The first year the <br />Haunted house drew 40 people. By the eighth year, attendance had grown to 4,400 people over four nights. A larger <br />venue was needed. <br />CRPD stepped in to help and in 2008 the Reign of Terror Haunted House relocated to Hillcrest Center. <br />In 2009, Reign of Terror moved to a vacant store at the Thousand Oaks Marketplace. That was the first year that <br />CRPD was provided with a donation. To date, CRPD has received a total of $335,000 in donations from Reign of <br />Terror that supports Conejo Theatre for Everyone and the Thousand Oaks Teen Center. The contributions offset <br />program costs and help with equipment purchases. Reign of Terror also supports other local organizations and <br />individuals. <br />In 2020, Thousand Oaks Marketplace changed the location of Reign of Terror from above Gold's Gym down to the <br />lower level. Prior to 2020, there was no rent required as part of the lease agreement. The 2020 lease required a <br />rent amount of $70,000. Upon completion of the relocation to the lower level, COVID-19 guidelines prohibited being <br />able to operate, resulting in the Thousand Oaks Marketplace waiving the lease rent in its entirety. <br />This year the Thousand Oaks Marketplace has increased the rent to $75,000 and the lease period runs from July <br />through December. <br />Respectfully submitted, Prepared by, <br />Rochelle Callis, Administrator Melissa Ruwhiu, Recreation Services Manager <br />Recreation and Community Services Recreation and Community Services <br />Enclosures <br />Current Proposed Temporary Lease Agreement <br />2020 Existing Temporary Lease Agreement <br />ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />805-495-6471 1 Fax: 805-497-3199 1 parks@crpd.org I www.crpd.org <br />
