The King of Halloween



Some may say that this statement is bold, and especially since we are quickly coming upon Christmas, but it needs to be out there that artist Albert Reyes really does come close it and he does it all in El Sereno. Every year, besides having an annual party that includes live acts, he builds a haunted house in his backyard. And, every year the project has grown. Initially we had to crawl through the maze, which was no easy task in our costumes. In 2009, it became a full walk-through maze with a watchtower. This creative venture takes at least 5 months, but right after Halloween it comes down in a day. It is an artistic tradition that is truly a labor of love. And for those of us that hold Halloween as our favorite holiday, we can't wait to see what the next edition holds!
