Wyandotte Jaycees Haunted House ROBBED
Local Jaycees Haunted House Robbed
The Wyandotte Jaycees are a community based service organization who have been devoting their time to build a haunted house in Wyandotte like they do every year. Someone broke in Tuesday night and stole over $9,000 worth of tools and materials from the inside of the Nightmare Sanctum Haunted House located at 1096 Biddle Avenue , Wyandotte, Michigan 48192. Most of the members have full time Jobs and volunteer after work to build the Haunted House, and Many leave their tools behind. Local Police say that most likely the Break In was not a random crime and that the thief knew the tools would be left behind.
Haunted House will still Open
The Wyandotte Jaycees are still determined to open on time on October 4, 2012, regardless of this setback. These guys put on one heck of a good show. I have many fond memories from my youth visiting their haunted houses. be sure to visit them if you are in the area, and tell them DarkSyde Acres said Best wishes this Halloween season!
Note to The thief
Dear Lowlife scum of the earth Thief. I’m sure Life must suck bad enough for you, that you would have to resort to a life of petty crime to support whatever habit you are enjoying at the moment. Being a petty thief is pretty low, but you have managed to drop it one step lower by stealing from a charity group, that only wants to better their community. Best wishes in your career choice.

Halloween Stats
Halloween spending on the rise!
While Watching the Fox 2 Morning news out of Detroit, I seen a wonderful segment, that claimed Halloween spending is on the rise for 2012. Thats GREAT NEWS! Halloween is the second most popular Holiday next to Christmas and the Second highest revenue generating Holiday just under Christmas. Sources were projecting 9 million dollars in sales for the 2012 Halloween season! Fox 2 reported that the average person will spend nine dollars more this year on halloween than in 2011, thats an amazing growth. Ive gathered a collection of Stats online for the 2011 halloween season. I bet you will be surprised at some of the numbers generated by Halloween and Haunted Houses.
The numbers
41 Million Trick or Treaters between the ages of five and fourteen are estimated to take part in the Halloween tradition of going door to door to receive tricks or treats, that may seem like a large number but now add in the Trick or treaters that are under the age of five and older than the age of fourteen, heck I didnt stop trick or treating until I was 17. As Large as that Number is, it pales in comparision to the number of estimated Houses that the Tot’ers can visit, There are a estimated 116.7 million occupied homes in the U.S all potential stops for those costumed clad lil beggars. On each of those porches sit Pumpkins which add up to 1.1 BILLION pounds of pumpkins per Halloween season.
Costumes and More
Parents buying costumes for the children will spend a whopping one billion dollars, while spending another 1.21 Billion on buying costumes for themselves, BUT thats not all People will spend over THREE MILLION dollars buying Costumes for their pets! 22.9% of Americans will visit their Local Haunted House this year generating between 300 and 500 Million dollars, a HUGE boost to any Local economy Im sure…. Be sure to get our there and visit your Local Haunted Attractions!

Special Preview opening was a great Success!
DarkSyde Acres Haunted House and Attractions open our gates for a special Preview opening on September 22,2012 this past saturday, to give our guests a sneak peek of what we have in store for them this 2012 Halloween season.

If our special preview opening was of any indication of how the 2012 season will be, we are looking for one heck of a lot of wet underwear this year. 🙂
