Hello! My name is Elliot Arnold, and I am a 15-year-old high school sophomore and the director of The Last of Us Haunted House. I've had the honor of building haunted houses like this one for three years now, and I'm truly happy with the way this year's haunt came out. This is the first year we'll be at the location in Tarzana. Originally, this haunted house was supposed to happen in October of 2024, but due to moving complications, it wasn't able to happen. Moreover, I've been delicately and precisely planning this experience for the past few years. My new house has so much more space to work with, giving me opportunities to build things I never had the chance to before. I'm so excited for our guests to see what we've made and to enjoy a free haunted house with the intent of bringing the community together. Of course, this event couldn't happen with one or two people. Without the constant dedication, help, and support of many people, we wouldn't be able to open our doors to the community. Below, I'd like to thank some of the most important people who were always there throughout this whole process.

​

Robyn Arnold (my mom), Zack Arnold (my dad), and Evelyn Arnold (my sister) - My family has always been so supportive of this endeavour, whether that be helping me build on weekends or supporting crowd control on busy nights. My sister has been the lead scare-actor for the past few years, my dad always helps me with the construction and design of the haunted house, and my mom is consistently there every night to ensure things run smoothly. This event wouldn't be possible without their constant help and support.

​

​Andi Brauer (my grandmother), Marc Brauer (my grandfather) - My grandparents have been one of my biggest cheerleaders throughout my life and my creative journey, putting together these events. They never miss a day of production and will always be there for whatever I need. Again, these haunted houses would never be possible without the constant support and encouragement I get from my grandparents.

​

The 2025 Scare-Actor Team - The scare-actors make this experience come to life. Of course, we have scenery, lighting, and props, but the energy the scare-actors bring to the haunted house truly elevates the experience. I thank the scare-actors for being dedicated, uplifting, positive, and always wanting to make the experience better for our guests. Without our incredible scare team, none of these haunted houses I've built would be successful in any way.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read through our website. I hope to see you this Halloween season!

Warmly,

Elliot Arnold
