       The History of Donovan Ville Home Haunt

 Donovan Ville Penitentiary 1st opened it's door's in 1999 but was called Donovan Ville Cemetery.  And started off as a small graveyard walk through that had grown off are large yard display that we started in 1997.  In the early year's we had a open element concept where You would walk around the entire house that we set- up to look like a large graveyard  that was full of tombstones fog static props and about 4 live actors to run the haunt and are big scare was always the Jason character with the chain saw, but those were the early days....Since the days of Donovan Ville Cemetery, the outdoor haunt has grown into a 13 room enclosed from the elements haunt with about 25 static props 11 motorized props and 5 pneumatic props and were still growing...The Haunt is a family/friend operated haunt that is totally free to the public and we usually see up to 500 guest's Halloween night. I myself have moved from my parents but we still do the haunt there because everyone in a city knows where it is. I also do a large yard display at my home that advertises the haunt at my parents house. But MoM/DaD play a big role in the operations of the haunt there one ones who keeps all the stuff running smooth from the frount of house me and the boyz run the haunt itself. Now that the haunt has grown so big we have a lot more people that make Donovan Ville come to life. We grow each year and every year are set-up is different so are guest's are left scared each and every year...

also feel free to ask any questions you may have about the Haunt or any of are props....
