ATTENTION ALL BUILDERS!!

RICK CAN’T DO THIS ALONE 😢

We have a barn. We have a haunt. We have Rick.

What we don’t have… is enough builders.

Big Shop of Horrors needs volunteers to help us turn an empty barn into a nightmare.

Handy? Willing to help? Know someone who is? Tag them. Share this. Save Rick’s back.

👻 Build starts September 23.

Do it for Rick.

Just a little pre haunt Tetris 😂📏

When you’ve got a whole crew of makeup artists, costume designers and volunteers to house, you need some BIG boxes.
