I never did get a full listing of haunted houses operating in Des Moines for 2010, but here are the ones I knew about. For the 2011 listing, the data will be provided in a much nicer table format, and we will categorize events. We will also try to do video interviews/promotions with the events (if they want) and post summary/reviews of ones we visit. Stay tuned!
