Haunted Toy Run

Haunted House staff and crew took the day off to do a little shopping for the Holidays. After watching a story on a local news station about how the economy was effecting toy donations, Boneyard staffers organized a shopping trip and proceeded to fill their carts with toys.

Our goal was to fill three pick-up trucks with as many toys, games and bicycles as we could. As our team started filling shopping cars it didn't take long to get the attention of the store managers and security as well. After a brief Q&A we were back on task with the help and support of the store employees.

We loaded up our Haunted House trucks and made our way to a local drop-off location where WFAA Ch8 News had organized a "Toy Drive" with other local businesses. We arrived to a full choir, band and a large cow handing out "Chick Fil-A" Sandwiches. And of course the Big Guy himself "Santa" was on site.

Hats off to WFAA and their sponsors for hosting the event and going out of their way to make sure this Christmas will be a happy experience for children of all ages here in North Texas.

Decorating for the Holidays

Decorating for the Boneyard Haunted House annual Toys for Tots drive. Each year we hold a Christmas party inside the Haunted House - admission is a new unwrapped toy. 2011 marks our fourth year to collect Toys for the U.S. Marine Corps.
This year a crew of volunteers hit the ground running to help transform the scariest haunted house in Texas into a winter wonderland. Over 30 trees, oversized ornaments and too many lights to count round out the decorations.

The Human Shield

This has to be one of the most common occurrences I see at the Boneyard Haunted House. Friday night October the 15th 2011 I am at the exit of the Haunt getting customer feedback, how was it? What was your favorite actor? etc. So I approach this one couple and start to ask my standard questions when the Husband starts in.. " Well it was OK, I guess... Nothing much scares me" and the whole time his wife has that look in her eye, (if your married, you know what I mean) So, the wife stays quite during her husbands speech, and then tells me that it was great as she grabs her husbands arm and leads him to their car.

So, I make note of the time and after we close for the night I decide to review the video footage from our "Haunt-Cam" and guess who I find using his wife as a human shield? Yep! Mr. "It wasn't that scary" This guy not only grabs his wife, Yanks her in front. he then hides his head behind her shoulder. The best part of the entire thing. His wife never threw him under the bus. She just stood there and let him tell his story.. {Or at least till they got in the car}

Haunted House QR Codes

QR Codes have been around since 1994, originally used for tracking parts in the automotive industry, Quick Response Codes were slow to make their way into the consumer market. It wasn't until the widespread use of smart phones that the codes began showing up in public.



We first started using Quick Response Codes for promotional tracking in 2009, a very basic code that directed users to our website www.theBoneyard.org. Our plan was to place the code on print advertisement and business cards. Almost immediately we met with resistance, printers had not seen them before, they could not guaranty the codes would scan in their ads. Bottom line - people fear the unknown. On top of that very few smart phone users at the time were familiar with the codes and were reluctant to download the needed app. Read More
