noyaisegefyoooj 2100 trickortreaters visited his spooky house from page 1 the idea began fairly innocent ly she said it was fun ms betel said recalling her first halloween in richmond hill six years ago i tried it one year on a small scale and then each year it just progres sively grew each year i came up with a new theme i was enjoying it so much i just kept doing more and more and more every year they feel pressure to outdo the previous years show still she gets a lot of personal satis faction from it i do it because i enjoy it i get a kick out of it and its my creative release people ask is this your business no i enjoy it with so many people coming by they decided last year to use the opportunity to raise money for the canadian cancer society this year donations go to childrens wish foundation for tonia and nick natale of maple whose haunted castle draws more than 500 people the inspiration comes partly from the community its a new neighbour hood with lots of young children we have three kids of our own ms natale said they love it they look forward to it every year and my husband and i are both like kids too were young at heart we remember when we used to go to haunted houses it was a lot of fun to go through some of the houses that were really decorated so with the help of family and friends we just made it happen for the kids in the community because maple is such a nice community the house at 26 isaac murray ave has a drawbridge burning torches cemetery stuffed bodies a flying witch bodies on the roof and dry ice inside the bodies are all very still you dont know if they really move or not its the fear of the unknown its amazing she said the castle was built over three weeks and some nights theyre up until midnight working i couldnt put a price on it she said we have a lot of fun we make parties out of it we have people over its really a communi ty thing then theres david le fevre last year more than 2100 people went through his haunted house at 790 leslie valley dr in newmarket even when he held an open house the saturday before halloween 400 people showed up its constant absolutely con stant we have actors and actresses in the garage all dressed up and scare the living daylights out of the kids from grade 8 on mr le fevre said in addition to live actors the setup has coffins a ninefoot tall grim reaper coffins with live people spider webs people hid ing in a cornfield and graveyard this year they added a sixfoot inflatable pumpkin on top of the house as you walk up to the house all you hear is screams coming from the garage so that builds tension he said everything is blacklit everything is fluorescent lots of music its pretty cool he said mr le fevre and his son begin work on the house just after labour day he has no idea how much money he has put into it and doesnt want to know i really dont want to figure it out he said laughing but we keep everything we build and we build a lot of our own props illu sions such as heads on tables every year we buy something else it seems to be creeping out on to the front deck and into the front yard now but halloween is a big deal in our house he said but i think i missed my calling i should have been working for disney it started eight years ago as a way to celebrate his birthday which falls on oct 31 halloween is my birthday and i always wanted to do something weird like this he said can a highway make you a better parent what if you had an extra 60 minutes everyday to be with your children would you read them witty little books or just hang out the choice is yours if you travel on 407 etr were a faster highway so you save time time you can spend with your family instead of stuck in traffic stressing and fretting and watching your blood pressure go through
