Cal Haunts NorCal is more than a Halloween haunted house, its a hands-on space that shows others skills in foam fabrication, decorating, and animatronics that are integral to their many scare tactics. Robert Santos shows these frightening spooks and props at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011.

This is awesome. This is the exact type of thing I want my users to see.
Great episode! October was a little busy for us in CalHauntS NorCal but we finally saw it after a successful 2012 Maker Faire!!
Any chance we can get the URL here and on the YouTube page changed from Robert’s personal haunt to the Club site which is http://calhauntsnorcal.com/
Mantooth Manor is the URL for Robert’s yard haunt, which is awesome. But the booth and what he is talking about is CalHauntS NorCal, a club where all of us with our own yard haunts teach each other how to build things that we then use in our haunts. Robert will confirm the change if you need that.
Thanks!
Also, most of the info in the blurb below the video is wrong even though the info in the video is totally right. CalHauntS is not 1 haunted house, it is hundreds. We are a club of people who haunt our yards, garages, patios, balcony’s etc for the kids on and around Halloween. We get together throughout the year at people’s houses and teach each other how to build props and more for our own haunted houses. We move our meetings around to whoever’s house is willing to host. The correct URL is http://calhauntsnorcal.com
