It all started off with a birthday party–and things went “rotten” from there.
Now, twenty-three years later, Burbank’s free home haunt, Rotten Apple 907, is still scaring everybody. And they’re also helping to build homes and put arts programs in the schools–because they are a nonprofit, accepting donations. After Halloween, they turn over one hundred per cent of their receipts to a chosen charity. This year, according to their Facebook page, they raised more than $2800 for Burbank Arts For All Foundation!
Preston Meyer, who first created his home haunt for his daughter’s birthday in 1990, talked with Over Coffee host Dot Cannon about the work that goes into creating a home haunt like “Rotten Apple 907”, his Halloween plans and some of his favorite experiences scaring visitors half to death!
