Dave Larson

Owner of Pirates Cave Productions

Dave Larson stuck his foot in the door of the Haunt world in 1999 when he put on a costume, stood in his front yard, and scared the trick-or-treaters. Over the next 22 years his home haunt expanded, from walk-through displays, to a multi-screened display during the COVID lockdowns. His final year of doing the home haunt, in 2021, he had 5,000 people come through the haunt over 9 nights, highlights included a computer-controlled simulated elevator, a dropping bridge, and DMX lighting.

Now Pirates Cave Productions, Dave Larson looks to bring tech, his experience with DMX, sound effects, lighting, and synching it all up to other haunts.
