‘A place for everything’: Inside Pulaski’s family-run haunted house

Revenge Haunt, a popular haunted house, moved from the Chase Stone Barn to downtown Pulaski this year, and the owners said they plan to use the space for more than just Halloween.

  • A former school now houses a hand-built haunted attraction on South Saint Augustine Street in Pulaski
  • The Van Lannen family runs the attraction themselves
  • Viewers get an up-close look inside Revenge Haunt
  • The attraction is open every weekend through the rest of October

Tony Van Lannen grew up loving all things horror, even helping put on a haunted trail at his mom’s house for years.

“I would literally sit out in a pile of leaves for hours waiting for people to come just so I could get that one good scare,” Tony said.

Years later that’s still what he’s after, with the help of his own family.

This is the eighth season of the Van Lannens’ self-funded Revenge Haunted Attraction. Previously at the Chase Stone Barn, it’s now at a former school on South Saint Augustine Street. The family says they spend countless hours hand-building all the sets and make most of the props themselves.
