Down in Lake Forest, they have to make their own fun, in the form of elaborate, expensive, rivalry-stoking, home haunted houses. Two neighboring families have been duking it out for years: "This year, Donald Julson is building a haunted maze on his parents' driveway, while across the street, Clay Stevens and his daughters will blow up a huge circus tent filled with nefarious clowns." Julson used to make fake weapons for the movies and this year is preparing a "baby barbecue." He brags that "last year three people wet their pants and four lost their retainers." Sounds fun. [SCPR]
