OPEN TONIGHT 7PM-10PM!


In Memory of Merlyn Linn ❤️

For more than 40 years, Linn’s Haunted House was Merlyn’s pride and joy. What started in the basement of his grocery store became a Des Moines Halloween tradition enjoyed by generations of families.

Merlyn passed away on September 17, 2026, but the tradition he created lives on. This season, we’re opening the doors in his honor and continuing something that meant so much to him.
