House at Haunted Hill 2009 Dates

This fabulous yard haunt begins on October 27 and runs through October 31. Hours are 7:00pm utnil 10:00pm on weekdays; 7:00pm until midnight on Friday & Saturday. Be sure to check the weather before you drive out – the spirits do not come out in the rain! 

 The House at Haunted Hill features an impressive array of mechanical and lighting effects timed to a pre-recorded dramatic show, complete with narration, dialogue, and music. The story, reprised from the 2007 and 2008 haunts, tells the woeful tale of young Hollywood hopeful who marries the wrong man – his vengeful late wife returns from the grave to ruin the wedding night. You do not have to arrive at the exact scheduled start times in order to see the show, but it helps.

If you want to get a bit of the flavor of what House at Haunted Hill has to offer, check out Hollywood Gothique’s video visit to the 2006 incarnation. This is before the haunt morphed into a dramatic presentation that timed all its effects to the pre-recorded narrative, but many of the props and visuals are the same.
