Friday. August 31st, was a special day at Knott's Berry Farm. As the sun began its descent and dipped down behind the buildings and stores of Calico Ghost Town, a lucky group of press, bloggers, fans and staff members gathered in front of a corner building on School House Road.
1973 School House Road, to be exact, which clever fans of Knott's Scary Farm may have already realized is a reference to the very first Halloween Haunt in October of 1973.
The building we all waited so eagerly to enter was originally known as Mother Murphy's Boarding House many years prior. Over the decades it has been the location of various other shops, but as of September 1st it has become the home of the 40th Anniversary Haunt Museum. The exterior of the building is now host to spiderwebs with flickering jack-o-lanterns perched upon the porch roof and a chain hanging across the front steps.
