About the Haunt

House of Freak Andy is a haunt attraction in North Portland's historic St. Johns district.

House of Freak Andy grew from Matt and Dori Isakson's shared love of Halloween, horror, hearses, strange old treasures, and making things together. What began as decorating their St. Johns home has grown year by year into an elaborate haunted cemetery filled with handmade props, animatronics, creatures, and ghostly vehicles.

Matt builds the haunt. He is the sculptor, collector, and creative force behind the props, characters, vehicles, and original artwork, and he assembles the whole cemetery himself each year. Dori runs design, merchandise, and the online side of HoFA.

FAQ

Good to Know

Is it scary for young kids?
It's spooky, playful fun built for the whole family, with free candy and balloons for kids 12 and under.
Where do we park?
Street parking is available along N. Chicago Ave between Smith St. and Seneca St. You're also welcome to drive past and enjoy the display from your car.
Is there a cost to visit?
No, House of Freak Andy is free to visit and enjoy. Donations are always appreciated and go straight back into building next year's haunt.
Can we walk through, or just look from the street?
Both. The yard display can be enjoyed from the sidewalk or from your car during the days it's up. The walk-through opens on Halloween night from 7–10pm.
What should we expect inside?
Live actors, fog machines, flashing and strobing lights, and loud sound effects. If anyone in your group is sensitive to those, the sidewalk view is a gentler way to enjoy it.
Can we take photos?
Please do. Tag us on Facebook or Instagram, we love seeing what you capture.
Are restrooms available?
No, there is no restroom on site. Plan accordingly, especially with little ones.
What happens if it rains?
The outdoor display usually stays up in light rain. Heavy rain or high winds may mean we shut off fog, animatronics, or electrical effects, or close the walk-through for safety. Any changes get posted to our Facebook page.
