South Orange County's most terrifying haunt experience! Weekends in October, 2022.
Operating as usual
We got a visit today from THE Kristy Ellison from Moreno Manor who stopped by to pick up the Manor’s new dragon that the Wraith has been Dragon-Sitting for a few weeks. We missed each other, as the Wraith was out for Mother’s Day late lunch - so Bloody Sweet had to act as doorman while we were away. See you at Midsummer Scream, Kristy!
Fortunate to visit Brother Ryan and Brother Shane from 9-16 Productions and the best haunt in Houston (and all of Texas IMO) Purgatory Scream Park. Finally had the chance to bring Tito to see how a premiere haunt operation is run, and spend time with our close haunt fam. Met a new friend - Sue Jones-Gray, the lovely and vivacious curator of Graystone Haunted Manor in Longview. Sue is so much fun, and we look forward to the opportunity to visit with her again. Ryan and Bonnie, and ShaneandCaroline, we love all y’all and can’t wait to come back soon - thanks again for the hospitality!
Last day with Tito at TW one week ago today. Another year, another great haul, because of her incredible creativity. I’m the luckiest dad ever…
The Wraith could not have had a better TW2022, except to have been able to stay to the end. We had a lot of biz to transact, and remain bummed that it interfered with our ability to catch up with all of our extended haunt fam and friends. It was great seeing George Frangadakis and his crew from Immortal Masks - and we nabbed a mask and system that will make the Wraith’s toxic waste field even more terrifying. Equally awesome was meeting Mike Castro from Madness FX and adding two of his insane silicone masks to the Wraith’s carnival. We were finally able to meet in person Joe Buscarino from Strega Moon Productions and witness the genius of that company and its cinema quality props (picked up a bleeder heart and some intestines for the dining room scene while we were at it!). Obtained our first Beastcraft animatronic, which will grace the Wraith’s graveyard. Caught up with Anthony from Original Sin Design and couldn’t pass up acquiring one of his most awesome bloody ladies. Met and started working with Jason and his group of amazing artists from MM Fabrications, who, along with Madness FX, is helping us introduce one of the cutest and most evil clowns to our horde - a sweetheart who slays with a smile known as “Watermelon Sugar”. And as always, catching up with Michael Chailee and his crew of artisans from Ghost Ride, and our boys from 9-16 Productions, was the highlight of the show. Check out 916’s new moss product (nothing else like it out there) and new line of UV stains. Along with their rusting effect (which is unmatched in the industry) and non-UV stains, 916 is unstoppable. Now we just have to anxiously bide time until the new mayhem arrives to further enhance Orange County’s Most Terrifying Haunted Experience!

TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show 9-16 Productions Purgatory Scream Park
So many awesome things to consider for the haunt….. Today was looking, tomorrow is acquisition. TransWorld's definitely gets Tito’s creativity in high gear, but the motivation is always the same - to scare the holy hell out of Wraith House’s guests…..
Three days ago, Meghan and I flew home from work in Las Vegas. Tomorrow, Dad and Tito are flying to TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show. Dad first exposed Tito to Halloween when she was a little bee and her sis Rhiannon was a little fairy princess, when we lived in Southlake, Texas. Who knew that the little bee would end up directing all those awesome scare actors while she is still in high school in Orange County, CA, and that little fairy princess would end up at the The University of Arizona? Dad was known as “Gut Man” at the time. The girls called the mask “Scary Face” (but I don’t know if they were actually talking about the mask, or the mug underneath it). Tito and Rhi continue to be super cuties. Dad continues to fight the Battle of the (Gut) Bulge. Still, the mind boggles…..
The Wraith will be at TW this year!! Tito (shown here in one of her earliest zombie apocalypse personas) and dad are zipping in for two days to catch up with our extended haunt fam and to get some more crazy for this year’s haunt!). Can’t wait! 9-16 Productions Purgatory Scream Park Ghost Ride Productions, INC. Aliso Niguel Theatre Company Aliso Niguel High School TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show A Haunted House
These are pics of the Wraith’s friends Rainbow Twitch and @craven sic, who are both up for scare actor of the year, in Groups B and C at www.scurryface.com. Both are inspirations and mentors to our actors, dear friends of Wraith House, and represent the best in scare acting for haunts nationwide. They both appear yearly at the best haunt in all of Texas, Purgatory Scream Park in the greater Houston metroplex, (and just maybe, if we’re lucky, at Wraith House 2022!). Drop over to ScurryFace and give ‘em both a vote before Sunday, March 6 at 11 am Pacific time. Let’s show ‘em some love Aliso Niguel Theatre Company, Aliso Niguel High School, Haunted Orange County, A Haunted House, ScareActor! #wraithhouse #scareactor #scurryface #homehaunters
So proud of my daughter Tito….
