It must be fun to throw a scary Halloween show at your house in the San Fernando Valley or people wouldn’t invite the public — and even hire a publicist.
And that’s what the Katz family in Granada Hills is doing, inviting the public to join them for their four-minute Halloween experience with a promise that, “Ghosts will fly throughout the yard as animatronics, pop-outs and music do the spooking. You will see some familiar faces like Barbie and Ken!”
“The House on the Corner – Revenge of the Dolls’ if you dare to take the risk! Ghosts will fly throughout the yard as animatronics, pop outs and music do the spooking. You will see some familiar ‘faces’ like Barbie and Ken! Friday in Porter Ranch CA, Oct 27, 2023. The 4 minute show
is on Tuesday Halloween October 31.

Stefanie Katz, the daughter in the father-daughter duo, grew up in the Granada Hills house on Baird Avenue, which she says was a party house in her youth. But “now that I’m 35, I’ve long outgrown that — but the entertainment continues.”
Three years ago she created a small Halloween show at her home in Encino, and she tried to rope in her father but he said, “I’m too old for that.” But when she asked to borrow his “stuff” like his old tricks and his electronics, he decided to join in.
“We started with a smaller show at my house in Encino,” she says. “Fast-forward to today, we’re able to put together a show (in Granada Hills) that has quickly become the talk of the neighborhood.”
They won’t go into much detail, but the experience is about 4 minutes long and free.
