Sinister Pumpkin is primarily made up by three people... Rich Courtright, Dan Courtright and Mark Pavey. Together we have a love of Halloween, scaring the daylights out of people and tinkering with cool stuff.

The tinkering part is what really keeps us going. We all love to make stuff and play with different things. This should be fairly obvious by looking at the different kinds of props we make. Pneumatics, home-made and purchased, "Monster Mud" creatures, electronics, audio, video, etc... One of these days we're going to try out for Junkyard Wars. We can make some pretty cool stuff out of junk lying around.

Anyway... more stuff about us. We live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA (Rich and Mark) and Upland, CA (Dan). We're all married, have kids, and our wives think we're all nuts, but they put up with us. We have an incredible group of friends that help out from time to time.

We began in 2000 and are now in our fourth year. Each year it grows by leaps and bounds. Approximately 750 people went through last year's haunt and we hope to do double that this year.

If there's anything else you want to know, just send us an email. Rich is also a member of the Methodz Of Madness list. If you have an interest in Halloween and home haunting, this is a great way to get new ideas and even some help when you need it.

Rich and Mark having loads of fun! This is about a day before Halloween and as usual, all hell's breaking loose!
