Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Episode 8.06 Oregon School for the Deaf

What kind of house should get a makeover on Halloween? A Haunted House!

The students at the Oregon School for the Deaf have a Halloween haunted house fundraiser that has become known as the "Nightmare Factory." It's always a scary fun time for all. Unfortunately, the Nightmare Factory has become a nightmarishly unsafe place. Without the funds from Nightmare Factory, the school can't stay open. Think that'll scare away Ty and the Extreme Team? No way!

The boys' dorm was designed in the 1950's. Ty, Michael, Paige and John learn that parts of the dorm are seismically unsafe. The students from the school are flown to Minnesota where they get brand new state-of-the-art hearing devices. While there, they get a surprise visit from award-winning actress Marlee Matlin.

The haunted house makeover kicks into high gear with a little help from horror movie man/heavy metal legend Rob Zombie, who shows up in a scary cool car. It's always a plus when you have a zombie helping out on a haunted house.

Michael wants to turn the place into a ghoul school. The focus will be to make the new dorm eco-friendly. Lots and lots of recycling go into the effort and Michael visits a horror movie master who provides him with some cool animatronics for the new haunted house.

Rob Zombie adds his horror insight to the idea of creating a room for a zombie prom. He also suggests having people in suits that match the wall in the hall. This way they can pop out and startle visitors who never knew they were there. The guy knows what scares us. Now, join us as we head into this all new haunted house…if you dare! BUS DRIVER, MOVE THAT HEARSE…UH…BUS!

Here's a breakdown of the new School/Nightmare Factory:
