A Lake Country mom乌鸦传媒檚 interest in Halloween makeup gradually grew into something the whole community can enjoy.
Danielle Weiss, and her husband TJ are hosting their fourth annual Halloween Haunter, at their place at 12588 Lake Vista Crt.
Each year, the couple transforms their three-car garage into a spooky haunted house.
乌鸦传媒淚t started out just as a passion. I convinced my husband to construct it and it was designed乌鸦传媒� for friends and family and over the years, our girls are in it and our friends and neighbour乌鸦传媒檚 kids participate in it and they乌鸦传媒檙e in there and they scare people,乌鸦传媒� Danielle said.

It only takes about two minutes to go through, she said, but contains about 14 different rooms.
乌鸦传媒淓very year seems to get a little bit better and it乌鸦传媒檚 a lot of fun,乌鸦传媒� she said.
The idea for a haunted house started when Danielle joined a local ball team. The team would hold a Halloween dance as a fundraiser, and she enjoyed experimenting with Halloween makeup.
乌鸦传媒淏eing a part of the ball team, I always wanted to do something creepy, participate in the makeup that way,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淚t really started at home with the girls, they were little so they wanted to do cute things but I started to experiment and I乌鸦传媒檇 look on Youtube and I乌鸦传媒檇 watch tutorials so I did it as an interest.乌鸦传媒�
As a fan of horror, she began to expand her tastes and decided to decorate her garage after a trip to Universal Studios乌鸦传媒� Horror Night.
The pair had never done something prior to that on a large scale, but Danielle wanted to try.
It was such a hit with friends that she continued for the next four years, and now the whole family is involved. Her two daughters, 13, and 15, enjoy scaring people.
The haunter is open to the public, Friday, Saturday and Halloween night on Wednesday from 6:30 to 10 p.m.
