Holmes Haunted Homes

From 2008 to 2015, I operated Holmes’ Haunted Homes; a high quality “animatronic” Halloween show combining robotics, music, video, and physical effects. The shows were fully automated and fun for everyone. We never used blood, gore, or horror in our shows so they were suitable for all ages.

The spectacular 2013 robotic show featured our skeletal superstars led by Cap’n Soggy Bottom and his crew. We showcased more characters, more animation, more music, and more fun than ever before! As with all our shows, “Pirates of Niagara” was a family friendly event with no blood, gore, or intense scares. We believe that Halloween entertainment should be lighthearted and fun for all.
