We are Jody and Mandee Schoolcraft, and we have been doing home haunts in Orange County, CA since 2005, when it was just the two of us scaring trick-or-treaters in our little Irvine neighborhood with very little in the way of special effects and decorations. We’ve grown from that little walkway to a large 6 section, 5 minute walk-through maze as we’ve moved from Irvine, to Rancho Santa Margarita, then Aliso Viejo, and now, finally, in Mission Viejo. It’s a family affair that we all enjoy doing together every year. They have been in the maze scaring since they were 6 & 7 years old (by choice!) and have perfected the art of terrorizing our visitors. Jody is right in there with them, lurking around corners, popping up where you least expect him. Mandee runs the entrance of the maze, corralling the crowd and making sure everyone is ready for a good time. We have many helpers who volunteer every year to set up the maze, scare and run the line, and tear down. We are very grateful to our friends for all they do to help us pull this off year after year.
