

"COLLINWOOD 841"

Our Haunt here at Collinwood 841 cannot be too scary as we have more little Trick or Treators than older ones and when you have over 100 little ones for Halloween....the little kids rule! Last year we had 176 of them bring along their parents for a total of 250. The 2007 season brought way over 200 folks, we were so busy we lost count and the 2008 season brought over 300. We are fortunate to be able to find some joy in the celebration of Halloween as people are so afraid to come near this place most of the time!
