Rachel Ertle, the founder of The Insomnia House, expressed enthusiasm about the community's support, stating, "Our neighbors are our biggest fans, they come through all the time. The kids love it; they love to see the progression of the haunted house. I start building it in August!"

Organizers announced this would be the last season at the current location due to the attraction's growing popularity, which has led to it outgrowing its neighborhood setting. The event operates every Friday and Saturday night until October 31, with an entry fee of $5. Proceeds from this season will benefit AutismUp.
