Mom's Haunted House Returns To Livermore
The family-run haunted house on Kathy Court will return for the first time since 2019.
LIVERMORE, CA — Mom is back! Livermore’s creepiest haunted house is returning for the first time since 2019, and she’s bringing along her whole family to scare the daylights out of visitors.
The house began in the late 90s on Kathy Court, when “Mom,” also known as Christie Smith, began decorating her home for Halloween. In 2004, she opened her home up to the public as a walk-through haunted house for the first time, and in 2012, it became a full-time haunt.
By 2015, the family started assigning themes to the houses:
