2006 saw some new *really cool* stuff. Wireless prop control technology, LED-based lighting for nearly everything (which is why there are so few pictures - the rooms were very dark), Character development, a kick-butt acting staff, and of course, one of the most fun years we have ever had. The season was a rousing success, even with the cold and rain that didn't seem to leave us alone. There's always 2007, I guess.

As we push further into the planning, construction, and technical preperation for the 2005 haunt, this section will have faily regular updates of photos from events, prop building days, test runs, and much more! If you were ever curious as to what we do the rest of the year, this section is for you. I think you will be pleasantly suprised when you see just how sick we are with our addiction to Halloween!

We are still in the process of collecting all the photos from Frightmare Forest 2004, so there's not much to see here but check back in a bit!

The 2003 season was another step forward for us. Our attendance doubled from the year before, and we expanded our trail and volunteer base. In accordance with what we always do, the entire haunt from 2002 was demolished, and rebuilt from the ground up.

This year, the Cedar Rapids Gazette listed the Frightmare Forest as the only haunted attraction in their annual "Top 10 Things to do in Eastern Iowa in the Fall" feature that ran in early fall of 2003. This was entirely unexpected, but wholeheartedly welcomed! Hopefully, we will make that list again in 2004! Check out additional press we have received in years past in our press section.

Just like in previous years, the volunteers we had were nothing short of phenomenal! Huge thanks go out to the staff who accepted scripted parts. They manipulated those parts into something that was really terrifying to those who were paying attention. Of course, it’s hard to pay attention when you are constantly looking over your shoulder for the next ghoul! Along those lines, the rest of our actors were equally terrifying jumping out from the dark corners and recesses of the forest!

We successfully raised the bar for local haunted attractions and have stepped up as the premiere haunt in Eastern Iowa. In 2003, we more then doubled our record for the number of urinations ("wettings") in the haunt. With an official tally of 37 confirmed wettings, expect to see that double in 2004!
