About Us
Enter, if you dare—or if the moonlight calls your name!
Every October, HOWL’d rises with the harvest moon and the echo of distant howls, beckoning brave souls to wander our whimsically wicked world. As lanterns flicker and shadows stretch long, our humble home transforms into a playground of eerie delights, where chills and laughter dance together in the crisp night air.
In the yard haunt, young ghouls and seasoned spirits alike will encounter glowing pumpkins, watchful creatures, and enchanted corners filled with gentle frights for all ages. But for those bold enough to follow the call of the howl, the haunted house awaits—its twisting corridors and shadowy chambers promising ghostly surprises that test even the bravest hearts.
Admission to HOWL’d is always free—though the lanterns burn brighter when fed by your offerings. Every donation helps summon next year’s magic, and when the final howl fades into the night, a portion is gifted to local charities—because even in the shadows, kindness shines.
A word of caution to those who dare to wander near – we are but mere mortals dwelling in a residential domain, a haunting ground for the brave and curious. Approach with reverence and respect, lest the spirits of the night awaken and cast their spectral gaze upon thee!
The History of HOWL'd
The History of HOWL'd
In the year of 2011, a chilling haunt known as a Haunt On WestLake Drive first emerged on a quiet and dark street in Lacey, Washington. What began as a mere garage spectacle on All Hallows' Eve has since grown into a frightening landscape, complete with sprawling and spooky displays encased in shrouds of fog and eerie lighting and a haunted house teeming with sinister actors and petrifying scares that are not for the faint of heart.
As fate would have it, a relocation back to the haunted grounds of Illinois in early 2024 prompted a name change. No longer bound to Westlake Drive, the haunt shed its former identity and embraced a new moniker: HOWL'd. A clever play on it’s original title, fitting seamlessly into the spirit of the Halloween season.
The Creator
Greetings and welcome to HOWL’d!
Since Rebecca was but a wee ghoul, All Hallows’ Eve has held her spellbound beneath the watchful moon. She still recalls the magic of a childhood night, when a friend’s mother transformed her yard into a graveyard of wonder—draped in handmade witch’s garb, sprinkling snaps among fallen leaves to startle unsuspecting wanderers. That flicker of fright lit a lantern in Rebecca’s heart, one that still glows to this day.
Through the passing years, she has found her calling in conjuring playful chills and eerie thrills, delighting in the art of crafting scenes that shimmer with both shivers and smiles. Each haunt is a new chance to weave shadows, summon laughter, and enchant the brave souls who dare to wander near.
Rebecca relishes the challenge of dreaming up fresh frights and whispers a cheerful warning: beware, dear visitor—the howl of HOWL’d may just follow you home.
Thanks for visiting… and Happy Haunting!
~Rebecca
