The Haunt

10/16/2026

Puppets runs till 9p tonight, then the doors are open to the public!

Stop on out…

Join us tomorrow night, from 7-11p as we celebrate Des Moines' Legend of Halloween... Merlyn Linn the creator of Linn's Haunted House

Info is here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DW3YntHmd/

Merlyn Linn was a great inspiration to us here in the world of The Slaughterhouse Haunted Attraction and The Haunt.

We would visit his Halloween creation every October for as long as we can remember.

It is hard to believe he won’t be pulling the string on that spooky old spider at the end of his haunted house this year. But we have a feeling, he will be there… somewhere between the walls, waiting to trap us in the box. Linn's Haunted House

Tuesday, October 13th we will hold a toast to Merlyn at The Haunt from 7-11p.

Join us in remembering this Master of Halloween.
