The bell tolls for Spirits on Sproat

 Alas, we've reached the finish line in our Halloween season marathon. But Spirits on Sproat still has one more night to thrill you. Visit our home haunt one last time tonight before the coffin lid closes again for another year. We'll open an hour early this evening, at 6 pm. 

Thanks to everyone who came out this year and helped make for a frightfully fun season of screams. Happy Halloween!

Meet Dingbert

The school bell reminds you it's time to start class. The dinner bell chimes that suppertime is nigh. And the church bell rings out on Sundays. But when you hear Dingbert's bell, you'd better run. Be foolish enough to stick around and you'll find out why. Among the fascinating facets of this frightful figure: 

• Famous for: Ringing a tiny bell that indicates your time is up 

• Favorite book: For Whom the Bell Tolls 

• Known as: The only ghost who needs a concierge desk 

• Dirty little secret: Tried to start a séance, but it just sounded like a cat toy

• Moonlights as: The night watchman for Ring home security headquarters

Meet Tiffany, the Bride of Chucky

Good things come in small packages, it's been said. But bad girls come in ultra-petite sizes sometimes, as is the case with the Bride of Chucky, who looks like she could fit into a diaper as easily as she could a sexy halter top. Here's what we know about her:

• Also known as: Tiffany, dollface, devil in a toddler’s dress

• Dirty little secret: She married Chucky for his money and plans to strangle him as soon as she lands a morning TV talk show deal

• Pet peeve: When Chucky forgets to put the potty chair seat down

• Favorite book: “Little Women”

Meet Michael Myers

What would our scary season be without the man who put the "howl" in Halloween? While he bears a striking resemblance to an albino-ized William Shatner (look it up, you doubters), his cold, expressionless face sends chills up the spines of teenage babysitters everywhere. He's not an easy creep to interview, but after some interrogation, here's what we've learned about Michael Myers:

• Most famous movie role: The voice of “Shrek”
• Weapon of choice: The Ginsu Cleave-O-Matic
• Who’s on his hit list: Hollywood hacks who attempt lame remakes of classic films

Meet Jake the Drake

Don't try stealing any gold from this fire-breather: He's bound to adopt a scorched earth policy on your posterior. Here's the lowdown on Jake the Drake: 

• Archenemy: Kendrick Lamar 

• Also known as: Dragon breath, Fireball, Maleficent’s alter ego

• Why they love him in Texas: Turns every meal into a barbecue

• Favorite TV shows: Hoarders, Golden Girls

• Secret shame: Allergic to knights

Spirits on Sproat now open every night through Halloween

 Your favorite Halloween house is now open every night through October 31. That means 14 straight evenings (weather permitting). Make plans to visit soon!

Meet Heartless Hal

Here's a real mummy's boy who wears his heart on his hand instead of his sleeve. Heartless Hal rises from his tomb every evening to seek out new cardiac victims to add to his collection.

• Known for: Ripping your heart from your chest and rubbing it in your face

• Inquiring minds want to know: Is he a mummy, or is he a zombie? 

• What the other monsters say about him: He’s too wrapped up in himself 

• Nicknames: The cardiac kid, lost gauze 

• Secret shame: He had a full head of hair until age 937

Meet Sir Stalks-a-Lot

One scarecrow who won't be traveling the Yellow Brick Road anytime soon is Sir Stalks-a-Lot, who would rather hang around our home haunt than seek out the great and powerful Oz. Fun facts about this strawman:

• Also known as: Our pumpkin-headed scarecrow

• What the crows say about him: He’s out of his gourd 

• Sick of: Pumpkin spice latte, Linus Van Pelt, The Smashing Pumpkins 

• Catchphrase: “That’s the last straw!”

Meet the Bride of Frankenstein

Guess who's married to tall, dark, and gruesome? It's the stitched up lady with Nefertiti hair, who'd rather hiss than kiss. Here's a bullet point roundup on the Bride of Frankenstein:

• Hair goals: invented the lightning bolt highlight trend before salons caught on.
• Commitment issues: only alive for 5 minutes and already rejecting her arranged marriage.
• Swipe left: not into tall, scarred guys with neck bolts.
• Powered by electricity: making her the original “plug-in hybrid.”

Meet Tipsy O'Neill

Got any skeletons in your closet? This guy sure does. His name is Tipsy O'Neill, and chances are if he's looking at you he's seeing double. Here's the dossier on this bonehead:

• Nickname: Boozy bones 

• Voted in high school: Most likely to be late for his own wake 

• Personal motto: Rattle responsibly but drink like there’s no tomorrow 

• Beverage of choice: Anything 80 proof and up 

• Secret shame: Lost his pants in a bar bet
