Haunted Graveyard Displays Its Unique Giving Spirit
The McNall Family has found a truly unique way to celebrate the Halloween Holiday. Partnering with Eli McKinney from I.G. Designs, Inc. and Daniel McNall from Daniel Paul Designs, the McNalls have turned their front yard into a haunted graveyard of epic proportions.
The graveyard is a fully automated computer controlled attraction which features 4 different shows each between 3 and 5 minutes. The shows include over 60 channels of lighting effects, spotlights, theatrical fixtures, high powered black lights, and strobes with multiple audio tracks and HD video projection with custom animation. The production equipment, gear, set up, and designs were donated by the two sponsoring companies I.G. Designs and Daniel Paul Designs all in the name of helping kids with cancer.
This means that each show is sure to delight and bring out the inner Halloween in everyone. "Kids who might be scared by traditional haunted houses won't be scared here," says Jim McNall, homeowner and head of the McNall clan. "Nothing scary jumps out at you or tries to grab you," McNall continued, "it's just a really cool way to celebrate the holiday and give back at the same time."
The McNall family's giving spirit is big part of what makes this Halloween display so special. The McNalls are taking donations from visitors and giving those to the MACC Fund. "We're remembering kids who can't be out trick-or-treating this year by helping the MACC Fund help their doctors." said Jim.
The shows are free and donations are not required. "We're just trying to help, if we can, and we hope other people will feel the same way." The attraction extends from now until Halloween. The 3 to 5 minute shows will run continuously between the hours of operation (listed below).
