The Code Brown Dynamic: Advice and Insights for Home Haunters
At The DuBois Family Haunted House Your Terror Is Our Pleasure
That was the slogan for the backyard haunted attraction I successfully created, built, and managed as a hobby for over 20 years. Two 20’x20’ tents with additional bumpouts at either end and another raised area in between. A fully enclosed, fully immersive, “choose your own adventure” haunted experience filled with at least 20 actors. A 10 night season for the last four years during which 1200+ people attended.
2024 was our final season EVER.
Our last few nights in business and during the entire breakdown process I felt incredibly sad, excited, comforted and proud all at the same time. To create an oddly surreal stew of emotions.
To document the lifetime of the DuBois Family Haunted House while sorting through my feelings, I wrote down my memories, my reflections, the lessons I learned, and how I succeeded at something I was passionate about yet had no clue how to accomplish at its onset. This book, The Code Brown Dynamic was the end result. I hope you enjoy what I learned and shared here whether you’re a fellow haunter looking for tips and insights, a fan of all things scary and Halloweeny like me, or a father looking to form solid connections and long-term memories with his children. There’s a little something in here for everyone.
