Over the past four years thousands of people from all across eastern Pennsylvania have visited Moyer’s backyard haunt. To accommodate more visitors and reduce the burden on his neighbors, Moyer decided he would move his 2018 haunt to a new location.
As an owner of a local home cleaning company, he partnered with one of his clients, Retro Fitness, to find a larger space. In the Spring of that year, Moyer began designing the blueprints for his new haunted attraction that would utilize a piece of untouched property in the Kenhorst Shopping Plaza. Moyer named it Moonlight Massacre.
