Boot Hill Information

Haunting since 2000, Boot Hill billed itself as the most elaborate Halloween yard display in Orange County. The “Legend of Boot Hill” centered around the ghost of Jedediah Smith, who “has been known to roam the decaying grounds of Boot Hill, exacting revenge on all who cross his path!” The home haunt featured a small pathway filled with professionally lit displays, including some animated projections and a floating lantern.
