A San Antonio family welcomes visitors to Menefee Manor, a free 'spooky walk-through' in their yard.
October evenings on a lonely, isolated road in southwest San Antonio are filled with screams, shrieks, howls and demonic laughter issuing from the yard of a modest house on Menefee Boulevard.
“We decided we need to bring more kids out from the community,” Hernandez said, but they didn’t expect to become a social media sensation. The walk-through begins creepily but innocently enough with a demented, purple-haired carnie, a lantern-bearing, black-clad plague doctor and a talking witch, but proceeds quickly to a bench bearing two animatronic figures displaying lifelike, repetitive movements.Miguel and Brianna Olivarez brought their 2-year-old son Luca Angel, confident that the stoic child would absorb the frights with his usual calm demeanor.
Patricia Hernandez gently chided that she tries to rein in her husband, who she said is “crazy about Halloween.” Friends have told them that they should charge an entry fee, but they are resolute about keeping free admission, though they accept donations.
