Revamped site coming soon

The Hellbilly Holler website will be undergoing a redesign. The gators have escaped the swamp! Stay tuned for new pics, updates, and one of these days...an actual newsletter.

Hellbilly Holler

For the past 15 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.

For 2024 we have reached YEAR 15 in Hellbilly Holler! For the followers of SueBob they know that this marks the "Transformation" year. In this "must see" saga you will witness what becomes of SueBob after the Swamp Witch "done got her" in the previous movie!

Also, with the onset of AI animation we will be changing up the look of the Holler to feature more projection...or are they just props come to life? You'll have to come see. In addition to custom animations we are adding a truly horrific feature to our swamp. What could be more horrific than gators and corpses you say? You'll just have to see it to believe it!

Back 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, named Merrick, in the rocking chair that was once occupied by Bocephus who mysteriously disappeared on his last moonshine run out of the Holler. Who is this little baby that Merrick is holding? See our next movie to find out!

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.

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?
