presents

Scare Company is the production company behind Haunt13, Garage Of Evil & Dead Time Dreams - Tech/Designhighly immersive, interactive haunted attractions Gearing up & ready to come to The San Benito County. Right now we're scouting locations, building monsters, and assembling a crew. Doors are going to creak open soon.

// Transmission 01 — Who's Behind This

Built by haunters, for the thrill.

Scare Company is the next chapter for the builder & haunter Eric Garthwait, who has been making people scream for 20 years — starting with a home haunt in San Jose, CA to building professional sets and special effects for Bay Area attractions, and shipping custom electronics, props, and animatronics to haunters across the United States. After moving to Hollister in 2018, that obsession became Haunt13: five annual front-yard attractions with drive-by radio broadcasts, a homemade elevator that lifted and shook guests, and lines stretching down the block.

We've done it for everyone else. Now, as Scare Company, we're producing our own flagship show — Haunt13, rebuilt bigger than the front yard ever allowed.
