11 Boise Area Homemade Haunts To Terrify You This Halloween
We all know someone who loves Halloween. Maybe they love Halloween more than an adult actually should. They have more than one costume. They dress up in a different one for each day of Halloween Week. They probably have an obsession with horror movies and were really into The Walking Dead when that was a thing. Many of these people's love for Halloween doesn't end with dressing up and going to horror movies.
In every neighborhood in the Treasure Valley, there is one house that has a great Halloween display in its yard. They spent a lot of time and a lot of money on these displays. They probably have a great Christmas display, too. Another group of people work all year on their Halloween display. Then, just when you think they've done it all, they turn their yard and garage into an actual haunted house.
There are actual businesses that put on real haunted houses. Places like Requium and Haunted World in Caldwell charge $20 and $30 per person. But, the homemade haunted house is usually free, and they're put on by these Halloween lovers who aren't in it for the money; they're in it for the love of the game. They want to hear you scream and love to hear how much you loved walking through their scary garage.
While some neighbors might think that the neighborhood haunted house is annoying, plenty of others see it as bringing the community together. They try to provide a safe, fun experience for the kids and families in the neighborhood and create a good gathering place for everyone on the street.
