STEVE KOCI

Steve Koci aka “Halstaff” on the forums and YouTube, participates in several different Make and Take groups and is a moderator at Haunt Forum. Steve and his wife began haunting 4 years ago and put on the haunt Sanctuary of Spooks in San Diego, which is entirely staffed by animatronics. They have built and costumed all of the props and focus on a “spooky” theme without blood and gore. Steve and his wife have used over 40 animatronics and projections in their haunt last year, and have plans to add more in the coming year. In addition to building all their props, Steve designs and builds most of the controllers that operate the haunt.
In 2013, Sanctuary of Spooks was proud to be selected as “Best International Home Haunt” in the Canadian Haunters Association Home Haunters Awards and was chosen for the “Best Motor Prop” for the Pete the Pirate prop in the Dead With Dave Home Haunters Awards.
