Monster Manor and Lite Frite are the annual fundraisers for the Mira Mesa Theatre Guild. These ALL-volunteer, non-profit Halloween attractions are housed under a 4000-square-foot tent located in the Target Shopping Center in Mira Mesa, Calif. Managed and run by professionals in the Motion Picture, Television, Theatre, and Audio Visual fields, Monster Manor brings some of the best "scares" around. Starting as a home haunt, Mira Mesa icon, Tim Allen, along with fellow haunter John Hart, decided to bring their love of Halloween to the public in 2001.

From its beginning as a small community haunted attraction, each year Monster Manor has grown more and more. It was the ONLY haunted attraction in San Diego be recognized by the San Diego Union-Tribune/SignOnSanDiego.com's 2009 "Best of San Diego" reader's poll, beating out some the more commercial attractions in town. More than half of the Manor's 200 volunteers are made up of teens from the local high school, who earn Community Service hours for their help in building and acting at the haunt. All "profits" from the haunt go to various charities and non profit organizations; including but not limited to: Boy Scouts, schools, etc ... The funds needed to produce the attractions come from many generous local and national sponsors.
