tHe BLoodSHed BrotHerS For a couple of lads barely out of college twin brothers, Jeromy and Zachary Ball, from California, USA, are doing pretty well in the scare entertainment world. Known as The Bloodshed Brothers the lads, now aged 22, first got a taste for scare way back in the 4th grade, in 1996, when they discovered that sitting on their front porch scaring people during Halloween was a lot more fun than trick-or-treating.
It wasn't scary at all but that was the moment we were bitten by the bug.”
From then on all the guys were interested in come October was making their Temecula home look scary while laying in the front yard pretending to be dead just to frighten people.
Due to popular demand the lads’ did more of the same the following year, in 2001, before creating a pretty large walk-through two years later which attracted about 200 fright revellers.
The lads’ macabre sense of fun was non-stop and in 2000 the pair officially unveiled their first haunted house walk-through horror experience using just a fog machine, strobe light and some black plastic.
For the next eight years, as the twins completed high school, their growing scare enterprise was scaled down to a few haunted house fests until 2008 when the lads, then aged 20, made a grand return to ‘hauntville’ after moving into a new rented house which they quickly transformed into a two-night scare-house which pulled in 600 people.
“You walked from the driveway to the front door and back down,” they said. “Our big scare was a cardboard box with a hole cut in it with a person’s head poking through the hole. As you went to grab the candy the head came to life.
