Scottsdale haunted house draws massive crowds

In Scottsdale, the family behind one long-time spooky tradition, they're doing everything they can to keep those screams coming. Hopefully they're weatherproof because it's going to be wet out there. For more than four decades, though, this haunted house at a home near Indian Bend and Hayden Roads has been a must-see for Halloween seekers. Megan Spector gives us a look. Halloween is one day away, and this Scottsdale home has transformed into the ultimate haunted house. So we're here with Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn's dad has been putting this together for quite a few years now. Tell me how he started this. He started when he was 14 years old in 1983. It was just a couple gravestones that he put out in the yard. And now 40 years later, it's turned into this massive thing that the entire community gets involved in. So we really love it. When people come here, what can they expect to see? It's going to be intense. We don't recommend under 13, but they can see anything from the Lost Dutchman Mine theme based off the Superstition Spring Mountains. We have homages to the Shining Hotel, the Overlook Hotel. We also have a massive telephone booth room, laser swamps all throughout. And then we also have a few homages to the Haunted Mansion. Obviously it's taken quite a few years to gather all the elements. It's been a long time coming like everything that you're seeing right now is not stuff that we've just like put together in a year. It really is over 40 years and a lot of this stuff he's hand built himself. So he's extremely talented and just finding a really cool creative vision and he loves doing a lot of illusions throughout his haunts so that's really awesome. We've seen the lines, community members, all around, neighbors, they come just for this haunted house. It's kind of insane. It's gotten to a really, really big level, which we are so grateful for and we love. The line is usually at least an hour long, up to two, and it wraps around the entire block. So we're about three houses in, and so it'll go to the next street. We're having some spooky weather one day before Halloween. What have you seen walking through your haunted house today? It's a little wet. It's a little muddy. We're hoping to kind of clear everything up. Everyone says this year they've had over 10,000 people make their way through the haunted house. And remember, tomorrow night on Halloween, it's the last chance to check it out. Reporting in Scottsdale, Megan Spector, Fox 10 News.
