As a Fiendish Dr. who only makes haunted house calls, who knows haunts better than Dr. Phil? In 1997 Dr. Phil created and designed a haunt that was well ahead of its time. A haunt based in the vampires of literature, drawing on folklore and legend, and the famous fiendish vampires of literature, VAMPYRE HOUSE was born! For a first year haunt, it was a big success, and received a lot of local acclaim. The Haunt drew the attention of the local media and Dr. Phil appeared on many news segments and was the subject of a glowing write up in "INSIDE HOUSTON" magazine.
