My story, and why I'm raising money for the American Cancer Society:

Growing up I always knew I had two half sisters, but I never met them. My sister Hillary reached out to me in 2018 and we made an instant connection. And met in person for the first time a few weeks later.

In April of 2020 my sister started feeling pain in her back but figured it was from sitting at home doing nothing, as we all were at that time. In May she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, which had metastasized from Breast Cancer she had prior to us meeting. They gave her 3 to 6 months.

My sister fought for almost 3 years, and she lived. She bought an RV who she affectionately called Dolly and traveled, seeing much of the 48 lower states over those 3 years.

During that time we became very close and I found myself in San Diego every few weeks to spend time with her and take her to get treatment between her travels. Even going on a few trips with her.

My hope through raising funds for the American Cancer Society is to help support others going through what our family did, and to hopefully find a cure for this disease.

Thank you for your support.

Review: LA Haunted Hayride 2024

Last weekend we were invited out to the 2024 version of the LA Haunted Hayride! This is one of our favorite annual traditions, right in the middle of Griffith Park. While admittedly we did prefer the old location that was more isolated, this years event was a blast and you won't be disappointed.

You can find more information on the LA Haunted Hayride here.

Welcome back to Midnight Falls

Our favorite super creepy Halloween Town is back!

The citizens of Midnight Falls are always spectacular

Our first maze of the event was Monáe Manor, or what we fondly were calling the Janelle Monaze. We all really enjoyed this new take on the classic Midnight Mortuary that has been featured at the event in previous years. It was obvious she/they had a lot of fun with this.

Hellbilly Halloween is back this year and as always is a ton of fun. One thing about the mazes at the Hayride is they are quite long.

The Carousel has gotten a nice refresh this year!

The 3rd maze is the classic Trick or Treat. While we really enjoy this one, we do miss when it was actually "Trick or Treating" through the maze. It was always fun to ring all of the doorbells and see the characters. Hopefully they'll bring this back sometime.

Of course the main attraction is the Hayride itself.

We absolutely loved the Hayride this year. While we do miss when this used to be 20-25 minutes long, a HUGE kudos to them actually putting benches in the trailers this year. It makes the experience MUCH more comfortable.

As always, the best part of any event like this is hanging out with our dear friends and Haunt Crew from HorrorBuzz, Theme Park Duo and Haunt Photoblography.

We love our haunt crew, they're just the best. (photo credit: Albert Lam)
