Terror on Two Jacks

7410 Two Jacks Trl.
Round Rock, TX 78681
512-422-0352

While normally quiet most of the year, the Hairy Man becomes angry during the month of October in anticipation of all the trick or treaters who will once again trespass on his beloved Brushy Creek Trail. Over 12 years ago, the owners, sensitive to the malevolent haunting of the Hairy Man, began the process of transforming their home into both a shrine for the grave they disturbed and a resting place for other evil spirits to join with the Hairy Man in torturing the living. As word spread of the family’s strange behavior, and the events of Halloween that were stranger still, local residents simply began referring to the house as the Terror on Two Jacks. Many children and adults come to pay homage to the Hairy Man and most accept, and survive, the challenge of entering the labyrinth of evil spirits that springs forth in the garage each year. – web.facebook.com/pg/TerrorOnTwoJacks
