Haunted houses are a neighborhood thing. This year is the 40th year Janet Penner and her family have been decorating. It started when her boys were in high school as a simple lamp under a sheet and Disney’s Halloween music blasting through speakers -- but now it’s evolved to a multiple week-long production with as many as 12 actors on Halloween night. Greg Penner gave The Beacon a quick tour through the exhibits, giving us some background. “The most satisfying thing is seeing it up and running,” Chris Penner said.
“There will be black light here to light up all the spider webs.”

“You can’t see it because of the reflection, but there’s Baby Flambe who's been a fixture for years -- you get that rotisserie going.”
- Greg Penner
“If we get enough man power there’ll be a person, here, doing creepy scary things”
- Greg Penner
“We made some of those way back when we were in high school -- back before we knew how to use a saw.”
- Greg Penner
