Henry Street Horrors is a group of people who put on a haunted house every year in the Pontiac Illinois area.  I have been involved in the haunted house for the last 7 years, and started the last year the haunted house was located on Henry Street.  Since that time we have moved to the 4H park where we have been the last 5 years.  Recently we lost our founder Mick Huxtable in a tragic accident.  This is the story of Henry Street Horrors in Mick's own words from the 2001 season.

ALLOWEEN ... The very name brings up memories of dressing up, trick or treating, and carving Jack-o-Lanterns. But for us here at Henry Street Horrors, it's a ways of life. We started modestly in 1984. Wow, Has it been that long? Just a couple of kids, Mick and John, looking for something to do on Halloween. I have always loved scaring the crap out of people and have always been pretty good at it, so it was a natural fit that I would grow attached to Halloween. The first few years were miserable, just a couple of kids with no money, relying on junk from around the house and our imaginations. I remember it well, on that cool autumn Sunday, " Let's make a graveyard or something." That statement would go on to be a good part of the driving force of our lives. After about 6 years, I got engaged to Jackie and moved away from John's neighborhood.
