The scares await inside the Wilsley Bros. The annual haunted house began as something the Meyers did for their daughter’s 9th birthday, just a few days before Halloween in 1990, and now bears references to their grandchildren. “They always supported us.”Įmmett died a few years ago and Ginny is 92, he said. “They were Halloween enthusiasts,” Preston Meyer said during a walk-through of the nearly completed haunt on Tuesday.
