Day31FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the Day31 Haunt?
The Day31 Haunted House is a haunted attraction located at
the private residence of the Comstock family in Temecula,
California. We open our event to the public on Halloween
night and invite you as guests of ours to experience our
haunted attraction. By choosing to visit our home, we ask that
you follow all Haunt rules and respect the time and money we
put into creating Day31.

Is there an admission fee?
As long as the location of Day31 remains at a private residence,
we will not require a monetary admission fee. We will require a
token donation of 3 pieces of Halloween candy or 1 full sized
candy bar in order to enter on Halloween night. Any cash
donations will be accepted but are not required. 100% of any
money raised will be used for upgrades to the haunted house
and props for next year.

This looks like fun. Can I volunteer to help?
Yes, if you are interested in helping out, email me and let me
know. Burial plots are still available for the Day31 Crew.
Since 2005, the Day31 Haunt has been constructed and
operated by a close circle of relatives and friends, but as the
Haunt grows, so do its needs. No fancy prop will ever be an
adequate substitute for a live actor. Volunteers must be 18 years
of age or older and be willing to make safety their number one
priority. Having a great time is a very close second. Yes, you
can bring a friend or friends and work as a team.

Is there an age restriction?
It will be left to the discretion of parents to decide whether
Day31 is an appropriate experience for their younger children.
All children are unique, and mom and dad know their children
best. No children under 12 will be admitted without a parent or
adult guardian present. Day31 is meant to be a fun experience
for all guests and is intended to celebrate the spirit of Halloween
and our innate facination with things that invoke fear.
Subjecting a child to an experience against their will that may
cause psychological trauma and/or nightmares is NOT what
Day31 is about and is highly discouraged. For hesitent parents
of young children, visit our Fear Free Chicken Run on
Thursday, October 29th.

Where is Day31 located?
The Day31 Haunted Attraction is located at 39386 Canyon Rim
Circle in Temecula, CA. We are only a few miles from the
Promenade Mall. In addition to our main event, we will hold a
Fear Free Chicken Run for small children and their families
(dates and times for 2010 to be announced). For detailed
directions please follow this link: Location.

What an unusual hobby, are you crazy or
weird?
Yes and Definitely.

How much does all this cost?
Thousands of dollars are invested in the haunt each year, and it
grows a little bigger and a little better every season as a result.
To give you an idea, we have more than $400 invested in the
screws that hold all the walls together alone! Commercial grade
Halloween props can cost tens of thousands of dollars, but
thanks to the shared ideas of hundreds of other home haunters
throughout the country, many great props can be duplicated for
a fraction of the cost. If you would like to get into the home
haunting hobby, check out the great How-To sites on my
LINKS page. Also feel free to email me with any questions, as I
am always happy to help out another Halloween enthusiast.

I have a question or suggestion!
Great! Email me.

How long does this take to set up?
Elements of the Day31 Haunt are planned and worked on all
year long, but in 2009 the framing and structure started going up
in early September. The tear down is done in various stages and
will generally take about 1 month to reach completion. Follow
the progress of the haunt build on the Day31 Blog Page.

What types of jobs are available for
volunteers?
What do you like to do? Whether you prefer to be the center of
attention or trigger scares from behind walls, there is a place for
you on the team.

Where do you store everything?
I am currently able to store my haunted house and props in the
rafters of my garage and the side of my house beneath tarps.
Organizing and storing this much material is a tedious and labor
intensive task, and it is my least favorite aspect of doing my
haunted house.

Why Do you Haunt?
The Day31 Haunt is a labor of love, not only for the Halloween
holiday, but also for the creative process that goes into making it
a reality. Day31 is also a tribute to the restless spirits of the I.E.
Killer's many faceless victims who you can read more about on
