DRACHENMOOR Daily

Drachenmoor began with the Goepfert family creating a fantasy world in their own front yard so that children could enjoy the thrill of a spooky Halloween. The yard haunt evolve into a spooky trail with small scares and interesting things without blood and gore. Over time, the custom made animated creatures became larger than life, each having their own story to tell.

“CLOSED HIS WORKSHOP DOORS”

Dan the Wizard Man has officially “CLOSED HIS WORKSHOP DOORS”.  Yup.  The Wizard is at work!  Rumor has it that before the great big garage door came down to hide the workshop activity, a passer-by who wishes to remain anonymous got a glimpse of tentacles inside. The unidentified individual reported that the tentacles were at least two stories tall and that he could not get a good count of how many there were before the workshop door closed, hiding this creature from view.  

When asked about it, Dan the Wizard Man just grinned and said his next creation will be revealed when Drachenmoor opens for Halloween this year.

When checking with the neighbors, they reported seeing flashing lights and an eerie glow shining through the workshop cracks and along the bottom of the garage door.  One neighbor reported strange sounds coming from the general direction of the Wizard’s workshop late at night.

We are just left to wonder.....  for Dan the Wizard Man has a “Closed” sign on his workshop and he is not letting anyone in!

Any ideas?  Please share.

Dragons Sapphira & Izabella at Drachenmoor

Sapphira stands watch year round at 2333 Crow rd in Joplin year round. She welcomes visitors to Drachenmoor every October with Izabella and a cast of other Halloween characters cared for by the Goepfert family. Sapphira was completed in September of 2018 after 16 months of construction. Her wing extends across the driveway to serve as a gate and during the Halloween season she blows smoke from her jaws. The shimmering scales which cover her body are crushed recycled glass and her belly scales are hammered copper plates. Her daughter Izabella has been a fixture in Drachenmoor for many years and was created by an artist from Springfield, MO. Izabella is covered with welded steel scales and she also blows smoke in her excitement for all the Halloween visitors. She can be found on the haunted trail in Drachenmoor with all her creepy and monstrous friends amidst the tombstones. Drachenmoor is open for visitors from mid October through Halloween.
