The Halloween Haunted House event continues with Part 2! It’s time to check out some of the other fine businesses in Grimsley Village.
The first stop is the Black Cat Emporium where you’ll find unique, strange, and sometimes ghoulish items. If you want to stay the night you can always get a room at the Buzzard Bed & Breakfast and should something unfortunate occur, Cadaver & Digger Undertakers will take care of everything.
Before you leave be sure to stop at the town square where you can say hello to the mayor.
BLACK CAT EMPORIUM
You can tell by the name and the décor that the owner is very fond of black cats.
The shop proprietor is Mr. Grimsley. As you might guess, the town was founded by his ancestors. What a lovely cabinet full of all kinds of goodies.
In the shop window, you can see a beautiful crystal ball and a bowl of very rare dragon tears.
Look, they have a one of a kind All-Seeing Eye. I have no idea what’s in that bell jar and I’m not sure I want to know.
BUZZARD BED & BREAKFAST
The Buzzard Bed & Breakfast doesn’t get many customers, the last was a couple of honeymooners who came and never left. You can see the bride's ghost in the front window.
I bet she was a lovely bride, but now, not so much.
For a spookier look add spider webs.
CADAVER & DIGGER UNDERTAKERS
I see Mr. Cadaver is directing one of his zombie minions. There are rumors in the town that Cadaver and Digger are digging up more than they are burying. I suspect they are the ones supplying Ghoul and Sons Chemists with the skeletons.
You don’t suppose that this is where the Retching Toad Eatery's food comes from??? The place looks a bit torturous.
Yes, there is really an embalming solution named “Frigid”. I guess when you deal with the dead you have to have a sense of humor.
GRIMSLEY VILLAGE SQUARE
The main square is in the heart of the village. The residents are proud of its lovely 13th-hour clock. Looks like it's a full moon tonight.
There’s the mayor waiting to great newcomers.
And look, the Halloween Carnival is coming and you can buy your tickets at the clock tower.
Looks like the evening edition of the Grimsley Village Herald is out and tonight’s headline is “Halloween Carnival Comes To Town – October 1”. There are some other interesting articles too; “Thrifty Witch to Expand”, “Unhappy Customer Sues Grizelda’s House of Beauty” and “Strange Noises Heard at Night at the Dying to Get in Cemetery”.
Things are never dull in Grimsely Village!

GHOSTMORE MANOR
Every village has its haunted mansion, a place that is whispered about and strangers are warned not to go near. For Grimsley Village, it's Ghostmore Manor. Some say it's cursed other say it’s full of dark magic. Even the dastardly Cadaver and Diggers Undertakers avoid Ghostmore.

Halloween Haunted Village - MAD SCIENTIST LABORATORY
It’s a dark and stormy night in Grimsley Village, the kind of night Dr. Deranged has been waiting for. Tonight he will be taking advantage of the lighting storm to further his work on animating a giant brain.
With help from his mechanical minions, Dr. Derange hopes to see the culmination of his diabolical plans.
Inside all preparations have been made. The brain is resting on the platform being fed by tubes of fluid. The electrodes are in place leading up to the lightning collector installed on the roof.
In a fevered frenzy, Dr. Deranged works to finish the construction of his electrical plasma machines which he hopes will harness enough energy to animate the brain. His work is cutting edge and dangerous. If things don't work out, no doubt Cadaver and Digger will be the first on the scene.
You can see his formulas on the chalkboard, books, charts and laboratory equipment. It’s taken years of work culminating in this one night.
On the outside, the lab appears calm and serene surrounded by seasonal pumpkins and vines, but inside it’s a different story.
The storm is getting closer, which means it’s time to fire up the machines.
Everyone in Grimsley Village senses something is about to happen. After tonight, the world might not ever be the same……BWAHAHAHAHA
