The Kill on Old Mill

11/25/2025

Hello Creepies,

"The Kill" used 24 real pumpkins in our display this year. After "The Kill" closed for the season, some were given to neighbors, some were cut up by the minions (they love fresh roasted pumpkin seeds with Cajun spice!). We still have a bunch of pumpkins available for those that have a taste for fresh roasted pumpkin seeds (or a recipe featuring pumpkin). The remaining pumpkins are by our garage door. Take what you desire as we will be bringing the remainder to LRS "pumpkin smash", compost on Friday morning. If you take pumpkins, please recycle the leftovers with your yard waste.

Cheers!

Hi Creepies,
We have been working on dismantling "The Kill" since Halloween night (3am). About 10 minutes ago, we finally finished putting it to rest for the season! Thanks to everyone that visited during our full display nights, and thank you for your generous donations towards the food pantry. This was the second largest food donation and the fifth largest cash donation that we received since we have been collecting. Please keep the food pantry in mind throughout the year, as they are a bit overwhelmed and would welcome any donations. The minions earned a few days break, then will begin repairing damaged props and creating new ones this Saturday.... that is if they have yard damage restoration completed!

Stay spooky and have a wonderful holiday season!

Howdy Creepies,
Thank you so much for visiting us during our full display nights! We’re enjoyed talking with you and really liked seeing the fun and screams that our humble haunt brought forth. Also, thanks for all of your generous food and cash donations for our local food pantry. They will definitely appreciate it! Thanks to those who came back on Halloween night after the hailstorm/heavy rain. Our minions were busy in the display fixing issues that the undead brought upon us, when Mother Nature unleashed her fury. We wish that we had footage of visitors scrambling to their cars when it hit. The hail hurt when it hit, and the minions seem to have permanent dents in their heads. Part of the full display was dismantled on Halloween night (3:30am dinner for the minions). We are now concentrating on taking down the scenes in the living room and garage. Our main display (minus a handful of props) will be illuminated until we are ready to take down the main yard. The donation bin and cash mailbox for the food pantry will be available until we take down the main yard display. The minions are trying to get a few more donations as the food pantry needs help prior to the holiday rush. We are humbled that 3-4 generations of visitors are telling us that they are passing on the tradition. Can you believe that this year marked 25 years since we moved the haunt from the living room to the outdoors? The minions are feeling really old!

Cheers,
The Kill on Old Mill Minions

The Kill on Old Mill
Hi Creepies,
Halloween is creeping up on us (Friday). We will have full display happening after dusk. Some of our Ghost Buster minions will be on site for this celebration. Trick-or-Treats will be available at the bottom of the driveway by the hearse (while supplies last). The minions are working overtime fixing props (that Mother Nature claimed), along with packing goodie bags with candy and toys for trick-or-treaters.
Hope to see you here on Halloween!
As a reminder, we are collecting non-perishable food and cash donations for our local food pantry. They really need help prior to the Christmas rush! Your generous donations to the food pantry (helping your neighbors) is greatly appreciated!
Cheers, -The Minions of KOOM

Good evening Creepies! We are happy to finally publish a post in regards to Halloween 2024. The minions were set back about 8 months due to family issues, but have no fear... the minions are working feverishly to produce new props and scares for this season. Working on making some new "eye candy" and perhaps a startle scare or two. Our full display nights will be on October 18, 19, 25, 26 and 31. Mark your calendars! Check back for updates and stay spooky!

A shout out and thank you to a couple of the Ghostbusters that came out today to help us move the mausoleum parts that have become too heavy for this minion to lift. Three scenes have been put to rest and hopefully the remaining of the main yard will follow this week. Thank you all for visiting and for your generous donations to the food pantry!

Happy Halloween Creepies!!!
We're posting this early since the minions will be crazy-busy preparing for the big day tomorrow. Trick-or-treating will begin at 3:00pm by the hearse and continue until supplies run out. Once again, the Ghostbusters will be on site to keep the unknown entities at-bay. Startles and scares will be delayed to allow our younger minions to enjoy the holiday without having to go to counseling sessions. "The Kill's" full display with extra scenes, actors and effects will be after dark until 10:27pm. Once again, we will be collecting non-perishable food and cash donations for our local food pantry. The scares will be from dark until 10:27pm! Happy Haunting!
