* Still organizing and editing all 2023 photos and uploading them soon. Sorry for the delay, It took a month just to pack up to the haunt. We had lots of new props which means lots pf new photos!

​

* We are expanded the script for the next installment of the SueBob series. This one is called "The Transformation of SueBob". Our previous film (The Possession of SueBob) was a quarterfinalist in both The Lonely Wolf Film Fest and the Upstate NY Horror Film Festival. Also we placed 2nd in our division for the MOONRISE Film Festival in Sonora Mexico! Additional filming for The Transformation of SueBob will begin in May.

​

* We were interviewed by the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism for a podcast and we filmed it as well. Excerpts of it have been released on TikTok and will soon be on our YouTube page. But first it will be released to our subscribers. In it I spill all the details of how Hellbilly Holler came to be.

​

* Keep your eye on our TikTok page where we will be announcing contests and upcoming news that I am not allowed to mention yet.

News

For the past 14 years Hellbilly Holler has been setting up in North Phoenix. We are a moderately scary display haunt that is always FREE. In 2020 and now 2023 we won the AZhaunters prize for best display haunt.

 

Each year we strive to expand the haunt introducing new props, lighting, and projection. We have added quite a bit of solar lighting so the haunt can be in "Nightlight"mode after closing. Hellbilly Holler is about 1/2 custom built and 1/2 store bought.

 

In 2021 we introduced our Wendigos in a laser vortex tunnel. And in 2022 we introduced "The Twins" Merle & Earl, our bile puking water feature, as well as a scarecrow named "Beakistair Crowley". In 2023 we introduced "The Bone Collector" who digs up graves and grinds the bones of the ancestral inhabitants of Hellbilly Holler for their magical properties. There is a new creeper in the rocking chair that was once occupied by Bocephus who mysteriously disappeared on his last moonshine run out of the Holler. The crowning glory of the new props is "Frank SinRata" our life sized singing rat in the side yard known as the 'Rat Patch". His appearance is a mysterious one. The Swamp Witch in her younger days used to date Frank Sinatra and it ended badly. She stole his soul and his singing voice and put it into her favorite rat and he now sings for all eternity in the Rat Patch of Hellbilly Holler.

Hellbilly Holler

What happens when a bunch of hillbillies are too lazy to leave the holler to do some food shopping? All hell breaks loose! The recently dead can't taste that bad can they? Graveyards were raided until there was nothing left. Now what?  

 

Three hillbillies, Jethro, Bocephus, and Vincent venture down to the wetlands to seek out Lucia the Swamp Witch. They conspire to lure tourists into their lair.

 

The Hellbillies get the meat, the Witch gets the souls, and the rest goes to the Gators. This arrangement costs them dearly. Souls wear thin when canniBa'alism is practiced.  

 

Madam Athena, Gypsy fortune teller, wanders the countryside warning travelers to steer clear of Hellbilly Holler. Her foreboding often goes unheeded as travelers seeking potions of love, youth, and revenge venture to the holler for Lucia's dark assistance.  

 

Many become dinner, few escape.  

 

What will your fate be?

Y'all can help Sue Bob, a little hillbilly girl, git her chops fixed. Just kidding, it will probably go to Halloween props.
