About How to Haunt Your House

How to Haunt Your House is the creative world of the Mitchell family — a family brought together by Halloween, art, music, storytelling, and the joy of making things.

What began with Lynne and Shawn Mitchell transforming their home into the elaborate Mitchell Cemetery grew into books, original haunt projects, artwork, videos, music, and a collection of stories and characters dreamed up over many years.

Today, the whole family is helping carry that imagination forward. From books and DIY haunting ideas to original music, animation, illustration, filmmaking, and storytelling, How to Haunt Your House is becoming a place where old ideas can finally come to life — and new ones are always waiting just around the corner.

We’re the Mitchell family. We make things. We tell stories. Some people outgrow Halloween. We built a world around it.