The Wraith visited Aliso Niguel Theatre Company tonight at its Broadway Night show. Our Artistic Director Tito Murphey presented a check to the Director of the theatre company for $2,500, which will be used for props and electronics for the Company. Many of the student actors had roles in Wraith House 2021, and we look forward to partnering with them and Aliso Niguel High School again for 2022.
Thanks for the sticker, Classie Greene!
Fear not, skull chandelier and blood bath zombie…. Only 358 days until next Halloween…..
Sigh….. 🙁😞😩
Best cast and crew ever - Wraith House 2021. What a season! Last night we had another record crowd and a visit by award-winning documentarian Linda Palmer-Cardone and her husband Mark for live footage of our haunt in progress. We simply could not have pulled this year off without everyone who supported us and made our visions come to life - 9-16 Productions, Ryan Glasgow, ShaneandCaroline Glasgow, Ghost Ride, Immortal Masks, Distortions Unlimited, DC Props, NightScream Studios, Rainbow Twitch, Purgatory Scream Park, Spellbound FX and Art, Chaoseum, Dead Rabbit Studios, Strega Moon Productions, Aliso Niguel Theatre Company, Aliso Niguel High School, and especially my brother John Murphey and his awesome wife Pat who flew out from Houston to make all this crazy come together, and Heather Kruse and her dashing husband Dr. Torsten Kruse, who is not only a brilliant physician, but the Wraith’s intimidating butcher named “Schlecht,” a favorite of crowds and crew alike. Now comes the depressing dismantling. We’ll be back and bigger than ever next year, in a new home and with expanded performance dates. More pics and vids from 2021 coming soon. #HauntedHouse #HalloweenObsessed #Halloween #LagunaNiguelCA #OrangeCountyCA.
Night 2 was unbelievable! Another attendance record for Wraith House! Tomorrow night is a wrap on the 2021 haunt season, culminating in the “Wraithys” awards for our actors and crew. Guests came from as far New Jersey, Colorado, Texas and Arizona to see us, and we could not be more grateful. We are even more grateful for our dear friends and consultants Ryan Glasgow and ShaneandCaroline Glasgow from 9-16 Productions, who have truly taken us to the next level and readied us to go pro next year. We are all exhausted, but could not be more proud and happy!!
A fantastic opening night for Wraith House! A new record for attendance! We look forward to seeing you tonight for Night Two! Get your reservations now! www.wraithhouse.net
This is the Director’s Award, one of the “Wraithys” given to our actors after we close on the 31st. Two more days until opening night!
We could not be more grateful than to have had our mentors and dear friends Ryan Glasgow and ShaneandCaroline Glasgow from 9-16 Productions and Purgatory Scream Park visiting the Wraith and bringing our inspirations to life. These men are geniuses and unbelievably talented Haunted Houses designers and builders. They also gave an interview about the story of their haunts, both home and eventually pro (becoming the number 1 rated https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/terrifying-tours-purgatory-scream-park-haunted-house-kingwood/285-2973b21d-7c16-4714-bad7-a1ffaa670781 haunt in Houston, Texas,) as well as Linda Palmer-Cardone’s soon-to-be-premiered show, @Haunt Obsessed #Texashaunters #CalHaunts #HauntedHouse #Haunters #HauntedAttraction #Halloween #ThisWeekInTexas #Ingobernal #CasaDePapel

A good day for Wraith House. Avulsed hands, feet, fingers and toes are easy to make now. The Wraith was built, and will soon be painted and dressed to greet folks out front starting opening night, October 29.
Gettin’ love from our favorite psycho clown Rainbow Twitch. Thanks Christina for the zombie skin! Jordan can’t wait to try it out! 💜💜
Our first Platsil 10 hand…..
Making hands, fingers and feet from monster mud and platsil. Only haunters….. 🤣🤣🤣
Tito and I are about to be interviewed on the “Bat Chat” podcast. You can find it on the Apple app for podcasts.
FINALLY!! After twice having our online order for the HD 12’ skelly canceled without explanation, at 6:30 am this morning (after getting a tip from a cool employee on Sunday) we bought it. First one sold at the Laguna Niguel store. This skelly will become the Wraith and hail folks at the entrance.
Makeup training today with Rainbow Twitch. She gave such great tips and advice to Jordan and our newest SFX artist in training, Corrie. Thanks again, Twitch! Plus, this year’s t-shirts arrived today. Tito is modeling last year’s and this year’s is an ode to our beneficiary for 2021, Aliso Niguel Theatre Company at Aliso Niguel High.
Our first scare actor training for the 2021 season with Christina Murphy, a/k/a Rainbow Twitch. So thankful to have Chris working with our actors to prepare them for what is going to be our biggest season yet!
Rebuild of the hallway, more makeup, final production meeting on reshoots for the Wraith’s 2021 haunt vid…..
