Reaper's Wrath Haunted House

It's time to tell the story. Reaper's wrath has long been shuttered. Up to the present we have only posted minimal photos and videos to attract "guests" but still create a mystique around the haunt. Now, 5 years later that mystique has faded and we feel it's time to post more of those photos and show what went on behind the scenes of what was, for many years, Sacramento's scariest haunt. Stay tuned. Photo: Steve McClelland on one of the last nights of the haunt.

Reaper's Wrath has been giving guests nightmares since 1995. But now the end is here. We've grown over the years, quadrupling the size of the haunt and working with more than 20 volunteer employees on any given night. We donated nearly 4 tons of food to the Sacramento Food Bank in the last three years we were open. But...even the undead get tired. It was a good run, and we've decided to retire from the haunting business. Building this haunt has taken nearly 6 months out of ...the year the last three years. We loved every minute of it but it was HARD work. With friends and neighbors we built props, painted, worked on special effects, makeup, costumes, sound, lighting and much much more. Now we'll finally have time to visit the other amazing haunts in the area. Also, we will finally have time to post photos here, both of the haunt and behind the scenes. We encourage you to share your experiences with Reaper's Wrath. Tell us what year was the best or what your favorite room was. It's been a real pleasure putting on Reaper's Wrath for so many years. We have so many fond memories of guests wetting their pants, grown women having complete mental breakdowns and the Sheldon Football team running through screaming and crying like a bunch of 4th grade girls. Thanks to each and every one of you that helped to make the haunt happen each year by volunteering or donating food. Please consider continuing to give to the Elk Grove Food Bank during this season in memory of Reaper's Wrath Haunted House. Pictured: The mental ward from 2012

This was the last cover photo (and the banner photo on our website) to announce that we were no longer open. It wasn't successful. We still get phone calls, emails and messages asking what time we're open and where we're located.

We are sorry that 2013 was our last season. Even the undead need a rest, and we've been haunting since 1995! We are officially retired from the haunting business. We encourage you to continue to support the Elk Grove Food bank with donations of non-perishable food. We may continue to post pictures here from time to time.

If you didn't make it this year, you missed out. But here are some of the Zombies that you missed out on.

Did you get a chance to meet Chief? If not, tonight is the last night to meet him. I heard he is running out of meat for his stew.

Who knew a room full of nothing but clocks could be so scary?

It's here.....come check it out!

Here are some Zombies you may encounter if you dare to go this weekend to the Reaper's Wrath Haunted House
