For the last fifty years, the Children’s Museum Guild’s Haunted House has entertained families across the United States with a combination of clever artistry and scary touches that bring visitors back year after year. It's always amazing to see the Guild's 100 volunteers bring Halloween to life in a unique way. Over the last 50 years visitors have been “trick or treated” to such unusual haunt experiences as houses, camps, hotels, towns and villages, outer space, castles and the sea.
In 2013, to celebrate its milestone 50th birthday, the Children’s Museum Guild’s Haunted House will take visitors through five “deadcades” of music, movies, television, and history through a trip in a terrifying Time Warp! Haunted House visitors will explore 50 years of fear as Ghoulish Guide Dr. Timestein guides visitors through decades of petrifying pop culture. Watch a haunted history unfold in front of your eyes as you explore iconic events like the lunar landing, disco, arcades, MTV, coffee houses and the birth of the Internet through a haunted lens.
Turning fifty no longer means old—it means BETTER! This year some of the most iconic brands in the United States turn 50. Michael Jordan, Porsche 911 and Crate and Barrel are a few such icons that are getting better with age. This certainly holds true for the Children’s Museum Guild’s iconic Haunted House—its 50th anniversary makes it the longest-running Haunted House in the United States.
As the Children’s Museum Guild prepares to usher in a new era of haunting, we want to hear from you. Are you one of the 2.5 million people who have visited the Haunted House over the last five decades? What is your favorite memory of the Children’s Museum Guild Haunted House? Share your story and help the Guild celebrate 50 years of spooky success!
