It's always a Halloween hoot at the Jack Mark's residence at Arnoldsburg, with the Marks family, relatives, friends and neighbors coming up with something new and exciting every year.
Janet Marks said it was hard to surpass the year that Jack dug a "grave" in the front yard, covered himself with some fake grass, and "rose from the grave" for trick or treaters.
This year hundreds of kids and adults visited the "Haunted Garage," which had six rooms of thrills and terror.
Even the Marks family buffalo behind the house seemed to be part of the act.
Waking up the creature...
