OUR WORK
Meet Dave & Jacob Larson
The Creators of Pirate's Cave Haunt
New to the neighborhood, Dave started
the unofficial Pirate's Cave back in 1999.
The first year Dave simply stood out in the front yard with a "Phantom of the Opera" mask and a shovel, and ever since then the haunt has been evolving.

In 2004, his son Jacob was born into the haunt life. Over the years, Jacob grew a strong passion for Halloween and slowly began to help his dad more and more every year to construct the annual haunted house at their home.
In 2019 during the COVID lockdowns, we I designed & created an 8-minute multi-screen live stage show with 8 live actors. It all took place in our front yard! The show included 18 DMX lights, 2 video screens, water effects, air effects, and fog machines that was all programmed from a central show controller. Over 3,000 people attended the event over 6 nights. The event was set up to comply with state-wide COVID concerns. The show received numerous positive reviews.
In 2021 we went back to our old formula and designed & created a walkthrough haunted attraction. We challenged ourselves to ramp up the immersive and story driven experience for the guests. The event was 3X the size of our previous walkthroughs. The highlights being: computer controlled simulated elevator, dropping bridge, and DMX lighting. 4,700 people attended the event over 9 nights and the attraction received numerous accolades.
