2009 HORROR ON FRANKEL STREET INFORMATION: This year’s haunt is titled, “The Dark Carnival.” Here is is the back story for the 2009 theme:
“Rumor has it that carnival trucks and trains have been spotted all over Lakewood and surrounding cities. Witnesses say that the carnival equipment and carnies that they see are different than the shows that normally come into town. The carnival has been described as much “darker”. They all seem to be headed toward the grounds of Horror on Frankel St. We will keep you posted.”

2008 HORROR ON FRANKEL STREET NEWS: This amateur yard haunt celebrated its tenth year with a brand new themed maze, “Scarecrow Village,” which promises to take visitors back to the time of a dust-bowl, to a town shut off from the rest of the world – until now.
HORROR ON FRANKEL STREET HISTORY: Proprietor Steve Cometa started in 1998, hiding behind a bush and scaring kids after they got candy at the front door. Since then, Horror on Frankel Street has grown into a 2-3 minute walk-through maze.
HORROR ON FRANKEL STREET GENERAL INFORMATION: This amateur effort might be better terms a “garage haunt” – the maze takes you through not only the back yard but also the garage. By the standards of amateur haunts, it is fairly densely populated with monsters: there were eight monsters lurking on the night we attended (that’s more than you get on slow nights at some professional haunts.
TIP: Frankel Street is not too far from the 710 freeway, so this haunt might be a nice place to stop off on your way to Queen Mary Shipwreck.
