Hallows Eve Inc started in 2015 as a backyard home haunt. With the limited funds and resources they had, mainly thin walls, plastic tarps and fright props from the Spirit store, they were able to put together a fun, family home haunt that everyone in the community loved and talked about.

Since then, each year for Hallows Eve Inc has progressed to ‘bigger & better’ with visual effects, sounds and longer, scarier maze walk throughs.

2020 was set to open their first professional haunt at the Lake Elsinore Naval Academy, however, due to Covid, it became unrealistic. Everything was shut down, but even that did not detour us. They opened their largest home haunt ever which encompassed both the front and back yards collectively. It became a home haunt block party which included blocking off the cul-de-sac, rented outhouses and more than 2,500 guests thru the month of October being entertained with little more than “word of mouth” advertising.

In October 2021, Hallows Eve Inc dream of opening a professional haunt was realized. Deadwater State Penitentiary opened up at Launch Pointe in Lake Elsinore with professional effects, lights and sounds that did not disappoint.
